Tartan Day Blog Hop!!!

Welcome to the Tartan Blog Hop hosted by Gill at http://creationsbygillm.blogspot.com.
Tartan Day is today, April 6th, hence the reason for our blog hop. This is the first time I have ever participated in a hop before, so I'm excited at the thought of meeting lots of new bloggers & hopefully making new friends too.........please join me on my journey & vist my fellow crafters who come from all over the world & have been selected to take part & create a project, or two, with an element of tartan on it!!
Oh and I also have to mention this is a hop with a difference as there is some lovely candy to be won.......keep reading to find out how :D But first onto my projects!!!


Above is my Tartan Day card, which I made using papers from Sharon Duncans cd 'Just Thistles', I also used my Martha Stewart border punch, ribbon & some gems......Hope you like it!


My second project is a candle to match the card, using the same topper from the Sharon Duncan cd once again.
Here is a list of all the participants in todays blog hop, please visit them to view their fabulous projects too :

Back to the Candy........Some of the blogs listed above have a letter on their post, but not all of them, to enter the candy competition, you must gather all the letters together and then assemble them to create a Scottish word......then visit Gills blog & add your name to the Mr Linky at the bottom of her post (Don't reveal the secret word!!). When the hop is over, Gill will email someone from Mr Linky at random & ask for the word. If correct they will win some fabulous candy - SIMPLES!!!
Thanks for visiting - hope you enjoyed my Tartan project, please leave me a comment and also visit Amanda who is No 8 on the list to see her fabulous creations :D

Happy Crafting......and Hopping!!!

    Hiya Ann

    Great projects. I love the purple and lilac colours on the card and the candle is good too. Are you going to burn it? Did you use a heat gun to seal the image onto the candle?

    Keep up the good work.

    Hi Ann, beautiful card, I love the colours, love what you've done with the candle too :-) That bangle looks great. I love the Decopatch papers, I keep looking at them at shows but I think theyr'e expensive! I keep thinking I could use paper napkins but you really don't get them in so many lovely colours and designs :-/
