Winter Wonderland of Embellishments Blog Hop

Posting this a tad early as I have to work all day tomorrow, and then I'm going to a crop right after work tomorrow night! Yay me...first one I've been too in over five years, so I figure I'm due....

So......welcome to the Cookin' up Creations "Winter Wonderland of Embellishments" Blog Hop..

Here's how to play along with us.

Your first stop for this Hop should have been the Cookin' up Creations Blog. There you will find a complete list of all the participating blogs.

Please Visit all 12 blogs, leaving a comment at each one.

Then return to the Cookin' up Creations Blog to let us know you are finished. This will get you an entry to win one of the two prizes that will be given away at the end of the Blog Hop.

For this blog hop, you should have come here from Jan Mosier's Blog, if not, head back to the Cookin' up Creations Blog and start from the beginning! My blog here should be your 12th and last stop before you head back to the Cookin' up Creations Blog. Once you get back to the main blog, make sure you leave a comment telling us that you've been to every blog on the hop, and have left a comment!

For my challenge, I gonna talk about mini brads.....most everyone that knows me, knows that I can't do a layout without using them....*notice my layouts in my slide show! Guess you can guess what my challenge is going to be......yep, you guessed it! I want you to create a layout using at least Five (5) mini brads on it....how easy is that?? Please upload your creations into the Cookin' up Creations Embellishment Blog Hop Album before Friday January 22, 2010 at 5:00 EST to qualify for the prizes. File size should be no larger than 150Kb....also while you're here, and posting your comment, why not go ahead and tell me what's the "ONE" embellishment that you turn to over and over again??

Here's my example....it's a tad older, but with jury duty and work the past two weeks, I'm running a tad behind....

The next stop on our hop is the last stop, and like I mentioned before, it's the Cookin' up Creations Blog....

Thank you so much for joining in on our Blog Hop! Happy Scrapping!

**There will be two prizes awarded. One prize is for participating in the blog hop and becoming a follower of the Cookin’ up Creations blog . And then there will be a Grand Prize, awarded to the person completing all of the challenges and requirements involved! Both prizes will be Random Drawings!

Card A Day Challenge at Cookin' up Creations

Over on my site, we're having a card a day challenge for the entire month of November...hope you'll come check it out and play along with us!



Cookin up Creations

Is this challenge for you? If you have ever had a birthday slip up on you and you had to rush to the store to purchase a card or scramble to make one at the last minute, then this challenge is definitely, for YOU! During the month of November we will be building up our card stash - if you don’t have a card stash now, then you will at the end of the month.

Now for the motivation...how does a $20.00 Gift Certificate to your favorite online store sound?? Sounds pretty good to me, especially this time of year!! And just think, that's $20 for YOU to spend on yourself!!

Have you visited Paper Secrets today??

It's a new site that I've recently stumbled across, and am really enjoying the inspiration there....and get this, they're having an awesome giveaway! Come on over, visit, and join in on the fun.
