Zva Creative September DT Blog Hop!

Hello friends! Zva Creative and our talented Design Team welcome you to our September blog hop!  Thank you for joining us today and we hope you enjoy all that we have created to share.

The hop begins at Zva Creative’s blog! Be sure head on over to check it out! You will also find a complete list of all the participating blogs there (in case there is a glitch along the way). 

As you know, Zva offers many beautiful color groupings for pearls, flowers and crystals.  If you like what you see along the hop you can find a list of stores and online retailers that sell Zva HERE.

For today's project I used the following Zva Product:

CR-04CB-113 (Red Crystal flourishes)

If you would like to play along with our design team, 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!

The Blog Hop starts today, September 28th and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, September 29th.

***Prizes***

Hidden on FIVE of the blogs along the way is a Zva Creative prize package! Winners will be randomly chosen after the hop is over. All you need to do is leave a comment on one post... you do not need to leave a comment on each and every designer's blog post to qualify. However, the more times you comment along the blog hop path, the more chances you will have to win. 

The 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, September 30th on Zva Creative’s Facebook page. We will do our best to notify each winner, but it's best if you can pop in to Zva’s page on Wednesday to see if you are a winner!

The blog hop begins here at Zva Creative’s blog. Your next stop is 

IRENE TAN!! Enjoy!

Thank you for joining us!

P.S. Mark your calendar to join us again on October 26^th for our next Zva blog hop!

Until next time,

Happy Creating!!!
