We are celebrating the one-year anniversary of the Canadian Scrapbooker Hands On! Photography blog (also referred to as the HOP blog!) Last September, we launched the HOP blog as an added feature to the Hands On! Photography article in each issue, to offer more in-depth tutorials for the topics that I discussed in my articles.
Each month, I post a new tutorial on the HOP blog, with photo examples and helpful links. Our magazine and blog readers are encouraged to submit their photos, which are then shared on the HOP blog and entitle them to a chance to win a randomly drawn prize each month!
I'm excited to announce that the blog hop prize I have to give away to one lucky commenter is this lovely bunch of goodies:
Thanks for participating in our blog hop!! Now, onto the next blog... You'll be visiting none other than the Co-founder and Editor-In-Chief of Canadian Scrapbooker magazine, Jackie Ludlage!

ReplyDeleteMy fave summer memory is when my husband wanted to sleep under the stars. We had no kids yet, so we were still wild and crazy. HE put a mattress in the back of our truck we drove to the middle of a random field and it was GREAT. However, being in Saskatchewan, we froze. But still makes me smile ear to ear.
