Hello all! Happy Wednesday. Quickly dropping in today to share a scrapbook page that I created for Spellbinders Idea Gallery



It will always be one of my favorites because it captures a moment between my two daughters on a recent trip to Washington DC.  The journaling: Love makes life beautiful. I love you. I believe in you. Do something nice for someone else. You & me. Embrace. Pieces of life. Joy. sums it all up... the relationship between two sisters in that moment.

My page features a cluster of Bauble Blossoms One and Two die cuts.  The flowers are accented with bling and surrounded by a combination of Nested Leaves and Foliage that are stenciled with ink. The photo is cut/embossed and edged with ink and matted on a Picot Edge Circles die cut to create the vintage look. Washi tape and sentiment stickers finishes off the page.

You can check out a full supply list HERE.  Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Much love for you! Windy

Zva Creative November DT Blog Hop!


Zva Creative and our talented Design Team welcome you to our holiday themed November blog hop!
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.  If you like what you see along the hop you can find a list of stores and online retailers that sell Zva HERE.
Since we are sharing holiday projects today, I thought I'd share with you the holiday cards that I'm making to send out to my friends and family. Here's a little shot of their creation in progress (shhhh... no comments about my messy, inky desk please:)
I'm all about making easy, clean and simple cards when I'm making 50 of them. So I decided to hand stamp my cards with Holly Branch Combo (image) and Wonderful Delights (sentiment) wood mounted rubber stamps from Impress Rubber Stamps. Here's what my finished stamping looks like, all in all I think it took about and hour and a half to complete my stamping.
Now, all it needs is the addition of a little Zva bling to make a pretty ordinary card look pretty fabulous.
What do you think?  I like them both, but I'll be sure to add a few Zva blings to my extra special cards, like the ones for my mom and dad. Here's another where I added a few of Zva's iridescent blings. My philosophy is that you can really add bling to anything... it only enhances it:) 

Anyway, no doubt that we all love bling (you wouldn't be here if you didn't, right?)  so if you would like to play along with our design team today, 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!
The Blog Hop starts today, November 26th and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, November 27th.
***Prizes***
Hidden on FIVE of the designer’s blogs is a Zva Creative prize package! Winners will be randomly chosen after the hop is over. 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.

The 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, November 28th 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 to see if you are a winner!

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 the wonderful Christin Grønnslett. Every time I see her layouts, I think... I wish I could scrap like her! Enjoy!

Thank you for joining us! Much love to you all:) Windy

P.S. Mark your calendar to join us again on December 31st for our next Zva blog hop!
