Zva Creative October DT Blog Hop!

It's time again for the Zva Designers to join together to share a project that we have created using some of our favorite Zva Creative products. I am hoping that you will take some time to join us for a little bit of fun again this month!

The Blog Hop begins at Kim Hughes' blog. She 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, 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 5 of the blogs is a Zva Creative prize package ...YAY! Those blogs 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 now and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, Oct. 26th and the 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, October 27th on each of the five winning blogs. The full list will be found on Kim Hughes‘s blog as well (linked above). 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 project I'd like to share with you today combines ZVA's gorgeous rose blossoms with their delicate pearl flourishes. LOVE the softness of these embellishments!

I used some of my famous crochet doilies for the page as well to help bring in the 'white' tones to the otherwise cooler blue and black shades. The papers are from Bo Bunny's Whoo-ligans collection.

The music paper was sourced from my local thrift store. Thrift stores are fantastic for finding 'treasures' to use in your craft projects. This music book was $1.00 and there are several hundred pages that can be distressed (as I have done), inked, altered, etc.

The flourish is one of the new releases from ZVA and includes a butterfly at the top of the embellishment. For my page, I found that using the flourish upside down worked better. I cut the butterfly wings and used in the centre of my leaves.

October Giveaway!

Here we go - a titch late but better late than never right??

You know the drill by now. Leave a comment on this post, become a follower if you aren't already and I'll draw one lucky winner to receive all of these nummy goodies on November 1st.

Ohhh I see some Bo Bunny Winter Joy papers, cardstock stickers and Epoxy Brads, some ZVA Creative felt flowers...

OOOOOHHH Petaloo flowers and their new Dazzlers!

Brand new ZVA Creative flourishes - yummo!

Good luck ladies! Enjoy your Sunday!

It's About That Time...

Yep.... my blog has been looking a little bare lately - what could be missing I thought?

Another giveaway of course!!

I'll be back later today after I raid my stash - I'm thinking some Bo Bunny, Petaloo and ZVA Creative. Goodies?????

For now, I'd like to share a layout that I created for ZVA Creative. Their gorgeous new releases are just crazy beautiful!! The colours in this crystal flourish are a deep orange/rust mixed with chocolate brown - SOOOOO rich!!

I paired with Bo Bunny's Cambridge Collection which I adore!! The normally grungy, masculine papers are easy to transform with a little lace, doilies, bling and blooms. Don't shy away from typical themey papers - just alter them to suit your needs!

ZVA Creative's beautiful rose blossoms were the perfect accent for this layout. Love the new colours - any colour you can possibly think of they have in four sizes of gorgeous roses.

Thanks for stopping by today. Will be back with some goodies for you a little later!!
