I love Kraft!  It would have to be one of my favourite card stocks to create with, and it just seems to never go out of fashion!
This weeks favourite will receive a 10m sample of our Lime Hemp twine!

...Orange and Purple!  This is a bright combo to finish the week on, or so I thought!  Our incredible Guest Designer for this month, Nicole has shown me that it doesn't have to be bright!

Here's Nicole's great creations using one of my favourite sets - All Things Grow!

The corner book mark is a great gift to go with the matching card I think, and Nicole has inspired me to give one a go!
We would love for you to join us this week for our Say It In...Orange and Purple Challenge!

...Green & Red!  Now these colours do remind us of Christmas, but you don't have to follow that theme to play along!  You can combine this challenge with our current sketch for a double shot at the monthly prize as well!!
Christmas is now only just around the corner, and we are reminded everywhere we go with beautiful decorations, and the traditional Christmas Carols and songs playing in the shops.  I must admit that this time of year has always been very special, and I love all that comes with it!
Todays card comes from Ida who has created a beautiful traditional Christmas card for us.  The other DT girls have come up with some great cards as well so be sure to pop on over and leave them some loving lol!  You'll find their links below and in the side bar.

You can combine any of the "Say It.." challenges with the sketch for a double shot lol!, or simply enter them all!!

...Grey and Yellow!  Hello everyone, and welcome to another Friday with AnnaBelle Stamps!  We are celebrating this week with our 1st birthday since we opened our store.  Now this hasn't been the easiest year as we developed and evolved, but we certainly have some very exciting times ahead.  For now I'll just give you a little hint ... Lil' 'Belles ... you'll be seeing these not too far into the future!
To celebrate our birthday we have a little surprise for someone, a $20.00 gift voucher to spend in store!  To win simply follow our little blog hop and leave a comment along the way.  A random winner will be chosen and announced next Friday :)

Todays spotlight card is from Tiffany who has just arrived home from a fabulous Summer vacation!  We are still shivering here, so we're very much looking forward to Spring warming up!
To play along simply use the colour theme and add your link below.


So let's begin the blog hop!  Start by leaving a comment here, then head on over to my blog....Andrea


See you there!

Say It In...

..Cream!  I remember when we had the "Say It In..White" challenge that a lot of people were unsure about how they would go about it until they started, and I think it's the same with cream.  You can have different textures of cream cardstock, embossing and ribbon, and before you know it you have a beautiful cream card!  When you see my card though you'll wonder where the cream is, but I started with one thought and then had to go with it!

Todays card is from Ida, and she's used some beautiful cream elements on hers. Check her blog out for full details :)
You also still have time to join in with our sketch challenge.  All our sketch challenges have a prize, so if your new to our blog be sure to check the current one out HERE!  I did have an email asking for clarification on the stamps that can be used, and to clear that up they can be from any other company as long as you use a stamp and add the all important bling! 
Have a wonderfully creative week and I'll catch up with you when you post your projects :)
Happy stamping everyone...hugs,
Andrea

Say It In...

...Chocolate and Orange!  A great combination of colours don't you think?  I could use this combo for lots of different occasions, but when it was suggested for a Christmas card I was not certain, but I made one any way!
Our card in the spotlight this week is from Michelle, and I think she did a great job with this challenge.  What do you think?  She was a little unsure so be sure to leave her a comment :)

You can find all the DT links in the side panel, so be sure to check out all their creations.  Remember to link your challenge card below so we can come and take a look :)

Happy stamping everyone,

Andrea
