So without further ado,,,,

Welcome to the 1st Funky Fairy's Blog Hop to celebrate the merging of the Shop & Challenge Design Teams. We thought that we had to mark this occasion & celebrate with a "Funky Fairy" party . . . or a blog hop in this instance!

Now the theme this week over on the Funky Fairys Challenge Blog is "Case It". This simply means that we have been looking at each others fab projects and choosing one to "CASE" (case is an acronym for Copy And Share Everything) so you create a project using someone else's work as your inspiration but do not need to copy it exactly. Well as you can imagine all the DT members got involved & have pulled "a blinder" this week and if you follow the blog hop you will see all their brilliant projects. Please do leave a comment on every blog you visit to be eligible for the fab prize being offered by Funky Fairys Papercrafts (via the Inspiration Blog) . . . we will check you know!

Here is my project :-) The template for the box is from Papertrey Inc This is called 'From the Desk of and you can see it here
I will be filling it up with cards, a notebook and other bits n bobs and giving as a Xmas gift to someone special :-)





And here's Jilly's project that I CASE'd :-) isn't it fantastic !! :-)




Now you have just left LANA'S blog & already got their letter but please don't forget to collect my letter which is "U". At this point you should have 14 letters. The next blog you need to pop over & visit is The Blog Of Inspiration. If you have not collected all the previous letters, please pop back to the beginning of our blog hop over on the Inspiration Blog.

There is lots of fabby candy along the way and the added prize of a Funky Fairys Download !! ON TOP OF THIS There is the usual prize for those entering the challenge of a Funky Fairys Papercrafts download AND a fabulous Simon Says Stamp Simply The Best Sentiment set donated by Heidi at Simon Says Stamp Store Fabulous eh !! :-)

As if those prizes aren't enough I will be giving one lucky hopper this little blog candy :-)



Heidi very kindly sent me 2 of these fab Simon Says Clear Stamps TERRA'S PENGUINS HAVE STYLE
and has given me permission to incluse it with my other bits of candy that you can see here :-) I will close this candy at 9PM UK time this coming Friday so good luck to everyone :-)
