Zva Creative May DT Blog Hop!

Zva Creative and the Design Team welcomes you to join us this month for a blog hop that we feel is always extra special!

As you know, Zva offers so many beautiful color groupings for pearls, flowers and crystals. We want to make sure that they shine bright for you, so each designer was asked to share a creation using a specific color or color combination on their blog hop project.

The Blog Hop begins at Kim Hughes' blog. She will have the complete list of all blogs that are participating in case there is a glitch along the way. If you would like to play along, just follow along the blog path. I am linking to one of the Zva designers and that designer is linking to the next and so on. Be prepared to be inspired along the way. Hidden on FIVE of the blogs is a Zva Creative prize package ...YAY! Winners will be randomly chosen after the hop is over, so it's important to leave a comment on as many blogs as you can along the way.

The Blog Hop starts today, May 30th and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, May 31st and the 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, June 1st on each of the five winning blogs. The full list will be found on Kim Hughes‘s blog as well (linked above). We will do our best to notify each winner, but it's best if you can pop in to all of the blogs once again on Wednesday...plus, you never know what kind of inspirational creation that you may find there. All you need to do is leave a comment on this Zva Blog Hop post...you do not need to leave a comment on each and every designer's blog post to qualify. The more times you leave a comment along the blog hop path though, the more chances you will have to be one of the lucky winners.

Wedding Invites

Last weekend I spent the WHOLE weekend making wedding invites. I have about 50 done, only about 150 to go! lol. I had to take a break after that to work on other assignments. Thank goodness for my Cricut though! I used my Paper Lace cartridge to make the title and my Mother's Day Bouquet Cart to make the flowers.


The Cricut blog is in full swing! The DT girls are already posting beautiful projects and tutorials! Here's a little card that I created with the Cricut decals cartridge.



I am so grateful to be sitting at home with my family today. A bunch of tornados hit Oklahoma yesterday and destroyed many homes in it's path. They ended up skipping our town but other towns were not so lucky. Please pray for those people! This is the first tornado warning that we've had in our town since we moved here. When the sirens went off I freaked, ran to my neighbors house and we went to her Grandma's because she had a tornado shelter, thank God! Last night and today I have been nagging John that we need to buy a storm shelter now. I'd rather be a few thousand dollars in debt instead of losing my family due to tornado! We'll see if he gives in.

In TWO DAYS Alex is done with school, woo! I can't wait to start sleeping in again! His Pre-K graduation ceremony was today. It was pretty much the most adorable thing ever. :)

Broken

My sister in law, Suzy, came to visit up from Wyoming this week. I love her, she's so much fun! Here are just a few snapshots from her visit:


We went to Hooters as well and John got him a tshirt, not my idea! :)  Still funny though.



Tomorrow Jennifer is coming up from Texas for a couple days and Chelsea is coming over on Thursday and Friday to help me make my wedding invites! I realized that with everything that I have to make and finish there's no way that I can make all of my wedding invites on my own. Sometimes I get a little too excited and inspired and bite off way more than I can chew! Thank you for helping me, Chelsea!

Johnny gave me a charm bracelet for Mother's Day, I love it! He's so sweet. :)
