I decided to make a very 'Sandie' card for my first card at AAA and used my fav colour and background stamp that my very good friend Nonni give and this bold sentiment from Winnie and Walter
- My Treasure hunt word is somewhere in this post (it might be in bold and my fav colour!!)
My question is:
- Which city do you love best and why?
Mine is London and I like it because 'you can never get bored of London'
If you leave a comment on my post and answer this question you could win a £10 gift voucher from UnikoI will choose my favourite answer.

ReplyDeleteMy favourite city is Rome ... we're hoping to go back later this year, I can't wait!
I love north shore Oahu Hawaii. It is gorgeous with beautiful weather, laid back atmosphere, the beach and the best shave ice ever!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Super simple but so pretty! My favourite city is...ok I can't pick...Prague for the beauty, London for things to do and Paris for the culture!
ReplyDeleteA spectacular Sandie style showcase and welcome to your first outing as an AAA Design Teamie - so thrilled to have you on board! Arrrgh Cities I'm not a city girl to be honest I need space and peace and scenery. I adore Switzerland so would have to say Geneva as it's on the gorgeous lake with stunning views yet still close to all the hussle, bussle and expensive shops of the city!!!! Sarah x
ReplyDeleteoooh I wanted to use that stamp for this challenge too ;-) oh well..my favorite city is London, been many times a close second is Edingburgh, beuatiful but I don't know it as well
ReplyDeleteI love your clean & simple card Sandie. Sometimes, less is more!
ReplyDeleteMy fav. city is Halifax, N.S. because its and hour away and I don't have to fly to get there! LOL
Lovely one-layer, Sandie. I'm a country girl, so I don't have a favorite city. :) Give me some trees and a lake or the beach (without people)!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Sandie! so you and perfect for your kick off at AAA! My favorite city would be London too...so much to do...and I get to do it with my family - you! xx
ReplyDeleteSignature card Sandie and an absolute beauty - love that purple! Mmm favourite city? Well I'm with Melissa and prefer the peace and quiet of the countryside, but I do rather like the town of Bury St Edmunds if that counts or anywhere with a good M&S pleases me.
ReplyDeleteLove your special Sandy style! A great and "popping"card!
ReplyDeleteForgot to answer the question: Eindhoven; it is such a bubble city with old and new, lot of technique and design! (And I was born there...)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful simple and striking card! I love magenta too. My favourite city...hmm hard to choose. Singapore cause it has the best Asian food, New York cause it has the best food from everywhere and London, cause its the closest place I can fly to for good Asian food, and it has the Tate Gallery!
ReplyDeleteI'm just going to have to say Seattle, where I live. Love home.
ReplyDeleteLovely card! My favorite city is Boise. I love that it is a bigger city, but it's still small enough that I am not overwhelmed by all the people and places to visit!
ReplyDeleteI love your card, simple and the color is striking. My favorite city is NYC. That's where I am now babysitting my two granddaughters. Not a lot of time to get out and enjoy the city, but I'm looking forward to my next visit.
ReplyDeleteCAS perfection!
ReplyDeleteLOVE!! what a delightful card for this "challenge" which I am guessing is your hidden word! : )
ReplyDeleteI love Stillwater, MN which is located on the St. Croix River. It is not only a beautiful historic town in a stunning setting it is where my husband and I got married! : )
Thanks for all the fun Sandie!
Patti
Pretty card! Love that bold sentiment and the fun color... great little sequin stamp to embellish it too!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite city... Santa Barbara, CA! I lived there when I was little and grew up not too far from there. Lots of great memories of visiting my grandparent's home there and spending holidays at their Victorian house. Also the beach and the shops on State Street were always a treat to see!
That is a great font on your card. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite city ... hmmm... hard to say for sure but I really liked Miami when I was there last year. I have never been to England or Ireland or Europe but I bet I could find a favorite in one of those places. Or Hawaii or.... My favorite would probably have to be wherever I am at any given time. There is always something to love wherever you are.
such a fun blog hop, LOVE the treasure hunt!!! Your card is wonderful, I really like the clean and simple look! Great take on the challenge, thanks so much for playing along with us this week over at the Mod Squad!
ReplyDeleteJudy~ Mod Squad Challenge Host
Oh, and my favorite city to visit is Grand Rapids, Michigan. I'm a Mitten Girl!
Awesome CAS card! I don't have a favorite city. In fact I don't like the big cities. I was born in Chicago and I don't even like Chicago. I'm a country girl and have lived in the country almost my entire life. There's nothing like sitting outside in the evening and sipping lemonade, looking up at the stars and listening to the crickets or loons.
ReplyDeleteReally Sandie card
ReplyDeleteLove the CAS design and love the purple there cool n sweet card.
I dont know have you ever been in Bali...I love Denpasar ..ok its hot city...but it has nice Airport and you can feel magic if you stay there for some days...Bali is an island that I really love and Denpasar is the city you will arive at the first if you visit Bali..
