The Paper Variety Blog Hop (and a Giveaway!)

Hello! For those of you hopping along with us at The Paper Variety, welcome to my blog!  Aren't the TPV designers amazing?!  I'm excited to share my project with you, too.  But first, the hop details:

You should have arrived from Yara's blog.  If not, and you'd like to join in the hop, start here. Our challenge this week is a COLOR challenge in honor of the upcoming St. Patrick's Day holiday.


Our sponsor for this week's challenge is Your Scrapbook Stash.


In order to win this GRAND PRIZE you need to submit your own GREEN project to The Paper Variety by Tuesday at NOON. If you submit before Sunday evening, you have a chance to have your blog featured on TPV!


I've been dying to play with Echo Park's new "For the Record" line, so when this challenge came along I knew the greens in the papers would be perfect.  Isn't my little man adorable in his new church clothes?



I'd love to say thank you for stopping by with some blog candy, i.e. goodies from my Etsy shop, Precocious Paper.  Just leave a comment below, follow my blog, and you could receive this sweet St. Patrick's Day mini sampler filled with handmade flowers:


The winner of the blog candy will be announced next Wednesday :).  Well, my blog just about wraps things up :).  I'm really looking forward to seeing your GREEN creations.  Be sure to link us up at The Paper Variety blog so that we can gush over your papercrafting and enter you to win the awesome prize from Your Scrapbook Stash.  Thanks for hopping with us today!  Tessa
