DeNami Blog Hop!

Hi and Welcome to the DeNami Blog Hop! I'm super excited to be participating for the second month in a row!!!

The Hop starts HERE, in case you get lost along the way!!!



 
 
 
When: The blog hop starts on June 12 at 6 AM, PST. However, you have until June 13, 2011, 11:59 pm PST, to leave comments on all the blogs (to be eligible for a prize).



Why: To be inspired by beautiful creations featuring DeNami Design stamps and also the chance to win mini shopping sprees on the DeNami Design website!


Prizes: We are giving away THREE $20 gift certificates to our website! We'll be giving away one gift certificate to a random participant (DT members not eligible) and then we'll also be giving away TWO gift certificates to TWO people who comment
along the hop!




The challenge this month was to create a fabulous frame.  I was able to get together with my BFF last weekend to scrap, so I used her beautiful DeNami stamps to create a bit of an unconventional frame.  My frame only has a top and bottom.  I just didn't think anything on the sides was necessary - the top and bottom work to pull the frame together. ;-)


I stamped on Kraft and then I colored in those goregous, dainty flowers with Prismacolor colored pencils and added some Stickles in the center for a little bit of glimmer.  I love, love, love the look of the white pencil on Kraft.  Then, I stamped some coordinating flowers in the background in VersaMark.



So, the flowers create a fun frame for the sentiment!!!

Thanks for stopping by today and I'd love to hear your comments.  And don't forget to keep hopping and comment in order to win some prizes!!! Good luck!!!

Your next stop on the Hop is the upber-talented Pattie Goldman!

    This card is so pretty, Chrissie! I really like the way you colored that Pansy Garland with colored pencils- it looks great! So happy you were able to meet up with your friend and use some of her DeNami stamps. :)

    Such a sweet card! I love how the colored pencil coloring just pops right off the kraft background. And you were so clever to create your fame this way! Beautiful work. :)

    A different type of frame but definitely qualifies. Your "thinking of you" appears framed. Good job!
