Love is in the air and the Challenge Masters Divas are celebrating by having a blog hop!
The hop is going to run from Friday, January 28th until Sunday, January 30th. And, we have lots of prizes, fun and inspiration in store for you this weekend!
If you have arrived from Marianne's blog you are right on track. For those of you who just popped in and you want to start at the beginning then head over to Tammy's blog to get started.
Collect all the secret words!
That's right.
Each Diva has posted a secret word on her blog.
All you need to do is collect all the words,
rearrange them to form the secret phrase,
and then send your answer to tealeaf@shaw.ca
to be entered to win one of TWO amazing Grand Prizes!
Here's MY secret word:
In addition to the incredible Grand Prizes, each Diva is giving away blog prizes as well. So, make sure you HIT all the blogs and leave some LOVE so you'll have multiple chances to win!
Another way to win, is to create your own LOVE inspired project and upload it to the 'Love Is In The Air' album in the Challenge Masters Gallery before Sunday, February 13th. Remember it can be anything you love ... a person, a place, a thing, a hobby..whatever inspires you. You won't want to miss a chance to win a fabulous prize package so enter as many times as you'd like. Just make sure you create a new project with each entry! Then, after careful deliberation the Grand Prize winner will be announced on the Challenge Masters blog!
I've been having a blast serving as the ScrapLift Diva for the past couple of months. There's so much inspiration to be found on all the scrappy blogs out there. Recently, I clicked on Julia Stainton's blog, via SplitCoast Stampers, and was immediately drawn to her page title here.
And, although it wasn't done for ANY challenges, I was inspired to create my own 'Always' page.
it's funny how things happen. I ran out of white thread a week or so ago and my sewing machine has been sitting 'threadless'. But, I tried using the naked needle treatment on a card recently and loved how simple it was and how cool the piercing looked. So, I ran the background red cardstock through my machine, piercing a double border along the edge.
I love adding layers and textures to my pages. One of my favorite techniques is to use painted cardboard as a photo mat. I recently shared this technique with my blog readers. In case you missed it you can find it here. Super easy to do and I love the dimension it adds to layouts!
What a fun project to work on! It's nice to be reminded that no matter what, I'll always have a Valentine.
HEY!
You wanna win a prize?
How about a Basic Grey Grab Bag full of FIFTY delicious Basic Grey patterned papers?
All you have to do is look here. Then leave a comment and tell me which one is your favorite ... and why. Simple enough, huh! Your name will go into the cute Valentine mailbox, seen here .... and one of my beloved Minions will choose the winner!
Really happy you took the time to stop by today! But, I know you're busy and you've got LOTS of hopping to do!
Here's a little sprinkling of creative magic to take with you!
Now you are off to Anne's blog for some inky-finger happiness
and more creative LOVE!
Wow and awesome mailbox and rak you are giving, of course how could I pick a favorite but I loved all the pink ones.
