Welcome to The Craft’s Meow and Want2Scrap Blog Hop! Today's hop will be full of amazing projects. If you are following the hop, you should have arrived from Jean Martin's blog! This is one great partnership, there are so many stamps available at The Craft's Meow that just scream to be blinged up.
I chose to feature three sets from The Craft's Meow: to focal point of the paper pieced red blooms from Hope Blooms, the sentiment from God's Blessings, and the background stamping from Inspired by Audrey. I dressed them up with some bling designed by Nina B. for Want2Scrap. How cool is it that three sets work so well together?! (Well, at least in my opinion!) I paper pieced the two larger blooms with red patterned paper and then bumped up the color with a red marker. The stems were also paper pieced, but I kept them white. I re-arranged the bling a bit represent movement in the leaves and growing. I was trying to reiterate the fact that a wedding intertwines two people's lives and is the starting point for a growing future together.
Each company is offering up a prize to folks that complete the blog hop by leaving a comment on each participant's blog. We all like to hear what you think! (The Craft's Meow will be giving a way a stamp set of choice by random draw.) A complete list of participants can be found on The Craft’s Meow Blog.The deadline for leaving comments to win is Sunday, August 12th, winners will be announced on the TCM/W2S blogs by Tuesday, August 14th.
