CMM Halloween Blog Hop!

Good morning everyone, it is finally here; the Card Makin' Mamas Blog Hop!

You should have arrived here from Dee's lovely blog. If you came by this post by accident, you can start hopping at our Challenge Blog! We are all using our own Lizzie's digi's, I believe it's her first attempt and they are gorgeous! Well done honey :)

Here's my card, using Franken Lily:

All Lizzie's digis this time around have to do with Halloween and all things spooky and autumny. And if you join us in our blog hop, you can win these digis! If you leave a comment here, you're in with a chance to win Franken Lily! She's actually a full-size character, I liked her face so much that I zoomed in and only printed some of the digi. Just showing you what a versatile prize this could be! There are several more Lizzie digi's to won along the hop, so really worth participating!

Next stop on the hop is Sara's blog, go and check out her make! Below are all the stops on the hop in the right order. Thanks for visiting my little blog!

New Beginnings: Friendship's Garden Bloghop!

Hello everyone,

Yes, it's time for the first Friendship's Garden Challenge to start and we have appropriately chosen "NEW BEGINNINGS" as our first theme! The additional twist is including a window/aperture on your card as well.

Anyone with a new project that falls within that theme can participate. We welcome any type of paper craft, there is a catch however, no stamps! You can stamp your sentiment if you like, but the main image shouldn't be a stamp or digi. There are plenty of great websites around that list free images, or maybe you have some images at home you'd like to use, or photo's, or......well, you get the gist ;)

To make our first challenge as festive and memorable as possible, we are also hosting a BLOGHOP!!! And there's prizes to win as well! We will be giving away a $20 certificate to Designs on Cloud 9 and a $10 gift certificate to Altered Angel! How generous is that! To get the skinny on how you can increase your chances to win these fabulous prizes, check out the post on the main challenge blog!

If all is well, you should have arrived on my blog from Dena Jones' blog. If you get lost, go back to the Friendship's Garden Main Blog to get back on track, the blog hop starts and ends there! The next teamie to visit is Carolyn LaBille, go forth and give her some love :)

On to my project. For this first challenge I've made a baby card, can't get any newer than that now can you? I made it for a colleague of mine who just gave birth to her first child, a girl. I wanted to make a card that wasn't that obviously girly girly, as the mother isn't like that either.

Materials
* White base card
* Studio Light 3D image and sentiment
* First Edition Hideaway DPs
* Ivory ribbon from stash

Challenges
* Craft Your Passion (Anything Goes + Ribbon)

* Crafty Card Makers (Anything Goes)

* The Kraft Journal (Lavish Layers)

* Paper Creations (Black and/or Orange)

* CES Challenge (Totally Gurjuss/Pretty Girls)

* City Crafter (3D)

* Heart Song Inspirations (Anything Goes)

* Jen's Digi Stamps (Let's Hear it For the Girls)

* My Time To Craft (Nursery Necessities)

* Crazy Amigo (Animals)

Hope you like my card, maybe it inspires some of you to join our first challenge and bloghop!
