Lily Pad Cards 1st Birthday Blog Hop!

Hello!  Welcome to the Lily Pad Cards First Birthday Blog Hop!  You should be joining us from Elizabeta's blog Cards by Eli.  As a past Guest Designer, I was so excited to get an invitation from Deborah to participate in this very big celebration!

There are three prize packages with a total retail value of over $300!  Very cool, huh?  These prizes will be awarded by random draw.  There are two ways to be eligible for the prize drawings. You can "like" us on Facebook but if you do not have a Facebook account, you can also be eligible for the drawings by leaving a comment on the Lily Pad blog.  To better your chances even more, leave comments on the blogs participating in the hop (including this one!)  For each comment you leave, you'll get your name entered again! (but only one comment per blog, please).
This blog hop will last for 1 week.  That means you can leave comments for a chance to win prizes until 12:00 p.m. EST on Sunday, April 8.

Here's the card I created to wish everyone at the Pad a very Happy 1st Birthday!

I've included closeups to show some of the details of the card.
I chose to use a shabby/vintage style for this card.  It's one of the many styles I enjoy creating (as you'll see, if you scroll through my blog)!

My supply list for this card:

card stock: naturals ivory (Stampin' Up!)

patterned paper: lost & found portabello road 6 x6 pad (My Mind's Eye)

stamps: postmarks, birthdays by the numbers (Papertrey Ink)

die: love lives here (Papertrey Ink)

other: kraft twill, kraft felt (Papertrey Ink), vintage buttons and trim (from an estate aution), scor-tape, thread, sewing machine

Thanks for stopping by!  The next stop on the hop is Tara's blog Inking on the Edge.  If you hit a bad link, you can always go back to Lily Pad to view the master list of blog links.  Please report any bad links to aris@inlinkz.com.

Happy Hopping!!!
