Join the Hoppy New Year Blog Hop!!

Today is the day the Hoppy New Year Blog Hop begins over at Let's Scrap!  Join me and the other Design Team members of Let's Scrap!  We have tons of fun, inspiration, challenges, and prizes planned!!  And the best part is, we're hopping for an entire month!!  That's right, the blog hop begins today and goes through Feb.14th, so you'll have plenty of time to work on the challenges!

Below you will find a list of those DT's who are joining us in the blog hop.  (You might have joined me from Beth's Blog.)  Each stop on the hop will offer you a different resolution, or challenge.  Become a follower of each Design Team Member's blog and as you complete each challenge, upload your finished project to the Let's Scrap gallery.   Return to each blog and make sure to leave a comment letting us know that you have completed the challenge and uploaded it to Let's Scrap.  Make sure you tag your project with the appropriate tag (you will find those instructions on each of our blogs-ie:  resolution#1, resolution#2 etc.). 

Each Design Team member will randomly select a winner of a small prize for participating.  For the ULTIMATE challenge, and for a chance to win a fabulous prize from Cosmo Cricket, complete the challenges you will find on EACH stop on the blog hop.  Make sure to tag your uploads properly so you are sure to be entered into the random drawing.

You can start anywhere along the way within this great group of blogs and each one will link from one site to the next where you will find all of the great challenges!  And the best part is you have four weeks to upload your challenge entries.  Even if you don't win the grand prize, if you choose to complete all the challenges available, you will have 15 completed projects!  Woo hoo!

So, you are at Resolution #4 on the Hoppy New Year Blog Hop.  And this is your challenge here on My Creative Chat:

1)  Use a Let's Scrap Sketch
2)  Create a scrapbook layout or card
3)  Use a list somewhere on your project

That's it!!  Make sure and upload your layout to Let's Scrap and tag it Resolution#4.  Make sure to become a follower of my blog and leave a comment letting me know that you completed Resolution #4.  Don't forget to play along with all of the fun "resolutions" along the way!

I decided to make both a scrapbook layout and a card, but you only have to do one.  Here are my takes on Resolution #4 - click on each photo to view larger:

  

Aren't these cute?  All supplies are from Stampin' Up!  I've used quite a few stamp sets from the new Occasions Mini Catalog - FUN, FUN!!

To celebrate this Hoppy New Year, I'm giving away some Blog Candy to one lucky winner who completes my challenge, uploads it to Let's Scrap, becomes a follower of my blog, and leaves a comment here.  One winner will win a new Stampin' Up! Stamp Set, Punch Potpourri.  I love this stamp set as it can be used for cards, layouts, tags, etc. and has coordinating punches available to match.  Here are the stamps you'll receive in this set:


Thanks for stopping by!!

The next stop on the blog hop is Carolina.

And just in case you get lost along the way, here's the scoop:

The list style journaling worked surprisingly well for my layout. I had already told the story on the previous page, so I just needed to detail what was in the photos.

Anel said...

My poor son was distraught at the completion of this challenge. Why, oh why did I have to use that photograph? I completed it as part of a double page but am waiting for the nice photos to come home from school before the right hand side will be done. Have a look http://letsscrap.ning.com/photo/grade-8-initiation?context=user
