Easter blog hop at Crafty ribbons

Good morning people! What's the weather over there? I really hope you have more sun and warmer days than we do here. We got more snow (again! :S) at the beginning of the week and the temperatures are really low too. So much for spring! :S If only Easter would be nice and sunny ... But it doesn't look like that will happen. The weathermen said we'll be getting rain, rain and more rain over the weekend and for Easter. *sigh*

To shoo the thoughts of winter away and to brighten your day a bit, we are having an Easter blog hop at Crafty ribbons inspiration blog with a lot of fabby prizes and wonderful springy/Easter projects by DT. Trust me, you really want to participate in this hop. ;)

But before I show you what I made for the hop, I also want to remind you today also started a new challenge at Crafty ribbons challenge blog and it's a VERY easy one - the theme is "anything goes with ribbon". I hope you will come and play with us. :) For the challenge winner we have this great prize ...

Now, let me show you the card I made for the blog hop ...

I used a lovely stamp from Viva decor as my main image. I colored it with Promarkers and then I also added some Rayher glitter glue on it. The butterflies are cut from Artsy collage Nature collage kit and I added some glitters on their wings too. The blue paper I used on this card is from the same kit as well. The pink paper is from my stash and the brown paper is a recycled wrapping paper which I embossed with Cart us flower embossing folder. The pearls are from my stash. The circle and scalloped circle are made with my Spellbinders dies. I also used my border punch. Pearls are from my stash and ribbons are from Crafty ribbons. Unfortunately both ribbons I used on this card are currently out of stock (no wonder, because they are gorgeous!), but you might find the yellow one in Bev's bag and the flowery one could be in the jam pots.

I would like to enter my card to the following challenges:
Sweet stampin': Lots of layers
Crafty boots: Flowers
Pin and tack: Anything goes
I love Promarkers: Spring is in the air
Paper crafting journey: Ribbon or lace
Inky impressions: Easter or spring
House of Gilli: Anything goes with flowers and/or ribbon
My mum's craft shop: Spring has sprung

Now onto the rules of the hop ...

The rules are really simple ... You start at the Crafty ribbons inspiration blog. There you will find the list of all  blogs that are participating in the hop (we have some very talented ladies from LOTV joining the hop too - how exciting is the?!) and you will need to stop by their blogs too. At each blog (including the inspiration blog) you will find one word. You need to collect all the words and then make a sentence with them. Once you make the sentence, you should leave it in a comment at the inspiration blog. And if you get lost along the way, just hop back to the inspiration blog and check the list. All of you who will collect all the words and leave the right answer/sentence at the inspiration blog will go into the draw for two wonderful prizes ...

One person will win a whole bunch of gorgeous ribbons from Crafty ribbons.

And the other person will win a £20 voucher for the LOTV store.

But wait, that's not all!!! Each DT member will have a yummy ribbon candy for you too! Here's what you can win at my blog ...

I hope you like these ribbons. If you want to win them you just need to add your name with Mr. Linky and leave a comment on this post. It can't get any easier than this, can it? ;) I will post the winner here on April 3.

You should have arrived here from Carol's blog. If you haven't, go back to the inspiration blog. I'm sure you don't want to miss any stop. ;) Before I go, I should tell you what word is "hidden here". ;)

My word is BEAUTIFUL.

Now hop over to Tessa and Anke's blog to see what they created for the hop, to get the next word and to see what yummy candy they have for you. ;)

Hugs! xx
