As you know, Zva offers many beautiful color groupings for pearls, flowers and crystals.  If you like what you see along the hop you can find a list of stores and online retailers that sell Zva HERE.

As mentioned above, this months hop is all about Fall and/or Halloween :)

We do not celebrate Halloween here in Germany, but I can't help but love the "mood" of this special holiday :) I love to create and send out Halloween greeting cards and therefore I have this Halloween card to share with you.

I just love how easy it is to create a really special card without having much work involved if you use the gorgeous Zva Creative bling! In this case I have used the Flourish Jet Crystal (CRB-06CA-128) and cut it apart into two pieces and used one swirl above and the other one below the focal point. A seam binding tied into a bow and the card is finished. Love the result and I hope you love it, too!

Oh and I have another Halloween project I want to share with you, in case you haven't seen it yet.

It is not new, but I thought you would be interested in it, too.

I have created this little Halloween treatbox using the rhinestone swirl embellishment from Zva Creative (CRB-03CA-107) 

You can find all details (incl. template for the box and a short video instruction)

And I think these two also go wonderful together:

If you would like to play along with our design team, just follow along the blog path.  I am linking to one of the Zva designers and that designer is linking to the next and so on. Be prepared to be inspired along the way!

The Blog Hop starts today, October 28th and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, October 29th.

***Prizes***

Hidden on FIVE of the designer's blogs is a Zva Creative prize package! Winners will be randomly chosen after the hop is over. All you need to do is leave a comment on this Blog Hop post... you do not need to leave a comment on each and every designer's blog post to qualify. However, the more times you comment along the blog hop path, the more chances you will have to win.

The 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, October 30th on Zva Creative's Facebook page!

We also thought it would be more fun to add even more chances to win our blog hop prize!  To increase your chances of winning:

* Comment to let us know that you posted on your Facebook page about our hop (link to any of the blog hop posts)

* Comment to let us know that you "tweeted" about our hop (link to any of the blog hop posts)

* Comment to let us know that you asked your local store to carry Zva creative products.  If they already do, that's fantastic, maybe you can suggest other products that they don't carry.

The blog hop begins here at Zva Creative's Facebook page! Your next stop is Lisa Somerville. Enjoy!

Thank you for joining us!
