Here are my creations from this amazing kit:

First up, here is my take on this month's sketch. 

 

Secondly, I wanted to create something totally different so I created a layout with lots of mists and inks and embellishments.  What do you think? (Original is below...)

 

Here are a few close ups of my page.  Lots of layers. I also added in some eyelets and a few metal pieces from my stash.  Otherwise, all you see here is from the kit - but just majorly altered!

Zva Creative August DT Blog Hop!

Zva Creative and our talented Design Team welcome you to join us for our August Blog Hop! We are happy to have you join us and hope you enjoy all that we have to share with you along the way!

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. We want to make sure that they shine bright for you, so each designer was will be sharing a creation using a specific color or color combination on their blog hop project. If you like what you see you can find a list of stores and online retailers that sell Zva HERE.

I've used the beautiful papers from 7 Dots Studio's Hopefully Collection - ADORE the softness of this line!

The wonderful Chipboard Title is from Imaginarium Designs - amazing chippies of all sorts!!

 

If you would like to play along with our design team, 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!

Hidden on FIVE of the designer's blogs is a Zva Creative prize package! Winners 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 today, August 27th and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, August 28th. 

The 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, August 29th 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.

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.

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 Teri Anderson. Enjoy!

Thank you for joining us!

P.S. Mark your calendar to join us again on September 24^th for our next Zva blog hop!

Your Smile

Bo Bunny had a fun challenge on their blog last week. The designers were asked to create a layout using only the following supplies:
3 Sheets of patterned paper
1 Sheet of cardstock
1 Package of stickers
1 Package of embellishments
You need not use the entire package of embellishments or stickers - the extras could be used to make cards, tags or even another layout, but you were limited to using only the supplies above.

For my layout, I used Bo Bunny's Apple Cider collection as I loved the bright and cheery colours.  The only things I added to my project were inks and stamps.
