Thankful Thoughts Blog Hop...

Fall is such a marvelous time of year! God's great bounty is so very visible - in the harvest of crops that will sustain us through the coming winter, in the glorious display of leaves and foliage, and in so many other ways! It is little wonder that we find ourselves feeling thankful thoughts at this time of year particularly, though it is good to be thankful at all times.

Please join us today for the "Thankful Thoughts Blog Hop" as the Deedee's Digis Design Team shares with you some of the ways we express our thankful thoughts through papercrafting. We hope our projects will inspire you to share some thankful thoughts of your own.

Here's how the hop works:

• To participate, visit each of the participating designers' blogs to see a fun project using one of Deedee's Digis, and leave a comment on their post for a chance to win a free digi of your choice from the store. You have until 12 noon ET on Sunday to comment. Each designer will choose a winner Sunday evening, and we'll announce them on the Crafting with Deedee's Digis craft blog on Monday. Please be sure to check back then to see if you have won. 

• Below is the list of designers, but make sure you start at Crafting with Deedee's Digis and leave a comment for a chance to win a $15 credit at Deedee's Digis. Again, you have until 12 noon ET on Sunday to comment, and the winner will be announce on the craft blog.

• Finally, another reason to visit the craft blog, there's a treat/free digi for you as a token of how thankful we are for your support of Deedee's Digis, Crafting with Deedee's Digis and the design team. The freebie will only be there until Sunday evening, so be sure to snag it before then.

Here is my project for the Blog Hop! I made this cute box for gift giving to a special person in your life. The template is from Splitcoast Stampers resource section, and you'd be surprised at all the fun projects you can find to make for the upcoming holidays.  My image is one of Deedee's adorable bears called "Little Things" and the sentiment is computer generated!

Thank you so much for stopping by, and your next stop is Sandy's blog!!

Golden Birthday Blog Hop!

Today my sister, Darsie Bruno, is celebrating her GOLDEN birthday -- that's right -- the big 5-0! Such a momentous occasion calls for a party, don't you think? So the Deedee's Digis design team is throwing her one -- a GOLDEN BIRTHDAY BLOG HOP -- and we invite you to be part of the fun!!! 

Here's how you can join the party:

Visit each of our participating designers' blogs to see what special birthday creation they have made. You'll want to visit them in the order listed below, because ...

In addition to sharing some creative fun, each designer will also have a letter (of the alphabet) to share with you. If you put all the letters together, it will spell out the special code with which to claim your party favor. Email the code to Deedee at amiste@sonic.net and she'll send you the new "Happy Birthday to Ewe" digi!

Once you've collected your party favor, please stop by the birthday girl's blog and leave her some love! On Monday, Darsie will choose one random winner from among her well-wishers who will receive a GOLDEN grand prize -- a $50 credit to spend at Deedee's Digis store!

Alright, let's get to partying! The Blog Hop starts at Crafting with Deedee's Digis, and here are the rest of the  blogs to visit today:

MY SPECIAL LETTER IS:  "I"

Here is my card creation using the "Unlikely Places" digistamp set! Your next stop is Sandy's blog!

Stamping Dragon Designs Birthday Bash Blog Hop

Whoo Hoo! It's time for the final event to wrap up the week of Birthday celebrations with Stamping Dragon Designs. We had a wonderful time celebrating Janette's (the owner) birthday and hopefully you have all had a blast playing along with the design team in the fun contests to celebrate! If you missed out on any events, you still have time to play in the "Name the paper pack and win it" contest and the "Guess How Many" contest.

Now it is time for the big event. The birthday blog hop! Many of our design team are offering blog candy.. Some may be posted in their hop post. Some may be a mystery, so you will have to leave us all some love (comments), in order to win! Just hop along to all our blogs and leave us a comment to celebrate the birthday, for your chance to win some great prizes! Please remember, that in order to win, you MUST comment on every blog in the hop AND become a follower of Stamping Dragon Designs. (We will check to make sure the winners have commented on all blogs) Along the way, you will get to see some wonderful creations using digi images by Stamping Dragon Designs. You have until the end of the day on August 31 to participate in the festivities. Winners will be announced by Sept 2.

If you arrived here from the blog of our wonderful creator, Janette, then you are on the right track. If not, you will want to go back to the Stamping Dragon Designs website and start from the beginning.

In celebration of Stamping Dragon Designs birthday, and the birthday of Janette herself, Janette created this special digi stamp above. This wonderful image is called Rupert's Birthday. Right now, for a limited time only, you can get this image for your very own, for just 99 cents, in the store.

Now, let me show you what I did with this awesome image. Here is my card, below, created especially to celebrate the birthdays of Janette and Stamping Dragon. I had fun coloring this fabulous image with Copic Markers, then mounted it to designer paper from the Paper Studio. I punched my edges with the Martha Stewart Scalloped Border punch, and my ribbon is from Michael's. My sentiment is a Dollar Store stamp and I stamped it with Marvy black ink and finished the card off with green rhinestones.

Don't forget to leave comments on all the blogs as you hop along, for your chances to win some wonderful blog candy. I am offering the Birthday Wishes Borders & Centers stamp set from JustRite Stampers. (You can purchase the stamper separately from their website). You must leave a comment on all of our blogs and become a follower on the Stamping Dragon Designs blog to be eligible for the blog candy and prizes being offered this week! Make sure to finish all your hopping and commenting no later than Midnight, August 31st to have a chance to win!

Now, head on over to Claire's blog, to see what she created for your viewing pleasure.
