Our theme this fortnight is “It’s a Celebration” with buttons.
As it’s our FIRST BIRTHDAY at CFAS we’re having a blog hop to celebrate. The hop begins and ends on the challenge blog. If you’ve arrived from Carly's blog you’re on the right track, if you’re just popping by to say hello you may want to pop over to the challenge to join in the whole hop.
At each blog you’ll find a letter, once you’ve collected them all leave a comment on the challenge post telling us which word the letters spell. You must leave a comment on each blog as you hop and one commenter on each of the blogs will win a prize, my prize is some ribbons and papers.
We're being sponsored by Meljens and The Digi Garden. I've opted to not to use a sponsor image this time.
I was asked to make some 1st birthday invites for the little girl next door and this is what I came up with. Using a kit from Nitwits called Bear Necessities I prepared the invite digitally in Publisher and printed onto digital postcards (from Craftwork Cards) then reprinted the label and teddy and decoupaged the front of the invite.
I've used one of the invites and added some buttons, a heart and a made with love label to the bag I used for packaging the invites.
Close ups of the front and the back of the invite.
Do pop over to the challenge blog to see the what my team mates have created, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
Here is your letter N, now it’s time to pop over to Dawn's blog to carry on the hop.
If you get lost along the way you'll find a full list for the hop on the challenge post. Enjoy!

Sweet 1st birthday invites. Just when I thought I knew what the letters were spelling (I like watching Wheel of Fortune and guessed the final puzzle Magic Wand last night that the guy who was playing could not get, he said Magic but thoguht it was Magic Hand so then he kept guessing but ran out of time when he said the wand word after the buzzer sounded) the you have me guessing again; thus on with the hop.
