Happy New Year to you! ZvaCreative and our talented NEW 2013 Design Team welcome you to our December blog hop where we officially welcome our new team members to our monthly hops! We are very excited about this year's team and are sure that you will be inspired by and love their work.Are you ready to hop along and get to know them better?
Today's Blog Hop begins at Zva Creative's blog! Be sure head on over to check it out! You will also find a complete list of all the participating blogs there (in case there is a glitch along the way).
As you know, Zva offers many beautiful color groupings of pearls, flowers and crystals. If you like what you see along the hop you can find a list of stores and online retailers that sell Zva HERE.
Siblings 1966
This is a photo of my siblings and me wayyyyyy back in 1966. I was almost 2. I am the one sucking on my thumb. It was my signature look until I was probably 14 or so. Actually I was old enough to remember how difficult it was to quit sucking my thumb, so yeah, 14 sounds about right. hahahaaaa.
My dad was the photographer and he had a funny way of getting us to laugh. He recently told me that he'd hop around the room and roll on the floor till we all giggled. I count myself lucky that he is still here to answer those kinds of questions. He is still silly that way - though no more rollin on the floor for him. Those days are long gone.
This was created using elements from the Scraps of Elegance Kit that featured the Bo Bunny Little Miss collection.
I blinged up this layout with lots of ZVA. I used the following products:
- CRX-05CB-133 Pink Pearl - at the top right corner. Very delicate and soft.
- CRB-05CA-122 Lavender/Pink Pearl Flourish - at the bottom. I cut this in half to swirl around my doily more closely.
- FL-04CA-102" Flower with Leaves in Pink . I gave the leaves a bit of gesso-ing (yeah I turned gesso into a verb...hahahaha) for a more subtle touch.
- FL-04CA-111 -1.5"leaves- these are found at the top and a few placed around the flower. I also gesso-ed the tips of these leaves.
If you would like to play along with our design team, just follow along the blog path. I am linking to one of the Zva designers and that designer is linking to the next and so on. Be prepared to beinspired along the way!
The Blog Hop starts today, December 31st and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, January 1st.
