Hi, everyone, welcome to the Seasons Givings Blog Hop, Year 4! I am so excited to be participating this year in this very special blog hop, the sole purpose of which is to thank all of you who visit our sites during the year and who we appreciate so much, whether you comment or just look! To show our appreciation, every single blog on the hop has a give away—to have a chance to win, just visit each blog and follow their instructions.
Before we get to the goodies, I have a card to share with you to welcome in the New Year—Hello, 2016!
I’m using a pile of MFT products on this card. The base has a strip of Sweet Tooth card stock stamped with Bold Diagonal Stripes Background and Black Licorice dye ink. I stenciled some Ranger watercolor paper with Circle Burst Stencil and Peerless Watercolors and stamped Distressed Patterns randomly with Delicata Gold pigment ink.
The sentiment strip is cut from Black Licorice card stock with Tag Builder Blueprints 4 Die-namics, stamped with an image from LLD Friend Request with Versamark, heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, then popped up on foam mounting tape. The numbers are from LLD Stitched Numbers Die-namics, cut from Gold Foil card stock. The sentiment in the lower right is from Hand Lettered Holiday and I finished off with some stars cut with Blueprints 13 Die-namics, Blueprints 17 Die-namics, and Blueprints 25 Die-namics.
As a thank you to you all for visiting my blog, I have a fun assortment of products from My Favorite Things—just in time for some Valentine’s Day crafting. To qualify to win, simply leave a comment and you’ll be eligible for the random drawing.
My drawing will close on January 6 at 11:59pm and I’ll pick the winner and announce who it is on my blog some time on January 7. Please leave an email address in your comment so I can contact the winner. In the event the winner does not respond to me within 48 hours, I’ll pick another winner, so please check back on January 7th.
Here’s the list of all the bloggers participating in the Season’s Givings Blog Hop. Special thanks to Latisha Yoast for giving her time to organize this hop.
