If you are here for the Your Next Stamp Blog hop click here.  If you are here for the ODBD Shining the Light challenge post, click here.

Welcome to the Circle of Friends Blog Hop If you have arrived from  Erin Bailey you are in the right place, if not you may want to start at Crystal's Blog so you don't miss anything along the way.



Our Circle of Friends hop is to show our dear friend Annika Ryan that her Whimsy Family is here for her during this difficult time. Everyone needs a circle of friends, and sometimes, during those hard moments, you need to be placed in the center of that circle and be given a big group hug.  Though we may be miles away, our hearts are with her along with our support.
Today we all have made her a creation to show her how much we care, Please hop along with us to Support our Wonderful Teammate and Friend Annika.
Here is the creation I made for my dear friend and dt sister.......
 For my creation, I used the adorable Loved little Bear illustrated by Melissa Jenkins (available in the Whimsy stamps store- Meljen's digitals).  The dp is from K& Co and DCWV Girl Nursery pack.  The hearts are punched with a SU Heart punch.  The dies used include Spellbinders Lacey Circles and classic circles cut out with my new GRAND CALIBER.
Challenges I am entering my creation in:
Karber Weekly-Dots & Stripes + Digi
Rainbow Lady's-Beary Good
Stamp Fairy-Circles
Crazy Challenge-Dots & stripes
Creative Craft World-Cute & Cuddly
Fuzzy Wuzzy -  - animal, anything goes
The Outlawz Copic Challenge - (must use Copic/Promarkers) - anything goes
Meljens Designs - (SIO) - create something with hearts
Pals Paper Arts - bows
Fab 'n' Funky - use a digi
Paper Pretties - sewing
Penny's Paper-Crafty (2nd week) – anything goes
Pixie Cottage - SKETCH and/or flowers
Simon Says Stamp - animal antics
Little Red Wagon - lace
Top Tip Tuesday - fabulous flowers
Gem Of A Challenge (1st week) -Ribbon and Lace
Really Reasonable Ribbon - (2nd week) ribbon and hearts
 



If you know Annika and would like to make a creation for her please go to the end of the hop (Denise's Blog)  and link a card, then email Crystal at crystalkbk30@gmail.com to privately give you her address.
This hop will end on February 5, noon Eastern time so you have enough time to create a card for friend!!
Thanks so much for hopping along with us today!!!  Your next stop on the hop is Ann Vento!

Have a great weekend!

hugs,
