Amy Tan Daybook-for Penny

So it has been WAY too long since I last blogged!!! As some of my close crafty friends know I am trying to get my own laptop and broadband sorted :( it's taking longer than I hoped....

Anyway today I am sharing my Amy Tan daybook dedicated to my lil chihuahua Penny: I used LOTS of yummy washi tape from my lil collection....

 This is the cover :)

 I used rub ons and washi and lots of alphas and of course pics of pretty penny.....

 This film roll washi is one of my faves.....

 I LOVE layering the washi tape to bring out the colours in the papers and photos....

 The washi helps to tie all the pages together.......

Hope you enjoyed this little share....

Thanks for visiting!!

Welcome to By The Cute and Girly's 3rd Birthday blog hop celebratios!

SCROLL DOWN FOR BLOG HOP

If you have came here from Celine's blog then you are on the right track, if not, you will want to start from the beginning at  Lora's blog.

The design team have all been busy making something to celebrate our 3rd birthday and we would love for you to visit us all to see what we made.

The blog hop rules are very simple, all you have to do is visit each of the design team members blogs and leave a comment on each one, then finish up at our challenge blog and leave a comment there to let us know you have finished the hop. 

Your name will then be put in a draw to win one of the blog hop prizes.

If you also enter our challenge this month, you will also be put in the draw to win one of challenge prizes.

You have the whole month to enter and you can enter the challenge as much times as you like, as long as each entry is a different craft eg: 1 card, 1 scrap page, 1 altered item, 1 knitted item etc.

And as always, you can enter with any craft you like, from paper craft to baking and everything in between. If you made it yourself then you can enter is, it's as easy as that :)

The theme is "Birthdays" so it's a nice easy challenge and we have lots of prizes up for grabs from some great sponsors! Please check out the challenge blog to see all the prizes we have to give away!

Each design team member is featuring a different sponsor today, so you will see images or other products from a different sponsor being used on each of the dt blogs. We also have other sponsors on the challenge blog, so there really is lots of prizes to be won :)

The sponsor I am featuring is My Grafico

Here is my Birthday card using My Grafico Funky Jars digi set-which you can buy HERE

The next stop is Tammy's Blog

Remember to leave a comment on this post and on all the other design team members blog hop post for a chance to win one of the prizes. Then leave a comment on the challenge blog post to let us know you are finished the hop and your name will go into the prize draw.
