My Creative Time October Release Blog Hop and Giveaway!!!


*** GIVEAWAY ALERT ***
Today's giveaway is the set I am showcasing in my layout, Cherish This Moment!  All you have to do is leave a comment here and follow my blog by Sunday midnight to be entered in the drawing. You'll love this set, guaranteed.  
EASY PEASY!!! GOOD LUCK! 




I also used the XL label and new label border dies on this layout. They are so versatile, you really need the die and borders set. I'm not kidding. ;)


And my layout. Please excuse the wonky stitching....the plaid paper is not crooked like this in real life. Not sure how that happened but I hope it won't detract from the awesome stamps I'm showcasing today. Also the pearl bead shifted as I was squishing the lumps in the scanner, so I've fixed that as well. The title, Life is Beautiful, and journaling lines are both part of the Cherish This Moment set that you could win. FAB! This is grandgirl, Grace, on one of many camping trips. 







Flower embellishment. As you probably know by now, flowrs are one of my most favorite things to make. :) For this one, I used Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die by Sizzix. "G" tag for Grace.



Ok, so here's the line up! You're near the end if you started here, so be sure to hop back up to Emma's blog at My Creative Time to start at the beginning.  



*Please note, if you have bookmarked Veronica's blog previously, she has a new URL
so you'll need to make that change to keep up with her gorgeous work. Thanks!
