Wednesday, April 13, 2011 0 comments
Welcome to the very first Polkadot Door Inspirational Challenge and Blog Hop! We're thrilled you are able to join us. Be sure to read the entire post, there is so much good stuff waiting for you. We have the bloghop details posted first, followed by the Inspiration Challenge details. Don't miss anything!


Each month we want to showcase some very talented ladies. For our first blog hop we have been honoured to have a fabulous team of crafty geniuses join us. We gave them some inspiration and they created. This is one blog hop you do not want to miss. The inspiration is outstanding! Starting with the Polkadot Door be sure to work your way through the blogs and see what the design team created.

As you hop be sure to leave a comment on every blog and head back here once you are done. Leave a comment on the Polkadot Door to let us know you completed the blog hop and tell us who your favourite designer was because by doing so you are eligible to win this adorable American Crafts acrylic stamp set and ink!

But that is not all. One lucky bloghop participant will also win this incredible kit from our very generous sponsor, Apron Strings Kit Club. To be eligible, be sure to leave a comment on every blog, including this one. We will post the winners on the 16th, so be sure to check back!
