Blog Hop: Honeycomb Happiness

Its time for another blog hop.   This month we were using the Honeycomb Happiness stamp set in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue as well as the Honeycomb Embellishments in the latest Occasions Catalogue.   

I had to use the chick in the stamp set.  How cute is he???   I decided to call him Percy when I was colouring him.   So much fun to work with.  It is getting me excited for spring.  It is the end of February here.  We had an ice storm Wednesday followed by a day of snow and blowing snow on Thursday.   February is coming to an end  and Easter is just around the corner. I am sure you will find warm weather inspiration while visiting each or our blogs.  

I used the following products for my fine little fellow, Percy.

Another Blog Hop is Coming!!

It is hard to believe an other month has gone by and we are getting ready for another Blog Hop Challenge.   We are getting towards of the end of another cold winter weather here in Ontario.  We had a little tease this past weekend with above normal temperatures and sunshine.  I am getting excited to get into my gardens and play in the dirt.  

This is sitting on my workspace and I need to get busy to create something.  We have the Honeycomb Happiness stamps set from our Sale-A-Bration catalogue (free with an order of $60 or more before taxes and shipping), Honeycomb Embellishments found in our latest Occasions Catalogue and I have decided to include the Pool Party 3/8" Glitter Ribbon (I can't say no to glitter)     So many ideas and inspiration floating around in my head, so little time.    Come back this Saturday and see what I have created.    

Also, do not forget to visit my other team members participating in this blog hop.  These are some pretty amazing ladies

Blog Hop Announcement

I have an exciting announcement for this blog.    I find I fall in love with certain stamp sets, but only use them once or twice because I found myself stumped on how else to use it.   How about you?   Its time to start dusting off those stamp sets and get creating.  Starting this month, a group of my fellow demonstrators and I will be challenging ourselves to use the same exact same products to create totally different projects.  These projects will be posted to our personal blogs on the last Saturday of every month and at the end of each of our posts you will find a link to the next person's blog.  You can then hop to each project with ease.

For this month's challenge and blog hop, we will be using products from the Love Blossoms Suite in the 2016 catalogue.

Want to meet my fellow demonstrators that are participating?  You can check out their blogs now:
