Hooray, today is the first day of the Fiskafriends Blog Hop!
If you have no idea what I am talking about, click HERE for the important rules of the blog hop giveaway. If you have been there and done that, keep reading.I am going to do this backwards.
If you JOIN my blog via the Google Friends Connect member button under my Profile picture AND include in the ONE comment you leave today that you did that, I will enter you in both my personal GFC member giveaway AND the Fiskafriend Sponsored Giveaway Prize drawing. (You may just add GFC at the end of your comment if you like.)
The prize for my personal giveaway is a $25 GIFT CERTIFICATE from an on-line vendor of your choice that permits that kind of gift arrangement.
If you would rather not, then please leave a supportive, relevant comment about my post today and you will still have an entry in the Fiskafriend Sponsored Giveaway Prize drawing. Deal ?
If you are in a hurry, please visit the next person on the blogger list at the end of this post and good luck to you. I mean that sincerely. I hop all the time. I understand.
As a token of my good will, allow me to share my quick blog hopping tip with you. Start at the beginning blog of the hop (helps to know the rules) and keep the window open. Right click on the first list link to open it in a NEW window, read the post, comment, then close the window of the new blog. Because the original window is still open - there is your list AND the links you visit are colored so you can remember which one you already clicked on - very handy when participating in a hop with a lot of blogs to visit - you know, like THIS ONE.
What? You're still here! Giant hug! If you have the time and would like to see what I look like in real life, click HERE for a video taken of me doing a demonstration for Eileen Hull at this year's January CHA trade show. It was so fun. You can read a little bit about it on Eileen Hull's blog where I had the privilege of being a featured fan. Click HERE to go to the post.
I love papercrafting of all kinds - especially anything that is 3D. I also love to teach others. So I have a lot of tutorials and free patterns that I share. Here are a few of them. Click on the photos to go to the post with the free pattern downloads. There is lots more on the blog. Look around and help yourself to the free pattern downloads. That's all for now. I may add some more later. Happy Hopping.

ReplyDeleteJean, this is just fantastic and I've always admired your work. Thanks for putting this together along with all the others who are participating! What an undertaking! I'm part of the GFC as well. Kudos to you and the Fiskateers!
ReplyDeleteI am terrible at hops. Started here-saw the Halloween card-went to see it and just meandered from there. 2 hours later -I'm back. Bookmarked the card so I can go back and visit it. thank you so much for doing this. You are a wonder indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for organizing the hop. Lovely cards.

ReplyDeleteLOL, your blog post is so funny! I've connected via Google, big hugs, and thanks for the tip about keeping the list of blogs to follow open and closing after you've commented on the blog hop list. Exactly what I do...makes hopping so easy! I LOVE your cards! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThose are too cute! I especially love the workbench and the living room. I've never made a pop up, but these are inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteJanelle R
So wonderful to see your amazing designs again. great to see you still going strong.
ReplyDeleteJean, Your pieces look so detailed. What a gift! Can't wait to learn how you created the luminaries.
ReplyDeleteI am following you via google connect! Looking forward to seeing your posts! :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely amazing! Looking forward to seeing lots more of your creations! I loved your guest designer spot on Eileen's blog! Congratulations on being chosen and I am envious that you got to meet her in real life! TTYL!
ReplyDeleteYou do an awesome job on pop ups ! Beautiful !
ReplyDeleteJean, I have always loved pop ups! You do an amazing job!
ReplyDeleteVery cute pop up cards, usually I see them all white and plain I love all the color you put in them.
ReplyDeleteYour pop ups are great. I just picked up a sizzix die to help with making pop up cards.... but I will have to check out your patterns. Thanks for hosting this hop
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you here, sharing those amazing projects created 2.5 - 3 years ago! You are something else, Jean. I have been a GFC follower for a while - but loved seeing you on YouTube - and am looking into the new Sizzix Big Shot Plus because of YOU! What an enabler you are. Do you happen to know what the difference is between the 660340 Big Shot Plus and the 660540 Big Shot Express Machine? Two years ago, already making such incredibly fun projects, Miss Jean! Love what you have done, and the colors used. I just came from the FB demo - and there was no place for me to leave a comment there, but it was fun seeing your smiling voice, hearing your laughter, and seeing how you became the demonstrator! LOL hugs, de
ReplyDeleteHow embarrassing! I just found the difference between the 2 machines LOL - I had apparently clicked on the same item twice DUHHHHH!
DeleteJean, your work, as always, is fabulous and so inspiring. I wish you lived close enough to come to one of your 3D pop-up classes.
ReplyDeleteLovely projects, Jean! And thank you so much for all the hard work you did on this blog hop and for bringing us all together.
ReplyDeleteFantastic Jean! They all are so wonderful and I'm definitely going to try the work bench since the men in my life are builders. TFS :)
ReplyDeleteYou make the most amazing cards, Jean!! Thanks for all your work on the the hop!!
ReplyDeleteYou'll always be the queen of pop-ups to me, Jean! Hugz!
ReplyDeleteWow I love the unicorn such fabulous inspiration! Thnaks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool creation. Pop up cards are always amazing. Love the neatness in your work. Thanks a lot for the free patterns and the fun filled hop.
