Welcome to the Cookin' Up Creations Blog Hop

Hello & welcome to the first ever Cookin' up Creations Winter Wonderland of Embellishments Blog Hop. You should have hopped here from Naureen's blog if not, head back to the Cookin' Up Creations Blog and start from the very beginning.

We at Cookin' up Creations thought it would be a great idea to focus on Embellishments this month, as we have had lots of generous "embellishment" sponsors ....and we want to share with you. Along the Hop, you'll come across Challenges, Questions, and even Tutorials on different ways to use embellishments.

If a blog requires you to complete a challenge, then please upload your completed challenge into the Embellishment Blog Hop Album before the end of the Blog Hop on January 22nd, 2010. All participating "blog hoppers" must be registered members in the gallery! The Cookin' up Creations Blog was your 1st stop and you are now at the 7th stop of the hop.

I have a challenge for you at this stop of the hop -- what I would like for you to do is combine two embellishments on your project -- sounds easy, and you can be as creative as you would like! Here I used a big brad (you know you have some of these in your stash as well) and acrylic stamps while also creating my own paper flower using coffee filters -- I just took several filters, and gradually cut them down one by one until they were all in varying sizes. Then I crinkled and distressed using some Tim Holtz distress inks.



Thanks for stopping by, make sure you leave your comment on this post, to be entered to win. After you have visited all the blogs and made a comment on each one, be sure to go back to the Cookin' up Creations Blog and post when you are finished. Thanks for hopping with us! Your next stop is Kimberly.
