Isabella's Blog Hop & Anything Goes Challenge

This is an exciting week at Isabella's Sketchbook Challenge.  First the challenge for this week is an Anything Goes challenge so you can make any kind of card that you wish but do remember that it must feature an image from Isabella's Sketchbook.  If you don't have one of her images, you can either hop over to her store and pick one of her wonderful digital images up or you can join our blog hop for a chance to win one of her images.  I would recommend that you do both:)

The Design Team is having our first ever blog hop using a special image designed by Isabella for the hop.  Once you have finished reading about the hop, scroll down and check out my card with this lovely new image.

This is a "circular blog hop" where the beginning is wherever you start!!  You will know you are at the end of the blog hop when you've come back to the blog you've started from!

There will be NINE winners who will be chosen at random from comments left on the Design Team blogs.  None of us on the Design Team will know who the winners are until the hop is over so we are going to be as anxious to find out as you will.  The hop will be open until Friday, July 2nd at 8pm and the winners  will be announced on Saturday.

Have fun and enjoy the hop! Your next hop is over to Diana's blog.  Make sure you keep hopping and leaving comments along the way (the more comments, the more chance of winning) until you've come back to where you started! 

And now my card:


I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Craft Catz - Let's Go Digital
Sew Many Challenges - Anything Goes

The image from Isabella's Sketchbook is called Faith-Lemons and has been coloured with Prismacolor and Koh-I-Noor pencil crayons.  The double-sided paper is appropriately called Lemon Meringue Pie from Basic Grey and the card stock is Recollections (Michaels).  Other supplies used:  Chalk (Mungyo), Lace (Wrights), Ribbon (my stash), Butterfly Punch (Martha Stewart) and Pearl Stickers (Recollections from Michaels).
