Challenge time again over at Die Cut Dreams, but this challenge is a little bit special as we're also having a Blog Hop! Susie at DCD has just moved house and the shop was closed for a while while she got organised again.  Now she's all moved in and settled, so we thought we would have a blog hop to celebrate the opening of DCD store again and also we've just passed our 700th follower.

We have a recipe for you to follow for this challenge and the theme is

Recipe 2 Brads, 3 Gems, 4 Flowers
Now you must visit each of the Design Team blogs and leave a comment on each one because along the way there will be some surprise candy - BUT you won't know whose blog the candy is on until after the blog hop and you wouldn't want to miss out now would you??

The main prize for the BLOG HOP is:
"A Pizza Box full of Mixed Theme & Mixed Shape Die cut Dreams Designer Die cuts worth over £25 !!!"
We would love for you to enter the challenge and complete the blog hop but if you only do the hop then that's fine too.  There will be a separate prize for the challenge so if you do both, and leave a comment on each of the DT's posts who knows how many times you could win!!

 It's time for challenge #90 over on I ♥ ProMarkers and the theme for this one is 'Glitter & Glitz!  Perfect for a Christmas card, don't you think?  This is my first card for almost 3 weeks, due to going off on my holidays....... lol.
Our sponsor this week is the lovely Joanna Sheen and the prize if a £10 gift voucher to spend in their online store.
Here's my DT card.
 I used one of the new Christmas stamps from Lili of the Valley, they're all so gorgeous it's hard to choose which to get.  I used FlexMarkers to colour this image, love them!  The lace strip was cut from a MS punch which I bought in Florida, the starts were cut with another punch, to which I added some silver sparkle glitter from Debbi Moore Designs.  The papers are from a pack I bought last year from Craft House and it's called Winter Wonderland.  They're lovely pearly papers too.  The sentiment is a digi by Lynne at Crafts 4 You

I'm also entering this card into the challenge over on Lili of the Valley, where you have to follow a lovely sketch by Bev.   I very rarely enter challenges now due to lack of time, but if I use a LOTV stamp I always look to see if it fits there present challenge theme.
