It's a Celebration Blog Hop! 30 June - 1 July!!!

Hi!  Welcome to the Digital Delights "It's a Celebration Blog Hop"!!! This is a 2 day hop to help you get through all 30 of our talented designers, collect your letters, and enter to win the grand prize!

If you came here from Audrey's then you are in the right spot! If you have just come across this posting while browsing around in blog land then start at the top so you don't miss all of the amazing projects!
The theme of this hop is CELEBRATIONS!! At Digital Delights by Louby Loo, we are celebrating the new store! Wendy (aka Louby Loo) just completed the move to a new and improved store! In honor of this, each stop along the way, the designer will have a Digital Delights stamp from their project to be given away. There are amazing sponsors for the grand prize at the end!
This is a hop with a different twist as along the hop there are letters to find in the postings - not all blogs have the letters, but if you gather all the letters then at the end of the hop, on day 2 assemble them to create a Digital Delights related word. You then return to the Digital Delights blog and enter your name in the inlinks at the bottom of the post (do not reveal the secret word yet). After the hop you will be contacted if you are selected at random--at which point you will be asked to reveal the correct word.

Now on to my project(s).

                                 

Here is Luvin' the USA Bongo, waiting for the Parade to go by!!  He is all decked out in his patriotic scarf, and waving Old Glory!   I colored a visor with Copic Markers, spritzed it with Glimmer Mist, and added the stars trim, adhered with a glue gun.  Bongo was colored with Copics and gel pens.  He was attached with Scotch Quick-Dry Adhesive. 

                                          
Here is the visor, along with the insulated cup I did for the Tuesday Tutorial video this week!  Bongo is my favorite Patriotic Pup!!!  I am ready to celebrate the holiday, and I hope you will be, too, with these easy projects.


I will be giving away the following Digital Delights by Louby Loo image which I used to complete my project:

In order to be eligible to receive this digital stamp, please leave a comment, and become a follower if you fancy. In your comment please provide an email address so that you can be contacted when I draw the prize.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you liked my project.
Now back to the hop - I can now reveal my hidden blog hop letter is (F) Remember to collect all the letters from the hop and assemble to form a Digital Delights related word then return to the Digital Delights blog to enter.

The next stop on the hop is: Carley.

Video Blog Hop!

This is a fun new concept in blog hops! I hope you have a soda and popcorn ~ just like at the movies, so you can sit and enjoy the fun and exciting ideas the Designers have to present to you today!

I have created a "quilted" block lamp in very traditional colors for you. I used the Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge, as well as the Cuttlebug foreign Holly and Berries folder, and the one that says Merry Christmas is from Sizzix.



Enjoy the video, and then off to visit the others! Please leave comments, and there will be prizes!

You could also win a Winter Woodland Cricut Cartridge! Leave a comment, and have our blinkie on your blog, and you could be a winner!!

Happy Crafting ~

Festival of Lights

This is going to be a very busy, and very exciting week! You don't want to miss one single day of the Festival of Lights Celebration over at Cuttlebug Challenge. We don't celebrate the Festival of Lights much in the US, but it is a big thing in many parts of the world. Here is a link that you might find very interesting.http://www.everythingesl.net/lessons/light_festivals.php
On Wednesday, we will begin our own Festival of Lights and bring you many wonderful ideas for celebrating with lights! You start with this map, and take a walk in the park, among the twinkling, lighted trees, and see all of the amazing and wonderful things before you .... leave comments all along the way, and you could win awesome prizes!! You don't have to go in any particular order, just download your map, so you can circle the places that you've been, and you have until Sunday night to get everywhere!

I'll see you back here on Tuesday for my Cuttlebug Challenge University class on Copics, and then on Wednesday for the first day of Festival of Lights!!

Cuttlebug Spa Weekend: Relax, Rejuvenate, Be Inspired

Roses are Red, but VIOLETS are Blue
and with this BLOG HOP the winners are YOU!!

African Violets are said to be the one plant that people desire most to have in their homes because it makes them feel happy. I love them, especially because they remind me of a very special Aunt who had a great knack for growing them. Her windows were always filled with beautiful purple blossoms. Any time I see them, I get that happy feeling in my heart.


How do you relax? My favorite relaxation spot is my lanai, which in Florida is a sun filled room, with windows on three sides, and mine has African Violets, and is decorated with a Bee Theme :) (Are you surprised?) I am surrounded with treasured items like a quilt, wall hanging, figurines, windchimes, wreath, and other gifts, all from dear friends, andall with bees on them (of course! )This is my warm and sunny spot to read, which is my favorite type of relaxation. I have a rocking chair, so my big cat, Rusty, and I can cuddle up and read a good mystery. Oh, and don't forget the chocolates!!

My word for the blog hop is "Violets" ; and after you check out my card, sign up as a follower or a subscriber, and leave me a comment, (so you are eligible for my awesome BLOG CANDY CONTEST***!!!, plus all the other great contests on CBC), you head on over to see what Karen Maldonado has to share, and get the next clue in the BLOG HOP! When you get all of the flowers, go to CBcontest@gmail.com and you will be entered into the drawing for those magnificent prizes that you saw on CUTTLEBUG CHALLENGE BLOGSPOT!!!

Thanks to these great sponsors!
