Good luck!
Here is a list of the designers participating in this hop:
I decided to make an anniversary card with this cute image…
…and also some matching 'his and hers' gift tags
I usually tend to use the Lili of the Valley children rather than the animals but I really like this adorable pair and I enjoyed making these.
For your information here’s what I used; Core’dinations card, Doo Hickey and Spellbinders dies, Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils, ribbons and flowers from The Ribbon Girl, Maja Design backing papers, Tim Holtz music tissue strip, Stickles stardust
I hope you like my post today and have enjoyed the blog hop, don’t forget to leave a comment for all the designers to be in with a chance of the prize.
I feel very fortunate to be part of Lili of the Valley and to work with such a talented bunch of girls. I’d love you to follow my blog and visit regularly, I’m going to try and post something new every day and there will be plenty of ideas, tips and candy.
Bye for now
