A DAY FOR DAISIES SWEET SUMMER BLOG HOP


It's here ... blog hop day

A DAY FOR DAISIES SWEET SUMMER BLOG HOP!!

If you've arrived here via Janna's blog.... you're on the right track! If not, you might like to return to the first stop, that is HERE!

You have a week to hop and you MUST leave a comment at each Design Team member's blog hop post to be eligible for the grand prize which is the is the July Club release.

Then for the challenge you must use one image, three ways. In other words, create three different projects with the same image and add them to the challenge blog HERE. The winner of the challenge will receive a $12 Gift certificate for the shop. (and who knows - there may be another prize as well!)

To inspire you, take a peep at these three projects:

The first is a Recipe card, with a recipe for Orange Blossom Sorbet.


My second project is a calender for July, with a space to jot down numbers, and will be really handy right next to my telephone.


My third project is a card and the sentiment reads " I love bloomin' marvelous sundaes"

It's that easy!

Did you find the freebies - yes? ..... so you are all set to create some fabulous projects yourself.

Make sure to leave a comment below before you move on the the next blog, that of the amazingly talented LISA, and oh boy, does she have some eye candy for you!

And just in case you are REALLY lost ....

    I can't pick a favorite! They're all just super amazing!!! Love the design of the recipe card and that cool little clothes pin. The calendar is so cute and functional. And the card . . . maybe it's my favorite cause I just absolutely love the soft way you colored it. Paired with the white and the sweet embossing--it's just so pretty! Love them all Jen!

    Very good. I love the simplicity of the card, but with the textured background as part of the spotlight, it just jumps at me and says Hallmar*.
    So professional.
