Yay, I love the first post of a new year, so here I am blog friends, and here you are too. I guess that means the year is off to a great start!! What better way to start a new year off than with a blog hop to celebrate some new stamps!! If you got here from Graces blog, then you are in the right place – if not, you may want to zip right over to the ODBD Blog so that you can get your bearings. As is normally the case with our hops there are prizes!! The Hop will run from Jan 1 at 8:00am EST to Jan 2 8:00pm EST – with winners being announced on January 3. Tell them what they will win Vanna!! There are Three Prizes of $20.00 Gift Certificates each and one Grand Prize of a $75.00 gift certificate all toward stamps in the ODBD Store! Simply leave a comment on each of the designers blogs and the ODBD Blog and that will put you in the running.
For my project today I was feeling vintag-y. I cut a digital piece of paper and rimmed it with a Gold Leafing pen before adding a Lace skirt; I tied silk ribbon around the lace skirt. I backed the focal panel up with a border from a Martha Stewart Punch. My sentiment is cut from ODBD Antique Labels and matching stamps – Antique Labels Designs, then I used a wedding sentiment from All Occasion Sentiments. So now to get to your next stop on the blog hop, you’re off to visit with the ever so sweet Sandee!!
By the way, if you didn’t read my post from yesterday, then you’ll want to know that something special is kicking off here on my blog at Midnight tonight (wink-wink). You will not want to miss it. Now with a hint like that you just know it has to include something spectacular. I’m sooooo stinkin’ excited.
Hope you make your way back – whew, it’s busy in blogland today :-)
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Antique Labels Designs, All Occasion Sentiments Paper: Digital Paper, The Paper Company Ink: Versamark and Gold Embossing Powder, Accessories: ODBD Antique Labels, Martha Stewart Punch, May Arts Silk Ribbon, Lace, Rose, Recollections Flat Pearls, Gold Leaf Pen, Bow Maker |
