The day has finally arrived! The Paper Variety has turned 1 and we are celebrating with a week's extravaganza of favorite things! TPV is hosting 5 daily challenges of our favorite things and awarding 5 great prizes to 5 lucky random winners. We hope you'll play along with us each day!!
We begin today with a fun blog hop and our 1st challenge which is sponsored by My Favorite Things stamps. If you followed the thread from The Paper Variety, then you have certainly just seen Hannah's wonderful creation and you're now in the right place. If not, click HERE to start from the start :-P Be sure to visit every blog to see what inspiration my fellow DT members have to share using MFT stamps and you might perhaps also find a bit of blog candy along the way!
Our first of 5 challenges is to create a paper project including stamps - clear stamps, rubber stamps, image stamps, sentiment stamps. My Favorite Things stamps is awarding a random challenge winner with a $25 gift voucher to their store!
Like every week, you have until Tuesday noon EST (September 13th) to enter your project HERE for a chance to win the prize.
My Favorite Things has been so generous as to provide each one of us a stamp to use on our blog hop projects! Thank you MFT!!! I chose the cute Tea for Two digital set because it came with 2 stamps, perfect for my 2 nieces for whom i made these adorable little gift bags.
After i colored in the stamps, i added a little bit of Stickles to make them sparkle.
Before you hop on over to the next blog, i have a little something for you - my very first blog candy since i started blogging last January!
Among other products, it includes two 6x6 paper pads from Best Creations, Ballet Princess & Gone Camping.
If you want a chance to win this package of goodies, all you have to do is answer this easy question in the comment section : What is your current favorite song? I love discovering new music and perhaps i can extend my playlist with some of your faves! My favorite song at the moment is Adele's Someone Like You. If you've never heard it, take a listen... it's simply beauty-full! Also, becoming a follower of my blog will give you a second chance to win! I will pick a random winner on the evening of Tuesday September 14th, same time as the TPV challenge winners of the week will be announced.
Please note that you don't have to enter a project at TPV to win my blog candy. My giveaway is just for fun. Although I do hope you decide to play along with us to celebrate TPV's first anniversary! Dont forget, there will be other challenges and prizes daily until Sunday inspiring you to use your favorite things! There's also a giveaway on the TPV facebook page so don't miss that! Join in the fun! :)
Now, without further ado, i invite you to hop on over to see what the very talented Jamilie has created using MFT stamps!

Jumpstart (These kids wear crowns)
Oh, I love a bit of Adele too!!

OH my Gosh! Those gift bags are too adorable!! The colors are just too perfect and I love all the little bling!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you about Adele...although that song makes me cry sometimes. So I amp it up a bit with Party Rockers!
You know, I think these two sweet little gift bags are the SWEETEST projects I have ever seen created with these images! Honest! They are so bright and colorful and I LOVE all the sparkly touches you added! Perfect! I love Adele's Rolling in the Deep so I will have to check this one out too. Lately, I am addicted to Cher's 'Strong Enough' - it was supposedly released like 10 years ago, but I don't recall ever hearing it - just a feel-good, pump-you-up-and-motivate-you kind of song, good treadmill music! Enjoy! (and thanks for the chance to win too!)
ReplyDeleteI love your cards, so, so cute! My favorite song right now is Michael Buble's "Crazy Love"
ReplyDeleteLove your cards!! the images are so super adorable and love the coloring and stickles you added! Well done!!
ReplyDeleteI love all types of music~Adele being one of them. Her voice is just amazing!! One of my all time favorites is Tom Petty :)~ Anything Tom Petty!!
TFS and for the chance to win!
