HERE WE GO!!! The begining of the LET'S SCRAP BLOG HOP

THIS POST WILL REMAIN ON TOP UNTIL THE END OF THE HOP. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR NEW POSTS :)

Welcome to the Let's Scrap Leap Around the World Blog hop!!! I am so glad you could join us!! I am the very first stop on this HUGE blog hop! There are 50 wonderful and incredibly talented hostess that will inspire you as you Leap Around the World.  
I am proud and honored to be on the Design Team at Let's Scrap which is a fantastic sketch and challenge scrapbooking and card making website. It is a community that encourages and motivates  everyone and their love for scrapping!  We have over 3,600 members from every part of the world. That is how we can "Leap around the World"! 


So, without further ado, here is the sketch from Let's Scrap that I am showcasing for the hop.
I have 2 examples I have created with this sketch to share with you. 

This card will be given to my BFF as a thanks for all she has done for me lately. 

For this card I used
DCWV Cotton Bloom stack, Stampin Up! Thank You stamp, A la Mode embossing powder, Darice Heat tool, Versamark embossing pad, Peeled Paint Distress Ink, Studio G glitter glue (on sentiment), Tim Holtz Curiosity stamp on left background, Cutter Bee scissors, gems unknown stash



This is secretly for my DH for our anniversary next month ;) Here are the supplies I used:

DCWV Rockstar 8x8 stack, unknown glitter cs, Blood Omen font for title using SCAL and my Cricut(from acidfonts.com), Graphix foil board-silver (the scanner killed the shine), EK chain punch, Brown Zig Writer around the title and star, SCAL and Cri-Kits metal embosser, Cri-Kits metal, fussy cut the wings with my Cutter Bee's and my sewing machine




NOW FOR THE FUN PART!!!! I HAVE CANDY!!!! 
A spool of American Crafts ribbon, wooden buttons, Studio G gel pen 5 pack, 2 packs Studio G Rhinestone Clusters, Michaels Vintage Finds rub-ons, Bella Blvd adhesive chipboard and TPC Studio Brush Stroke Greetings Rubber cling stamps. I will ship this anywhere in the world!!!

You love it?? You want it?? SO super easy to enter!! I will even give you 2 chances!!

~~CHANCE 1 for my draw~~
*Be or Become a member of Let's Scrap which you can do by clicking http://letsscrap.ning.com/. It is free, simple to do and once you get there, I am sure you will love it!!
*Become a follower of my blog. I always love making new friends!
*Leave me a comment and let me know what color you use the most when scrapping/card making
(We are finding that using Google Chrome or Firefox as your internet browser is the best option as Internet Explorer or IE does not always "play nice" with Blogger)!


~~CHANCE 2 for my draw~~
*Create a card (or layout if you wish) from the sketch I have posted and upload it into the gallery at Let's Scrap. You can do this from your "My Page" and adding photos. When you upload it, there will be a place to insert a tag. Please tag your card from this sketch as such
1-18-12, LEAP1
Please note LEAP is all capitals and there is no space between LEAP and 1. Also, don't forget the comma.
*Leave a comment with a link to your card on Let's Scrap. If you need help with linking, you can find instructions here http://letsscrap.ning.com/forum/topics/how-to-copy-and-paste-a-page-link
PLEASE NOTE-the card needs to be newly created for the hop

Doing more than 1 card for my stop will not get you more chances at my candy, but no worries! With 50 hosts with 50 different sketches, you should have plenty to keep you busy! All winners will be drawn at random, so don't be shy! No matter what level of card maker you are, you will still have a chance to win! So clear off your desk and grab your scraps, there is a serious amount of cards to be created!! Don't worry, you don't HAVE to do all 50 cards! If you only have time for a couple, that is fine. You will get the second chance in the drawing for the blogs that you did create a card for.

The hop begins at 10:00 am Central standard time February 1, 2012 and will end at 11:59 pm February 29, 2012 Central standard time. This is the time zone that the main page of Let's Scrap uses, so you can always check there for reference.

All 50 winners will be announced March 3, 2012 in the Let's Scrap forum and after that announcement, each host will also be announcing their winner on their individual blogs.

THANKS FOR VISITING AND LEAVING ME SOME BLOG LOVE!! 

