Blog Hop

I have been SUCH a naughty blogger!! It's been such a long time, doesnt time fly! The truth is quite simply I've been run off my feet! Anyway, without further ado, it's time for our monthly blog hop over at Elisabeth Bell's World and it was the perfect excuse to make a card - sometimes it does you good to make time, I often find that the quick projects turn out awesomer than the ones you spend hours poring over!

So our lovely hop starts today and will end at 9am July 27th (Arizona time) so make sure you hop along with us and you wil get a chance to win some awesomeness!  We will choose 2 random winners which will be selected from the comments left on the Design Team blogs and the Digibells blog, so make sure you hop and leave us all a comment!

If you arrived here from the delightfully talented Mary Lou then you are in the right place!

So what exactly do you win?
Well, what more do you need than *Summer Daze* this scrumptious new Digistamp from Elisabeth which is available here...

Isn't this an adorable image? You can win this if you follow the rules! On my project here I've coloured it with Flexmarkers and added some bits and pieces from my Picknix 1 CD - I just adore that little lemonade stand! The sentiment is on the CD too but I handwrote it onto the sign and just added a few more bits, buttons and some lace.

So, what you need to do now is hop on over to Sofia and see what she's created, don't forget to leave us both a comment!

Ooo and before I go, just a quick heads up - did you know we're looking for Guest Designers over at Digibells? get your entries in everyone! They're a lovely friendly and uber talented team of designers so well worth having a go!
Right, that's it from me for now, toodlepip and enjoy hopping!
:D

Here Comes Christmas!

Wooohoo!! time for a post at last!  I am SO bad!! Quite honestly I've been run off my feet since May LOL! No excuses, I just dont know if I'm coming or going! Nothing much changes there then I hear you all cry, but we have been exceptionally busy I must confess.

I want to say a MASSIVE thankyou to all the lovely peeps we met at Doncaster Summer Crafting last weekend, another great show although numbers seemed to be down a bit on last year, a sign of the times I think and the fact we're all looking after our pennies a bit more maybe. After all, as crafters we know that we can't resist those goodies! :O

Anyway, at the show we unveiled this little baby, our brand new, latest release for Polkadoodles...

Yep, in the craft world Crimbo has well and truly landed I'm afraid!! I've resisted as long as I could this year as I do draw a line at Crimbo in June, but when I think about it even at age 18 (yes all those aeons ago) I was involved in Crimbo in July even back then when I worked in newspapers and we had to run *Book Early for Christmas* features for restaurants!! Any of you who worked in papers will know the story LOL!!

Anyway, Here Comes Christmas is rather scrummy I think, it reminds me of childhood Christmases with a lovely vintagey feel with a Polkadoodley twist...

...and you can catch a good old sneg of this on Create and Craft TV this Saturday 21st July at 11 and 4pm with meeeeeee...(sorry no Rosemary this show, she's sunning herself in Cyprus!).  I will also be back on at 6pm with a Kuretake show and lots more yummy delights from them, so please email in if you're watching!
