Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions Grand Opening Hop

For my Challenge and Giveaway at Do More For Less, click HERE
For the Second Week of the Prima Doll Blog Hop, click HERE


Welcome to the Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions Grand-Opening Hop!

As you hop along each stop will be showcasing items that can be found in the NEW Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions online store.

The Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions store focuses mainly on brads and eyelets. However, it does have a few other crafty notions that you can't live without, along with being very proud to carry May Arts ribbon.


I used several products from the Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions store for my projects.


The paper for the card is from my stash. All of the edges were inked with Tim Holtz Festive Berries Distress Ink. The notebook page was cut with a Spellbinders Office Supplies die. The letters are a Sizzix Wingo Dingo font. The gorgeous ribbon and twine are from Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions, as are the sparkly brads on the corners.


The circles are Spellbinders Beaded Circles dies and Standard Circles Small dies. The adorable apple brads are from Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions. The stickers are from my stash.


I just love the huge paperclip from the Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions store. The circles are Spellbinders Beaded circles and Standard Circles Small dies. The adorable apple is a Spellbinders Assorted Fruit die. It was inked with TH Festive Berries and Peeled Paint Distress Inks. The adorable face is a Peachy Keen Critter Faces A stamp. The awesome glasses brad is from Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions, as is the ribbon.


I am entering this in the following challenges:
  1. Craft It Up & Link It Up - Back to School
  2. DL.Art - Thankful Thursday - August Anything Goes
  3. Sunday Funday - August Linky Party

    My sweetest friend, my heart always smiles when I see yet another person/company wanting you to showcase and celebrate their products. :o) You are something special! This project is incredible. The card is so bright and happy, filled with so many details to love. The notepad paper is an amazing touch and I love those apple brads! What a brilliant use of them. The ribbon is beautiful and I adore that huge paperclip! How sweet is the apple with the glasses and PK face. :o) It's always a joy to see your work, my dear Lisa. Always know how happy you make me. :o) (And a billion other people.) I hope you're having a sparkly day. :o)

    Hugs and blessings!