Your next stop is the super talented, inspirational paper artist and fellow Design Team member  
ELIZNA PARSONS


Here is  the entire hop road map, since it is HUGE! If you lose your way, each hostess will have a link back to me to help you get back on track :)

  17. So excited to do the blog hop!! Awesome cards and one of my favorite sketches! My favorite color to use while scrapping is brown! I love how versatile it is and different shades compliment any color on the color wheel!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Kudos, Mindi, for pulling this all together! The card to your BFF is gorgeous! Love the colors! And the metal embellishment you made for the anniversary card is amazing! (I hope you do a tutorial on that!)I love working with neutral, earthy tones, though I don't really have a favorite scrapping color.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Awesome! :) I find that my go-to colors are pink/green combos for feminine cards and brown/blue for male cards. I have a couple of pieces of Doodlebug papers I've horded that have these colors in plaids and dots and I reach for them all the time! :) Great job!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Whooo hoooo! And we're off! I've been waiting for this. I am a member of Let's Scrap, and a follower of your blog too. So enter me in the fab give away please! I love the card for your hubby. It's so hard to create masculine cards. You knocked it out of the park! TFS
    PS, I have a friend who is trying to decide on a new heat gun. One she's considering is the one you have. Can I send her over to ask you about it? Thanks again, Jessica

  28. Cute cards! I've been a member at LS, and I recently joined your blog =). I don't have a go-to color really...I like to match to my photos. But I guess I do tend to use a lot of blues, greens & purples which are my favorites =)

  32. Hi Mindi! Thanks for setting up this awesome blog hop. What a great way to add some fun to the middle of winter! I am a follower and a Let's Scrap member. I re-did my reply because I forgot the color! I don't have a favorite - I choose based on the patterned paper I want to use.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Mindi! YOu did such an enormous amount of work for this hop, and it really paid off! Thank you SO MUCH for organizing all of us!!! I love the cards that you made, too! Both are awesome. I am off to start hopping around the world. Thanks again!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Mindi, What wonderful cards you have created! And a wonderful job you have done putting this whole hop together...other sites will be following your lead I am certain!
    I don't know that there is a particular color I prefer to use, I try to make things go with photos. But I think I do like to use a brighter color pallet in my designs.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Beautiful cards, I especially love the first one, love the colors.

  37. Love how different both cards look! They are both fabulous! My favourite colour is green, but my most used colour is pink... can you guess why? Thanks for working so hard to organise this hop, it's so much fun!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I am already a follower and of course a member of Let's Scrap. Thanks for organizing this hop, you've done a super job.
    I guess green is my most used color, I seem to have more green paper than any other color, both printed and cardstock. Probably because it is my daughter's favorite color and I can't resist buying it LOL

    ReplyDelete
  39. Love your cards. Wow 50 hops. this will be fun

  40. I'm already a follower Mindi - and of course a member of Let's Scrap. Thanks for organising this wonderful hop. I don't have any favourite colours, but tend to go for the earthy, greens, browns, yellows. Best of luck with the hop!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. HI Mindi. This is my first time visit here. I have become a Follower and am already a member of Lets Scrap. I love your creations and your take on the sketch for the blog hop is gorgeous. Its quite difficult narrowing down one favourite colour for my creative work, but I would say I use, creams, browns, blues and greens quite a bit - guess thats because I am an outdoor girl. Would love to see you as a Follower over at www.desiref.blogspot.com
    Hugs
    Desire

  42. OK, and so the card making begins.. have created my card with the sketch.. rotated it to make it suit my papers and sentiment.. check it out here: http://letsscrap.ning.com/photo/1-18-12-it-s-your-bird-day

  64. Great card projects. I don't really gravitate to any one color. I just choose based on a particular pad of paper I want to use or I go by what will match best with the colors in my photos for scrapbooking.

  70. your cards are a great example of how 1 Let's Scrap sketch can inspire so many different card styles. Thanks for organising the Hop

    ReplyDelete
  71. Great blog, now that I am a follower I look forward to coming back. I am also a member of the LS. The color that I seem to use the most is red, not sure why but it is.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Hi Mindi! Love your cards! I think I use blues the most in scrapping because I scrap mainly for my nine grandsons. With cards, I think I like to use a lot of pinks and browns but also blue and green would win out for the most for the same reason....make cards for guys the most.

  90. These are really stunning cards Mindi!
    Thank you for hosting this blog hop, it is really awesome.
    I don't really have a favourite colour that I scrap with, it all depends you the pictures. But I must say I scrap with black and brown alot. Something I am not fond of scrapping with is yellow and orange.

  125. Thanks once again Mindy for the GREAT FUN I had participating in this Blog HOP. Thank you for all your organisation, it's much appreciated.
    I made a full stop @ card #29 - exactly enough for me for the LEAP month ;-) I have way too many other real life priorities which kept me from completing all the challenges, but the ones I did, I really enjoyed.
