Anything But A Card Blogaversary Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog and the Anything But A Card Blogaversary Blog Hop!  I'm so glad you could join us.


Ashley here and I will be your hostess for this rockin blog hop.


I am joined by 17 fabulous ladies to help me celebrate my 1st anniversary of having my blog.  I have grown in so many ways and I am inspired everyday by everyone on Blogger, Facebook and You Tube to keep on creating.  I can't believe it's been a year!


I decided that this hop will have a theme of Anything But A Card so sit back and be inspired!


Here is the full lineup...


I wanted to show everyone what my first picture was when I started this blog....


The diaper cake and stork bundle were created a few months prior to the blog being created but it was my very first picture that was uploaded to my blog.


I also wanted to share my one of my favorite anything but a card projects.
                       


This project actually sparked my idea to have an Anything But A Card theme.


On to my hop projects....
 Recipe:
Paper is from DCWV Street Lace
Embellishments are Recollections
Stamp is from K.Andrew Designs Fashionable Friends stamp set






Recipe:
Lindy Stamp Gang Moon Shadow Mist Ink Pot in VanDyke Sepia Walnut
Tim Holtz Philosophy Tag
Lace is from MB's Treasurista
Embellishments are Recollections
Stick pin is a pin from a Stick Pin Swap over at Creating The Crafty Life

OH, what cute projects, Ashley!! You didn't give much info on that ADORABLE bustier/lacy headless mannequin ... drawing a blank, what is it called!? ... anywhooo, how tall is it? Did you find the piece, paint it black, or have to assemble it yourself? I never have seen anything like it and it is SUPER sweet!! I'm also partial to your very first pic, the diaper cake. SO nicely done. I've enjoyed your blog since I think around it's inception, and following you back east to my neck of the woods. LET'S GET TOGETHER in the New Year!! Can't Wait!!

Fondly,
Ellen ♥ CardMonkey
