Stamper’s United Blog Hop…
Hello again! A group of us got together and thought it would be fun to introduce you to new stampers, their different styles and blogs. Perhaps you’ll find an exciting new artist that you would like to visit again? We are called Stampers United and today we are having a Blog Hop. You will be visiting new blogs and there are prizes along the way with a fabulous Grand Prize at the end.
In order to have a chance of winning the Grand Prize, you must gather a phrase along the Blog Hop. Each stamper will have a particular word listed on their blog and as long as you visit them in order, you will have the phrase at the end. The blog hop will end on September 26th. Claudia will pick the Grand Prize winner and announce the winner on her blog on Monday 28th September. Once you have been contacted, Claudia will ask you for the phrase. If you get it right, you will win the prize. If not, a second person will be contacted until the phrase is correct.
To start off, you must begin at the STAMPERS UNITED BLOG. If you have not started there, I suggest you go back and begin again….you really don’t want to miss out on the fabulous Grand Prize! If you have arrived on my blog from Broni, then you are going in the right order!
Here’s the card I’ve made for the SU Blog Hop…we decided on a holiday theme…any holiday…so I’ve chosen Christmas! It’s another Sugar Nellie Manga Christmas stamp….and I have a matching stamp in my personal blog candy……see below 
…and here is MY BLOG CANDY. I will announce the winner of ‘my’ candy on Monday 28th September
So…on with the blog hop information! My word in the phrase is … and the next word that you need can be found over at Claudia’s Pretty Pressings blog. We hope that you are enjoying this special Blog Hop and that you are finding something new along the way. Thanks for joining us today!
With love on your birthday…
We’ve got another fun theme for you this week at Penny Black Saturday Challenge…lace and pearls Thanks to everyone for joining us in our sketch challenge…we had some wonderful entries as always. The design team have made some fab cards for you…just click here to see their creations
Well…my card isn’t exactly the traditional vintage lace and pearls colours that you might expect. I’ve gone for a bright, modern look. I used Stampin Up papers and some gorgeous lace ribbon and green pearls from Quixotic Paperie. I’ve paper pieced the balloons just for something different.
Before I go…I thought I’d show you a peek of some new stamps by Gillian Roberts that have arrived at Quixotic Paperie…I just couldn’t resist the snowman and the penguin! You’ll find the complete range listed in the new products section.
…and theres also a whole load of Prima say it in Pearls…how gorgeous are these?
I’ll be back later today with the Stampers United Blog Hop.
