Anyone For Anya? - Birthday Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to the Anyone for Anya? Birthday Blog Hop. The AFA? Blog is one year old and we are celebrating!! If you've come here from Sabina's blog then you are on the right track, if not you need to start back at Carisa's blog and follow the hop.

Each of the team are offering a little candy on their blogs but you must enter our challenge this week to be eligible to win any of the prizes. Once you have entered the challenge just leave your name below and I will pick my winner next Saturday @10pm GMT.

For my card I used a cute digi called Cupcake Anya. She is coloured using copic markers and i've added Star Dust stickles in various places around the card. I love sparkle!! lol. 

The papers are from K&Company's classic collection. I made the corners by cutting a 2" square diagonally and then punching them with my MS Cornice punch. My sentiment is a Studio G. The little pearls and lace are from my stash - I really wish I could remember where I got the beautiful lace as this was my very last piece :'( and I neeeeeeeeeeeed to get some more!!

Now, on to the sweet stuff... I have put together a selection of 6x6 papers from Basic Grey & Making Memories and some delicious Wild Ochid Crafts flowers. I will aslo add a selection of 10 stamped Greeting Farm images (not in pic) - the winner can email me to say if they use watercolours or copics/promarkers so that I can use the right card and ink :)

Your next, and final, stop along this hop is Yvonne 

 Thanks so much for hopping with us today. Good luck with the candy draws and we are looking forward to seeing all your wondeful entries.

Have a wonderful Sunday

PaperPlay Challenges - Pink Pink Pink

I'm baaaack!! lol. I survived the camping trip of Murphy's Law and am now safely back home. We had a great time even with all the hiccups we had to contend with. My mojo is a little slow about disembarking from the ship but I'm gently coaxing it home.... ;)

This week on PaperPlay Challenges our theme is quite simply PINK! We want to see all things pink on your creations. 

We are being sponsored by Bunny Zoe Crafts and the prize is a $15 store voucher. 

I am having a little girly get together for my daughter and her friends before they start school in Sept and yesterday we made invitations to send out.

I used the wonderful Afternoon Tea stamp set from Waltzing Mouse Stamps for both the sentiment and the tea pot. The tea pot has been paper pieced. The stamped border is also by Waltzing Mouse, from the Victorian Frippery set.  I based my invitations on the Waltzing Mouse sketch this week


My K & Company papers are from Crafty Alley's August kit and they have been inked with Victorian Velvet distress ink.

The lace and pearls are from my stash. 

Thanks for popping by today. Be sure to check out the rest of the DT's wonderful PINK creations on the PaperPlay Challenges blog. Have a wonderful day and happy crafting!!
