TPV Green Challenge & Blog Hop! :) :)

It's here! It's time! I'm so excited! :) :)

Good morning! Welcome to the first Paper Variety blog hop! We are so thrilled to announce this week's color challenge, generous prize and sponsor, share our projects with you and offer some BLOG CANDY for hopping today. We have some FABULOUS designers at TPV and want to showcase their personal blogs this week.

I'm first on the hop list so, if you are coming from The Paper Variety challenge blog, you are in the right place!

Our challenge this week is a COLOR challenge in honor of the
upcoming St. Patrick's Day holiday :)


Our returning sponsor for this week's challenge is Your Scrapbook Stash!


In order to win this GRAND PRIZE you need to submit your own
GREEN project to The Paper Variety by Tuesday at NOON. :)

To get you inspired, I want to share with you what I created..


These two handsome guys are my boys, taken during a park stroll last Spring. I used a bunch of different green patterned papers from SR, OA, and JBSoup that all coordinated nicely with eachother. I did alot of stitching on this layout, especially the title- I LOVE how that looks!

Thanks so much for visiting today! It wouldn't be a hop without some BLOG CANDY, right?! I'm offering this MME Stella & Rose "Hattie" 6x6 paper pad as well as a few other coordinating embellies from the same collection! :)

Please become a follower of my blog and leave a comment below to win! You do not need to enter the TPV challenge to win any of the designer's blog candy. :)

However, you ARE going to want to hop to the next design team member to see their GREEN!

Click here to check out Suzanne's GREEN project next!!

We are looking forward to seeing YOUR GREEN at The Paper Variety, too! Remember to link up before TUESDAY at noon for a chance to win this GRAND PRIZE! :)


Happy Hoppin'!!!
