Farewell Hop

Let me just say, and I'll try not to get too long winded and mushy and stuff, that my time on the My Creative Time Design Team has been so rewarding in so many ways. Wonderful products to work with, an awesome boss, and so many great friendships have all been just a few of the blessings I have enjoyed as a result. This team has been amazing and the talent so incredible, I have been so lucky to be a part of it. I will miss the closeness!!! If my lucky star still shines above my craft room, I will be back again with more fabulous projects using Miss Emma's fabulous products in the coming year. ♥

Welcome to our Farewell Blog Hop, to HONOR and send off our current design team in a fun way. Since all of us have become friends, we are doing our LAST blog hop together making it a Friendship theme. I hope all of YOU thoroughly enjoyed this team as much as we did! Since this is a special day, there will be a giveaway at EACH STOP! That means a total of 19 giveaways! All you have to do is leave your comments, along with your email address so we can contact you, in order to qualify. Emma will announce all the winners on Monday, December 23, on her blog. This is the set you can win by commenting on my blog today:


ALSO
SALE ALERT beginning Friday, December 20 and ending at midnight PST Sunday, December 22,

Ok, now for the bittersweet stuff. My friendship themed farewell project. I used the Love Collage background stamp that is the giveaway on my blog today on my card, and for the candy tube label. 


For these adorable candy labels, I used the circle die from the Build a Banner Die Kit and stamps from Lots of Love, 100% Sweetness, and Happy Mail stamp sets. Aren't the adorbs!

I recycled this washi tape container that was originally filled with My Mind's Eye decorative tapes. I cut the hanging loopy thing off the top using a wire cutter, and removed the label. For my label I layered the large and medium bow dies, Love Collage stamp and added layering stitched hearts. Cute!

Here I used the mini frame, new Square Stitched Goody Dies, and image from the We Are Family set. The mini tags are from the Chunky Jar Accessories dies and stamped using Love Collage and Small Talk. Flags are from the Vintage Label and banner dies and Chocolate Greetings die.

Here's the hop line up if you get lost along the way. :)
