Blog Candy and a Blog Hop

Hello again everyone! Sorry that it has been a while since my last post. We are smack dab in the middle of a kitchen renovation project, so my house AND MY LIFE has been turned upside down! I’m in the need of some fun and I have the perfect opportunity for you to join in. This weekend, one of my favorite scrapbook sites, Scrappin’ Mojo is hosting a blog hop. This is the perfect opportunity for you to join a great scrapbook group, meet some ladies who LOVE scrapbooking, create some beautiful challenge pages, and possibly win a prize too!

To join in, the first thing you need to do is sign up to be a member of Scrappin’ Mojo. To do that, go to the link here…Scrappin' Mojo Home Page. This will get you to the home page where you can follow the directions and sign in as a member.

Take some time to cruise through the forum and be sure to check out the Summer Soiree Blog Hop posts. Those will help guide you through the blogs that are participating in the blog hop. At each blog, you can participate in a challenge, leave comments, and possibly win a prize. Once you accept a challenge, be sure to go back to the Scrappin’ Mojo gallery located at this link...Scrappin' Mojo Gallery. Post your challenge layouts so that we can all enjoy your creative endeavors and leave you some praise.

Now for MY CHALLENGE…. You all know that I LOVE stamping! Many of us use the stamps on cards and other paper projects, but I would like for you to try your hand at using stamping on a scrapbook page. One stipulation…..you must use some stamps that are NOT alphabet stamps. You may include alphabet stamps also, but somewhere on the page there must be some “image” stamping. Here’s my sample….


Don’t recognize those circles??? Well….those are from the brand spanking new catalog! This set is called Circle Circus and I love the fun things that you can do with it! You may not recognize some of the ink colors either….those are the brand new in colors. (Look for more about those soon.)

This layout pays tribute to my daughter’s latest obsession: bright, colorful, unusual socks. I’m sure that you have an obsession too….one that you don’t mind sharing with the world. Leave a comment on this thread and share that obsession with us all. On Sunday night I will randomly select a number and that lucky person will win the Polka Dot Punches stamp set. It is one of my favorites and was available during this year's Saleabration.

The fun isn’t over yet. Once you’ve posted your comment here and made note of my challenge so that you can complete it, head on over to Marcie’s blog to see what fun challenge she has for you.
