A DAY FOR DAISIES - OUR FIRST EVER BLOG HOP



The blog hop will start and end at the A DAY FOR DAISIES blog, and continue in this order:

Candy
Cat
Jen - that's me (and where you are right now)
Lisa
sherryann
Vera
Arielle

Then back to ADFD!

"If you came from Cat's blog you're in the right place!

To start at the beginning go to A Day For Daisies."

Now, all that being said ... why are you here?

First of all, you are taking part in our first ever blog hop - and YOU are part of history in the making.

Then today is also the start of a new challenge .... VINTAGE ....

And then, it being Friday, we have NEW RELEASE DAY!!! The new releases are some fabulous vintage images, just perfect for you to use for the challenge.







And this is my card, made from one of the images in the collection (can you spot which one?) ...



Next you'll go visit Lisa's blog!

You have one week to complete the blog hop, remember to leave a comment on each of the Design Team member's blogs, and at your last stop on the ADFD blog, let us know that you have completed the hop.

Next Friday (25 February)we'll choose a random winner to win one set from the release.

Now isn't that fun ? Please remember to leave a comment to be eligible for the prize draw.

Love and Hugs from a hot and humid Durban, South Africa .....
