Let It Snow for Friends With Flair -- and blog candy!

It's been a busy, but fun week for me!  Valentine's Day stretches into a week of events at the nursing home.  We make the most of every holiday to brighten lives, so it was a high energy, long- hour work week for me.  But it's Friday, and a particularly exciting day for me!

I've been bursting with excitement, but sworn to secrecy until today.  I am now on 2 design teams!  Yes, today it becomes official!  Welcome one of the newest members to the 3 Girl Jam design team.  If you haven't visited the 3 Girl Jam store, you are in for a treat.  They sell wonderful things, including the most beautiful crinkle ribbon I've ever used.  And I'm designing for them.  Woot!!

It's also the day that my design team project is featured on the other company's blog I design for, cropchocolate.com.  If you haven't visited their blog, check it out here. Cropchocolate.com sells many great deals a day, plus there's a super community of talented scrapbookers and cardmakers there.  If you're not familiar with cropchocolate.com, you are in for a treat.

Here's the project I have up on the cropchocolate blog today:


It's been a snowy week here in NW Wisconsin, so it's a perfect day to show this layout.  It's my 12-year old Golden, Molly, and me, frolicking in our yard. I used Fancy Pants Blissful Blizzard 12x12 papers, My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart "Be Happy" baker's twine, Close to My Heart barn red card stock, Liquid Pearls (white opal), Icicle Stickles, a Tonic snowflake punch, my Silhouette to cut out the snow globe shapes and letters, and Unity's Snowglobe Wonderland stamp set. There are details on how I made this layout on the cropchocolate blog.

Here's a close up of the Unity stamp I used.

Perfect for Molly and I, don't you think?

And now, for your chance to win some blog candy.  I have a Unity stamp, some ribbon, a 6x6 paper pad, and some embellishments that I'd love to give to a good scrappy home to help celebrate my new design team assignment.  To be eligible to win, please follow my blog and leave a comment on this post.  That's it!  I'll choose the winner next week.

But first!! Before you go...the three new members of the 3 Girl Jam design team will be featured tomorrow on their blog.  Stop by and see my project.  I'll post it here, too, for you.  And, I'm a guest designer on the Market Street Stamps blog Monday, Feb. 18.  Please come back and visit my blog that day after you check out the post at MSS.  If you like dogs, you'll like the story behind my project.  It's a great one, I promise!

Early March will be my one-year blogoversary.  I've been busy gathering friends for a celebratory blog hop with LOTS of goodies given away.  Mark your calendars to hop with us March 1-3!  Join in on Julie's Blogoversary Blog Hop!

Thanks for celebrating with me!

    Love the layout. The snowglobe makes such a great frame! You and Molly look like you're having a blast together! I always wondered what Atticus would think of snow... :)
    As for his giant bone? I wouldn't usually get one that big but it was the last rawhide in the entire store! Poor guy keeps getting stuck in doorways when he tries to walk around with it!
