Hello and welcome to a special event with Crafty Secrets, and eclectic Paperie (Shabby) Blog Hop today. I'm so fortunate to be a Designer for both of these fabulous Design Teams, and very talented Designers, so today is very exciting for me to be able to work with both at the same time. :)
I've been on the Crafty Secrets Design Team for quite some time now, and hope I never have to leave. I love all of their quality vintage/shabby products because I'm a shabby kind-a girl, like I've always said "I love all things vintage", and I don't believe that will every change. So working with Crafty Secrets Products is like being a kid in a candy store LOL!!
I haven't been on eclectic Paperie's Design Team very long, but truly love being here. Daisy carries several different product lines including Crafty Secrets, so I get to work with products I never thought I would ever be interested in like "Grunge"... As mentioned above being a vintage/shabby girl, I've learned that "Grunge" fits right into that vintage style that I love so much. So, I'm lovin' being in the position of both Design Teams, that work so well together.
Here's the exciting news... both eclectic Paperie and Crafty Secrets will be giving away prizes; a total of six prizes all together! You can find out more about the prizes on the Heartwarming Vintage and Eeclectic Paperie blogs. The more Design Team Members blogs you visit and leave comments, the more you increase your chances to win one of the 6 prizes. Winners to be announced on Monday, March 21st.
For my projects today, I decided to play with the Wizard of Oz stamp set from Crafty Secrets, and color them using the Copic Markers. Oooh! they color up so nice, and just darling (I think). After I finished coloring the images, I went looking for some patterned paper and embellishments to match. I just love the end results, and look forward to making more of them.
Remember, make sure to visit each Crafty Secrets & E-Team blog participant, see what they created, and leave them some love. The more comments you leave, the more chances you can win 1 of the 6 prizes.
You have until today, Friday, March 18th to Sunday, March 20th to visit each blog participant, and have a chance to win one of those six prize's! Winners will be posted on both the eclectic Paperie blog and on the Crafty Secrets blog on Monday, March 21st.
Be sure and visit the rest of the Design Team members listed below, I'm sure you will not be disappointed.

Love your cards, but am going to aire a complaint through any blog with typepad! Every time I attempt to view a blog from typepad it takes me to a signup page and I have to close that link, then I can open the blog. Maybe someone using typepad can tell us what is happening and why we have to reach a typepad signin page before we can view the blogs.

I love these..all of them. I like the spellbinders embellishments.. the baby card is just adorable. Thank you for sharing.
