Paper Issues Blog Hop!

*Giveaway is now closed, winner will be announce tomorrow.*



Welcome, Welcome.

If this is your first time here at my blog, welcome. If you've been here before, welcome back!



The new theme over at Paper Issues is Tree Hugger. I wasn't sure exactly what to do, since I didn't really have any hippie related or camping material to scrap. So I went with outdoors....which turned into beach :)























I had so much fun making this layout. I used my Zig embossing pen to write ," sandcastles," and embossed using my brown sugar AC Zing, which I happen to think looks almost identical to sand :)  I loved watching Ryan build sandcastles with the kids, even though they kept wrecking it, he kept trying.



In honor of the blog hop, (and moving recently) I'll be doing a giveaway as well.

To be entered, please leave a comment with contact info.

For additional entries, you can follow this blog and/or follow me on Twitter.

Please leave a blog comment after doing so.



My giveaway is a big box full of goodies, lots of paper, even some exclusive SC papers from some past kits. This picture doesn't do it justice, but the box is gonna be packed!













Winners will be posted on the Paper Issues blog, Monday, September 19th.



Next stop on the Blog Hop is the wonderfully talented - Monika Wright.



This blog hop actually has 3 different paths, Scrapbook, Altered Items and Cards.



If you would like to visit the Altered Items path - Start Here

Also, special for you hoppers, here is a code for 25% off in the Paper Issues Store - HOP25.



Enjoy the hop and your weekend!



XOXO,

Holly & Co.

    LOVE the clean and modern feel of this page- using the ZIG pen was a perfect touch- it really does like sand.
