By now you have seen July Ombre’ projects from each of the new Crop Chocolate Chocolatiers (mine actually posts today!!) over on The Crop (if you haven't you have got to check them out!)…weren’t they all great?!?
We wanted to do something fun to kick-off our term so we put together this happy little blog hop featuring BANNERS.
You should have gotten here from Jenni's blog but if you just happened by you will want to start over at Amber’s blog and follow this order:

Then leave a comment over at The Crop by 8:00 am EST July 30, 2012 to be entered to win a fabulous prize from Crop Chocolate. The drawing will be Tuesday July 31, 2012 and winner announced over at Crop Chocolate.
I will also be giving away some fantastic blog candy so become a follower of my blog, if you are not already, and leave some love after you check out my project. I will be announcing the winner of my blog candy August 1, 2012 right here.
Maddie's Park-Scape:
My god-daughter Maddie recently turned 2 and I made her a pretty little banner for her room.

I used a bunch of my favorite items purchased from Crop Chocolate: Teresa Collins Give Thanks, Bazzil and Echo Park Be Mine cardstock, Slice Cordless cutting machine, Bravissimo and Vintage Findings cartridges, Perfect Pearls-white and silver, Doodlebug brad, MM brad, Distress Ink-Brushed Corduroy, Black Soot and Pumice Stone, Lush rhinestones and brad, MM Paper Reverie pearl gems, Stickles-Crystal, Alcohol Ink-Raspberry, Distress Crackle Paint-Clear Rock Candy and Viper Snaketape. Other items used: grunge board, Distress Stain and Ink-Spun Sugar, Twinery twine, Spellbinder Bitty Blossoms, Sissix dies-Spooky Tree and 3D Flowers, Tim Holtz dies-bird, leaf and butterflies, Tim Holtz Distress Marker, ribbon, wooden-spools, dowels, finials and plaque, paint, moss and Gorilla Glue. I also used a handmade picket fence by UmWow Studio, it was part of an embellishment kit-A Dated Journey.




I hope you enjoyed my project and get inspired by all the other amazing ladies on the design team, I know I do everyday! Head back over to The Crop and be sure to leave a comment to be eligible for a great prize!!
Here is the blog candy I will be giving away so make sure to get entered to win!! (I will also be throwing in a little handmade 'sweet surprise' for the person who wins)
