Craft-Dee BowZ Christmas Holiday Blog Hop

Welcome to the Craft-Dee BowZ Christmas Holiday Blog Hop.

Oh, Christmas is such a special time of year. The colors, the images, the gifts, and.........well everything about Christmas is special. It's fun decorating and just getting everything ready for that special day.

The elves (also known as the design team members) have been hard at work getting projects ready to inspire you. So if you are still looking for that perfect thing, you know, a card, or some decoration, check out what we have to share with you.

Craft-Dee BowZ has a small design team so it won't take you long to visit all the team members and leave comments. Leaving comments on the blogs of all the team members will make you eligible to win your very own Craft-Dee BowZ tool. The winner will be announced on Sat. Dec. 6. To claim your prize you must contact us by email (bbruder@fuse.net) by Saturday Dec. 13. That will give you a week to claim your prize.

Sit down for a quick breather and enjoy our blog hop.

Today we are going to start off  with a gorgeous creation from Donna, the owner of Craft-Dee BowZ.

Here is what Donna has to say about her very creative card.

The Birch Tree Scene

Hello bow makers!  This is your first stop for the blog hop and I have a card that shows my (other) obsession with Impression Obsession dies.  Don't forget to leave a comment to have your name in the drawing for a Craft-Dee BowZ tool for completing the blog hop.  You MUST have entered a comment with each designer to qualify.

I fell in love with Impression Obsession dies last year and my heart did a special flutter when I saw the new birch trees and cardinals.  This card can be used for  many different occasions both for male or female.  I adhered the birch trees and cardinals on blue card stock first.  I then cut an oval out of white card stock using my Spellbinders oval die and imposed a fancy die over the opening.  I then attached the birch trees in back of the white opening.  The addition of a perky checkered bow made on my Craft-Dee BowZ tool and some pine trees by Impression Obsession completed the look.  This was all mounted on a red card base.



Thank you one and all for your support and for playing along in 2014 with our Challenges and Blog Hops.  And good luck to one lucky winner!

Next you will want to hop over to Dana's blog to see what she has created just for you. 

Here is the list of the designers in case you get lost.

Exciting news

Hi Everyone,
Saturday is the start of June, the month we most associate with weddings. That happens to be the theme we chose for this month here at Craft-Dee BowZ, so you will be seeing projects his month that showcase that theme.

I have exciting news for you all. First, we have a guest designer joining us this month. We are so excited to be able to bring you the wonderfully talented Dana Tatar and here is her pic and bio:

Hi! My name is Dana Tatar and I am a stay-at-home mom currently living in Florida with my husband and two young daughters. I started scrapbooking to preserve memories after the birth of my first daughter and now I enjoy the creative outlet.

I love to mix products from different collections on my projects and I frequently find inspiration in music, poetry and pop culture. I love fussy cutting and flowers and both can be seen on the majority of my projects. My dominant scrappy styles are clean and simple and pretty chic, but I do like to mix things up a bit, depending on the paper or photos I want to use. I'm an active blogger and I like to share my tips and ideas. I create a little of everything, including layouts, cards, tags, artist trading cards, arches and small gift and home decor items.

When I'm not scrapping, I enjoy cooking and baking, reading, listening to music and spending time outdoors with my family and basset hound.

I am so excited to be a Guest Designer for Craft-Dee BowZ and I'm looking forward to sharing my work and my perfect bows! I love visitors, so please stop by my blog, They Call Me Tatar Salad!

More exciting news!!! Thursday June 6 is the next blog hop and the theme is Butterflies and Flowers. I can't wait to see everyone's awesome creations.  Also we are all pleased that Dana will be joining the blog hop this month. We've asked Dana to show off more of her creativity and she's graciously accepted an invitation to post here on Friday June 14. She will be showing something special I'm sure. So stay tuned because June is going to be a fun and busy month here at Craft-Dee BowZ.

Speaking of fun, just a reminder that we host a challenge here at Craft-Dee BowZ each month. May was our first month and whew!!! what a response we've had. Winners are chosen on merits and the top winner will receive a Craft-Dee BowZ tool. How awesome is that.

I will be back Saturday to announce the May challenge winner and announce the theme for June's challenge. I will also be back again on Tuesday June 4 with my regular monthly post. I can't wait to show you my creation, remember it's going to be a wedding theme. Don't forget, all of the other designers are busy getting their creations designed and ready for you to view on their regular Tuesday posts. See I told you it was going to be a fun and busy month.

See you Saturday for the June Challenge and the May Challenge winner,

Barbara
