Funky Hand's First Blog Hopitty Hop



Thank you for visiting my blog today, it's fab to have you popping by!
If you've hopped over from Katina's -as part of your Funky Hand Blog Hop journey, then you probably know what it's all about already, but if not, then you can find out what is going on by visiting Anice at
Funky Hand Blog Hop Central HERE

The Blog Hop is all about introducing the fabulous new Funky Hand CD
It's not released till the 5th November, but you can pre-order as from today from the website HERE.
As we each took one of the TWELVE paper collections to work with, our blog hop is just the PERFECT way to get a preview of what's on the new CD.  By visiting all the blogs of the Funky Gang's twelve crafters crafting you will see all of the colour-ways, lots of the paper designs, and many of the images and templates you can expect to find on
  
I've been using Vintage Christmas, a fabulous red, green, golden-yellow and silvery grey colour-way, with some gorgeous neutrals such as creamy browns thrown in for good measure.  The reds and greens are subtle and easy to use and I just love the feel of this set.
Here is my giant Sleigh card using these papers
20 paper designs in each colour collection and I've used 6 of them on this card. 
The sleigh is one of the digital images on the CD and you can print it at any size from teeny tiny to this giant one.  This card is made from a sheet of A4, folded in half and cut down to about 8cm deep, so that the sleigh stands above the fold.  The sleigh measures about 18 x 11cms and the finished card is about 20x14cms
This sleigh digi is perfect for layering - and especially easy to do when you make the image BIG!
Here are some tiny sneak peeks of other projects I've made with the Vintage Christmas set of papers and a bit of a hint of some more digi images and templates (don't tell anyone I showed you though)


By this point on the Hop, you've seen lots of the fab collections - so, would you like your own FREE copy of
TWELVE CRAFTERS CRAFTING
Well, there's one up for grabs just for joining in with our blog hop. 
You'll need to travel around the blogs of all the Funky Gang who are taking part in the hop, leaving a comment on every single blog and collecting a letter from each. The hop begins and ends with Anice's BLOG - so if you're not already following all the links from blog to blog, then do head over to Anice's and begin your tour there! 
The letters you'll collect are an anagram and you'll need to solve that to be in with a chance of winning the prize. - but all the info you need is on Anice's blog so I'll stop wittering on and give you your next letter.... just don't forget to leave a comment here and on all the blogs you visit or you won't qualify for entry.
The letter I'm giving you is:
"N"
and your next stop on the Funky Blog Hop is up in Scotland at Allison's place! 
Hope you're having fun and liking what you see
