I have two posts today, so if you're looking for the Stampin' Up! Only Challenge 13, it's under this post.
Christian Paper Crafts is excited to host a monthly blog hop! We're looking forward to seeing what you create with our monthly Design Team Delights theme sponsored by My Time Made Easy!
Date: February 22, 2011
Time: 8 a.m. EST
Theme: Beat the Winter Blues!
Where: Christian Paper Crafts Creative Blog
We hope you'll have fun getting inky and meeting a lot of new friends along the way! Now for the awesome prizes that you can win! This is the best part.
Christian Paper Crafts Member Prize: Three month extension to your current membership, Blog Hop Winner badge, and Spiffy Scooters by Paper Smooches Stamps. Since I'm a Paper Smooches Club Member, the March release will arrive in my mailbox today and while you're still previewing, I'll be stamping!
Nonmember Prizes: Blog Hop Winner badge and a 1-month General Membership to Christian Paper Crafts.
February 22 Blog Hop Theme: Create any paper project with the theme of Beat the Winter Blues. This may be a card, scrapbook page, altered item, etc., but just as long as there's spring in there somewhere. Use flowers or anything associated with spring on your card or project.
Blog Hop Rules: Create a card, scrapbook, page, altered items, etc., using the same theme that the Design Team Delights Galley has made their projects on for the month. Our monthly blog hops will always be on the 22nd of each month and ends on the 23rd at 11:59 p.m. Winners of the blog hop will be announced on the 25th of each month. It is up to you to claim your prize by the last day of each month by writing to cindy@cpcmag.com and let me know which prize you won.
For all blog hop participants, we ask that please use the Inlinkz to link your project to, which will be at the bottom of the post. If you're a member of Christian Paper Crafts, please put CPCM after your name when you link your project.
Please help us to spread the word and the Word! Simply grab the Blog Hop Code from the Christian Paper Crafts Homepage or the Christian Paper Crafts Creative Blog. Leave this graphic on your sidebar and it will automatically change for you for each month's blog hop theme and graphics. It's that easy!
In order to be eligible for your prizes, you must have the Christian Paper Craft Blog Hop Badge on your sidebar.
My dear friend, Kim Hughes, has started her own stamp company called Paper Smooches Stamps. We have all missed her fun and distinct style for the past few years, but now she's back and better than ever! Her February release is fabulous and I have them! Yay! Paper Smooches Stamps is a full service company with the website offering free digital stamps, an awesome design team and blog full of inspiration and ideas, shaped card templates, gift certificates, gallery, Facebook Page, Cool Shades, Designer Drafts (10 sketches per month), publication incentives, and a very affordable and exclusive Paper Smooches Club where you will receive every new release in your hands a week before they're released to the public.
I used the Flowery Bird and Thanks free digital stamps to thank Kim for her generosity for sponsoring our blog hop. Here's my clean and simple card that I'd like to share with you and see you at the hop!
1. Size and print digital images onto white card stock and color with markers.
2. Die-cut and dry emboss a Fleur de Lis pattern with black card stock.
I'm gonna go hop, because I'm really curious about your CPC website. You are one busy lady!
Super cute card!!! Thanks for sharing!!
WOW Cindy!! That fleur de lis die is gorgeous!! You've made a very country-elegant card. The colors and style of the birdie reminds me of a Swedish painted bread board we got from my great aunt (from Sweden) when we got married.
