Crafty Gals Celebrates 10 Years!

Can you believe it?!  We are celebrating 10 years of challenges at the Crafty Gals Corner.  Seems like just yesterday I was a newbie on the team!  To celebrate 10 years of challenges, we are having a blog hop!

You should have come to my blog from Lena's blog.  I am sure she had something wonderful to show you!  If you get lost or need to start from the beginning, the list is below.

My project was created using the Holiday Cheers set from Beccy's Place.  I colored the mug with Copic markers and used Spellbinders Gold Labels 4 to frame it.  The background paper is from the November 2020 Spellbinders card kit.  A little lace and ribbon finishes it nicely.  The sentiment is also from the Holiday Cheers set.

As a surprise for making it to the end of our blog hop, I am going to give away some goodies to one lucky commenter.  I have some duplicate My Favorite Things dies and a stencil that need a good home.  Once our blog hop has ended, I will draw a name from all of the comments left on this post.

The winner will receive the prizes shown above.  

    MFT Tiny Clouds Stencil

    MFT Skinny Strips Die-namics

MFT Cheers Die-namics (no longer on website)

In addition, if you enter our challenge and comment on all the blogs, you can win the prizes below from our sponsors for playing along.  You can click on the badge to be magically transported to the shop.

Time for a Blog Hop!

Hello!  Welcome to your next stop on the Crafty Gals Corner blog hop.  We are hopping this challenge to introduce you to all of our new team mates!  Our theme is Snow Much Fun, so we want to see your snow themed projects.  You should have hopped here from Lena's blog.  I am sure she had something fabulous to show you!

I used Little Penguin Winter Bench from Bugaboo for my project.  It was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  The background paper is from Fancy Pants Designs' Blissful Blizzard collection.  This was from a paper pad, but you can find it digitally on Snap Click Supply.  The sentiment is computer generated.  I added a touch of clear Wink of Stella to the ornaments and the snow.  The star was colored using a Spica glitter pen.

The next stop on your hop is Tracy's blog.  I have seen her project and can say you are in for a treat! 

If you did not start at the beginning or get lost, you can always hop back to the Crafty Gals Corner and pick up where you left off.  Otherwise, the list of participants is below:

Happy Blogiversary!

Hello!  Welcome to the next stop on the Crafty Gals Corner blogiversary blog hop!  You should have come here from Lisa's blog.  I am sure she had some wonderful inspiration for you.  If you didn't get here from Lisa's blog, head over the Crafty Gals Corner so you can start at the beginning and see all of the gorgeous projects my teamies have whipped up for you.  We have another anything goes challenge, so very easy to play along again this week.

For my project I used Aurora - The Best Gift Ever from The East Wind.  Aurora and her kitty were colored with Copic markers.  The background paper is a gorgeous freebie from the Winter Frost pack that was available in the Art by Miran Facebook group.  Tracy Wray makes some beautiful papers and they offer them for free!

The heart snowflake is a Silhouette cut file.  I wanted something wintery and this snowflake (technically a doily =P) was the perfect complement for this image.

As you probably already know, we are celebrating the one-year blogiversary of the Crafty Gals corner, so to celebrate we have EIGHT (yes you read that right, 8!) wonderful sponsors who have agreed to help us celebrate. In addition, some of these wonderful ladies are ALSO offering prizes on their personal blogs. So be sure to hop, hop, hop for MANY chances to receive a prize. We do hope you have had a wonderful holiday with your friends and loved ones, and best of luck to you all in the New Year! Thank you for linking up with Crafty Gals Corner and we hope to see you again soon!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the blog hop.  Your lovely comments always make my day.  =)

Birthday Celebrations!

It’s birthday time!!  MoonFlower is a whole year old already and we’re blog hopping to celebrate!

It’s been an amazing year, with many incredible images drawn by Andreia, and brought to life by the very talented design team, and so we decided it would be fun to showcase some of them with a birthday blog hop.

Blogging is all about networking and sharing our love of crafts so we’d love you to play along, leave a little love on each blog you hop to and if you like what you see hit the ‘follow’ button, and we can follow you in return of course! The winners will be announced on the blogs so you don’t want to miss out as it could be you!

We are pleased to be sponsored by Donna Marie for this hop. She is an amazing colorist and has written a fabulous ebook with many hints and tips about coloring. One lucky hopper will win a copy of her book, plus 2 MoonFlower digi stamps of their choosing, and a 25% discount voucher for the store. Check out her Facebook page to see her amazing work.

In addition to the main prize, one lucky person who has left a comment will be selected from each blog included in the hop, and will win the image that each DT member has used.  Check back on each blog to see if you are the winner.
 Comments must be posted by Sunday, October 4 at 5:59 pm CDT (11:59 pm WEST) to be eligible for the drawing.

You should have popped over here from Dianne's blog.  I am sure she had some amazing inspiration for you.  For my project, I used Gypsy Flower.  She was a gorgeous freebie from the newsletter.  I fell in love as soon as I saw her!  She is now available in the shop.

She is colored with Copic markers and the frame was cut using a Silhouette store cut file.  The wire curlicues are actually the wire stems I cut off of two of the flowers.  =)  If you want to get the newsletter freebies, be sure to sign up for the newsletter on the website!  Don't forget to leave a comment on this post because you could be the lucky winner!

Celebration Blog Hop

Hello everyone and welcome to your next stop on the Meljen's Designs Celebration Blog Hop!  If you have been following along, you know that we are celebrating our 200th challenge!  Isn't that fabby?!

I am so glad you decided to celebrate with us!  All of the design team members have created a project with a celebration theme.  The best part about this celebration is you get the presents!  Each stop along the hop will give you a chance to win the image used on that blog!  Just make sure to leave a comment and an email so you can be contacted if you are the winner.  Believe me, there is nothing worse than not being able to contact a winner!  And as always, there is always the chance to win three images if you enter our challenge which of course has a celebration theme this week. =)

You should have come here from Nancy's blog.  Isn't her project wonderful?  I definitely think it is time to celebrate spring at this point in the winter!  If you just popped by and would like to start from the beginning, or if you have gotten lost along the way, just click the blog hop banner above to go back to the challenge blog.

For my project today I spruced up an old cigar tin that my husband gave me after emptying it.  I plan to use it as a gift card holder in the future.  I am not sure how I feel about cigars, but I end up with a lot of great boxes and tins to have fun with!

I really liked that the tin was gold.  Usually the tins are silver.  But those crazy pirates had to go!!

I used Little Bird's Song and colored it with Copics.  I nearly had a panic attack when I realized that I had put all of the elements on the lid upside down!  The box opened the wrong way!  Luckily, I was able to remove everything and fix it.  Those darn pirates were playing tricks on me.

The inside of the lid had the same picture as the cover so those pirates had to go too!

I left the sentiment oval blank because I am not sure what occasion this tin will be used for.  I will add the appropriate sentiment later.

Okay!  Now it is time for you to hop on to the next blog for even more tasty inspiration!  Next up on the blog tour is Robbie and I just know she has something wonderful cooked up for you!  Before you go, be sure to leave me a comment and include your email address.  You just might win your very own copy of Little Bird's Song!  All of the winners will be announced on Monday, March 17th.
