Super Chick!

I just got through making a really fun bookmark.
I used a From The Heart stamp from their monthly challenge.
I also used their sketch from this week.
I thought that would add a little bit of color.

Surprise Birthday Blog Hop!!

Hi Dressies, I want to welcome you to our surprise Birthday Blog Bop and challenge. 

Today is the very talented Wendy’s birthday.

For those who don’t know Wendy is the owner and artist behind All Dressed Up

All of us on the All Dressed Up team would like to wish Wendy a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! and thank her for her amazing images, and for everything she does. We wouldn't have these great images without her, so THANK YOU! Wendy!!

 We would normally have our new challenge on the 15th.
But as today is Wendy’s birthday, we wanted to do a surprise birthday blog hop, along with our challenge. It's a surprise because we didn't even tell Wendy about it!

Firstly the challenge, the challenge theme is Anything Goes.
Just as long as it features one of our images or digital papers.

For our Surprise Birthday Blog Hop I made a birthday card for Wendy using this fabulous new Cupcake digi stamp. This stamp can only be gotten by subscribing to
Scrap N Art online Magazine. You actually get 3 great All Dressed Up designs with the June issue. You can subscribe for a year, or just get June's issue.



 I used some adorable new cupcake papers from Best Creations.
I also added some white glittery paper for my background.
Some of my favorite Spellbinder dies and punches.
A few flowers, a pretty ribbon, and of course just a little bit of bling.

This is such an easy theme and we cannot wait to see all your fantastic entries, the winner will receive 3 images of their choice from the All Dressed Up Store .
Now onto the blog hop!
Below is a list of the dressy girls for you to hop around.
Since we have a very big team, you will have until July 1st midnight GMT to hop around to them all. 

At the end of the hop two random Dressy Girls will pick someone who has visited and commented on their hop card to receive 2 images of their choice from the All Dressed Up

I got to use this really cute stamp this week.
I decided to make a bookmark using this great Kenny K stamp, Texting Diva.
