Lynne's Mad Hatter 60th Birthday Party Hop

Welcome to Lynne's Mad Hatter 60th Birthday Tea Party Blog Hop --- don't be late for this very important date and just to be sure you're not late, we're serving tea for not one day but two!! Watch out for rabbit holes, and those drink me and eat me potions as you must do them in moderation. You'll never know what you will see beyond the looking glass --- sew, sit down a spell and enjoy the talented ladies as we hop along in Wonderland. Warning, watch out for the Queen of Hearts as she is losing in the game of croquet and its off with your heads!!!!!

Rather than cake, crumpetts, tarts and cookies, we have blog candy and I mean some sweet treats that are being offered by our great sponsors:

1. Pat Catan's has donated a $25 gift card for shopping at their store, if there isn't a Pat Catan's in your area, we can transfer that out for you 
2. Karber Digital Images at http://www.karberdigital.com/ has offered 2 digital designs of the winner's choice
3. Digi My World at http://digimyworld.com/shop/ has offered a $10 gift card 
4. SVG Attic at http://www.svgattic.com/ has offered a $20 gift certificate
5. PSA Stamps at www.psastamps.com.blogspot.com has offered a 1 stamper, 2 Peel & Stick packs of winner's choice. MSRP for each package is $55.
6. Creative Kuts has offered a $20 Gift Certificate to http://creativekuts.com/
7. Deborah Marie Foti of http://www.scrappingmamma.net/ will make one of her original birthday cards, Crafty Friends Sentiments Large Sheet by www.gettingcricky.com AND $10 Little Scraps of Heaven Designs Gift Certificate

To be eligible by posting you must comment and post on each stop of our tea party along the way --- now remember to hold your pinky out when drinking your tea --- will that be 1 lump or 2?

If you stopped at my blog to just visit today, I don't want you to miss a single thing along the way and you need to start at the beginning which is two hares by the Cheshire cat who is grinning at you and that darn caterpiller smoking her pipe at http://slasewcraftiness.blogspot.com/!!!

For my second project and since I love to make rosettes, I made a special banner for the birthday girl.

I took the picture before I strung it because it's so hard to get the whole banner once it's strung. I used the SVG Attic file Mad Tea Party Kit for my rosettes and letters.

The adorable teapot and teacup also came from the set.

I used glitter glue for my tea pouring out from the teapot. This is a very special banner since it's heading to a very special lady for her 60th birthday and the fun thing is she can keep it up all year long because we all love tea time anytime.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed your tea and crumpets and your next stop is not Twiddledee and Twiddledum but Katie's blog.

Enjoy the rest of the hop and Hugs from Jearise in Lorby's World.

Love Bug Banners for Kids Hop

Welcome to the “Love Bugs Banners for Kids” Hop.

Forty very talented crafty people have come together for a two day hop (Friday, January 6th and Saturday, January 7th) to showcase handmade banners that will be donated to the children at Pediatric Specialty Care. The hope of these banners is that they bring smiles to these children's faces and awareness of Pediatric Specialty Care to all those that hop along.

The “Love Bugs Banners for Kids” Hop has some awesome sponsors and prizes to give away to all those that hop along and leave comments. The more blogs you visit and leave comments at, the more chances you have of winning. That means if you hop through all 20 blogs each day and leave a comment on each blog then you are in the drawing 40 times!

Our Generous Sponsors are:

Jellypark Digital Stamps will award 2 free digi-images to one winner.

K Andrews Designs has donated a stamp set to one winner.

Robyn's Fetish will donate FIVE digital images of the winner's choice as a prize!

Now on with the hop....If you have come from Edwina's Creations then you are on the right track but if you have come here by chance – great! but please start from the beginning at Ellen - Card Monkey and continue through from there.

I found my images that I printed off on my color printer at Lettering Delights.

I love using Mod Podge or the Martha Stewart decoupage glue on projects because it makes the colors brighter and bolder and the paper more durable for frequent handling.

I just recently read an article that exclaimed that Doilies are the "in" craft thing right now which is good for me since I have always loved using them and have a box full.

I used glitter Mod Podge for the center of my doilie.



Thank you for joining us today on our “Love Bug Banner for Kids” Hop for the children of Pediatric Specialty Care. Please continue on to Lady Luvbug's Blog blog and have a wonderful day.
