AnnaBelle Blog Hop

Hi and thanks for joining us for our first hop for April!  Did I say first??  We are trying something new and will now host a Blog Hop twice a month - the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month!  That means some great give aways more often!

AnnaBelle Stamps Blog Hop

Come and join us the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month as we have fun sharing a new set with you!  

Play along with us for your chance to win the Blog Hop set OR the detailed prize!

How to Play :

Playing along is now even easier!  You can leave a comment on one or all of the DT blogs and add your name using the Inlinkz tool which can be found on any of the DT blogs.

Each Hop a random winner will be drawn and if you've commented on the mystery DT blog then you will be the winner of the Blog Hop prize!   The hop will run for 1 week and the winner will be announced the following Tuesday!

So even if you only comment on one blog you may be lucky enough to have chosen the mystery DT blog to comment on, and still be in with a chance to win!  

We have lots to share with you today!!  Firstly let's share with you our first ever Bella Digi Designs!

These three images have been illustrated by Jasmine Hambling, who has created something a little different for us this time.

As well as three new digi images there are 9 new sets!  Over the coming months we will showcase one of the new sets each Blog Hop, but I'll share some with you below as these sets are available now!!

First up I wanted to show you three sets from our newest illustrator and DT member - Iwona Palamountain.  

Mother's Day Bouquet - 6" x 4" set

Acacia - 6" x 4" set

Baby Joy - 6" x 8" set

Iwona has created some beautiful images, and we are going to love using these, and sharing ideas with you!
I still have 6 more sets to share, but I might leave those for another day as this post would already have to be the longest post ever lol!
So let's get started!  You'll want to head to my blog first up HERE.  Let us know what you think!  We would love to hear your ideas on how to make the Blog Hop more fun for you!
Happy Hopping everyone!
Hugs,
Andrea

Hello again to another Sneak Peek and some more news!  With the introduction of our Bella Digi Designs range we will also be including a collection of Digi Papers!  Now we can thank Sue W for this fantastic idea and who got me hooked on printing and playing with Digi Papers!  We will be starting slowly and will build the range up monthly (you can see a little sneak peek HERE).

Say It In...

...Orange and Purple!  This is a bright combo to finish the week on, or so I thought!  Our incredible Guest Designer for this month, Nicole has shown me that it doesn't have to be bright!

Here's Nicole's great creations using one of my favourite sets - All Things Grow!

The corner book mark is a great gift to go with the matching card I think, and Nicole has inspired me to give one a go!
We would love for you to join us this week for our Say It In...Orange and Purple Challenge!

Monthly Winner and New Design Team Girls!

Hi!  I thought rather than make the sketch post really long I'd do a separate post to announce the winner of the gift voucher and introduce you to our two new Design Team members!  Now which do I do first???


I think the winner first lol!  Congratulations to number 12 - Janet O'Brien!

The winner is selected using random.org and the sketch challenge entries.  Once a random number has been given I then check the other weeks challenges to see if the person has participated in any other challenge, and if you have then you are the winner!


Email me and I will send out the details of how you can claim your prize!


With new designers there must be farewells and we say goodbye to :

Ida

Jerusha

Rene'
