Phindy's Place First Anniversary Blog Hop

Wow, this year has flown by and the first anniversary of Phindy's Friday Challenges is already here.  To celebrate, we are having a little blog hop combined with our weekly challenge.

First, the challenge this week is Paper Piecing and this is my card.  The usual prizes are up for grabs so we hope you will create a fine card and enter it in the challenge.  You don't have to use a Phindy image but there are so many fine reasons to use one that I urge you to run right over to the store and pick a few up.  You won't be disappointed and if you do use a Phindy image, you get an extra entry.


Second, as I mentioned we are having a blog hop and you will need to pick up a word at each stop on the blog hop to create a sentence.  The members of the Design Team are not showing their fine paper pieced cards on the challenge blog so you need to go to their fine blogs to get some inspiration and pick up the word they have there.   When you've got the full sentence, please post it in the comments on the challenge blog, which will be hidden until the hop is over.

Here is the order for the Blog Hop and in case you get lost, you start and finish at the Challenge Blog:

There is an extra prize available for the blog hop and you could win a fine $10 Voucher to use at Phindy's Place.  You aren't required to leave comments at each blog, but we'd love it if you would leave some love for the DT! The hop will run until April 29, 2011 at midnight (GMT).

This week, you have THREE chances to win: the blog hop, the random winner of the challenge and the pick of the week. So what are you waiting for?

  19. Hi Cec,
    this is a great card. BP and those butterflies makes this very lively. Of course all those matching colour flowers are giving the card this little bit extra. Cute Little Gardener at work :)
