Love Shack ~ Baby!!

Happy Birthday 1st Birthday Paper Sundae's!!!

To celebrate we're having a blog hop.  And what's a blog hop without prizes?  Well, we have SIX (6) different prizes for you to win.  All you need to do is collect a word when you visit each Sundae Girl, to complete the secret phrase and enter your answer on the Paper Sundae's blog comments (the last stop).  And to further entice you to play along, you'll even find a few Sundae Girls giving away yummy candy too.  

I'm the FIRST stop on the hop!!  :)      

Our challenge for this week is extra special ~ we would like for you to choose your favorite Paper Sundae's challenge from the past year.  

I've chosen our 3rd challenge - Valentines!!


This is one of the newest images just released by 
Your Next Stamp, Love Shack!!
I could not wait to play with this image when I saw it!!!  I knew that I wanted to keep it clean and simple so I decided to paper piece the entire image rather than color it.  I used Copic's E43 for shading on the house and that was it.  The hearts coming out of the chimney are mounted on foam dots as is the main image panel.  

Now next on our hop is my friend TRACY.  You're in for a treat because all of her cards are gorgeous!!  But before you go, please don't forget to leave me a comment and to collect your word.  My word is THANK.

Here's a complete list of participants if you get lost along the way.

                                                                            
Wendy


Thanks so much for stopping by!!
