My Lovely Friends!

I'm a few minutes ahead of time as I have stuff to do!
***The Hop Starts @ 9.00am***
Good morning bloggers & welcome to the first ever 

Crafting Cafe Blog Hop!
The Crafting Cafe is a friendly group of crafters over on 
facebook who share their crafting journey together.
Feel free to pop over & join us if you'd like to! 
No need to be shy we are a very friendly bunch!
Click on the badge to go there!
Feel free to take the badge for your blog too!
If you started at the beginning of the hop, you'll have made
it over here from the lovely Emma's blog.
If you've just stopped by & found out about the hop,
pop on over to the lovely & very talented Nikki's blog.
That's where the hop begins!
You won't want to miss out any of the amazing creations along the way!
Being such a friendly group, what other than
"Friendship"
could possibly be the theme of the hop!
Here's my card!
I made a simple little A6 Gatefold card
The image I have used is Shelley Sheep & Twitter, a digi stamp
from The Crafty Pad Designs.
I have coloured it up using flexmarkers & promarkers
then added some Woodware Fluffy Stuff
which you heat emboss to puff it up!
The sentiment is part of the image but I cut it off & made two little panels
I think you'll agree the image & sentiment are simply perfect for the theme!
The card was made using mainly scraps.
My design paper was a single 6x6 sheet which was part of a 
candy I won ages ago & I'm sorry but I have 
no idea where it's from! I really wish I did as I love it!
The ribbon & pearls were from my stash!
I like to decorate the inside of my cards a little just to balance things!
As I was using up some scraps, the lilac card on the inside
is a different texture to the one on the outside.
To celebrate the hop & as I have made so many friends through blogging
as well as in the facebook group, I would like to offer a little surprise candy to
one lucky commenter. Not sure how I'll pick just yet but
I will announce the winner on Friday 6th July!
Make sure you stop back to check if you're the lucky winner.
So, the time has come for you to hop on!
Sorry if I've bored you! lol
The next stop is the lovely Lisa
I'm sure you'll find something awesome waiting there for you!

xx Happy Hopping xx
