My kind of challenge!

Hello there!

How are you today? I hope you've had a lovely week!

This week we have a fabulous challenge for you over at Sweet Stampin.....a challenge that was right up my street and I thoroughly enjoyed preparing for! Anyone who has popped by my blog before might have noticed a couple of things that I love - afternoon tea, girly things, the colour purple and the colour pink! My favourite kind of card is a girly card and this week's challenge really allowed me to embrace my girly side!

This week we would like to see your projects featuring hats, heels or handbags! I opted to use an old favourite sentiment for this card...I used to use this one all the time and I thought it was perfect for this challenge:

What do you think??

Hee, hee! Do you think I could conquer the world in those shoes??

My shoes are stamped onto the pink and white polka dot paper and then cut out. I have used a combination of patterned and plain papers in pink and purple for the background and I have finished the card with my sentiment.

For more inspiration pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog and take a peek at all the gorgeous DT cards that Team Abi have created this week! While you're there you can read all about our lovely sponsor this week......

So, a little while ago do you remember me talking about the UK Blog Awards? My afternoon tea blog was shortlisted in the Food and Drink category and in late April we were invited to attend a fancy awards ceremony! It was such a fun night, complete with Oscar statues and red carpet! Unfortunately we didn't win in our category, but we are still amazed that we were finalists and would like to say a HUGE thank everyone who has supported us and read about our afternoon tea adventures!

We may not have won an award on the night......but we did find some cake to enjoy!

Thank you for popping by today,

A Little Favour Please....

Hello there,

I hope you are well and are ready for your Christmas celebrations.

This is a slightly different post from me today, as its a request for a vote from you! If you have stopped by hear below you will know that I also run a little afternoon tea blog with my sister Lorna which is called Tea With Me and Friends.



Afternoon Tea Treats!

On the blog you can read reviews of afternoon teas we've enjoyed, see afternoon teas we have created and drool over lots of scrummy photos of cakes! Take a peek here if you haven't seen it yet!

One of our favourite afternoon teas of 2013

Anyway, we have entered our little afternoon tea blog in the UK Blog Awards 2014, which we are a tad bit excited about! The awards will be judged by an official panel early next year...but to get to that stage we need a successful public vote....and that's where you come in! I'd really appreciate your support....if you are able to vote for us you just need to click on the link below and leave your name and email address.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post....I know there isn't a card in sight!

I'd also like to wish you a very Merry Christmas!

 

Best wishes,
