Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog Hop - Three's A Crowd



We're turning THREE in March! Can you believe it?! The Love To Scrap! Challenge Blog Design Team is proud to bring you our "Three's A Crowd!" Blog Hop to celebrate our third birthday! We're being sponsored by Your Next Stamp! Come hop with us for a chance to win a $25 gift card to use in the YNS Store! And as an extra added bonus, our challenge and blog hop participants may use code YNSLTS3 to receive 20% off their order - and this code is valid for the duration of our blog hop! How awesome is that?!
As you hop, leave comments! The more comments you leave, the more chances you have to win!

All of the LTSCB designers are creating BIRTHDAY inspiration projects for our blog hop. Everyone participating in the blog hop is invited to link up a birthday project for an extra entry into the drawing!

Our wonderful sponsor for this blog hop gave me the stamp set Snorkel Fun Fishy to create a project.  How cool was that!  I think this fishy is cute, and the fact that he has a snorkel on is funny.  I decided to make a shaker tag for the hop.  My first time using the Fuse-It tool and it has a learning curve.  The acetate paper I had was too thick, so quick to my feet I used a card protector to create the tag.  


Some glass glitter and sequins was added in the shaker.  Some ribbon and thread to make the topper pretty. I also threw a couple of sea shells on the top.
  

I decided to add a pocket to the back that could hold a gift card.  (You must fuse your pocket to the back before fusing the front and back panel together.)  

Here is the line-up:

We hope you are enjoying the hop and if you get lost along the way - or if you landed here in the middle of the hop and want to join in the fun - head over to the Love To Scrap!Challenge Blog to read all the details and start from the beginning!

Happy Hopping!

stamps used:  Your Next Stamp-Snorkel Fun Fishy

I'm hoping to get a fuse tool soon so I can make adorable projects like this - love how you added the little pocket to the back! Awesome job!

OMG, cuteness overload! Looks like you mastered the fuse tool - so glad you persevered! This is absolutely adorable!

Nikki said...

What a kewl Idea to turn a tag into a gift card holder too so perfect for a bonus present :)

Auntie Em said...

This is such a great card/tag/gift holder idea! Fun little fishy and great colouring.
I love the pocket on the back. I made little gift card holders for Christmas with my fuse but I never thought of a pocket on the back. I sealed it inside so they had to open them up to get the gift out. This is a much better idea!
Thanks for sharing! :)
