We'd like to congratulate the FIVE March Zva Blog Hop winners! Their names will be found on the following blogs:
Lou Collins
Camilla Ekman
Angelica Franssen
Windy Robinson
Gail Lindner
One winner from each of the 5 blogs will receive a Zva prize package worth $30.00. Congrats winners!
Zva crystals add the PERFECT touch!! The pearls and flowers made this masculine card...SO pretty!
Thank you so much for hopping along our blog path. We appreciate you :)
Zva Creative and the Design Team welcomes you to join us again this month for a blog hop that we feel is always extra special!
There is now an added twist to our blog hops, YAY! As you know, Zva offers so many beautiful color groupings for pearls, flowers and crystals. We want to make sure that they shine bright for you, so each designer was asked to share a creation using a specific color or color combination on their blog hop project.
The Blog Hop begins here. I will have the complete list of all blogs that are participating in case there is a glitch along the way. If you would like to play along, just follow along the blog path. I am linking to one of the Zva designers and that designer is linking to the next and so on. Be prepared to be inspired along the way. Hidden on FIVE of the blogs is a Zva Creative prize package ...YAY! Winners will be randomly chosen after the hop is over, so it's important to leave a comment on as many blogs as you can along the way.
The Blog Hop starts today, March 28th and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, March 29th and the 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, March 30th on each of the five winning blogs. The full list will be found here as well. We will do our best to notify each winner, but it's best if you can pop in to all of the blogs once again on Wednesday...plus, you never know what kind of inspirational creation that you may find there. All you need to do is leave a comment on this Zva Blog Hop post...you do not need to leave a comment on each and every designer's blog post to qualify. The more times you leave a comment along the blog hop path though, the more chances you will have to be one of the lucky winners.
The blog hop begins here
Your next stop is:Ingrid Danvers

that I host a "ways to use it" challenge at Splitcoast stampers?
If you don't already play along, I hope you think about it if you ever have a crafters block.
My challenge this week...use colored inks...black, white and brown are out!
k, so I am re-thinking the googly-eyes, and the color combo, but I think it's a sweet card none-the-less. Boy, that phrase really doesn't make sense, does it? The butterfly and sentiment are from a brand spankin' new set that will release on April 1st...wooohoooo
*FF When explorers first arrived in Venezuela, they were reminded of Venice. They named the country "Little Venice", which translated into Spanish is Venezuela*
have a terrific weekend!!
much easier than this :)
Tomorrow is the start of Pep Rally week for the April stamp release at Paper Smooches. We have 5 NEW stamp sets to give away during our Design Team blog hop. It starts at the company blog...see you there :)
*FF The English-language alphabet originally had only 24 letters. One missing letter was J, which was the last letter to be added to the alphabet. The other latecomer to the alphabet was U* (thank goodness they were added, without them...juice would have been boring ol' "ice")
xo
Would you believe that I tried on ONE wedding dress and that was the one that I bought? (and it was a smokin hot deal) It is exactly what I envisioned and it is the exact size I needed (well, except it's a little long and my boobs are having a hard time filling up the space) I am hoping that a skirt and my high heels will be enough to raise it off the floor. I will be trying on my wedding dress with the skirt underneath today, hoping that I won't need alterations. I found my dress forever ago, but had to wait on ordering the skirt part. What would a wedding be without last minute stuff? wish me luck :)
*FF Some Ribbon worm will eat themselves if they cannot find food. This type of worm can still survive after eating up to 95% of its body weight* (super ewwwww)
and you? Are you enjoying relaxing days or hectic ones? I would say that I am somewhere in between. I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't have something to do every minute but I am extra busy at the moment. I still take time out to watch Survivor and some movies with my family. Outside of that, I am busy filling orders, prepping for the Paper Smooches April release and getting a wedding put together. No sweat, nothing a few deep breaths can't take care of LOL :) So, my blog posts will be extra short and sweet this month, so please bare with me, ok?
Echo Park goodness :)
*FF The last Olympic gold medals that were made entirely out of gold were awarded in 1912*
xo
wanna get some coffee with me? I wish :)
The sentiment stamp from The Stamps Of Life and a mixture of fun patterned papers. I made the to-go cup form white card stock.
OK, so maybe we can't run out and get a latte together but maybe we can design together. Did you know that we have a Paper Smooches guest designer search every month? You all have the first 2 weeks of each month to show us your best project using either Paper Smooches stamps or our free digi stamps (the February free digis are archived on the left side of the PS blog) All of the details are found HERE
*FF Girls weren't dressed in blue, apparently because people didn't think that evil spirits would bother with them. Eventually, however, girls did get their own color: pink. Pink was chosen because of an old English legend which said that girls were born inside of pink roses* (way cute!)
(smooches)
Have I mentioned to you that I put todether a set of rub-ons/stickers (using some of my favorite fonts) that are being manufactured by EAD Designs? EAD Designs is proudly co-branding with Paper Smooches.
On the first of every month a new set will be released on the EAD web site. They are vinyl, which means the quality is superior! They come in a bazillion colors too...double bonus!! A different theme will be released at the EAD Designs web site every month. The first set was "Thank You"
10% of all sales from the Paper Smooches/EAD Designs co-branded products will be donated to help fight Breast Cancer. It's a cause that's close to so many of our hearts, and it's important that we find a cure together.
The sentiment sets that I put together are not available on the Paper Smooches web site and will not be released as stamps at this time. (not that they won't ever be, but not right now)
Here is a card that uses the clear sticker
and this card uses the same sentiment, but it's a rub-on
*FF During the Civil War, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant believed that onions would prevent dysentery and other physical ailments. He reportedly sent the following message via wire to the War Department: "I will not move my army without onions." Within a day, the U.S. government sent three trainloads of onions to the front* (well, if their guns couldn't kill them, I am sure their breath did)
enjoy your week!
here's a card that I made ages ago that I thought I'd share today. I really do like pins, so I am glad that they still exist and didn't become fossils like so many other fabulous scrapbooking products. I still mourn Scrapworks Waxy Flax (heck, I still mourn Scrapworks, period)
sooo, did I mention that I am getting married? I met the most amazing man 1 year and 4 months ago and we have never been happier. The wedding is in April, so there is still a lot to do, but I am loving it! I will share photos for sure :)
As you know, I stepped down as a Paper Crafts Go-to Gal on December 31st. Since then, I have been able to work with other magazines again. I am honored to be a contributor in a new card book that will be released soon by Scrapbook & Cards Today called: Card Maps Today. It will start shipping on March 21st and you can pre-order your copy today HERE. I can't WAIT to see this book!
*FF About 85% or product warning labels on household products are inadequate* (wonder what they are leaving off)
have a great weekend!
We'd like to congratulate the FIVE February Zva Blog Hop winners! Their names will be found on the following blogs:
One winner from each of the 5 blogs will receive a Zva prize package worth $30.00. Congrats winners!
Zva: PEC02CB106, bulk flowers
*FF The nickname for a Japanese businessmen is "Salarymen"* (super cute)
have a wonderful day!
