Make Up Your Own Holiday Blog Hop




Good Morning Everyone,




Welcome to the Make Up Your Own Holiday Blog Hop. You should have arrived here from Diane at Crafting This Moment http://www.craftingthismoment.blogspot.com/ . If you just stumbled accross the hop, and you'd like to start at the beginning, hop over to Karelj's blog at http://www.kareljcreations.com/ to start at the beginning. Something else that is exciting for today is that it is my day to be guest designer on Karelj's blog. Be sure to stop by and check it out. Karel is also the host of the hop. http://www.kareljcreations.com/




"Karelj is offering an over-all blog candy for those who are hopping along with us. She thought it would be fun to have some holiday-themed candy for this hop--but, of course,made-up holiday items were hard to come by! She decided to do a whole bunch of *regular* holiday themed stamps for you to enjoy. From Fiskars, there is an assorted holiday set; there's an alphabet from All Night Media, a set of 100 plus clear stamps and a storage case from Family Memories, and 5 sets of clear stamps from various dollar bins in big box stores. How to win them? Follow along the blog trail, leaving a comment on each and every blog. On Monday,Karelj will ask her buddy Randy (random.org) to select a blog number (from the list), a day (Saturday is one, Sunday is two), and a comment number from that blog. Please make sure you have left a reliable way to contact you(e-mail is best,in the safe format of **** at **** dot.com) so you can be notified by her personally. If you don't, she'll have to select another winner."




On to my post. My Holidayfor this hop is Tropical Hawaiian Day. What a great way to get out of the winter blues and start thinking about summer time. I love spring and summer weather. Here CA we have been having alot of rain. I'm so ready for the nice spring and summer weather. I made a Tropical Hawaiian Card to share with you. Enjoy!!




Blog Candy give away. I will be giving away a stamp called Punch Bunch from Stampin' Up! It is a clear mount stamp set. It is from Sale-bration. Winner will be posted on Monday. Please be sure to check back on Monday to see if you are the lucky winner!!! Please leave a comment and become a follower for your chance to win.




After my stop, you should head over to Gina at Gina Thornton Stamping at http://ginathorntonstamping.blogspot.com/ to see what she has in store for you!




Happy Stampin,


Nicolette
