10K Subscriber Celebration Hop

Hello, friends! Welcome to my 10K Subscriber Celebration Video Hop! This is such an exciting day for me. To help me celebrate hitting this awesome milestone, I've asked some of my most talented crafty friends to join me in bringing you a very special video hop. And I have incredible prizes to give away from some of my most favorite companies. Please scroll all the way down to the bottom of the post for the complete list of hoppers and also how to be entered in the prize drawings.

I made a super fun pop-up card for my video today, using supplies from all my hop sponsors. But rather than talk about how I created it, I'm going to let my video speak for itself and instead talk about YOU! I want to thank all of you who have followed, liked, commented, and subscribed to me along this amazing crafty journey! I seriously could not do it without you. You ladies (and gents) are such an encouragement to me, and your support means more than you'll ever know. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My video is first up on the hop. Please click the YouTube icon at the bottom right corner of the video if you'd like to watch it there in HD. And if you don't already subscribe, I'd love for you to do so.

Here is the complete hop order, in case you get lost anywhere along the way. I also have the full list in my description bar below my video on YouTube.

Make A Wish, Ellie

Good morning, friends! Today I wanted to share a card using the adorable WPlus9 Unforgettable stamps and dies. This set is still one of my most favorites, because I just adore this sweet little elephant. She'd bring a smile to any face!

I gave her a little hat and balloon to hold and some bird friends to really make it a party! Images were all colored with Copic markers.

I also wanted to just let you know that one week from today I'll be kicking off my 10K Subscriber YouTube Celebration Hop! I've got lots of special guests and some awesome prizes to give away so be sure to stay tuned for that.

I hope you all have an amazing weekend! It's Friday! Yay!

Consider Yourself Hugged - 2016 Valentine Card Series #3

It's finally Friday! Woohoo! And time for the next installment in my 2016 Valentine Card Series. Today I'm playing with the WPlus9 Wishing You stamp set, along with a sentiment from Happy Mail. And I just had to break out my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens again. I'm having so much fun playing with them.

I'm mass-producing valentines today for the Cards From The Heart Card Drive that benefits the kids at St. Jude's Children's Hospital. I wanted to create a simple layout with minimal supplies that would still look cute, of course, so I could really crank out the cards and bless as many kids as possible. If you haven't looked into this Card Drive, I highly recommend it. It is such a worthy cause.

I hope you enjoy the video! Please click on the YouTube icon at the bottom right if you'd like to watch it there in HD, and please don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to let YouTube know you'd like to see more videos from me.

I did an ombre effect with my shading on the bunnies, starting with the darkest color on the outside edge, and working my way to the light on the insides where they meet. I'd like to enter this into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday: Ombre Challenge. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Seasons Givings Bloghop - 2015 In Review

Happy New Year, crafty friends! 2015 has come to a close and it's time for a fresh new start. Time to pursue those crafty dreams in earnest, whether it be making a card every week, or every day, participating in challenges, starting a YouTube Channel, or wherever your heart is leading you.

Today I'm thrilled to be taking part once again in the Season's Givings Blog Hop, where every single one of us will be hosting a giveaway in gratitude for another wonderful year of love and support in the crafting community. Stay tuned to the end of the post for my giveaway details.

But first, I want to share with you my Top 15 cards of 2015. Many of these were also featured as videos on my YouTube Channel. If you're not a blog follower or a subscriber already, I'd love for you to become one!

Now for my giveaway. For 2016 I am challenging myself to shop my stash more often, use what I have, or pass it on to someone else who can use it. So that's exactly what I'm doing today. I'm giving away two BRAND NEW, never used stamp sets and one new die set from Mama Elephant. The set on the left is Around We Go and includes the matching dies, the other is called On Target. Both are absolutely perfect for Valentines Day, anniversaries, or just love cards in general.

To Enter:

leave me a comment (including a way to contact you) on this post by Friday January 8th at 11:59 PM EST. I'll draw a winner on Saturday.

And again, if you'd like to follow my blog or YouTube channel, well, let's just say it won't hurt your chances. ;)
