Happy Birthday! I visited all DT members blog. Thanks for the chance to win. Noemi
ReplyDeleteWhat a great "trip", just finished my visits to all of the blogs :)
ReplyDeleteJust finished the hop - totally blown away with the amazing pages and talented designers. So glad I found you from pamela's blog which I was just visiting to see her inspired Easter LO. I never enter challenges, as I feel I am not sufficiently experienced, but I will enter thsi one. After seeing all the projects I feel like I have had a crash course with lots of cool designers and I am finally ready!
ReplyDeleteNow I am confused - when is the deadline to submit a LO based on the sketch??
ReplyDeleteAm I disqualified from the draw because I did not use the linky tool? Bummer. Was so giddy to look at the projects completely ignored that!!
ReplyDeleteHey beatrice.. yeah you needed to link your name on the list as noted in the instructions. Oh and to enter our April challenge you have until the end of April, and you link on the right hand side of the blog. Hope that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
