Doodle Pantry 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop

Good morning and WELCOME to the Doodle Pantry 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop! The hop will go from today through November 8 and there will be at least 5 random drawn prizes! The more entries, the more prizes there will be! (one entry per person). We are so tickled to have you all! We are so excited to be showing off one of Doodle Pantry's newest additions to the store...12 Days of Christmas!
We will focus on showing you how versatile the new 12 Days of Christmas image set is, we hope you'll join us!

The set comes in color or can be purchased as outlines only! I chose to use the colored version of the partridge, one of the digital papers in the set, and two of the sentiments! I had loads of fun designing this card and have several other ideas for the set...as I am sure you are going to see from the rest of our DT members! If you have gotten to my from Amy's blog you are on the right track...and should hop on over to Glenda's blog to see what goodies she has for you! The hop order is also listed on the Doodle Pantry blog if you have just happened on my site today not aware of the hop! Thanks for joining in the fun! Have a great day!

HUGS!

FSS Fabulous Fall Blog Hop

Welcome to our Blog Hop!!! Believe me, you are in for one heck of a treat on this hop! If you've gotten to my blog via Robin's blog, you are on the right path! We were challenged to design a creation that uses 2 of the following colors...red, green, yellow, orange, gold or sky blue...and the creation did not have to be a fall design. Now all those colors had me tempted to do a fall design BUT when Tracey created her most recent images, I just had to create with one or more of them! For my creation I used a combination of the Cardinals and Daisies and Blue Jay and Raspberries. I just couldn't pick ONE of those images to work with!! I did a little photo shop magic to combine some of both files into one image. I used the colored version of both files...Tracey's coloring is over the top beautiful. Soooo...now that you know about the card I created, here are some of the deets of the hop!

Along the way, you will be needing to collect a word or two from each blog which will create a secret phrase...my words are A JOY.  To WIN, each hop participant will have a special word/s, collect them up to form the secret phrase! At the last stop of the HOP, there will be instructions on how to make your entry. Blog Hop entry date ends Friday September 30th midnight EDT.

THE PRIZE:

£15 Gift Voucher to Bearly Mine Designs
$10 Prize Package of yummy goodies chosen by Judy from Pizzazz APlenty
$30 Gift Certificate to the Fred She Said Store

Ok...now you know all the deets!! Your next stop on the hop is to Darsie! I am sure she has a beauty to share with you as well! Thanks so much for stopping in and playing along with us! Have a great day!

HUGS!

FSS BLOG HOP!!!

Good morning and welcome to another Fred She Said blog hop! This blog hop starts today and runs through midnight Friday, July 29th EDT. If you got to my blog from Donna's then you are hopping on the right path! If not and you seemed to have lost your way, stop by the Fred She Said blog for the list of participants. The theme for this hop is FAVORITES and Tracey asked us to interperate that as we wish. So, my FAVORITE holiday is the Christmas season and anyone who knows me well KNOWS my favorite season is winter...SNOW, SNOW, SNOW! LOL if I sound like I am out of my gourd, I might be cause our weather has been so horribly hot (heat index 120) that my mind may be fried or dehydrated!! Anyhoo, I chose to cool things down in my mind with the FSS Christmas Cardinal (colored version). I made the white mat with a border punch I had...and no it was not a punch around the page set! Had to do some math to get it to work out but I think it came out pretty even. Once I had my image printed I glitzed it up a bit with some Sakura Stardust Gellyroll pens.  I matted the image with white cardstock cut with the Spellbinders Square nestability and then matted that with red cardstock cut with the Spellbinders Eyelet Squares Nestability. The sentiment was computer generated by myself and cut out with the Spellbinders Ribbon Tab Trio. And all my bling...from the flatback pearls to the Baker's Twine are from Pizzazz Aplenty! The snowflake was cut out using a Cuttlebug die. OK, OK...now that you have gotten through all that you MUST be wondering what the prize is and HOW to qualify!! ONE lucky winner will win:

$15 Gift Voucher to Bearly Mine Designs

$15 Prize Package of yummy goodies chosen by Judy from Pizzazz APlenty

$30 Gift Certificate to the Fred She Said Store
