Fairy tea time


It's time for another Lili of the Valley blog hop and today we’re celebrating the launch of the sweet Birthday Fairies - and all 10 of them are adorable!  And of course there will be prizes to win on this hop!
The shop in Leeds is open that day for the Birthday celebrations with design team members (including me!) from all over the world coming along.  There will be more new products, demonstrations and special offers - so lots to tempt you to come along!  I hope you can make it as I would LOVE to meet you in person!
And if you can’t get to the shop don't worry because there will be some online fun too - details nearer the time but Lucy will be on Facebook throughout the day bringing you chat, news and pictures from the shop. You may even see me demo'ing away!  
Okay, so join our hop and comment as you go along for a chance to win those hidden prizes.  The winners will be drawn at random and will be announced on the Ideas to Inspire blog on Saturday morning.
We have 2 full sets of the new stamps to give away!
So you should have arrived here from lovely Lou and you now need to hop off to sweet Mindy.  If you need to start from the beginning, start at the Ideas to Inspire blog.
So here’s my card using the very sweet Fairy Tea...

Isn't she adorable?  I matched her up with Perfect Pair papers and the sentiment is from the Scroll Sentiments set.
Here's a peek at all of the ten new cuties which will be available to buy on the website from 10am on Saturday 10th May GMT. 


I gotta go now but I'll be back later with my SugarPea Designs sweet sneak post - ta ta for now!
