Hi all!
I’m lucky to be joining my buddies at Zva Creative for their August Blog Hop! Everyone is happy to have you join us and hope you enjoy all that we have to share with you along the way!
The Blog Hop begins at Zva Creative’s blog! Be sure head on over to check it out! Leave a comment there for a chance to win an extra prize package just for visiting the blog and telling us that you stopped by! You will also find a complete list of all the participating blogs there (in case there is a glitch along the way).
As you know, Zva offers many beautiful color groupings for pearls, flowers and crystals. If you like during the hop, you can find a list of stores and online retailers that sell Zva HERE.
I was lucky to make a few projects with Zva’s Summer release so I’m sharing those today.
Meet #1.
Meet #2.
Meet #3.
Meet #4.
And meet #5.
Whew. That was a lot of projects. 
Every single crystal you see on them is from Zva. Everything else is from my sorta controlled/on the brink of chaos stash of supplies. 
If you would like to play along with the Zva team , just follow along the blog path. I am linking to one of the Zva designers and that designer is linking to the next and so on. Be prepared to be inspired along the way!
Hidden on FIVE of the designer’s blogs is a Zva Creative prize package! Winners will be randomly chosen after the hop is over, so it’s important to leave a comment on as many blogs as you can along the way.
The Blog Hop starts today, August 27th and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, August 28th.
The 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, August 29th on Zva Creative’s blog. We will do our best to notify each winner, but it’s best if you can pop in to Zva’s blog on Wednesday.
All you need to do is leave a comment on this Blog Hop post… you do not need to leave a comment on each and every designer’s blog post to qualify. However, the more times you comment along the blog hop path, the more chances you will have to win.
We also thought it would be more fun to add even more chances to win our blog hop prize! To increase your chances of winning:
* Comment to let us know that you posted on your Facebook page about our hop (link to any of the blog hop posts)
* Comment to let us know that you “tweeted” about our hop (link to any of the blog hop posts)
* Comment to let us know that you asked your local store to carry Zva creative products. If they already do, that’s fantastic, maybe you can suggest other products that they don’t carry.
*Hop over to Zva’s blog and leave a comment there to tell us that you made it there!
The blog hop begins here at Zva Creative’s blog. Your next stop is the blog of the super lovely and extra fabulous, Robin Shakoor! Take it away, Robin. Enjoy the hop, and thank you for stopping by today.
P.S. Mark your calendar to join the Zva crew again on September 24th for the next Zva blog hop!
Teri, your cards are fabulous! Love the paper colors too.
So inspired to use my scraps this way, thanks! Those pearls do just the right trick! *smile*
Love all your cards! The little bits of contrasting paper you added to some of the negative spots are so eye catching!
Your cards are beautiful. Although I’m not a card maker for the most part, I will be trying my hand at one or two now. Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow! These are some gorgeous cards!! I love the inset of CS you added to some of the bling…very cool idea!!
How neat to back areas of of the flourishes with paper then cut them out.
Nice cards!
sweet cards!
wow – I love every one!! What a great idea to back the leaves of the flourishes!!

I spoke to Diane, the manager at my local acmoore to ask if they could please carry ZVA creative products!
Your cards are all so beautiful. I like the way you mixed the different patterned papers and added some bling for a wonderful finishing touch.
Wonderful blog hop:)

Fun and cheerful cards! I like your idea of using the DP under the gem swirls!
WOW! Such fabulous cards! Your style is so unique. I am definitely inspired!!!
Wow…those crystals really take the cards to the next level! Beautiful!
I love your cards! And putting the paper in the swirls of the crystals just changes their look. I think my favorite has to be the last ‘thanks’ card.
