  Good morning crafters!!!
Today is.....drum roll please.... BLOG HOP TIME!!
So the Colouritsa design team, who are busy beavering away working on the fantastic new launch due to arrive VERY shortly from Crafters Companion thought it would be exciting to have a blog hop!, this way the whole colourista team can all share a little bit of what we have all been working on, and you guys can win a fabulous prize! well... you can't have a blog hop without a prize can you! so heres the deal, you have fun.... hoping through all the wonderful blogs from each of my colourista teamies.. leaving a little bit of love ..a comment on each blog post , then ( heres the exciting part) on Friday 29th August 5 people that have commented on ALL the blogs will each win one of the BRAND NEW Colourista packs! the winners will be announced over on the USA Crafters Companion blog but don't worry this is open to EVERYONE!! but Sara will be launching Colourista over on HSN first....here are the details



followed VERY closely with the UK launch a few days later- details to follow!
so are you ready to hop? here you go! stop by each of the design team ladies listed here and leave your comments! 
 

and here to share with you is one of my projects.... I have used one of my coloured pages to create a jigsaw puzzle! I used an A5 piece of MDF that I had pre cut...  from my favourite place to buy MDF That Craft Place! ( Danny is amazing at cutting any shape I need!!) into 6 pieces, then once coloured I used gloss modpodge to glue and seal to each piece! fab little gift to make. I Loved making this, I need to be more adventurous and make one with more pieces next!

well go...get hopping!!!
Hugs
Nicole
