Zva Creative May DT blog hop

Zva Creative and our talented Design Team welcome you to join us for our May 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 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.

My colour focus for May was PINK, soft pink or rosy pink. I have used these beautiful roses from Zva Creative, along with the Rosy pink crystal flourish for my envelope card. ( I plan to do a step by step tutorial for this card and post it here on my blog, very soon )






If you would like 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. Be prepared to be inspired along the way!
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, May 28th and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, May 29th.
The 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, May 30th on each of the five winning blogs. The full list will be found on Zva'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 blog 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 super talented


  Enjoy!
Thank you for joining us!
P.S. Mark your calendar to join us again on June 25th for our next Zva blog hop!

MHC and My Creative Sketches

Goodmorning, I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend, wherever you are. Its a cold one here in Victoria, but it is winter in a few days, so sadly, we cant expect much different.
Today I want to share with you a LO I did of our brand new baby niece, Amelia. Isnt she adorable?. She was born in March, and her and her Mummy and Daddy are living in the US at the moment, so we havnt met her yet :(.
I made this LO for them, and plan to frame it, and send it to them as a gift. I used a gorgeous sketch from  MY CREATIVE SKETCHES  as my inspiration, and once again ive used the way too cute Graphic 45 'Little Darlings' papers, along with these stunning Manor House Creations flowers.




Thankyou to everyone for visiting me, and an extra big thanks for those who take the time to leave me a comment.
I will be back plenty in the next little while, I have lots to share, so please call in again soon...

MHC and Once Upon A....Sketch

Hi, and happy Sunday to everyone :)  I hope you are all having a lovely weekend. I had a little time to play yesturday, and decided conbine my Design team work at Manor House Creations with this gorgeous sketch from Once Upon A .... Sketch.

Heres the journalling criteria....

'We would like you to create and layout and interpret the theme 'Mum' however you like based on the following sketch. You can journal as much of as little as you like'.

And heres the sketch

 
I chose to do a layout of my Mum, using these gorgeous MANOR HOUSE CREATIONS flowers, and stunning papers from The Scrapcake called 'My Private Happiness. Both available HERE

 


Ive used lots of fussy cutting, and yes, lots of punches, and dies ( my LO's wouldn't be complete without these )

The quote reads

' A Mother is someone who can take the place of all others, but who's place no one else can take'

Isnt that true :)

thanks for calling in, and thanks so much for leaving me a comment, I love to read them xx
