StampInsanity blog hop!

Please note: I scheduled this to go up on Saturday, and that all went well. Except today I realised that I seem to have forgottten to actually enter any of the challebges listed, D'oh!, so I'm entering the ones that are still open today (Sunday). Sorry for the confusion!

We're having a fun blog hop, and of course there are prizes to be won! If you've come here from Sugar's blog then you're on the right track and it's time to head back to the beginning to leave a comment on the HOP POST to be in with a chance of winning some StampInsanity grooviness! :D If you've come here from somewhere else, why not head over to the StampInsanity blog to see all the details and get the full hop list? The lovely Kelli designed a sketch for us and we had to add flowers as well. I gave Lilith a mermaid tail again because I have to admit, I love her as a mermaid! Yuo can find the original version at the StampInsanity store, along with her luscious set-mates, the Devil Dolls. The papers are by Crafty Chaos Designs, from the Memories of Atlantis set.
Here are the challenges I'd like to enter:
Gingerloft Challenges - sparkle
Order of the Opus Gluei - no words (this is sooo hard for me :P)
One Stitch At A Time - use a digi
Paper Playtime - water
Craft Your Passion - under the sea
