Kids Blog Hop

Hello everyone and welcome to the first ever Kids Blog Hop!!! I thought of the idea of having this hop because Erika's daughter, Ashley, had started her own blog and here it is!! A hop with just kids showcasing their awesome work and Erika and I are the hostesses. You start here and will hop with 11 awesome and talented young crafters and you will finish with Erika!

 We have some amazing sponsors for this hop!!! 

Joy's Life Stamps donated by Abby

Scrappy Mom's Stamps donated by Scrappy Mom's Stamps 

Pink By Design Stamps donated by Sarah

Treasure Box Design Collection donated by Dina 

February Image Collection donated by Kich N Bleus Designs

Peachy Keen face Assortment donated by Peachy Keen

My Creative Time Stamp Set donated by Emma

A Jillian Vance Design stamp Set donated by Jillian

And some of the blogs are having their own giveaways!!! 

How is that for giveaways!?!? Now, what do you have to do??

Since many of these blogs are newer blogs they don't have too many followers. I ask that:

1. Become a follower of all blogs

2. Leave a comment on all blogs! 

3. Make sure you leave a comment at the very end with Erika and let her know that you have completed the hop!

I do ask that if you have kids at home have them sit next to you and look at the awesome creations! Maybe we can inspire more kids to come into this cool bloggin little world we have! If you do have kids (they can be your children, grandkids, nieces, nephews, godchild, any kid!!!) When you leave a comment leave his or her name with their age next to the comment. Now, if you don't have kids don't worry you can still participate! 

We will have 10 WINNERS

LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!

The first young crafter on the line-up is the talented : 

Miss ASHLEY

Throwback Thursday~~ A Walk in My Garden

Hello all!! I hope you are having a nice week! Are you ready for a long weekend?! I know I am! I get to go to visit my family!!! I am sooo happy and excited!!

Today is time for another Throwback Thursday with My Creative Time and this time around you get to dust off "A Walk In My Garden" and use flowers on your project. I don't particularly have that cart, but I did want to make sure I used an older cart. I used Accent Essentials.

For my project I got to use the Paper Princess stamp set. I created a one-page layout about me!! I remember doing a couple of LOs last year all about me, and that was it! Anytime I create layouts is mostly about my kids and family. So this time around it's all about me!!

I got inspired by using Sassy Lil Sketches.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't take this as if I am making fun of ANYTHING! 

This is all fun and I don't want to upset anyone.

I used one of my favorite stacks from DCWV, Mi Casa.

Make sure you go visit My Creative Time and take a look at the wonderful creations Emma and the other DTs have created .

Thank you very much as always for taking a peek and leaving your beautiful comments!

Those words you leave here are what feeds me to keep creating!

Gracias

It's My B-Day and I Quill If I Want To Blog Hop

Happy Tuesday everyone and welcome to the "It's My Birthday and I Qill If I Want to" Blog Hop!!! Linda from Crazy Quilling invited me to her birthday hop!!! Thank you Linda and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! and if you guys just came from Nikki, you are heading on the right direction! But, if you just came to my blog, then head on over to Linda (the birthday gal) to start the yummy hop!

If you have not visited Linda before, you have been missing out!!! She does quilling and it is beautiful!!!!! Now, I tried looking for supplies and tools and had NO luck... then, decided to try it by hand... ha! that was not good!!! So, I decided to make a cupcake and try "quilliing" with fondant! Well, not necessarily quilling, but it's rolled fondant!

Here is my project!

Want some candy?? No, I can't send you my cupcake! It's long gone!!

How about the newest collection from Kich N Bleus?

One lucky person will win the new February collection!!!

All you have to do is leave a comment telling me if you have ever tried quilling or if this is the first time you heard of it!

Thank you so much for hopping with us!!
