Giving Thanks Blog Hop
Today is the day! The Giving Thanks Blog Hop is beginning over at STAMPlorations! There are 38 designers participating, 15 being from various challenge blogs and blog events that STAMPlorations has had the privilege of sponsoring over the last year and a half. As the creator of CASology, I was asked to be a part of this fantastic hop. Of course, I said, “Yes!” I want to be sure and say THANK YOU! to Shery for all her faithful support of CASology! We are so grateful for you!
There are prizes to be won by commenting on the participating designers blogs, plus additional prizes up for grabs by joining in the linky party (see below)! Prize details can be found on the STAMPlorations blog. Commenting ends November 30 at 11:55 p.m. Pacific and the link up is open until November 30.
Winners will be announced on December 9 in the November Challenges and Hops winners post on the STAMPlorations blog. Winners have until December 20 to claim their prize.
I created a clean and simple design for the hop using the new Be Thankful set and coordinating dies! You can purchase these as a bundle in the store!
This is such a heartwarming set! I especially love the stitched details on the die cut sentiment!
Since I’m a CAS kind of gal &, at this stage in my life, have little time to sit and color in detail, I did some selective watercoloring on the main image and love how it turned out! The die cut sentiment is stamped with indigo colored ink (StampinUp!), one of my favorite colors, and popped up with foam dots! The main panel is a stitched die cut rectangle and is popped up with foam dots for a little dimension.
Below is the link up containing all participating designers. Remember, by playing along, you become eligible for additional prizes!
Have fun hopping along and I hope you’ll join in the linky party!
