ADFD - DT Favorites Blog Hop



Hello and welcome to the ADFD DT Favorites Blog Hop.  We are celebrating all the beautiful images that Tammy has created through the years.  And as a special surprise for Tammy both past and present DT members are taking part in this wonderful hop. 

 

I feel so blessed to have been a part of this DT for the last year and a half.  Thank you Tammy for all of your amazing images and for the opportunity to design with them.  I'm gonna miss this...

 

Be sure and comment on each blog post along the way because there are hidden PRIZES.  Lucky winners will receive an ADFD image of their choice.  You have until Tuesday, February 27th at 9pm EST to comment for a chance to win.

 

Now it was nearly impossible to pick my favorite ADFD image.  I love quite a few of them :-)  But this little fairy is in my top 5 for sure.  She's called New Shoes.  Comment below and describe your favorite pair of shoes.  They could be from years ago or right now.

Shakers for my planner

Hello there!  I'm excited to share some shakers I made for my planner.  I'm also the host over on the Kennedy Grace Creations blog today. 

The first shaker I made using some cut apart pages from a Crate Paper pack called Hello Love.  I used a photo sleeve along with my fuse tool and some fabulous sequins from Kennedy Grace Creations.  Sorry about the glare in this photo.  It was hard to get a great shot. 

And the second one I used a black and white photo of my husband and I.
