10 Minute Craft Dash Birthday Challenge Blog Hop!!!!!

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!! CD_23

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:

birthdaybash_grandprize birthdaybash_bloghop 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!!!

10 Minute CD #23 (1)

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,

Teaser Time day 3!

August Release – Sky’s The Limit

Teaser Time

Today I’m sharing a bright and bold card (understatement there) made using the new “Sky’s The Limit” stamp set and dies from the upcoming release from Clearly Besotted.  This set has some fabulous images including kites, clouds and a really cool sunburst.  I love the possibilities with this set!

Neon kites

So are you enjoying the sneaks you’ve seen so far this month?  I’m loving all the inspiration from the rest of the DT and Steph too – it’s going to be another busy month for her I think!!!

Clearly Besotted August Release Teaser #2

August Release – Remember

Teaser Time

I’m back today with a little peek at another of the gorgeous stamp sets being released this month at Clearly Besotted.  The set I’m sharing today is called “Remember” and is simply stunning.  I think this one will be very popular with CB fans!

Remember (pink)

I coloured the poppies with ProMarkers then coated them with my clear Wink of Stella glitter brush pen – it adds just the perfect amount of shimmer {LOVE}.  Be sure to check out Steph’s blog and the rest of the design team for more wonderful inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by.
