It’s the moment many of you have been waiting for…..it’s time to announce winners of the Watercolor Blog Hop. There are LOTS and LOTS of winners in this post, so be sure to look through it completely- you just might be one of the lucky winners!

Before I continue on, I must give a GIANT thank you to each one of the wonderful sponsors. This blog hop wouldn’t have been quite as amazing without all their love, support, prizes and the help of my design team and special guests.

First off, let’s start off with those who submitted in the blog hop and won prizes. Below you will see the card entry, the winners name and the prize they won.

For those who left comments on many blog stops, you had a higher chance of winning. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to leave your fellow crafters blog love- everyone loves getting comments on their posts!

Below in each section, you’ll see a graphic with the sponsor, along with their prize. In addition, you’ll see a picture of a blog hop card and then the winning comment beneath. I tried to make it straightforward, but alas, it was hard to fit all the necessary info!

I promised to provide a $20 gift certificate to Ellen Hutson or Simon Says Stamp for every 100 entries and it’s time to announce the winners of those prizes. Since we got over 400 entries, I’m giving away 4 $20 gift certificates!

Pretty Pink Posh II Watercolor Blog Hop Winners WINNERS: please contact me at prettypinkposh (at) gmail.com with your name, list the prize you won, your choice of prize (if applicable), along with your mailing address. Each winner will have 10 days to claim their prize.

It’s a lot of work to put these bigger events together, but when I hear how you have been inspired and loved the blog hop, it makes the countless hours of planning, coordinating, correspondence and designing graphics and posts worthwhile. It’ll be a little while before the next hop, but I do hop to do one. Any suggestions on the next theme?

Thank you for making this the biggest blog hop to date and for all the love! I hope that you’ll continue to stop by and visit me- I have some fun things in store!

Watercolor Inspiration

Hello, hello!

I wanted to pop in really quickly. Yesterday I was finishing up the final touches of the upcoming blog hop posts and was in awe of the gorgeous inspiration. Naturally, since I love color and am bursting at the seams excited for the hop, I thought some sneak peeks of cards was necessary. These cards are from the PPP team, along with special guests joining in with inspiration. Pretty Pink Posh

Here’s a rundown of the blog hop schedule:

Thursday) you’ll see inspiration from the Pretty Pink Posh design team, along with special guests and companies sponsoring the blog hop. This will allow you to be inspired from their creations and then hopefully, you’ll create something so you can link up on Friday!
Friday) the hop opens to the public and you can link up your watercolor creations. Each person will be able to link up to THREE projects for this blog hop. Note: each entry must be new (not previously shown on your blog/ gallery).
Friday, Saturday, Sunday) I’ll be sharing cards that have been linked up for the blog hop on the Watercolor Blog Hop event on Facebook. In addition, I’m hosting some extra giveaways there. (Don’t worry, if you don’t have Facebook, there will still be plenty of prizes during the blog hop)
Monday) is the last day to link up your projects and leave comments on posts. Remember, if you leave comments on blog posts, there’s a higher chance for you to win prizes! There will be prizes for both designers who create/ share their projects, along with comments left along the hop.

I’ll see you tomorrow for all sorts of fabulous watercolor inspiration.

Blog Hop Announcement

I am super excited for today’s blog post. It’s been eight months since I put on the last blog hop and I’ve been waiting for just the right time to bring a new one. These sorts of big events take quite a bit of planning on my end and with my up and down health, I had to postpone them for a bit. Well, the wait is over and I’m so pleased to announce the third big blog hop that I’m hosting that YOU can be part of!

As you probably have noticed, watercolors are super trendy in the paper craft world and I thought it would be fun to see a watercolor theme. Now I personally am a newbie when it comes to watercolors, so I’ll be bringing along some fabulous special guests that will bring some amazing inspiration. Plus, at the end of this post, I’ll have several links to watercolor tutorial videos from my friends!

Date: The blog hop will start on Friday, June 5, 2015 at 6AM, PST and will run until Monday, June 8, 2015 at 11:55 PM, PST.

Where: It’s taking place HERE on the Pretty Pink Posh blog. I will have a link-up widget where you can link up your project(s) and then hop along and see what others have created.

Who: I want EVERYONE to be involved. Whether you’re a watercolor newbie or extraordinaire, I would love for you to join the fun. It’s up to you how much watercolor you would like to feature!

Now it wouldn’t be a fabulous blog hop without sponsors, right? I am so very grateful for my wonderful sponsors who not only are sponsoring prizes, but some of them will even have watercolor inspiration to share the day before the big hop!
