Fairy Aailyah - Addicted To Stamps DT & Birthday Blog Hop

Good morning lovely peeps. 

We are all celebrating at

ADDICTED TO STAMPS
as it's our 
2ND BIRTHDAY!!

For the next two weeks we are celebrating with a new challenge and a blog hop.

If you haven't joined in on a blog hop before all you need to do is visit the challenge blog to begin & hop over & visit each member of the DT and leave a comment on each persons blog & the last stop on the hop will be the challenge blog.

Please hop over to the Addicted To Stamps Challenge blog for more details & there you can also see our list of lovely sponsors and their fabulous prizes.

If you are visiting me today on the blog hop and you have arrived on my blog from my lovely friend 

KJERSTI'S BLOG

then you are on the right track, if you have lost you way pop back to the ATSCchallenge blog and the blog hop order is available to see there. 

Our challenge this fortnight is 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY + BLOG HOP

& please add a Birthday greeting to your card 

My card today features a beautiful image drawn by a sweet friend who is also one of our lovely sponsors Bertie or otherwise known as The Fairy from Prairie Fairy.

I have had this beautiful image for so long that I'd forgotten I had her, shame on me as she is soooooo pretty and I loved colouring her, I think she's even cured my mojo problem :)

The copic colours I've used are -

skin - E11, E00, E000, R12, hair - E25, E31, E50, dress - RV93, RV91, V000, wings - BG0000, BV000, V01, V000, B0000, toadstools - W4, W2, W0, flowers - R86, R83, R81. The leaves and grass were a mix of some many greens I didn't note them down

 

 There is lots of sparkle on this card, shame it doesn't show very well in the photo, you can't have a fairy and not make her sparkle lol.

The papers are by Wild Rose Studio, the clay frame and fancy corner were made with Martha Stewart's Crafters Clay, the lace & cheesecloth were from The Ribbon Girl and anything else is in Inlinz, including my pins which can be found in my new Etsy shop. I at last set it up on Friday and already some wonderful ladies have found their way there & bought goodies from my little shop which I have called it the same as my blog :)

This card will be available in my Etsy shop later today and hopefully I will have some more pins ready to go in there too if anyone is interested.

 The next stop on the blog hop is our lovely

MARLIES

 Good luck and thanks for joining us for our 2nd Birthday blog hop, & don't forget in order to win one of the fabulous prizes you need to comment on all the DT's blogs & the Addicted To Stamps Challenge blog.

Thanks for stopping by

GDT Card For Prairie Fairy - Gillian's At The Beach

Hello peeps,

I've had a busy day today, I started off by fighting with blogger this morning! I kept getting a blank page when I went on some blogs, others I could see & could comment on, but the blogs with pop up comments I was just getting a blank page again grrrrrr. I was up nice & early thinking I'd get some blogging done but didn't manage to leave many comments :( Blogger help has lots of people reporting this problem & I did too & was just about to give up & had a brain wave of trying deleting my browsing history & cookies to see if that worked & it did :) all good to go again, so if you are suffering blogger problems give that a try & if you aren't sure how here's quick instructions -
