Zva Creative December DT Blog Hop!

Zva Creative and our talented Design Team welcomes you to join us for our December Design Team blog hop!

As you know, Zva offers 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. If you like what you see, you can find a list of stores and online retailers that sell Zva HERE.

The Blog Hop begins at Windy Robinson's blog. She will have the complete list of all the participating blogs 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! 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, December 19th and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, December 20th.

The 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, December 21st on each of the five winning blogs. The full list will be found on Windy Robinson's blog 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. However, the more times you comment along the blog hop path, the more chances you will have to win.

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 posted on your Facebook page about our hop (link to any of the blog hop posts)
* 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.

So you have FOUR chances on each blog to win one of our FIVE prizes! That's a lot of chances to win!

My project today depicts a photo of me having an everyday moment I suppose during an ordinary day.  I love the simplicity of it and wanted to share something as plain as getting ready in the morning can be just as captivating as a gorgeous photo shot in a professionally set up photoshoot.  I was inspired by Vanessa Carleton's song "Just an Ordinary Day".

The colours I used this month were a combination of cream and green so I layered some of the self adhesive crystals upon the flowers and leaves to help them stand out a little better.

The papers I used for this layout are from Bo Bunny's Welcome Home collection.
The blog hop begins here at Windy Robinson's blog. Your next stop is Lisa Somerville.

Thank you for joining us! Happy Holidays!

P.S. Mark your calendar to join us again on January 30th for our next Zva blog hop!

Believe Mini Album & Altered Art Box

It is high time for another Challenge from 7 Dots Studios; “Cultural Extras”. This time, the air is full of Christmas, and so are our inspirational projects!  What are your traditions, your feelings about Christmas time? What are your first thoughts about it? Our talented Designers are from all around the world, so we are sure that our points of view are a bit different… so let’s take a look into each others the Christmas preparations!

Every year our family puts up all three of our christmas trees and decorates them together! Its so fun but a little chaotic at times. We decided to let the kids have 'their' own tree and mommy can have 'her' tree - that way everyone wins - LOL! I used one of Graphic 45's Altered Art boxes so I've designed a lovely box in which the mini album can be kept.  Here is the altered art box and mini album together.

Here is the inside flap of the box before you open to the mini album inside.

The neat album that comes with the box is a neato accordian album with a total of 8 pages front and back.

Thanks for your visit today!
