Helloooooo!!! Today is the 10 Minute Craft Dash Birthday Blog Hop celebration and I am soooooo excited to be part of the fun!! Paulina over at Pretty Pink Posh has brought together the most awesome group of crafters for the blog hop and I cannot believe what an honour it is to be in amongst them!
You should have arrived her from Krissi Ng’s blog but if you’ve stumbled in here and want to start from the beginning then follow this link and pop over to Pretty Pink Posh and just hop on from there!!
The theme for this very special challenge is, of course “BIRTHDAY” and to go along with any good birthday party what do you need???
PRIZES!!!
And what amazing swag there is up for grabs!! Just take a look here:
For my blog hop creation I have created a card using some of the stamps from the brand new August release at Clearly Besotted. There are some absolutely incredible stamps and dies out this month – I’ve had SO much fun playing with them!!!
Once again I have made a wee video of my crafty process so just click below if you’d like to watch!! As you will see, I managed to finish my card JUST in the nick of time – again!! Phew – another close call!
EDITED TO ADD: I said it was the 2nd birthday of the Craft Dash Challenge but I meant first – don’t know where I got that from!!!!
The next stop on this fabulous blog hop is with none other than Laura Bassen (wow)! Please head on over there and tell her I said “Hi”!!!
Thanks for stopping by and celebrating along with us at the 10 Minute Craft Dash!!
Hugs,
Caryn xxxx

(This comment box has text so small and the font is so challenging my old eyes are having a really hard time seeing if what I’m typing makes sense or not…the printed comments are easily read, it’s just here that’s too small Thought you might like to know.)
Thanks for the observation Ruth. I’m not too techy so I will see if I can alter the size and font to make it easier to read. Many thanks for visiting and for your kind comments.

Hi Caryn, hope you see this comment, gorgeous card by the way, gonna have to give this a try lol – can I ask where did you get your Hero Arts swirly inkpads from please? x
Hi Alex, thank you for your kind comment. I think the inkpads you are referring to are actually the Papertrey Ink ones (shaped like a paisley pattern shape?). If so, you can only get them directly from Papertrey Ink in the States. The other ones I use are Hero Arts and I get them from Simon Says Stamp (again, in the states). Hope that helps?,
