Polkadoodle Challenge 28 - Olympic Theme - Red, White & Blue & BLOG HOP!

Right! I promise that this will be my fourth and last post for today! It's like buses - I don't blog for a few days (work really gets in the way sometimes) and then four come along all at once!

A new Polkadoodle challenge is launched today and the theme is:

Red, White and Blue with an Olympic theme

But that is not all!  We're having a blog hop to celebrate!  So if you have arrived at my blog from the Challenge blog then you are going in the right direction!

You need to leave me a comment and then hop to Shell and leave her a comment too.  There are no letters to collect, but you must comment on each of the stops along the way AND enter the challenge.  For more details on the actual challenge pop back to the challenge blog.

I've used a trusty brown takeaway bag for my project, and don't worry, it hasn't been used!  I've used the Britannia download which was a freebie on our facebook page a while ago and used an X cut die for the fancy shape.  The letters have been cut with my Sizzix Round a Bout alphabet dies and from matt gold card.  A bit of organza ribbon has been tied to the handle.

I gave this to my cousin Claire and her new husband Ross just before they left to live in Germany for a few years.  Obviously it wasn't empty (I'm not that bad!) - it had a tea towel in with Keep Calm and Eat Cake emblem on it!

Good luck with the challenge and don't forget to leave me a comment - there are some fab prizes on offer - and don't forget to enter the challenge as well!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Flourishes:  Sentiment as Main Focus
Paper and Such:  Red, White and Blue
Use Your Stuff:  Patriotic Colours
Critter Challenges:  Colour Palette inspiration
Dream Valley Challenges:  Anything But Square
  • Papers:  Britannia download
  • Dies:  X Cut and Sizzix alphabet
  • Everything else:  My stash
