Seasons Givings Blog Hop

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Welcome to the Seasons Givings Blog Hop! I'm THRILLED to be a part of this hop with sooo many wonderful crafters!! A big thanks to Latisha Yoast for organizing!

I want to thank those who have visited my blog this past year. I know I was a slacker once the summer came and then in the fall when I started my Stella & Dot business. I kept saying my stamps must think I'm cheating on them with jewelry. But I am super excited to be a part of the Stella & Dot team and working in 2014 to get more hostesses for Trunk Shows. I would love for you to swing on by and check it out and like my Stella & Dot Facebook page and tell your friends. For my blog followers (U.S. Only) who place an order in January I am offering free shipping, please contact me to take advantage of that offer.

So because of that some crafting took a backseat but in the last week or so I got creative with a bunch of cards and layouts. I want to get back in the saddle and craft and create more and this was a great way to get started. Here's hoping I will get some chances to be more involved with some Stamp Companies and challenges in 2014!

As a thank you for those who have visited when I posted this year I am giving away a few things:

I will pick an official winner for this stash of stuff on January 6th, so be sure to leave me a comment for your chance to win.

Now onto a few projects I created to share in this blog hop:

So this year I attempted to do Project life. I did get it done through about June and then summer kicked in and that's when crafting went haywire for me. SOO come December I wanted to do a December Daily. Last year I did it 8 1/2 x 11 style and finished the month and have a big binder full of simple but fun daily pages. So this year I decided to again go simple but used an art journal instead and do it a little more mixed media style. Again in a somewhat simple format so I can make fast pages. Here are two I just made the other day using mostly Unity Stamp Co Layers of LIfe stamps:

Next I wanted to share with you two wedding cards I made. In my Etsy shop this year I had one black and white wedding card I made which did really well. I decided to try and make a few more to post:

I used my Silhouette finally to cut the couple image and Stampin up dies to cut the heart.

Next I'll share a simple 12x12 layout I just did using Webster's Pages:

Finally I created this box using the K-Cup box from Trader Joe's. The stamp is Unity Stamp Co and the fancy embellishments is Webster's Pages and Ribbon from SU. This makes a cute stamp storage box which currently is holding some of my Layers of Life from Unity Stamp Co.

Now it's time to continue on your way through this amazing blog hop!!
