Die-Versions BLOG HOP

Welcome to our first ever BLOG HOP!
I have really enjoyed being on this DT thus far...the dies are amazing! They are so intricate and they cut really super smooth.
I have so many favorites but this Bug Jar die, (which obviously can be used as a cute canning jar), is on the top of my favorites list.

I have also loved the recent Die-Versions releases that focus on boys. The scrapbooking industry tends to lean towards girly themes with a floral focus (hey, I love flowers myself) but it's nice for us parents of boys to have more options.


Dies used on layout:
Boys Will Be Boys cube
Super Stars Wee Petites
Triangle Corner Concepts
Cow Sweet Petite



We have some AWESOME prizes if you participate in our hop.

Here are the details:

Hoppers will need to comment on all the blog stops and then on the last stop (store blog) tell us which die out of all the projects they have seen was their favorite. The winners will be randomly chosen from the design teams blogs so make sure to comment on ALL stops as well as on Facebook to increase your chances of winning.
End date is Sept 22nd.

Grand Prize - $50 gift certificate to be used in the store
AND
5 lucky participants will receive $10 gift certificate
to be used in the store

Hi - it's true about boy themed things BUT the recent SPORTS dies are great! Thanks for the great ideas!

Cheryl First said...

Wonderful card, and fabulous layout! I agree about the industry catering to the more girly things. The variety for boys does seem to be much better now than in the past, though. Love that new die you used for your layout!

Love the bug jar and your boy page is adorable. That was always a pet peeve when I scrapbooked - there were so few options for boys (it's better now though).

Oh I love your layout! So many things to look at...especially the cow over the sentiment...too cute! I guess I am going to have to get the jar die...thanks for the enabling!!!

eyes2theocean said...

Your projects are wonderful. You don't see a lot of things for boys and this is really cute. The bug jar is wonderful as well. Would be cute with some firefly's too. Oh the possibilities. :)

Taty Vanessa said...

I love leaves and these ones are so cool. They really make the page pop. Thank you for sharing. :)

Jan Castle said...

Both projects are wonderful...my favorite being the bug jar!!!

Mindi Hammond said...

Liz,

I love both of your projects. I can use the jar for mom type things and even for boy themes using it with the dies you used with the boys themed page. Bugs, butterflies, ants can go in the jar and the jar can be decorated with flags and arrows. These can all tie together and make many great projects. Thank you!

Mindi

Grace Tolman said...

Beautiful projects. I especially love the layout of your boys and the colors you used. So fresh and new. :)

Marjie Smyth said...

I have to have that jar die--that would be great for a get well card "so you caught a bug"

Unknown said...

I appreciate that you pointed out about the boy dies. I have 2 sons and it does seem things are geared more toward girls. Really like the geometric corner, really pops. Thanks for sharing

Bev Gerard said...

Whoa ... such cool boy stuff! Love that die-cut sentiment, and the star corner is very fun!

Felicia - Scrapper in the Making said...

What a Great Card and Layout. Your use of the dies is very creative. I've been wanting a Jar die and I think I found it.

dyeandpigment said...

Great inspiration. Really like the color combo on the jar card.

Roxanne said...

It is tough finding cute boy things but you did it!

Trudi Harrison said...

Your projects just make me smile so much! Love the bright infusion of happy color and gosh that bug jar - super, SUPER CUTE!

Joanne said...

I love the bug jar...looks so real !! the layout is so cute and the boys cube just says it all for a variety of pics.

Lisa said...

Cute mason jar, like the lay out too. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Lisa

Unknown said...

Another cute idea with the jar. Very cute. Thank you for sharing.

Mary M said...

Liz, I love your layout. And I totally agree w/you on there not being enough cool boy stuff in the market. I have to give you extra kudos for using the Cow SP die!

firewoman55 said...

Love these layouts!

Kathy said...

Oh, I have missed seeing your work, Liz! Love that cute card with the awesome jar, and those corner dies are super cute behind photos!

Vicki said...

Really love your card. Such pretty colors. And your layout is adorable. Love the boys will be boys die and the triangle corner. What a fun page!

DianeB said...

I like the random-ness of the cow and the idea of the jar as a canning jar not just for bugs

Anonymous said...

I love the bug jar. Need to get one. My Girl Scouts have to do a bug badge and this would make a perfect scrapbook page with the jar.

Pam said...

I like that bug jar too. I was happy to see Boys will be Boys die I can think of many ways to use it and not just for little boys.

Crafting on Caffeine said...

cute layout but love the card.

Jnett said...

Cute layout. Boys will be boys, that would work great for all my grandsons layouts.

I love your layout and the die cut boys will be boys is just way too cute!!

I, too, love the bug jar die - there is SO much you can do with it!

Pam Young said...

Love the jar! Truer words have never been spoken!!

Anonymous said...

Nice flags! Guess the boys loved the layout, too - looks somehow adventurous :)
best wishes, serafeena

SaraLara said...

This is a very cute boys layout. You are so right - there must be at least 5 times as much for girls than for boys out there! I also loved the boys theme dies. I like the way you used geometrical adornments to the photo. Really, really nice. Ute-HH

FerrellGraph-x said...

I love how bright and cherry your card is! And the scrapbook page is fabulous too!
Kindest regards,
Jennifer

Debi said...

That jar die cut is really nice, but the scrapbook page and the dies you used there are pretty cool. You're right - lots more flowers than boy stuff. TFS

cheermom said...

Love the colors in your card; and that bug jar die is just great as a canning jar. Your page Boys will be Boys is awesome too.

Mendi Yoshikawa said...
