You'll remember a few weeks ago I announced that I was part of the new challenge team at Cuddly Buddly and today is the day of the 1st challenge!
Challenges will be each Friday but we are two teams, Cuddly and Buddly!, and so you'll see a card from me every other week.
You need to use a Cuddly Buddly digital project to enter but there are tons of FREEBIES so there is no reason not to play :)
We will have winners each week, all the details are on the Cuddly Buddly blog
Now to this very 1st challenge, I had the honor of choosing the theme and in the spirit of the new challenge and team members I've chosen the theme of "A Brand New ...". You can make a card for a new baby, new home, new start (graduation), wedding or maybe just using brand new products or a technique that is brand new to you!
Plenty of ideas for this one and we really want to see you play along.

I'm the first to admit that I shied away from digital papers for a long while as we in US have such an easily available selection of tangible papers that I didn't feel the need.
But many of my favorite digital stamp companies have matching papers that I was slowly but surely pulled in :)
It is so nice to be able to print just as much as you need, make the image on the paper smaller or larger to suit your needs and even change colors if you need to!
I used papers from two different sets on this card and I really love the results.
This was such a easy card to pull together as the image is so sweet that it didn't need much to finish it off.
I hope you like it and go grab a freebie if you like and come along and play with us at Cuddly Buddly!
Hello everyone and welcome to the Digital Delights It's a Celebration Blog Hop 30th June-1st July 2011. This is a 2 day hop to help you get through all 30 of our talented designers, collect your letters and enter to win the grand prize!
If you came here from Juelmarie then you are in the right spot! If you have just come across this posting while browsing around in blog land then start at the top Digital Delights so you don't miss all of the amazing projects!
The theme of this hop is CELEBRATIONS!! At Digital Delights by Louby Loo, we are celebrating the new store! Wendy (aka Louby Loo) just completed the move to a new and improved store! In honor of this, each stop along the way will have a Digital Delights stamp from their project to be given away. There are amazing sponsors for the grand prize at the end.
This is a hop with a different twist as along the hop there are letters to find in the postings - not all blogs have the letters but if you gather all the letters then at the end of the hop on day 2 assemble them to create a Digital Delights related word. You then return to the Digital Delights and enter your name in the InLinks at the bottom of the post (do not reveal the secret word yet). After the hop you will be contacted if you are selected at random--at which point you will be asked to reveal the correct word.
Now on to my project(s).

Now back to the hop - I can now reveal my hidden blog hop letter is I DON'T HAVE ONE BUT KEEP HOPPING!!! Remember to collect all the letters from the hop and assemble to form a Digital Delights related word then return to Digital Delights to enter.
The next stop on the hop is: Larelyn
