The Paper Players First Blog Hop – and Challenge 32 – Anything Goes – and Blog Candy

Hi Everyone. 

 

Happy Sunday!I'm thrilled that you have popped in to visit me on the Paper Players Blog Hop. Screen shot 2011-01-29 at 8.01.30 PM   
If I am the first stop on your trip around the Paper Players blogs, don't forget to visit the other players and check out their fabulous creations.  Some of them also have blog candy for you!

 

 

I have two projects to share with you.  A 3-D item and a co-ordinating card.  Both of these projects use items from the new Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog

BLOG HOP STOPS

Before I share my projects with you, let me list the blog hop members.  You can click on any of their names to go directly to their blog.  

PAPER PLAYERS CHALLENGE #32

Also, don't forget to join the Paper Players Challenge #32 this week.  It's an Anything Goes challenge.  Yep… anything – a 3D project, a card, a scrapbook page.  You are welcome to use ANY brand of crafting supplies.  We love seeing them all!  All that we ask is that you create a new project for the challenge and put a link on your blog post or social media site back to our challenge post.  Link up your creation.  You are done!  We really hope you join us.

BLOG CANDY

My blog candy for you is a brand new, unmounted hostess set from the current catalog – Silhouette Sentiments.  Along with that is a brand new packet of the fabulous Basic Pearls. You can check out each of these fabulous prizes on the Stampin' Up! website.  All you have to do is click HERE to view the Silhouette Sentiments set and click HERE for the Basic Pearls.  You can't buy the Silhouette Sentiments, the only way you can normally get this set of 8 stamps is buy hosting a workshop valued at $150 or more.

How can you be entered in to win this fabulous blog candy?  Simple, all you have to do is visit each one of the blog hop posts on each of the stops and leave a comment.  That's it.  Visit 9 blogs, look at the 9 amazing projects made just for this blog hop and leave a comment on each of the blog hop blog posts (including mine!)  I will then draw a name at random and do a quick check that the winner left a comment on each blog.  I will cover the cost of the goodies and shipping and handling to anywhere in the US.

Here's my 3D project for you.

Pp323D (1)

 

I decided that I really needed a card to tie into this and used some of the same supplies to create this clean and simple card.  Now, the great think about this XOXO set, is that it is perfect for Valentines Day, anniversary – or any time you just want to tell someone you love them!  It's also perfect for either gender.  A very versatile set.   As for the Glimmer Paper – LOVE THIS!!!!

    Pp32card (4)

Project recipes – all ingredients from Stampin' Up! – all item page numbers refer to the new occasions mini.  Clicking on the highlighted items will take you straight to the Stampin' Up! website where you can see all the details of the individual products.

    I’m commenting on Friday night’s post as well as this one. I’m so glad your two weeks from “you know where” are over. Hopefully you won’t be working another 80+ hour week anytime soon.
    Hooray for Lou coming home! I hope you get some nice quality time together before one of you jets off again–which reminds me, nice miss on that trip to NYC. :o)
    This blog hop is too much fun, and I adore the project and the card. Of all the cards I make, I struggle most with Valentines. I have no idea why, but I do. Hm.
