Zva Creative January Blog Hop!


Happy New Year to you! Zva Creative and our talented 2013 Design Team welcome you to our January blog hop! We are very excited about month's hop and are excited to share our new work with you!

Today's Blog Hop begins at Zva Creative's blogBe sure head on over to check it out! Since many of us live in different time zones around the world, you will 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 for 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.

So what did I create?  A Valentines Candy Dish
This month, I am showcasing the lime/olive crystals.  I decided to make a vintage style candy holder  for Valentines Day filled with candy kisses for my Sweetheart.  The candy holder is an old peanut container that I repurposed. 

These are the ZVA products used on my project. 
ZVA -CRX-05CB-107 - Flourish Lime/Olive Crystal ( used on the lid of the candy dish)
 ZVA CRS-05CB-117 -Flourish Lime/Olive Crystal  (on the side of the candy dish)


In this photo, you can see how nicely the flourish wraps around my candy dish.  The olive/lime crystals are great for making anything feel vintage yet still dressing up your project with pizazz and flair.  Subtle yet showy - if that makes sense.  In my head, it makes perfect sense.


This is how my project started...after I finished the jar of peanuts.  YUM




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 be inspired along the way!
The Blog Hop starts today, January 28th and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, January 29th.
***Prizes***

All you need to do is leave a comment on this Blog Hop post... you do not need to leave a comment on each and every designer's blog post to qualify. However, the more times you comment along the blog hop path, the more chances you will have to win.

The 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, January 30th on Zva Creative's blogWe will do our best to notify each winner, but it's best if you can pop in to Zva's blog on Wednesday to see if you are a winner!
