Happy Birthday Blog Hop!

Hi, welcome to my blog! 

I have been running the Clear it out Challenge Blog for a little over 2 1/2 years (I carried it on when the original creator wanted to close it down) 
 I have enjoyed this journey so far, meeting lots of lovely people both DT and participants. I appreciate all the comments you leave me here and on the C.I.O blog, and I'm so happy you are here celebrating our blogiversary :)

Here is the blog hop order and if you get lost you can always go back to the Clear it out blog to find your way.

Clear it out challenge blog



For my card I have chosen to use an image from the sponsor MelJen's


I love Melissa's designs. They were one of the first digis I used as I learned to colour.  Here is my card with some bling!

The picture doesn't do it justice as the colours are in fact; pale yellow, grey, and light teal. Unfortunately I have a little guy fascinated with my camera and often chooses to change my settings :(

So...want to know what you can win? It's a 8x10 envelope filled with crafty stuff.
Like what? How about some dies, embossing folder, and whatever else I can stuff in there? I'm pretty sure I'm at about $40 and I haven't filled it yet. If you are chosen and you do not live in North America I will give you a $10 Gift Certificate to the sponsor of your choice (must be a past/present sponsor of the Clear it out Blog) 

To win, leave me a comment and tell me what your favourite die is. I'm in love with the heart die from La La Land, it's tooooo cute!

    Thank you for the blog hop - your little prize package sounds awesome! If I had to choose my favourite die, it would be the die I used most often: Poppy Stamps Curious Cat. It's a perfect little die cut for a cat fanatic like me LOL. Wishing you a joyful day!
