I am sooo excited today to participate in my very first blog hop! Divas by Design are celebrating their 3rd birthday today (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!), and we - the Design Team members - were asked to participate in a special birthday blog hop. How cool is that?!
You should have come here from Andie's blog (and oh boy is her creation cute!), next on your list is going to be Aunty Sue (oh yeah, some cuteness over there, too!).
Now, on to the card, the challenge information and... a surprise!
The challenge this week is the always very popular Anything goes. Please join us in the celebrations and participate, we can't wait to see your creations! As you will see from the information over at Divas, this week there's a prize to be won not only on the main challenge blog, but you are actually also in a chance to win something on each of our blogs! All you need to do is to leave a comment (one comment per person per blog, please!) on as many blogs participating in the hop as you want to (I would encourage you to try your luck on all of them! I know I would do so!), and... keep your fingers crossed :o)
My prize for the winner on my blog is the card I have created for this week's challenge, and... a small candy! Please leave a comment under this post if you want to be in a chance of winning the card, and if you want to get the candy also - I would appreciate if you could also follow my blog, in addition to leaving the comment.
I have actually made 2 cards this time, both very similar... One is going to be sent to my beloved Godmother for her birthday, and the other one could be yours! The winner gets the chance to choose which of the 2 cards they want.* I can send the card blank, can stamp/print a sentiment/message inside the card, or write a few words inside the card - I will agree on the details with the winner...
The die cut shape is a Marianne Design Creatables Die - Butterfly 3 - LR0115
The papers come from the Prima Marketing collection: Sunrise Sunset 12x12
And here's a photo of the candy - Whiff of Joy stamps, some ribbon, pink "Baby" confetti & little sparkly cupcake toppers:
I hope you like my butterfly creations, the blog hop and the prizes. Now get commenting, following, and hopping! Next stop - Aunty Sue. Have fun!
Have a great day,
I am entering the cards into the following challenges:
Inky Chicks - Butterflies
A gem of a challenge - Ribbon and lace
Have a great day,
Mirella
* Sorry, Peeps, I only realised now that I have to post the card to my Godmother this Monday already, hence you won't be able to choose the card, but you will still have the chance to decide how you want me to finish the card!