Big hugs and I joined the party too..hope you like my birthday card Sandie..hugs
Monika
This is such a bold and fun CAS card. Love the shade of purple--a giant scribble. My very favorite city is San Francisco, although I do love London quite a bit as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card! I love New York City to visit! So much to do and see and it all seems so surreal!
ReplyDeleteLove the color on your card - beautiful! My favorite city is Colorado Springs-it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card! My favorite city is Boston because there is so much history there and so many things to do. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to celebrate a birthday Sandie! Your card is a perfect CAS and I guess that's your fav color! ;) My fave city is New York which I want to visit at least once in my life time! :)
ReplyDeleteSuchi xx
Its a very 'Sandie' card alright! All CAS, purple, and awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't really have a favorite 'city' - I live in Bangalore - I used to love it before, but not so much now.. Can it be a town instead - I would definitely vote for my hometown, Mattu! :)
Simple and stunning that is how will describe the card. For me my favorite city is my hometown Nagpur, India. I have been living in different cities since almost a decade now but I have grown up there they say it right home is where your heart is :)
ReplyDeleteLove this card so much. Mine is Liverpool - so pretty and so much to do and something for everyone.
ReplyDeletePretty Card!the city that i love the best is Mumbai,India from where I am as it is so versatile,called the city that dreams and never sleeps and you can find everything that you ever wanted here
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful! Love the CAS design! It's my dream to go to Hawaii with my husband!
ReplyDeleteWow, wonderful! love the splash of color and the bold black of the sentiment! I am not really a city girl, don't like it when it is so crowded and full of traffic, but I have been in London twice and loved the places we visited and did.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing splash of your fave colour Sandie... terrific card, and so beautifully CAS!
ReplyDeleteI've been to lots of cities... I must say a fave that I've visited a couple of times is Sydney, for atmosphere, sights, culture and food!
Happy 2nd Birthday AAA
Chrissie xx
Love the simplicity off this lovely card! My fav city is Washington DC - love the history, museums and beautiful gardens:)
ReplyDeleteGreat use of this stamp! I love the way you stamped it partly off. A very Sandie card! My fave city, this is a hard one.... In Finland my favorite city is Helsinki with all it's cool cafes and restaurants + beautiful outdoor spaces where to hang out... And the presence of the sea is all the time in the air. From places abroad... I think my fave city must be London! I love the mixed atmosphere of London with businessmen, tourists and trendy or bohemian locals... The shops, the restaurants and THE PARKS. Love the parks. Love love love. Oh and I do love Howarths too, the woodwind shop, although they always "rob" me. ;) I also love my favorite Sandie who lives there and her beautiful flat!
ReplyDeleteOh and congrats on being in AAA team now, woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteI loved everything about Savannah, Georgia!
ReplyDeleteGreat card! Love the combo of color and stamps. I have great memories of San Francisco which I guess would have to a favorite but I love to spend time on Captiva Island rather than in the "city". Happy Birthday to all of you at AAA Cards!
ReplyDeleteWow. Love it! My favorite town it's somewhere at the world hihi. Always dreaming of going to NEW YORK. Don't ask me why! DOn't know it Sorry! I live in the Netherlands in my country I love to go to Arnhem time to time, and that's closer by than New York.
ReplyDeleteLovely CAS card! Wow, I'm not sure I can pick just one favorite city because I love so many for different reasons. Some of my favorites in the US are New York, Boston, San Francisco, and Portland. Some of my favorites I've visted outside the US are Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Lisbon. I'll be traveling to Sydney later this year and have a feeling it will be on my list soon, too. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love the gorgeous CAS design and the most stunning magenta colour! Thank you for playing along with the STAMPlorations CAS Challenge. We hope to see you back again soon! Karola, DT, InvisiblePinkCards
ReplyDeleteAlso, my favourite city is Helsinki, I never appreciated my home town until I moved to another country, and now every time I go back I just marvel at the beauty of the city I didn't see before - the sunsets over the sea in the summer or the glistening snow and the beautiful lights in the winter. And now I'm making myself home sick :)
Such a wonderful CAS card. I love the bright purply pink brush strokes off the side, and the bold black sentiment. Hard to pick a favorite city in the US, and I have only been to Canada and Mexico outside, but it has to be New York. Amazing place. Washington, Seattle, and San Francisco are also on my list.
ReplyDeleteLovely purple card... hmmm I guess somewhere in Florida maybe Destin area. I plain ole love the beach
ReplyDeleteThis card is truly "Sandie-style" and I adore it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite city is Munich - it was/feels like home. I love it because it's not too big but there is always something going on all year long. And it's beautiful!
Bright, vibrant, CAS and so you, Sandie! Fave city ... goodness, there are so many ... how about Rome ... it's the eternal city after all! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteLove your CAS card. So bright and pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite city is Mumbai... Because the city never sleeps (I know it's cliched, but it's true) ;)
Beautiful Color you used on your card! My favorite city is New York City. I love the musical theater!
ReplyDeleteVery Sandie signature style card, CAS and purple and fab!
