Welcome to Cookin' Up Creation's Blog Hop

Hello & welcome to the first ever Cookin' up Creations Winter Wonderland of Embellishments Blog Hop. We at Cookin' up Creations thought it would be a great idea to focus on Embellishments this month, as we have had lots of generous "embellishment" sponsors ....and we want to share with you. Along the Hop, you'll come across Challenges, Questions & Tuturials on different ways to use embellishments. If a blog requires you to complete a challenge, then please upload your completed challenge into the Embellishment Blog Hop Album before the end of the Blog Hop on January 22nd, 2010. All participating "blog hoppers" must be registered members in the gallery!

The Cookin' up Cookin' Up Creations Blog was your 1st stop and You are now at the 9th stop of the hop. If you’re not, then please go back to the CUC Blog by clicking HERE and begin again to ensure you complete each request along the way. At this stop, you have two things you must do in order to complete your hop here. Step one is just a shameless plug to get followers so you must become a follower of my blog. Who knows, maybe if I had followers I would update more often. And step two is actually a challenge. Many times we have the perfect embellishment for our card,layout or altered project, however, it is in the wrong color. So my challenge is for you to “alter” an embellishment to make it work with your page. In my example, Another Year, Another Photo Shoot I altered a couple of my embellishments. The brads in the center of the center green flowers was a Kelly green, so I added adhesive and sprinkled fine glitter on them. The red leather tag was actually grey so I used Tim Holtz Alcohol inks to change it to red. It worked like a charm! Once you complete your challenges (don’t forget to become a follower) for my blog leave your comment on this post, with a link to your uploaded project in the CUC Embellishment Blog Hop album to be entered for a small prize package of embellishments from me. After you have visited all the blogs and made a comment on each one, be sure to go back to the Cookin' up Creations Blog and post when you are finished. Thanks for hopping with us!
Your next stop is the super fabulously talented Angela… Land of Teenage Attitude

Have a Blessed Day!

Here is the link to my project. I used a rub-on on a brad to use for the center of the flower. TFL!http://www.cookinupcreations.com/coppermine/albums/uploadsuserpics/normal_Blog-Hop-card-1-web.jpg
