Thank you so much for your visit today!! I promise not to be such a stranger!

Creating Keepsakes Guest Blogger

Whoohoo! It is with great pleasure that I announce that this week's guest blogger over at the Creating Keepsakes Blog is... little old ME!  What an absolute honour to have the opportunity to contribute to this very special Steampunk Post for Creating Keepsakes and Graphic 45!

I wanted to share with you today, a few small peeks of the layout that I created using the Olde Curiosity Shoppe Collection. Within this beautifully vintage collection, you will find yourself surrounded with amazing imagery; oddities, trinkets, vintage treasures, fashion and more – all the wonderful things one would find at a flea market or thrift store and perfect to incorporate into all your Steampunk projects.

To see my entire layout and to learn some fantastic tips and techniques, head on over to the CK blog!! And... if you want to get your hands on this amazing Graphic 45 prize pack worth over $65.00, you need to leave a comment!

Thank you so much for popping by today!  Good luck!

Zva Creative September DT Blog Hop!

Zva Creative and our talented Design Team welcome you to join us for our September Blog Hop! We are happy to have you join us and hope you enjoy all that we have to share with you along the way!

 

The Blog Hop begins at Zva Creative's blog! Be sure head on over to check it out! Leave a comment there for a chance to win an extra prize package just for visiting the blog and telling us that you stopped by! 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 Creative 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 will be sharing 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.

My ZVA Colour this month was red so I chose the bright and happy Alora Collection from Bo Bunny to coordinate with my red flowers and newly released red bling from this past CHA.

 

To add a little more texture to my project, I added a little gesso paint around the edges of my papers as well as directly applying it to my flowers and leaves.  You can also use gesso or even white paint as a nice whitewash to tone down any particulary loud patterns or colours in papers that you would still like to incorporate into your projects.

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. Hidden on FIVE of the designer's 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, September 24th and runs through 11:59pm US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, September 25th.

 

The 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, September 26th 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.

 

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.

 

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.

*Hop over to Zva's blog and leave a comment there to tell us that you made it there!

The blog hop begins here at Zva Creative's blog. Your next stop is Nicole Martel. Enjoy!

 

Thank you for joining us!

 

P.S. Mark your calendar to join us again on October 29^th for our next Zva blog hop!
