Blog Hop: My 39 & Glamorous Blog Hop

Bonnie's B-Day Hop
Welcome to the My 39 and Glamorous Blog Hop created by Bonnie. Happy Birthday Bonnie!  You should be arriving here from Norma http://pinkblingcrafter.blogspot.com/, if you just stumbled here and would like to hop, click Bonnie http://ascrapabove.blogspot.com/ to start over.



There will be a challenge at the end of the hop, you will need to hop along ALL blogs and "look" for challenge clues. They will not be on each blog..Then link your complete challenge project by due date to Mr. Linky on http://ascrapabove.blogspot.com/, this is the "final" step to be in the drawing for the Scrapbook retreat stay.

Here are the sponsors for this blog hop:

Here is my project. I chose the bling, black, purple and pink part. Those are fortunately the exact colors I was using to scrapbook my daughter's birthday party (to of course match the theme of the party) and I had a few more pictures that I needed to scrap. The first page to this "birthday series" can be seen here.

Here is how it came out:

It was very fun to put together. I have been working with a lot of blues lately so it was nice to change it up :) I designed the corner scallop and rectangular scallop title and created them into SVG. 
I seriously cannot get enough dry embossing in any page.  I love it.  The polka dots, the stars and the square
lattice. Fun fun fun!

Recipe
Colors: SU Basic Black, SU Melon Mambo, SU Lovely Lilac (Retired, Sadly), SU Whisper White
Stamps: SU Party Hearty, SU Afterthoughts
Accessories: SU Embossing Folder Polka Dots, SU Embossing Folder Square Lattice

Here is a closeup of the title!

I am doing two blog hops so the bling is the same for both. I will combine the comments together and choose 
randomly for one winner across the two posts. 
 My lack of organization is your benefit. I found myself with an extra Stampin' Up Embossing Folder named Elegant Lines.  You need a Big Shot for this item (and I believe other machines are compatible like the Cuttlebug). If you don't have a machine to work with it and you are the lucky winner, I also have really fun Stampin' Up Basic Rhinestones that you MUST HAVE.  If you would like to be eligible for this Embossing Folder, if you are not a follower, please follow my blog and leave a comment below!

Totally makes them all just pop! Thanks for the chance to win! I just got my big shot and would love to try it out with a new folder. Hint, hint ;) LOL Thanks again!
