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. There are 19 design team members, so 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.
This Blog Hop runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, July 20th and the 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, July, 21st on each of the winning blogs and the full list will be found on Kim Hughes‘s blog (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.
Today I'd like to share with you a project I created with my dd and my dh. I must confess she is a true daddy's girl. I adore this photo of the two of them - such a size difference - she looks so delicate in his arms.
I love the fact that ZVA offers bling in unique colours. The soft browns complimented the photo wonderfully yet still stood out against the patterned papers.
I used papers from Graphic 45's Le Romantique Collection. Adore this line - very soft palette and so easy to work with - fussy cutting options galore!
For my title I've used Tim Holtz's Grungeboard alphas. I love this little minis as I always seem to be out of the letters I need for the perfect titles! No more 'e' or 's' or 'h'... GRRR What do you do with all your leftover alphas!? Anyhow, these are great as you can ink/mist/ paint/alter any way you like - to match your project. For mine, I ended up using some distress crackle paint in Vintage Rose.ZVA Creative Products Used:
Self Adhesive Pearl: PE-02CB-130
Self Adhesive Pearl: PE-02CB-147
Please hop on over to see Kim Moreno.
Thank you SO MUCH for joining us!!
