Zva Creative October DT Blog Hop!

It's time again for the Zva Designers to join together to share a project that we have created using some of our favorite Zva Creative. I am hoping that you will take some time to join us for a little bit of fun again this month!


The Blog Hop begins at Kim Hughes' blog:. She will have the complete list of all blogs that are participating in case there is a glitch along the way. If you would like to play along, 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 5 of the blogs is a Zva Creative prize package ...YAY! Those blogs 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 now and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, Oct. 26th and the 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, October 27th on each of the five winning blogs. The full list will be found on Kim Hughes‘s blog as well (linked above). 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 Zva Blog Hop post...you do not need to leave a comment on each and every designer's blog post to qualify. The more times you leave a comment along the blog hop path though, the more chances you will have to be one of the lucky winners.

Stacy Julian Meets Core'dinations

and I'm in LOOOOOOVE!

Oh how I love the happy colors in this collection, it goes with everything I want to scrap! fun stuff for sure!

Here are a couple projects I did using this new collection...

I used just the red piece from the collection for this one and sanded just the words that went along with the page I was doing here... Madison wanted a shirt to wear to Grandles game (when they are out of town they don't cheer, only in town games)... I think it's a pretty stinkin' cute shirt and she wears it proudly too! lol

Supplies: Core'dinations Stacy Julian collection, Jillibean Soup patterned paper/corrugated alphas and shapes/ stickers/ button/and journaling spots, Offray ribbon, EK Success border punch.

 Next I really wanted to use all the bright colors on one card so I punched tickets and layered them to create the card below.

Supplies: Core'dinatoins Stacy Julian collection, Hero Arts stamp, Kaisercraft jewel, Storage Unit Inks, Marvy Uchida ticket punch, Offray ribbon, Fancy Pants button.

 Last but not least I love the words on this yellow sheet and wanted to showcase it on it's own on a card..

Core'dinations/ My Stamp Box

Awhile back the Core'dinations team was sent some fun My Stamp Box stamps to work with and I had a blast using them for this fun layout! I knew when I saw the little stamps with the outlined boxes that I wanted to do a grid type layout using them, I used this fun picture of Madison at her birthday party and the cute little sayings just seemed to work for it!

Supplies: Core'dinations cardstock, Jillibean Soup patterned paper and journaling spot, Martha Stewart punches, Bella Blvd. stickers, Sassafras letter stickers, Storage unit Inks, Maya Road stick pin (star), Jenni Bowlin stick pin, My Stamp Box Itty Bitty stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by! I need to stop in with an update.... to say things have been busy is an understatement! I was up to my eyeballs making mums last week for homecoming and then Madison's pep rally is this week so I've been in sign making mode.... after this week it should settle some and I'll share pictures, stories, and projects!!
Have a great day!

I'm your last stop on this wonderful blog hop so head on back to : Kim Hughes


Thank you SO MUCH for joining us!!

Kim who?

that's probably what y'all are saying?
Kim who?
Yeah I know I slacked again.... on the flip side I have been on my sh*t around the house! hehehe... laundry, cooking dinner at night, getting the kids to school etc.... I guess somethings gotta give! LOL

Here is a shot of the kiddos their first day of school! Morgan is a freshman (sigh) now and loving the freedoms he is getting in high school with the off campus lunches etc... Madison is thrilled to be an 8th grader and the "top of the school", Mitchell is pleased as punch he isn't a lowly sixth grader and has some seniority over the new 6th graders being a 7th grader now. The twins Matthew and Makenna are loving getting to see their friends every day and have a set of great teachers! So all in all as the first week of school comes to an end it looks to be shaping up to be a great year!!

oh.. on a side note... have I ever mentioned I am NOT a morning person? yeah... well i'm not... at.all.
and my sweet dear Mitchell has decided he wants to be on the cross country team... which sounds wonderful and exciting for him until he gets to the point he tells me
"oh and mom we have to be there at 6am"...
WHAT?? (Keep in mind we live several miles out of town in the sticks, so it's not around the corner)
-this was the first morning and when I crawl my butt out and get in the car to drive him in he says this "Mom I really appreciate you doing this for me, thank you"...... all is ok then. I was happy to do it for him and he is now officially on the cross country team! lol....

Here are some fun projects I have done for Jillibean Soup for the month!

Supplies: Core'dinations cardstock; Jillibean Soup patterned paper, journaling sprouts, buttons, twine, corrugated alphas, and stickers; Pebbles Inc candy dots.

 I'm off to watch Morgans first freshman football game.... Go Mavericks!! :)

CCG #155

Hi all! Now don't pass out... I do realize this is two posts in one week! heheee!

Here is our inspiration for the week:

and here is my card based on it....

Supplies: Core'dinations cardstock, October Afternoon patterned paper, Bazzill buttons, Coats and Clark String, StudioG stamp, Stampin' Up punch (square), EK Success border punch.

I punched the squares from the cardstock and then used pop dots to bring it up off the base of my card and I slipped the buttons and patterned paper behind it to give it a windows look like the inpiration piece above.

Join us over at the Color Combos Galore blog and play along this week!

Today is short and sweet... I have to CLEAN this house like a mad woman I have company coming in this weekend.

Tomorrow is Morgans first scrimmage and we plan to make a day of it... so excited for football season to start even though it means total insanity around here for me with all the running! Morgan in high school football, Mitchell middle school football, Madison middle school cheer, and Matthew in peewee football and then not sure what Kenna will get into... on top of this gymnastics an hour away once a week...

and I wonder why I visit my hairdresser as often as I do?

Have a great weekend!

Thanks for stopping by! :)
