Zva Creative Blog Hop

Our First Zva Creative Blog Hop!

I am excited to be part of the Zva Creative DT! We are joining together today to share a Christmas or Holiday Tag that we each created showcasing the beautiful products that Zva has to offer. I am hoping that you will take some time to join us in a little bit of fun!

The Blog Hop begins at Kim Hughes' blog. She is linking to one of the designers and that designer is linking to the next and so on. There are 12 design team members, so be prepared to be inspired along the way. Hidden on 5 of the blogs is a Zva Creative prize package! 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. Our team is so wonderfully diverse, so we are hoping that you will discover a talent that you have not been aware of.

This Blog Hop runs through midnight on Tuesday, December 8th and the 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, December 9th. 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 blog post to qualify. The more times you leave a comment, the more chances you will have to be one of the winners.

I created a Christmas tag for this Blog Hop. I used a pearl snowflake combined with Cuttlebug's Ice Crystal die. The Zva Creative snowflakes are perfect for a Christmas or winter themed card. The pearls come from the 12" Double Chains strips.

Got Sketch? 93, and a Gift Tag

Today Sketch 93 is posted on the Got Sketch? blog and I was asked to contribute to this sketch. I love Valerie Salmon's sketches. They are a great source of inspiration. Hop on over to the Got Sketch? blog to view the cards by the other talented girls. Here's my take on Sketch 93.

Today I went to the Kreadoe, a crafts fair in Utrecht. I went with my mom, her friend Bep and my sweet friend Hanneke. We all bought some great goodies, and had a wonderful time. Hanneke and I also met some girls that we know through forums and it is always nice to meet them in person. We went home again around 4pm.

Have a wonderful day!
