It's a Blog Hop!!!

Thanks for joining me today.  We have a blog hop that starts today and will continue for 2 weeks.  We would love to have you join us.  There are tons of wonderful projects on each of the DT blogs.  If you scroll down, you will see an order list for visiting the blogs.  

If you have come here from Zoe's blog, you are on the right track.  Make sure you started at the QKR Stampede blog.  If you haven't, go back and start at the beginning.  You don't want to miss anything.

There will be 4 prizes given away at the end of the two weeks.  2 winners will be chosen from QKR Stampede and 2 winners from Eureka.  Each winner will win 2 images of their choice from the store.  

In order to win one of the prizes there are 3 rules: You much comment on each blog, you must use a QKR Stampede or Eureka image, and you only have until September 12th  to enter your project.  The only other rule we have is to have fun and enjoy some eye candy as you hop along.

I used this sweet image called Summer Treat and it's digi #14102 in the QKR Stampede store.

I colored this image with the new Spectrum Noir Pencils.  Oh my, how I love them.  I had been using Crayola for so long, it's nice to use a better quality. I would compare them then the Prismacolor pencils. I have a few Prisma's and the Spectrum Noirs are just as good in quality.

I used cardstock from Stampin' Up and Recollections and paper from DCWV.  The sentiment is from Jillibean Soup.

New Challenge at MFP Simple Salutations

Good Morning.  Thank you for joining us at Simple Salutations this week.  We have a great theme this week.  Since school has already started for some and will be starting in the next few days for others, we have decided on at "FAVORITE SCHOOL SUBJECT" theme.

You have a chance to win the "I'm in Stitches" stamp set this week.  This is the stamp set that I used for my card because my Favorite Subject in school was Home Ec.  Next to History, this was my favorite.  All the sewing, cooking, child care and finances we learned just made my day.

I learned to sew on a machine like this.  The first memory I have of crafting is my Grandmother teaching me to sew clothes for my Barbies.  She had a Singer sewing machine just like this.  It had a pedal that sat on the floor and if you weren't careful, your finger would find it's way under the needle.  Thank God I never did that.

We can't wait to see what y'all create for this challenge.  We really would love for y'all to join us.

Have a wonderful day and God bless!

Midway Post Challenge #17 Open Minded Crafting Fun

Good Morning, friends.  This post is going to be very short as I am walking out the door to take my daughter to her last twirling parade of the season.

I have used an image from Milk Coffee named Madeline to create my card:

Thanks for joining us.  Have a wonderful  day and God bless.

Digital Stamps 4 Joy Challenge #99

Happy Hump Day folks!  Welcome to a new challenge at Digi Stamps 4 Joy.  We are so happy to have you join us this week.

Our theme for this week is: Circles

This challenge will run for 2 weeks, until September 2nd.  We would prefer you to use a DS4J image, but it's not required.  In order to win the DT choice prize, you must use one, though.

I used "Mini Mermaid Hugs" image to create my card.

To create my circles, I used my circled dies and my Cuttlebug and randomly placed different size dies on a piece of pink cardstock.  I then backed them with glitter cardstock in green and blue.  I thought they looked like bubbles.

Thank you for joining us for our challenge.  Have a wonderful day and God bless.
