Make It Crafty Blog Hop

Brrr... are you as chilly as I am this week?  It has been so cold here in CT but still not much snow around these parts. We are hoping for a white Christmas this year! From the weather report, chances are good! My kids love the snow and everything about it. From making snowmen, to snowball fights, and sled riding at the park (and I love watching them from the warmth of my car with a big thermos of hot chocolate)... ;) hehehe

Well, today I am excited to tell you that  Zoe (from Make It Crafty)  invited me to come HOPPING with her latest images released today!  If you keep on hopping though you will see my other exciting news! I am the 2nd stop on the hop after Zoe's amazing blog. She has released some beautiful Spring and Love themed scenery images that will work perfectly in combination with all your favorite characters.  She sent me this beautiful digi image to work with today called  Ivy Swing and it fit my Magnolia image perfectly.  Here is my card:




What do you think of this peaceful scene?  I used Jam Tilda from Magnolia and I also colored up one of Tilda's Birds which I thought worked well with this Ivy Swing image from Make it Crafty. My papers are by Webster's Pages, flowers  from Prima and Wild Orchid,  Magnolia Doohickeys, and flower brads from SU. I colored my image with copics and for extra shading and highlighting, I used my primsa colored pencils.

Here's a closer view of the image:



I hope you like my card today and can leave a comment.  Please continue on the hop for your chance at winning some fabulous prizes from Make It Crafty. You need to make sure you comment at each stop as there are over $200 worth of prizes hidden at many of the hop stops to be won.  Your next stop on the hop is the lovely Annika

I will enter this card at the following challenges:

Creative Card Crew - anything goes
AiFactory Challenges - anything goes
Cute Card Thursday - one for the kids
ABC Challenge blog - jewels and gems
Stampin Royalty - bring on the bling
Craft Your Days Away - use punches or die cuts
Crafty Emma - anything but a Christmas card

Thanks so much for stopping by today on this very busy Saturday. Take care and big hugs! Stay warm! ;)
