Seasons Givings Blog Hop 2017


Welcome to the Seasons Givings Blog Hop!

As has become my tradition, I'm participating in this blog hop today
 because of you, my blog readers.
I truly appreciate each one of you.... that you take the time to come & visit my blog
& comment on my projects... it means so much to me!
And so, this blog hop is being held for you, as a way for me to say "thank you".

For those of you who are new to my blog, I welcome you to check it out.

Each stop on the hop is hosting a giveaway. 
So make sure you comment on each one to be eligible to win each prize.

My giveaway consists of nine prizes.

That's right.
Nine prizes, all comprised of Reverse Confetti stamps and dies.
There are five to six stamp sets in each prize pack, along with the coordinating dies.

Here is a photo of each one.
(If you'd like to see them bigger, just click on the photo to enlarge it.)


To be eligible to win one of these prize packs, you need to leave a comment here
on my blog by Friday, January 5th, 2018, at 7pm CST.
I will announce the winners on Saturday, the 6th.

If there is a certain prize that you would prefer, 
leave the number with your comment and I will see what I can do.
No promises, though. ;)

And here's the card I wanted to share with you....
a thank you to all of my wonderful readers!


I started by stamping my Altenew Adore You blooms and leaves in versafine black onyx ink
onto my watercolour paper and heat embossed them in clear.
Then, I coloured them in using my new Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolours that my kids
gave me for Christmas.
I also coloured in the background and spritzed on some extra ink for depth.


I stamped my sentiment (from Simon Says Stamp's Many Thanks stamp set) 
in versafine black onyx ink onto a strip of vellum and heat embossed it in black.
I layered it over my watercolored panel and adhered it to a piece of aqua mist cardstock.

Before you go, I welcome you to follow my blog & click on the link to do so on the sidebar,
but it is not necessary for you to do so to win a prize.

Next on the hop is my talented friend, Marcie Sharp.

Here's the complete list of all of the Season's Givings Blog Hop participants:


Happy New Year!

Thanks for looking!

Kari said...

Wow! I think I gasped out loud when I read the blog nine prizes. That is way beyond generous, if I should possibly win one of those sets I would be happy with anyone you chose. I had a closer look at the sets and they are all great stamps, with great subject matter. I believe it would be easy to use any of them. Thank you so much for generosity. By the way I loved your thank you card it was simple, clean, but very elegant. Well thank you once again for the chance and I want to wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year, take care Kari

Package 7, then 8 and then 2 look great to me! I enjoyed your card and the way that you cut down on all the white space by the light aqua shadow around the central flowers and then coordinating it with the card.

Susan T said...

Thanks for the chance to pick up some blog candy and the chance to pick a favorite. I just adore everything about #3. It would really make my day if I was the lucky recipient of the set. Happy 2018 and I cannot wait to stop at your blog again. I have been following you forever...found you from papertrey ink.

You're so generous! I love this blog hop!

My favorite is #4, but i'd be happy with whatever.

Angela Walters said...

Awww...this giveaway kind of makes me sad! I originally came to your blog through Reverse Confetti. I know from being subscribed to your blog that you aren't designing for them anymore, but it's still a little sad to see you giving away all their stamps. On the other hand, I admire your ability to purge and move on! I still have stamps from 15+ years ago! Have a wonderful New Year with your beautiful family!

Clara Kubert said...

What a very generous giveaway! I would love to have any of them as I don't have them. A great blog!

Clara said...

A great blog! Thanks for the opportunity to win these great prizes! I would be delighted to have any of the sets.

Paulette S said...

Hi Leigh! Happy New Year! Beautiful cards on your blog! I’m going to subscribe. =D I really like 2, 3, 5 are my favorite and 6 would be fun too! Thanks so much! Paulette Still
