Totally Papercrafts First 'Friends' Challenge and a Blog Hop :-)

Ooh isn't this exciting :-) A BRAND NEW Challenge bog and I am on the DT with some lovely old friends,,I have met 3 of them IRL and would so love to meet Sue and Anne too :-)

Welcome to our first challenge and BLOGHOP

We (6 friends) have started a brand new challenge blog and we want everybody to have fun with papercrafting. So whatever kind of papercraft your doing you are free to join our challenges.
We will list a new challenge every Friday and announce a winner.

We would like to see the theme FRIENDS coming back into your papercraft creation.
You can make whatever you want as long as it is made with Paper and has the theme Friends on it.

We are being sponsored by the lovely Heidi at Simon Says Stamp :) she is offering the winner of this challenge a Hero Arts Cling stamp and some lovely sparkly crystals to complete your card with. Thanks SSS :)

Photobucket




For my card I used this gorgeous new Mo Manning stamp called Bella and Bronte which is now available in the Simon Says Stamp Store :-)
I coloured them with copics and added a little lace stickles to ger skirt I also added diamond stickles in various places :-) I can't remember the name of the papers so if anyone knows please tell me :-) the flower was made using a spellbinders die :-)The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp exclusives set




The blog hop starts on the Totally Papercrafts Challenge Blog so if you came here first you may wish to go to the beginning :-) If you arrived here from Emma's Blog you're going in the right direction :-)

My letter for you to collect is 'F'


Now hop on over to the our lovely and very talented friend Anne to see what she made,,, she may have some candy too !!! :-)

This is the candy you could win here :-) Hope you like it :-)



You MUST also enter this weeks challenge to be eligible for my candy prize and the lovely challenge prize donated by Heidi at Simon Says Stamp

My husband and i have been looking at this website and have found it to be incredibly handy. I would greatly be thankful for almost any assistance.

Lately, Louisville has emerged as a major gathering place for the health care and medical sciences industrial sectors. Louisville has been key to advancements in heart and hand surgery treatment as well as cancer treatment. Some of the earliest unnatural coronary heart transplants were executed in Louisville. Louisville's booming downtown medical research campus includes a different $88 million rehab center, and a well being sciences exploration and commercialization park that, in relationship with the University of Louisville, has lured nearly 70 major experts and scientists. Louisville is also home to Humana, just one of the nation's biggest health insurance policy companies.

Louisville is home to a lot of major companies and corporations.

Another issue that you must stay on top of is price fluctuations from the bookmaker. The prices for placing bets do not just change with different bookies but even with the same. You cannot take it for granted that the prices that are quoted in print like the Racing Post will be valid at the time of the event. With sports betting things can change very rapidly so be sure that the price will be honored before placing your bet otherwise this can seriously affect the outcome of your arbitrage sports betting.

Still, there are tons of bettors looking through rose colored glasses for the holy grail of betting systems that will let them make money without risking any. Well, there is a way to do that and it is called work! Gambling is called gambling for a reason, it’s risky. Let’s take a look at some sports betting systems.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]bets sports[/url]
The Paroli System, of all the famed sports betting systems, is thought to be opposite that of Martingale. Where the difference lies is on the scheme that with the Paroli System, you start with one wager and then up the wager when you win rather than with a loss. This system lets the profit run and cut short the losses, which makes it appealing due to the fact that you don’t have to have a lot of money to be able to use it effectively.

In the preceding part of this discourse I concluded that (a) the greatest hazard for you as a typical, well-balanced sports Bettor is that you may continually lose more than you win and thereby regularly exhaust your betting funds, and (b) to thoroughly analyse the likelihood of that happening you need to properly address the following questions:

(i) What things could possibly go wrong that would cause you harm?
(ii) How likely is it that those things will go wrong for you?

Manchester Utd, almost certainly the biggest soccer club on earth. The selection of players on offer to a football team of this stature is fairly big. Over time Man utd have therefore had some top rated footballers out on the pitch for them. Whether you like it or not, the role in any soccer team that will get the maximum amount of interest is centre forward. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]manchesterunited[/url] Manchester United was established in 1878 as the Newton Heath Football Club, which served as the works team of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot. The club nearly went bankrupt in 1902 but was saved by J.H. Davies who subsequently re-named the team as Manchester United. During World War II, the Old Trafford Football Ground was severely bombed, leaving United without a stadium. They had to seek the assistance of their then more illustrious neighbours, Manchester City, and both teams shared Maine Road as their home stadium for some time. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]berbatov[/url] Hopefully this article has given an informative insight into the history of the Manchester United Shirt, and should you be asked on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" for the colour scheme of the Newton Railways Club shirt, you won't need to phone a friend!

Despite the loss and questions about his career, Pellegrini stated that he would stay with Real Madrid to the end. He had no intention of resigning and would keep on working towards the team’s next goal this season: La Liga. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]camiseta real madrid[/url] With this victory, Real Madrid is focusing on their next match against Osasuna, which will be held on May 2nd. During their last match on January 3rd, neither of the two could obtain the victory; the game ended 0-0. Now, this game will be key for both squads; the Whites would be closer to surpassing Barça to obtain the La Liga title, which they haven’t won in two seasons. On the other hand, Osasuna, which tied their last game against Athletic Bilbao, are trying to add a triumph and surpass Espanyol in the 11th place of the standings. If Osasuna end in 11th or 10th place this season, it will be the best position they have achieve in four seasons.

"We played well; things are going well for me and for Real Madrid. Barcelona are doing well at the moment and not dropping points but we just have to continue winning our games," stated Kaká. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]ronaldo goals[/url] For Racing Santander, only Oscar Serrano was able to convert during solo action, passing Rafa Marquez and kicking a thunderous left-footed drive in off post.
