Quietfire Design Spring Blog Hop

 Welcome to your final stop in our (almost!) week long Spring Blog Hop! Thanks so much for taking the time to visit us each day. I hope you've left your comment on every blog.  Make sure you check back to see if your name has been drawn as a winner.

We have been celebrating the honour of Quietfire Design becoming a Preferred Product Partner with Spellbinders™ Paper Arts.  We are so excited!  Our objective was to show you some of the ways you can combine Quietfire Design rubber stamps with Spellbinders Dies.  You can find a slide show on the Quietfire homepage with even more examples (and I think I can add even more to that slideshow now!)

A HUGE thanks to the Quietfire Design Team and Alumni and our Created byhand Challenge Shephardess for their beautiful creations and enthusiasm!  They have really enjoyed your comments.  We've learned a lot this week and I hope you have, too! A round of applause for them! Here is the list of their blogs once again. Visit anytime, they'd be delighted to hear from you.

Suzanne Cannon (right here!)


Here is how you win today's prize:

Each day a lucky participant will win one of the Quietfire Rubber stamps used that day plus Suzanne's choice of Spellbinders™ die! To enter, simply comment below by midnight EST and you will be eligible for a random draw.

The winner will be announced here tomorrow. If your name is announced, please claim your prize by emailing me within 48 hours or we will draw again!

Here is my artwork contribution to the Blog Hop:
 
The Queen of Everything Crown!
If you are signed up to received the newsletters, you will received notice when I have uploaded the directions for making this crown.  And you'll read who won prizes this week, too!

Here are the Spellbinders™ Dies I used for this project:
Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities Fleur De Lis Doily Accents
Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities Banner Basics 2
Spellbinders™ Nestabilities Classic Ovals Small
Spellbinders™ Nestabilities Classic Ovals Large

Quietfire Design Rubber Stamps:

So leave your comment below to be eligible to win today's prizes - and come back tomorrow to see if you won in our random draw.
Thanks for visiting.  It's been our pleasure!