ReplyDeleteFavorite city? Here's the thing. My goal is to visit as many countries and places as I can while I can, so can't revisit all the places I've loved for different reasons. But I have 2 exceptions. Dubai for its east meets west atmosphere and city and beach, 2 in 1! Love visiting Prague, I've lost track on how many times I've been there. Love their rustic cuisine, the ambiance and nice prices. And the architecture is just wow. But Oslo is a city I love to live in. It's by a fjord, lots of nature and never too crowded, there's seldom need to move around to avoid the crowd while walking in the city centre, it's very stress free.
Yes, a Sandie-licious card in every way! Love that bold pop of colour! Favourite city: Bend, Oregon. My husband 'discovered' this fabulous city when he was scouting out US bike races to compete in, which was the Cascade Classic. Our first visit was stellar...and a guarantee that we'd be back again...and again...and again. I LOVE Bend!
ReplyDeleteHugs~c
I was drawn to your card by by that big blotch in magenta no less.
ReplyDeleteI love it, I was surprised I was visiting London. This is such an international hobby go figure. I saw you on mod squad..
Oops, Supposed to say magenta I'm supposed to mention the city I love me that always has to be Paris I would go there every year if I could and stay for half of the year
ReplyDeleteSuper card, gorgeous design and vibrant colours. I'm not at all a city person but my favourite day in a city was when my daughter took us to Sydney when we visited her a few years ago xx
ReplyDeleteBeautifully CAS card, really striking.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite city is Vienna, I love the buildings, the music, the parks and gardens, the surrounding countryside, the food and wine, and the wonderful foodie shopping paradise of the Naschmarkt.
Jane
I love how bright and cheerful your card is! I love SO many beautiful cities! My favorite city right now is the last one I visited, Charleston, South Carolina. It is a beautiful Southern city on the Atlantic coast, with pastel antebellum mansions, horse-drawn carriages, and amazing low country cuisine! Beautiful and romantic!
ReplyDeleteWOW... this is a fun and cheerful birthday card! Love it! Our favorite city is Chicago :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colour on your card. My favourite city is Auckland because it is close to where I live
ReplyDeleteLove your card, so 'you' and perfectly CAS. I think my favourite city I have ever been to is Honolulu as it is the city in which I married my husband :) Hugs Bev x
ReplyDeleteCAS and purple. Love it, Sandie. My favorite city? I haven't been to any overseas but my daughter lives in a suburb of Dayton Ohio and I'd move there in a heartbeat because there is so much to do there.
ReplyDeleteLove that swish of purple! My favorite city is NY...that's where I was born, grew up and where my family is; lots of childhood memories, too!
ReplyDeleteFab card! My favourite city might be Venice..so romantic and indirectly the reason I have moved to Italy..thanks for the AAA party. hugs Blankina
ReplyDeleteWonderful card I love the CAS style you choosed I think that the treasure hunt word is ''challenge'' and my favorite city I think would be New York which I think is fabulous , I hope I will get there someday! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteA true SANDIE card in your unmistakable CAS style! Thanks for the hint ;) - My favorite city, hmmmm do I HAVE to choose one? Perhaps Istanbul - so much to see and do and the food is fantastic!!!! Best Halva, best Baklava and those Mezes - to die for!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your CAS style and I really love your sentiment! NY would be my favorite too--so much to see and do there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet card! I love the CAS style! My favorite city would be Toledo, Ohio because that's where my son and his wife lives and I look forward to going there each spring to visit them! Thanks so much for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteLove this .... fab colour and beautifully CAS. Thanks for playing along with the STAMPlorations CAS challenge xx
ReplyDeleteLove your card . I live in northern Canada , but I love when I go down any where away from the snow.
ReplyDeleteLove your card - as I scrolled through the comments to the end I noticed the term - Sandie-liscious!! That is definitely what this card is!! My favorite city is Seattle, WA!! So many amazing things to do and see there!!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely card. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully purple, Sandie! My favorite city is Rome. You can't turn a corner without your jaw hitting the ground because you see something you read about in art or history class. And a fabulous place to people watch, my favorite pasttime.
ReplyDeleteYour card is CAS perfection.
ReplyDeleteAs for my favourite city, I'm not sure. I loved the few weekends that I spent in Edinburgh with DH. Loved the manageable size and the friendly people. I think I could live there, but the same goes for Sidney, where I stayed with friends who lived there for 4 years. Such a fabulous and multicultural city with beautiful beaches and nature nearby.
Fabulous first 'Sandie' card for your new AAA DT position!! I love New York City, like London you could never be bored and would love to take the kids there one day!!
ReplyDeleteI love Hsinchu, Taiwan. Even though it's hot, super humid and has all sorts of bugs and mosquitos, it's my home. I didn't know how much I'll miss it until coming to the U.S. for college. It's been a year since I've gone back, and I really miss the food, how convenient it is and how cheap things are back in Hsinchu. (excluding crafting supplies, stamps and dies etc. are imported and are so expensive in Taiwan!)
ReplyDeleteQuite an interesting post! This birthday party sounds seems fun-filled and enjoyable. Thanks for sharing these details. I am thinking to host a cute party for my son on his 4th birthday. Planning to book one of party venues in Houston in budget.
