Blog Hop Inspiration

If you’ve come today for the blog hop, please see the complete blog hop details post for more information.
As we continue our hop, I’m reminded of just how talented our community and design teams are.  WOW.  I was totally inspired looking at all of the tutorials and I hope you were too! 
If you happened to be just stopping by for the first time, I would like to showcase the very talented team at Passionately Artistic today!  Please feel free to click on the designer blogs for more information about their projects. While you’re there don’t forget to leave a comment to be eligible for the $25 gift certificates!!
Our first Passionately Artistic DT spotlight is Sandee of Simply Southern Sandee

Aren’t these cards fantastic?  I love how the black rhinestones and the baby bling accents just the right places on these beautiful cards.  That medallion is perfect for that sentiment and how I wish I could tie bows like that!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next DT Spotlight is Maggie of Cutting Above:

She used the silver swirl rhinestones and the silver rhinestones to accent her flower centers as well as the frame.  What an elegant touch to finish off this project. Wouldn’t this make a perfect gift for that certain someone who has everything??? 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now comes Terrie of Terrie Bailey’s Blog. She came up with such a wonderful combination of earthy elements and bling.  Who knew they fit so well together!?!

Such a great color combo for the holidays and perfect for my Florida friends as well.  Great idea to make your own pattern using the silver rhinestones, red pearls, and white pearls. . . not to mention then adding it to a diecut border!!!!  FANTASTIC!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next DT highlight is Tracy of the Little Blue House.  You’ve got to see how she combined pearls and metal.  WOW!!!  I was totally impressed.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!  Check how she used the Beautiful Bling Strips to highlight where the star point meet. Such a great idea and I would never have thought to do that.  I LOVE blog hops don’t you???? 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our next spotlight is Ellen of A Little Bit of This:

Now those are the cutest snowman bellies I’ve seen lately!  Such a fun idea and I love how she used the Lecreme baby bling to highlight the centers of the snowflakes.  Those tiny little gems are so versatile. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next is Court from Court’s Crafts:
She also used the baby pearls in a very creative way.  Check out these beauties!
image
From their hats to their little legs and not to mention those adorable eyes!!!  This is so stinkin cute and very appropriate as I’m huddled up in a heating blanket.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and last but certainly not least . . . 
We have come to Melissa of The Art of Scrapbooking who created a mini album using the chipboard album paired with black rhinestones, pearls, and silver rhinestones to name just a few.
image
image
There is so much detail in this one album . . . with many uses for the various rhinestones and pearls.  They all look so wonderful on this album.  WOW. 
I do hope you’ve enjoyed the design spotlight today and if you missed any of the Passionately Artistic creations yesterday, please stop by their blogs and leave some lovin!
