Prima - Julie Nutting Doll Hop (Week 2)

WOW!  Have you seen the Prima Julie Nutting Mixed Media Doll stamps?  They are ADORABLE! 

A few of us are having so much fun with them that we’ve decided to put together a 4 Part HOP and the rules are very simple.  Each Tuesday throughout the month of August we will be sharing creations made with a variety of these fabulous stamps to inspire you.   

All you will need to do is HOP to each of our blogs each Tuesday in August and leave us a comment.  

 Be sure to include your email address because on August 30^th we will EACH BE GIVING AWAY A PRIZE.  We will be sharing what our individual prize packages are on our blogs.  REMEMBER … you will need to comment EACH TUESDAY to qualify for the prize!  AND … if you share our hop info on your blog, your name will go in twice towards the prize.  WAIT THERE’S MORE!  If you become a follower/subscriber you get a THIRD CHANCE!!

So what do you say?   

Are you ready for WEEK 2 of our hop??

This week we girls are creating our Prima Doll Projects with SUMMER in mind and here's what I've come up with.

When I think of kicking off SUMMER, my thoughts go directly to the 4th of July!  So, with that in mind, I decided to create this 8x10 standing easel.  Believe me when I say I just started pulling out ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that was red, white & blue related ... then started picking & choosing what to put together.  What fun! 

DARLENE (Dar's Crafty Creations) YOU ARE HERE!

Be sure to hop over to EACH of the girls blogs and leave some love!!

  REMEMBER:  By leaving a comment at EACH blog EACH week in August, YOU will qualify for the prizes being offered!

AND, it would be VERY HELPFUL if you  

• add your email address
• let us know you've become a follower
• let us know you've shared this hop on your blog.

Those last two items will get your name put in the hat additional times so we don't want to miss anyone!
