SOC Anniversary Blog Hop

Celebrate Sistahood Blog Hop In honor of Scraps of Color's 7th Anniversary, myself along with some talented papercrafters, have teamed up to honor and celebrate sistahood and the wonderful women in our lives who make us laugh, cry, shout, scream, play, live. We honor through our creativity and sharing our stories during this blog hop. Each sistah blogger will inspire you with her creativity and will also be offering up some blog candy! What is blog candy you ask? It's a giveaway! So sit back and get ready to be inspired with the Celebrate Sistahood Blog Hop. Just start here, check out what I've created, follow the rules for entry and then move on to the next blog hop participant for your chance to win again and again. Be sure to visit each blog between Friday, October 21 and Sunday, October 23 for more inspiration and chances to win. This hop closes on October 23, 2011 11:59pm est. Winners will be posted on each blog on or before October 28, 2011. So be sure to check back!



For this hop I created an 8x8 LO using a photo from a recent scrap-cation that I went to in Hagerstown, Maryland. We had so much fun scrappin', learning, chatting and eating that some of us barely went to sleep! I created an 8x8 LO because this LO will also be included in my Mirror Mirror Challenge album. I have met some special sista-friends as a result of scrapbooking. Scrapbook friends are a cut above the rest!



Now what's a hop without blog candy? Feast your eyes on this wonderful Colorbok Nature's Garden Theme scrapbooking kit. It includes over 200 pieces which includes an 8x8 album, stickers, paper, tags and other embellishments. All you need to do to qualify to win this wonder blog candy is to leave a comment on this post, post will be accepted until the close of the hop on October 23 11:59 pm est.


Now just hop on over to the remaining blogs for some great inspiration and the opportunity to win some scrappin' goodies.

Retreat Projects

Today I'm sharing two of the 'make and take' projects that we completed at the retreat earlier this month. The mini door hanger was made using CTMH products including the new cricut cartridge. This was my first time using a quilling tool for the formation of the flowers, tweezers will work just fine too! The other project was glass etching, this was the second time I tried etching. I like the end result better this time. Thanks to Sharon and Lisa for providing the supplies and leading the demos!
