BLOG HOP INTRO:
Welcome to SOC's 8th Anniversary Blog Hop! I'm glad you stopped by for the celebration! If you're dropping by from Cheryl's blog,(onecraftyncpeach.blogspot.com) then you're in the right place! However, if you started here, you can visit the SOC E:spire blog to join this party from the beginning!

To commemorate Scraps of Color's 8th birthday, I, along with some talented papercrafters, have teamed up to share projects based on the celebrations in our lives. We wanted to have this special blog hop to celebrate this great crafting community where we laugh, play, and create together and encourage and inspire one another. Of course, a blog hop isn't complete without blog candy! There will be giveaways on various blogs throughout the hop! Plus there will be a SOC blog hop gift awaiting one visitor!! To be eligible for that prize, you must comment on all the blogs by Monday, Oct. 8 at 11pm EST. From all who are eligible, one lucky reader will be randomly drawn. The winner will be posted on all the participating blogs on Wednesday Oct.10.

 

The theme of the blog hop is celebration. Scraps of Color started 8 years ago. The group has grown tremendously under the guidance of Tiare, the founder. She is obviously computer savvy, scrapbook savvy and has a great desire to keep the group active. There are many activities in which to participate, swaps, card challenges and even a book group. I have enjoyed  being a member of Scraps of Color. There are many kind and talented members. Everyone is helpful and of course we all enable each other with tips on purchasing supplies. Please enjoy the blog hop and the creations you will get to view. One of my creations is this card. I used Teresa Collins(love her lines) papers. Layering embellishments is very popular technique right now. I love doilies as you will see with my next post, they make a nice addition to your creation.Martha Stewart's butterfly punch, I love it! Has a permanent place on my craft table. Enjoy this card!

Altered art

I made this for a swap with a friend in Texas. She and I are in awe of Christy Tomlinson and her "she" art stamps.

Scraps of Color Blog Hop 10/5/2012 Save the date!

For the first time I am participating in a blog hop. Scraps of Color, an online group is celebrating 8 years of scrapbooking, stamping and fellowship. It promises to be a wonderful event. I am looking forward to seeing everyone's creations. Make sure you leave comments because you just might win a prize!

Have been busy!

No updates in a while, sad to say, but I have been working on some upcoming projects. I am participating in my first blog hop, starting 10/5/2012. The blog hop is in recognition of the 8 year anniversary of Scraps of Color. I will also be offering a prize, for those who leave comments on my blog during the blog hop. More details to come as it gets closer. I am also teaching a Christmas card class on Thursday at Scrappin Time, my local scrapbook store. Since I am addicted to Authentique, the cards are made with their " Festive" Christmas line. I will post them after the class.

I won a challenge!!!

I just received  notice from www.memascrafts.blogspot.com that the card that I entered into the just words challenge was randomly selected as a winner. Too excited. I chose digi images from Mo Manning. Have not had much experience with digi stamps but I suppose it is time for me to learn! The card above is my winning creation.
