Zva Creative March Design Team Blog Hop

Zva Creative and my fellow Design Team members welcome you to our March blog hop! We are excited about month's hop and look forward to sharing our new work with you!

Today's Blog Hop begins at Zva Creative's blog! Be sure head on over to check it out! You will also find a complete list of all the participating blogs there (in case there is a glitch along the way). 

As you know, Zva offers many beautiful color groupings for pearls, flowers and crystals.  If you like what you see along the hop you can find a list of stores and online retailers that sell Zva HERE.

I've had my eyes on these fabby Martha Stewart

chipboard stickers for quite some time and

was thrilled to find them on sale recently.

I built my card around this die cut using MME's

'Love Me' for my wallpaper.  I simply wrapped

seam binding with a double bow for my

'chair rail' and placed my beautiful Zva gem

flourish over the ribbon.

The beautiful sentiment is from The Craft's Meow.

 

If you would like to play along with our design team, 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!

The Blog Hop starts today, March 25^th and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, March 26^th 

***Prizes***

Hidden on FIVE of the designer's blogs is a 

Zva Creative prize package! 

Winners will be randomly chosen after the hop is over. All you need to do is leave a comment on this Blog Hop post... you do not need to leave a comment on each and every designer's blog post to qualify. 

However, the more times you comment along the blog hop path, 

the more chances you will have to win.

The 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, March 27^th 

on Zva Creative's blog.  

We will do our best to notify each winner, but it's best if you can pop in to Zva's blog on Wednesday to see if you are a winner!

We also thought it would be more fun to add even more chances to win our blog hop prize!  To increase your chances of winning:

* Comment to let us know that you "tweeted" about our hop 

(link to any of the blog hop posts)

* Comment to let us know that you asked your local store to carry Zva creative products.  If they already do, that's fantastic, maybe you can suggest other products that they don't carry.

Just for You - Guest Designing with Want2Scrap

Hey hey everyone !

Very excited to share a quick announcement today.

I've been asked to be the August Guest Designer over at

and I can't wait to get started !

I won't officially be sharing a post until later in the month,

but the nice folks over there are introducing me today, so

I thought I would share a quick project using some of the

BEE-autiful product they have provided to me.

I love that pearl flourishes continue to be such a wonderful

accent to cards and that's what I chose to spotlight on this one.

Last week, I mentioned that I was kinda getting back to the

'BOO' idea (you can read about that HERE) so I pulled out

some great papers by BasicGrey for my 'wallpaper' background

that I got from StopandScrap.com

{they have THE BEST prices on all the NEW CHA stuff ! ! }

From there it really was a matter of layering all good things

until I was happy with the result.

I haven't played with a 'shabby-chic' look for awhile,

so it was fun to play with all these great textures.

I hope you will visit the Want2Scrap Blog and let them know

you'll be visiting in August.  I sure would love to have your support !

I'll see you later on tonight with a brand new challenge from

The Play Date Cafe.

Our new designers will be joining us for their first official challenge,

so it's going to be fab !
