Hi ADFD Friends,
The ADFD Blog is closing, so a few of the present and past design team members have come together for a blog hop.
Today is the first day of our ADFD Blog Hop - a celebration of all of the beautiful images Tammy has created over the years. As a special surprise for Tammy, we have a combination of current and former DT members participating in the hop. Her inspiring art and generous heart have touched us all. We want to take a moment to show our gratitude and thank Tammy for the blessings and joys we have received as members of the ADFD DT.
I’ve chosen to show you a creation I made with one of my favorite images of Tammy’s, although it was really hard to choose just one – At the Sea with Sister. I’m a huge beach lover and often go with my little sister, so this was a natural.
~
Our theme is “A Collection of ADFD Favorites” - so each DT member’s blog you visit will share something she has created with one of her favorite ADFD images. The hop has hidden prizes - a commenter from each hidden prize stop will win a choice of one image from the ADFD Shop! You won’t know where the prizes are hidden, so be sure to leave a comment at each stop of the Hop! Our Blog Hop will run from 7:00 a.m. eastern standard time on Saturday, February 25, 2017 until 9:00 p.m. eastern standard time on Tuesday, February 27, 2017.
In addition to the Blog Hop, we invite you to share your Favorite ADFD image in the final ADFD Blog Challenge. The linky will stay open until Friday, March 3rd. All prize-winners will be announced on the ADFD Blog on Saturday, March 4, 2017. We hope you will join our celebration of the thousands of images Tammy has created. Rules for the challenge are posted on the right sidebar of the ADFD Blog - the last spot of the stop! Are you ready to HOP?!?

When you leave me a comment, I’d like to know what your favorite Seaside retreat is! Enjoy the hop and I hope you win a prize!!
Thank you so much to Tammy for all the years that I enjoyed working (playing) with you!! Your images have always inspired me!! And thanks so much to you all for stopping by!
I'm so sad that the blog is closing down.
My favorite seaside retreat is Jacksonville Beach, FL.
I love the tag/bookmark you made. It reminds me of my 2 daughters when they were little. It really is a sweet image.

My favorite seaside retreat is Sarasota Beach, FL.
Your Bookmark is gorgeous! I love the mixed media background and lighter colors used. The image of course is amazing in itself. I love A day for daisies images.

My favorite beach retreat is in my backyard, Satellite Beach, FL.
Love all of the ADFD images you've colored over the years, especially these little beach girls. Thanks to you, I have quite a collection of ADFD images.
Sorry to see the blog close down, hopefully the shop will stay open.

This is just gorgeous, Broni! Thanks for joining us on the Hop. I love the background you have created for your bookmark and the pop of turquoise sequins!! I'm from a landlocked state in the midwest, so I don't have a favorite seaside retreat, but I have loved my time on the beaches in southern CA over the years! Hugs to you! Cathy

It is with sadness Tami is retiring but I hope to see more of the drawings. It is so hard to pick, My favorite Seaside is anywhere on the Lake Huron. Beautiful card and makes me think of my sister
s and I adventure on the water also.

Broni - this is just beautiful! I love being by the ocean as well and I just love the colors you picked out for this ADFD image! I don't yet have one favorite seaside retreat yet - but if I'd have to choose, I'd say St. Augustine and the ocean there!

Gorgeous tag! I love the colors and textures! Nice ocean scene, and special because of your beach visits with your sister!

I have made a card from this image before, I sent it to my sister to remind her of all of the fun we have had at the beach. My favorite beach is my home town! Breezy Point Beach on the Chesapeake Bay!
Your card is so lovely! I especially love the way you blended the background! Georgeous!
Hugs,

Broni, great tag with the memories of fun days with your sister! I'm from Montana and have no real beach days!! I do love the feel of warm sunshine on my face!

love the flowing aspect of your tag.

Thank you for giving Tami this blog hop. And us too. What a lovely way to say how much we appreciate all she has done. Love the sisters digi you used I love it too.
My favorite is the Oregon Coast. Almost anywhere on the O.C. But favorite spot would be Lincoln City. Lots of beautiful beach access, tide pools and lovely rocks, agates, and shells. Not to mention seals and sea lions. <3

Broni, your tag is beautiful. I also am sorry the blog is closing but it won't stop me buying ADFD images. My favourite seaside spot would have to be Umina Beach (Australia) where my Mum lives.

Such a beautiful tag! Love that image; you colored it so pretty!

Lovely card. Thank you for your inspiration on the A Day for Daisies blog hop.
When I was young my favourite seaside retreat was Sawtell in North NSW. I spent some of my holidays staying with my aunt and uncle there many years ago.

Sweet card. As a kid Wildwood, NJ was my favorite shore spot.Living in the middle of the country now and on hot summer days I often think of those days at the shore.

stunning card, amazing background!
uf, my favourite seaside spot are beaches in Corsica.

Why did you ask such a tough question? I don't know that this counts, since it's not "seaside", but for sunsets -- Stearns Beach, Ludington, MI. for sunrises -- haven't found it yet, but if it's not a beach, I do enjoy looking east out over Mr Wonderful's pond.
VERY pretty tag! and with a string of shiny sequins. Wonderul, dreamy quality. Hope you get some beach time soon!
