QKR/Eureka Blog Hop

Welcome to the QKR /Eureka Blog Hop!

If you arrived here from the talented Emily's blog, then you are in the right place.  In case you get lost along the way, the complete line-up is listed at the bottom of my post.

Our theme for the Blog Hop is "Anything Goes" and you have two weeks to join in this challenge.  The only requirement is that you use either an image from QKR or Eureka Stamps for this challenge.  If you comment on each blog along the way, you'll be eligible to win 2 more images.


I created my very first Christmas card of the year for the Blog Hop.  This isn't necessarily a Christmas digi stamp, but I thought the wording was perfect for a Christmas card.


I used Pink Paislee "City Sidewalks" patterned paper and embellishments.  I printed the digi stamp out on cream colored cardstock to better match the patterned paper.  Since I matted the stamp in black, I tied black twine through the holes in the embellishments.

Here's a close-up photograph.


I attached all of the embellishments with pop dots for added dimension.  Here's one more close-up.


As an added bonus, I'm giving away this EZMount Stamp Set, "Ahhhhh...Christmas", by Dee Gruening.




All you have to do, to become eligible, is become a follower on my blog.  (I recently had to start my blog ALL over again and lost all of my followers!!  I'm trying to build it back up.)  Leave me a comment telling me that you're now a follower, and I'll enter you in a random drawing to win this stamp set.  (If you're already a follower, leave that in your comment and you'll also be entered to win.)  I'll announce my winner at the end of the Blog Hop, so be sure to check back on Monday, September 15th.

 Thanks for stopping by and now, hop on over to the talented Alex's blog to see what you she has created.
