Quixotic Paperie Celebratory Blog Hop.......

Today is the 1st Anniversary of the

Quixotic Paperie online store,

and we're having a celebratory blog hop!

 If you're already following the hop,

 you should have hopped over here from

Julie's Blog.

If not, then hop back to the beginning at the

Quixotic Paperie Store Blog.

You won't want to miss a stop,

as in addition to lots of fantastic inspiration,

there will be prizes awarded! 

 (full details on the Quixotic Paperie Blog).

Quixotic Paperie was started on

June 1st 2009 by Elaine Hughes.

Having been an avid crafter (and craft shopper!)

for a number of years, Elaine wanted to share her

passion and see where it might take her - so,

Quixotic Paperie was born!

Since then, the store has grown, and now stocks a

fabulous range of rubber stamps from

around the world: The Greeting Farm,

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, SCACD Stamps,

Paper Makeup Stamps, Belles 'n Whistles,

the Mo Manning for Stamping Bella range,

Stempelglede and more! In addition,

the store carries a large range of charms and

embellishments, and a host of gorgeous papers

 for all your crafty projects! If Elaine loves it,

you will probably find it at Quixotic Paperie!

In November 2009 the Quixotic Challenges blog was started,

 where you can find weekly inspiration from the wonderful

Quixotic Paperie Design Team, and join in for the chance

to win a monthly prize.

It has been a fabulous and wonderfully crafty year

and here's to another one and hopefully many more to follow!

Congratulations Elaine!!!

Ok now for my contribution to the blog hop:

(Of course I went with this Belles and Whistles image!)

She is the perfect image for birthdays!

I have made a single cupcake box to

put in my cupcake! (Sorry about

the frosting but it was so hot it

was flopping!! LOL)

My card follows the gorgeous sketch

from Double Dutch! I of course have

doused my card with Distress inks again!

I have colored with distress inks

and twinkling H20's. The paper is

from October Afternoon and the

pearls are from Melissa Frances.

Sentiment is a rub-on.

Thank you so much for joining us on the hop!

Your next stop is

Kim's blog!

 

Congrats again Elaine and best wishes for

another fabulous year!!

Thanks again so much for stopping by

and have a wonderful day!!!
