Welcome to the first Pals Blog Hop of 2015! We hope your new year is off to a great creative start! To celebrate the start of a new Stampin' Up! season, we are showcasing products from our newest catalog this month - the Occasions catalog. Some hoppers will also showcase new Sale-a-bration products too. If you don't know how to earn free Sale-a-bration products - contact your Stampin' Up! demonstrator to learn more.
You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Becky Gifford at The Social Stamper. Whichever is the case, I hope you'll take a look at me creations and use the full lineup below to move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects we've created for you!
I'm really excited to share my creations with you! Those who know me well know that I am a deadline worker and hopefully none of them will spill their coffee or fall out of their chairs when they see that I am sharing Valentine's treat ideas...a full month before Valentine's day! These were so much fun to create using the brand new Hey, Valentine stamp set from the Occasions catalog:
It is just precious! And perfect for making Valentine's for Brooklyn and Britt to give to their friends.
First up, the sweet little fox:
This fox is adorable and makes me smile just thinking of the girls dancing along to the song "What Does the Fox Say" -- it is a regularly requested song for dance parties at our house! It is also one of those songs that just sticks in your head.
Britt will be sharing the fox tags and a few crayons with her friends. A tightly wrapped band of card stock holds the crayons together and forms the perfect backdrop of the Bermuda Bay ribbon. A box of 48 crayons will be divided up amongst Britt's friends making this a really affordable Valentine's treat!
For Brooklyn's friends, there will be a mix of all the other stamp designs in the set:
The school of fish...that Brooklyn colored in by herself!
The sweet tweet bird...so very sweet!
The cutie pie pirate -- I especially adore the parrot perched on the pirate's hand!
Since Brooklyn is older, we are going with pencils as her treat:
Do you agree? Candy free and lots of fun?
For those who want to know what supplies I used, scroll on down to the very bottom of the post!
The next stop is Debbie Crowley at expressivelydeb... on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting and I'll see you next month!
One more thing before I go...a big shout-out to the one and only Nicole Watt for the fabulous retro badge and buttons! Love them!
