Woohoo! Teddy Bo first birthday Challenge and blog hop

This post will stay at the top until the blog hop is over, scroll down for other posts.

Can you believe it's been a whole year since Teddy Bo and Teddy Bea took their first tentative steps out into the big scary world of digital stamps and look how far they've come in that time. I have been there from the very beginning when we started out with a small DT of about six, (we've lost a couple along the way, although there are still four of us on the present DT),  the bears' popularity has gone from strength to strength and we now have more than double that amount.

Of course a birthday needs a celebration so hop along with the Teddy Bo Birthday Blog hop, 

 enter the draw for the fabulous Teddy Bo Birthday Candy.

and be sure to enter our month long Anything Goes Challenge, to win the fabulous Teddy Bo 10

We've a lot to get through today so let's start off with my card for this week.

I have made a window card using one of this week's new releases

Now you're looking at this card and thinking that's not a window card, you are, aren't you?! go on, admit it,

well it is a window card honestly! it's just that the window isn't on the front of the card...

It's inside!

Peeking through the window you can see Teddy Bea giving Teddy Bo her heart, awwww!

Flip it over and the floral heart is framed beautifully in the window, clever or what!

And now it's time to get hopping........

Start at the Teddy Bo Challenge Blog and then follow each of the DT blogs in order.

Collect a letter  from each of the DT blogs . . . keep these in a SAFE PLACE  as you will need to re-arrange these letters at the end of the blog hop to make a mystery phrase!!!! Can't say any more !!!

Each DT member is offering a prize along the hop, so make sure you’re a follower and leave a comment on each of their blogs to be in with a chance of winning your choice of a Teddy Bo digital graphic.

 

Re-arrange your collected letters and leave a comment on the Teddy Bo challenge blog telling us what the mystery phrase is.

The blog hop will end on Monday 23^rd January (noon GMT), so you have a while to enter and hop along with us!

If you have arrived here from Nela's blog then you are heading in the right direction.

My Letter is

As I am the last stop on the hop you should now have all your letters, re-arrange them into a simple two word phrase and then head back to The Teddy Bo Challenge blog to leave a comment containing your answer, if this is your first stop on the hop head over to the challenge blog and start from there.

Good luck!

If you get lost, or if a link doesn't work (we are all on different time zones), go back to the Teddy Bo Challenge blog to get the next link.

I also have some extra candy. 

As well as the Teddy Bo graphic my winner will also get today's card, and some crafting goodies, including everything below and a few extra things not shown.

Happy Hopping!
