April Zva Creative DT Blog Hop!

April Zva Creative DT Blog Hop!

Are you ready fun some fun???

We, The Zva Creative DT, are all joining together today to share a project that we have created using some of our favorite Zva Creative products. I am hoping that you will take some time to join us for a TON of fun!

Each designer's blog will share a unique sketch that was created with paper...and there's a twist! It's a sketch that's designed with both scrapbooker's and card makers in mind. In addition to having the design laid out for you, each blog will have it's own color combo. The sketch can be turned and the color placement can be changed around. If you see a flower element on a sketch, please feel free to change it to something else if you like. Each sketch is a 6 x 6 page, but you can adapt the design to be horizontal, vertical or even a circle! The colors don't have to be exact, just stay within the color family that's provided (including using a lighter or darker shade). Adding neutrals like white, brown or black is ok...and "making it your own" is always fun to see!

The Blog Hop begins at Kim Hughes' blog. She is linking to one of the Zva designers and that designer is linking to the next and so on. There are 12 design team members, so be prepared to be inspired along the way.

We would LOVE to see how YOU create with ZVA CREATIVE products! Please use this sketch to create any type of project (card, layout, home decor etc.) Your project must include Zva products to be in the running for one of the prizes. Add a link to your project in the "Mr. Linky" You will have until11:59 PST, Thursday, April 29th to play along.

Hidden on 5 of the blogs is a wonderful Zva Creative prize package...Woohooo! Those blogs will be randomly chosen after the hop is over, so it's important to participate on as many blogs as you can (but you do not need to use all 13 sketches). The 5 winners will be announced on Friday, April 30th. We will do our best to notify each winner, but it's best if you can pop in to all of the blogs once again on Friday...plus, you never know what kind of inspirational projects that you may find..

Here is the specific sketch that I was asked to use!

I sort of used black in place of the Navy blue... That's what happens when you aren't paying attention to your monitor very well from across the room. You can pretend it's Navy 'K! ;)

I used the Zva Creative corner pearl cluster in the corner in place of the white element. (PE-03CA-101) The little purple flowers are one of my favorite Zva products! So sweet and delicate!

Chair-ished is a great stamp set with fun Chair images... I thought this Rocking Chair image would be great on a baby card... So I gave it a try!

This sentiment from Inside & Out: Baby is perfect...Isn't that fun! I used my A Little Argyle set to create a harlequin style background too.

You can see how neat the Argyle Impression plate is on this card too! So versatile! I added Vintage Cream Ink directly to the Ripe Avocado cardstock after it was impressed... and sponged ink onto the Vintage Cream cardstock. Two totally different looks!

(BTW... this card it totally inspired by Melissa Phillips!)

Please hop on over to see Lynn Ghahary! she has another amazing project and opportunity to play! (Make sure to check out all the DT member's!)

Here is the place to place your direct link to your Zva sketch project for this particular sketch!
