Its our Blog-iversary!
We're so excited to be celebrating 2 years on the web, and in the spirit of celebration, we are having a bloghop where you'll find lots of prizes and inspiration along the way. Hurrah!
A bloghop on the Polkadot Door wouldn't be complete without an inspiration challenge. We asked each one of some of our favourite friends throughout the world to create a project based on the above inspiration challenge.
Here's what Rebecca created using the Inspiration as a starting place.
• Plus, there's a chance to play along with us! Use the inspiration we gathered,
link your entry back here on this blog post, and you could win a shop credit to Scrappin Patch.
• You have until May 10th to complete the hop and link up your sketch challenge entry below to be eligible for the hop prize!
• But that's not all! If you leave a comment on this post you are eligible to win a this fantastic blog candy from us, The Polkadot Door! There is vintage song sheet paper, dictionary sheets, chipboard, buttons, ribbon, cardstock, patterned paper and a few surprises too!
Hop along with the lovely ladies below and have even more chances to win
prizes as well as be inspired to use the inspiration before May 10th.
