BUGABOO'S SECOND BIRTHDAY BLOG HOP

 
My sincere apologies to those of you who tried to find this post yesterday on the blog hop.  My internet and home phone l;andlines went down yesterday 45 minutes before the hop was due to start and were down for 22 hours.

So anyway - here it is ...
HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY TO BUGABOO!  

You should have arrived here from Lynda’s blog
 If not, make sure you start at the Bug Blog here.

So, to celebrate Bugaboo’s 2nd Birthday, not only are we doing this fun blog hop, but we’ve got a great Birthday Themed challenge for you today!


I used the image, AKV Birthday - Party, and coloured the image using my Copics, and a white gel pen for the highlights. The DP is birthday balloons paper, just an offcut off a previous project.  As embellies I used a "Happy Birthday" sentiment strip, a cute cupcake, a diecut circle, some black gems and a yummy flower.
Play along with us this week and you have the chance to win a digi prize pack- 7 free images for 1st (using a Bugaboo Image), 4 free images for 2nd and 2 for 3rd

EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT: We will also be having daily challenges starting on Monday! 
Here's a list of the challenges - 
 Monday: Mini-Challenge: In 2’s – Include TWO of something on your project

Tuesday: Mini-Challenge: New Release & A Bow – Use the New Release and add a Bow

Wednesday: Mini-Challenge: Bugaboo Favorites!!  BLING & Primary Colors

Thursday: Mini-Challenge: Sketch Challenge –Use the sketch you will find back at the Catch the Bug Blog on Thursday.


Friday: Mini-Challenge: Friday Freebie + 3 Printed Papers –Use the Friday Freebie and 3 Printed Papers
Would you like to know what’s up for grabs for the hop and for the challenges?

The Grand Prize Winner who completes the blog hop, plays along with the regular challenge (Saturday’s Challenge) and ALL the mini challenges will get 1 free set per month for all of 2012.
