Happy Birthday Paper Sundaes!

Once again I find myself surprised to be celebrating another birthday with Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog.  The past year has flown by (partially due to my little absence the past few months, but hey, we creative types are allowed to be eccentric!) and we have gained over 400 followers and are fast approaching 1,000! 
To celebrate we are having a blog hop and a special challenge with multiple prizes!!  If you have arrived here from Sara's blog, then you are on the right track - and almost at the end! If not, please start at Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog and hop along so that you enjoy all of the gorgeous creations from the Sundae Girls (and more chances to win some yummy candy!). Remember to collect your word and comment on all of the stops so that you are entered for our SIX amazing blog hop prizes! Your last stop will be back at the beginning where you can leave the sentence you collected along the way in the comments section for your chance to win even more!

Our challenge this week is extra special - we would like you to show us your favorite challenge from the past year! And to celebrate, we are offering the random challenge winner a $20 gift certificate to one of our sponsor's stores - their choice!

There are a few different challenges that I can use for my project:

Challenge #60 - Keep It Simple
Challenge #67 - Favorite Hair Colour Combination (Copics - E50/Y21/Y26/Y28)
Challenge #70 - Pop It Up!
Challenge #85 - Magnolia
Challenge #99 - Anything Christmas
Challenge #101 - Something Old, Something New (old - ribbon, new - stamp)



I'd like to offer one lucky person Magnolia Ink Magazine issues No. 2 and No.3 2011 and the fabulous Bow-Easy.  You don't have to be a follower as I prefer people to follow only if they like what I do -  Simply leave me a comment on this post, telling me your favorite Paper Sundaes challenge from the past year to qualify!

And for everyone hopping along today, I have this to share with you:

My

Your next stop is the talented Shanna!

Thank you for looking!  I look forward to seeing your creations!

Shana, your Tilda with teddy looks lovely on this sweet card. TFS! I loved the Finishing Touches (Inside) and Masculine Card challenges as I don't often complete those and these challenges made me pay attention to those areas. ~ Rose
