Zva Creative February DT Blog Hop!

Hello friends! Zva Creative and our talented Design Team welcome you to our February blog hop! We are very excited to kick off another blog hop and tohave you join us today. We hope you are inspired all of the beautiful work that we are about to shareThe hop begins at Zva Creatives blog Be sure head on over to check it out !!!

If you like what you see along the hop you can find a list of stores and online retailers that sell Zva HERE.Our local sb store Paper Niche carries LOTS of it ....blink blink 

Here is a layout I made this weekend During a design team workshop at Paper Niche using papers from Kaiser craft, Prima embellishments and of course lots of Bling from ZVA Creative. I used the following style numbers CRB-05CB-103, CRB-06CA-117 and CRB-06CA-103

If you like me sometimes make pages and add pictures later, this is a great way to make sure your bling or pearls don't get ruined when you try to add the picture. Simply leave some of the backing under the bling and remove later when you place the picture
