SIR STAMPALOT CHALLENGE AND BLOG HOP

Well the special day has arrived and you may be visiting here because you are taking part in the "Special Challenge" and "Blog Hop" that is being sponsored by Sir Stampalot to celebrate their re-location into larger premises in Peterborough.

But ..... if all of this is news to you then it might be best if you start off your excitement by visiting Brenda's blog as she will be explaining how all of this is going to work and she will also let you know of all the exciting prizes that are on offer.. .. .. .. .. and how you can win them!!!!

There is an awesome prize on offer for the challenge winner and to win this all you need to do is create a project on the theme of "moving" - you also need to do a little bit of linking too but Brenda is explaining all of that to you on her blog.

Below is what I have created in the hope of giving you a little inspiration. My little truck is attached with a spring so that if you "flick it" it looks like it is "moving" from the small store to the much larger one!!!



So, creating a project could result in you winning this fantastic prize




Shame I volunteered to help Brenda with this challenge. It means I can't win it now!!!! LOL!!!

Don't link your creation to my post though as it won't count .. .. ..
you need to use Mr Linky on Brenda's blog here.


So that is the first part of the excitement.

Separate to the "creating a project challenge" there is also the blog hop which involves prizes galore too and this post is part of the blog hop.

You should have arrived here after collecting a letter from Chris.


My special letter is

"D"

and the next letter can be collected by visiting my teamie Clare

Before you rush over to Clare though make sure you leave me a comment at the bottom of this post so you can be entered into the draw for even more prizes.

Oh .. .. it is like Christmas all over again!!!!


This challenge and blog hop will run for two weeks closing at midnight GMT on 13th February 2010 and all prize winners will be announced on Sunday 14th February 2010.

Feel free to enter the challenge wherever you live - the fun is being shared worldwide.
You can also submit your challenge creation into other challenges - but please do not back link to older work - it needs to be a "new creation".

THIS POST HAS BEEN PINNED UNTIL THE END OF THE EXCITEMENT.
PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE WHAT ELSE I HAVE BEEN UP TO!!


Love Jules xx

  105. Your card is such fun! I love that you have made it specifically with Sirstampalot in mind. 99% of my cards are made with the recipient in mind and I think the fact that I don't know anyone who is moving is what made it so hard for me to be creative for this challenge in spite of the lovely inspiration on offer from the team. Warmest wishes, Lesley

    ReplyDelete
  106. Jules, what a great idea to leave a (heart) on everything you do! Why didn't I think of that? I just love blog hops. YOu ladies are so-o-o creative!! Just love the sample you made. With a few adjustments it would make a cute page for a new baby's trip home from the hospital!!
    Thanks for the inspiration!
