Simon Says Stamp FIRST BLOGAVERSARY! BLOG HOP & PRIZES!!

Before we announce the new challenge we have some sad news for you :-( Timea has decided to step down from the team due to family and work commitments. We are all saddened by this but would like to thank her for her hard work and support over the past 12 months and wish her the very best for the future xx Keep in touch hunny :-)

  2. Can I make one birthdayscard and link to that one on all of the DT blogs? Or do I have to make a new card for each DT blog? And, also, the prize for the number-collecting-game, is that the one that will be drawn like normal for the challenge-winner?

  31. I've done the wonderful hop and left a comment at each blog post. I love your blog and am trying to collect up some goodies so I can actually start making some myself. It does say in the contest rules that we "will need to leave a comment OR a direct link to a card" so I've done that. I have tried to use the "mr. linky in the past and it doesn't seem to work with my computer. Please enter me in your contest.
