TMITA "Recipe Challenge" Last blog of the hop

I hope you have enjoyed this hop!! If you arrived from Leigh Anne's blog and have visited all 9 other blogs; you have now arrived on the last blog of the hop. If you did not arrive from Nilla's you will want to start at the beginning of the hop which is here; as not to miss anything!

The image that I bring you is called "Afternoon Tea" I truly love this image and think it is very versatile. I made this card for a very dear friend of mine for her birthday. This is actually a set of 3 images and I have only used 2, the other is a single flower. I cut the cup and set it up on pop dots and set it somewhat in front of the pitcher as to give it more dimension. The sentiment is computer generated. I colored it with my Bic Mark-its.


AND NOW FOR THE.....

Here is my yummy recipe, hope you will give it a try. I did this like a digi stamp so all you have to do is left click, then right click "save as" the larger image and you now have this yummy recipe saved ready to print off, the bake! ENJOY!




Also, we have a "Magical Monday" going on this week as well. It is our normal weekly challenge with a free image. I afraid with the business of the hop it might get lost in the shuffle. The image is super cute of Kim's dog Malie, so you won't want to miss out on that as well as the great creations from the designers. You can find that here! So, make sure you check out that challenge as well, it too had a small give-a-way. Thanks again for joining us today! ((( And make sure you leave me a message rather you do the challenge or not, because that will make you eligible for some of the give-a-ways!))) Have a "SWEET" day!

What a blast! I managed to spend the whole afternoon doing the blog hop and discovered a bunch of web pages, ideas, how to's, etc. by clicking on different links everyone has posted on their blogs. I completed the weekly challenge and hope to complete the 'recipe' challenge as well. Guess my tomorrow is planned out now! Nina, thanks so much for sharing your images, sharing the ideas of your designers and of course the awesome recipes.

Oh my! I accidentally posted this comment on the previous post. So I have copied over to here.

Wow! Was that ever fun. My first ever attempt at a blog challenge!! I can't wait to see what everyone has done! This was so much fun, but I had a really difficult time with coming up with a card using ALL of the ingredients, but I finally made it. Thanks for a chance to show off my work and to win some great blog candy

What a beautiful card, Nina!!! I really like the images.

Your recipe sounds great. Another "must try" one.

This has been a marvelous hop with all of the lovely cards, the new images, the scrumptious recipes, the secret sentence, and now the recipe challenge. I think the length of the hop was perfect too. It's hard to find the time to go all the way through some of the super long hops. Thanks for such a fun time. :)

Unknown said...
