Paper Sundaes 1st Birthday Celebration Challenge & Blog Hop

I'm so excited that it's Paper Sundaes First Birthday Celebration!!  To celebrate we are having a super fun blog hop with some amazing prices and some DT members may even be offering candy along the way so make sure you stop by, say hi & leave them some love!  We wouldn't be celebrating our first Birthday if it wasn't for you playing along with us so a big THANK YOU to all of you!

If you have arrived here from Danielle's blog then you are on the right track!  If not please head back to Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog so you can start at the beginning and make sure you don't miss out on any of the amazing DT creations (or some yummy candy)!   Remember the rules for the hop!!!  Be sure to collect your word and comment at each stop along your way to so that you qualify for our SIX amazing blog hop prizes!  Your last stop is back at Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog where you can leave the sentence you collected along the way in the comments section for your chance to win even more!!  How great is that??

Now, in addition to the blog hop our challenge this week is extra special!!  We would like you to show us your favourite challenge from the past year.  To celebrate this challenge we will have five different prizes for FIVE randomly drawn winners!

For my card this week I chose to use Challenge #23 Pretty as a Princess!  Who doesn't love making girly type cards?  For this challenge originally posted June 20th we asked participants to show us your girliest cards.  I picked this challenge because I received an amazing new stamp called Make a Wish by Sugar Nellie (another one of our FAB SPONSORS) that my friend Sandy picked up for me when he went back to Scotland recently!  To me she looks just like a little fairy princess!

Isn't she just fabulous?  I love the glittery DP by Best Creations Inc that I used for the background too.   All other paper is Bazill cardstock and the purple background was embossed with my swiss dots cuttlebug folder.  I used a fabulous Die-namics die by MFT which must be so popular as it sells out so quickly!   The image was coloured with copics & spica glitter pens and I even tried something new (which just happens to be another Paper Sundaes Challenge from last year)!  I tried the "out of the box" nestie cutting which was much easier than I thought so I know I'll be doing this again!  I popped up the centre with pop-up dots & added some ribbon, pearls and a sentiment to complete.  

I know this has been a long post so thank you for hanging around as I'm also offering some small candy (Spesch Designer Stamps - Samantha & Penny) to a random commenter that I will announce next Sunday with my regular Paper Sundaes post so be sure to check back with me then.  

Next stop on you blog hop is Alica and your word from me is:  THE

HAVE FUN!!
