Meljen's Designs Lots-O-Lovin' Blog Hop

Hello and thank you for stopping by for the party.  The hop starts today, February 3 at 8:00 am eastern time and ends February 8 at 8:00 pm eastern time.  So, what are we celebrating?  Well, Meljen's Design Team has added 3 lovely new team members ... yay!  The new designers are Candace, Darsie, and Robbie and you'll get to see their amazing work when you stop by their blogs.

If  you've arrived here from the Meljen's Designs Challenge and Inspiration Blog,  then you're in the right place.  If not, then go there to start the blog hop.

And what are the prizes you can win on this blog hop, you ask?  Well, there's One Grand Prize of four digis of the winner's choice.  You have to complete the entire blog hop and leave some love on each of the Design Team member's blogs in order to be eligible for the Grand Prize.  Be sure you finish your hop at the Meljen's Designs Challenge and Inspiration Blog for this prize.

You can also win a prize just by leaving a comment on my blog.  I will be giving away a Lovey Pup (see below) image to one lucky random winner ... so you have more chances of winning in this hop!  The other dt members are also giving away an image on their blogs.   

I used Lovey Pup on my card today.  He's so cute, who wouldn't love receiving a card with this adorable puppy?  I used my copics and colored pencils and added a little stickles to some of the hearts.  I added a doily and  used my Martha Stewart lace heart punch for the border.  A bow with a little button finished it off.

Some Exciting News!

It's finally Friday.  I thought it would never get here.  For weeks now I have been keeping a secret and today I finally get to share my news with all of you!  Meljen's Designs (one of the hottest new digital stamp lines around) asked ME (yes, me!) to be on their Design Team.  How awesome is that?

I love Melissa Jenkin's images.  Her images are so cute and if you know me or follow my blog, you know I LOVE cute.  So, when I was asked if I wanted to be on their team, I had to say YES!  Seven fabulously creative designers have been added to the existing team so the team has doubled in size.  Tons of inspiration will be coming your way here on my blog and at the Meljen's Designs Blog, especially on Thursdays where we have a new release and a new challenge each week.  Each challenge gives you a chance to win free images, too, so I hope you play along!

Today marks the beginning of a three-day BLOG HOP PARTY to meet the newly expanded team.  If you are already HOPPING, you should have come here from Andrea's blog.  If you didn't come from Andrea's, check the list below to see the order of the Blog Hop.

This is the card I made to celebrate our Blog Hop.  My image, Free Kittens, can be found here.  I colored my image with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol.  My papers are BoBunny and Bazzill.  I added some punched greenery and flowers and used a pearl in the center of my flower.  I  put some Stickles on the little hearts to give them some sparkle.   Thank you for letting me share my exciting news with you. 

From here, you should go to Audrey's blog.  She's so talented and you're going to love what she created!  Be sure to leave some love on each DT member's blog.  Then your final stop will be at Meljen's Designs Blog where you'll want to check out the new release and join us in the new challenge.  Oh, did I mention that there's a prize at the end?  Now, HOP, HOP, HOP!
