Craft Your Passion Blog Hop!

Oh wow! It was so nice to be asked to join in the fun over at
 Craft Your Passion, I do miss the girls after being on their DT for 14 months....it has taken me a few weeks getting used to not posting on a Monday morning!

Welcome to Craft Your Passion Challenges VERY FIRST  "Anything Goes" Blog Hop!!
We are very excited about all the changes our blog has gone through in the last couple of months and wanted to throw a party. What better way to do that, than to have a BLOG HOP!!!
Each designer along the way is featuring a project that showcases a digital image from at least one of our amazing Blog Hop Sponsors.
What’s more exciting is you can participate too by creating a project and linking it up over at Craft Your Passion Challenges for a chance to win one of several prizes.

But, there’s a twist. Be sure to visit all the stops and leave a comment. Once you have finished the hop we would like you to create a project using at least one digital stamp and enter it with our Linky tool.

While you are hopping, be sure to check out the blog candy the designer's have to offer you. You don't want to miss out on any of it!


 
I know one of the sponsors is Bugaboo, because I was kindly given two images to play with!! Deacon Bugs & Deacon Rain...they are both fab & so nice to colour!!
Here's my first Deacon Bugs
I have added chalk dirty patches & punched out bugs to make
 it a bit more grubby!! lol
