Welcome to the CS Hands On! Photography Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the 1st Hands On! Photography Blog Hop!!

I’m so excited to have you join us!  It’s hard to believe that it’s been a full year since I posted the first Hands On! photography (HOP) tutorial – thanks to all of our readers who supported us and who submitted their photos to our monthly contests!

Our blog hop will take you around to our Canadian Scrapbooker team’s blogs.  To celebrate our one-year anniversary, each blogger will be inviting you to review one of our past tutorials.  Each will also be giving away a great prize!  For a chance to win on each teammate’s blog, just leave a comment on their blog, as well as on the tutorial post they are showcasing in their blog post.  All winners will be drawn early on September 7th and announced here on the HOP blog.

Here is a list of the destinations in your blog hop:

Sue Sykes  - Kewl Beans <– that’s me!
Jackie Ludlage – Backstage Pass
Connie Nichol – Everyday’s an Adventure
Heather Starosielski – Serendipity
Cari Locken – Me & My Thoughts
Leica Forrest – I’m Here To Live Out Loud
Allison Orthner – It’s Not About Me
Carolyn Peeler – Cut ‘N Paste
Jayme Loge - Scrapbooking Fanatics
Christy Riopel – Scraps of Life

Are you excited to start hopping?!?  Start here at my blog and follow the hop to the remaining team members via the links on each of the blogs.  Remember to leave comments on their blogs, as well as on the tutorial that each blogger is showcasing, to be eligible for the prize that they are offering!  And please browse our talented team’s blogs and bookmark them for continued inspiration and ideas! 

As an added bonus, once you finish your blog hop, return here and leave me a comment and I will randomly draw 2 winners for the following prizes:

Stamps from Local King Rubber Stamp and American Craft Stickers

7 Gypsies Paper Tape

Then join us back here on September 7th for the announcement of all blog winners, along with the September tutorial and the announcement of another contest for a chance to be published in the next issue of Canadian Scrapbooker, as well as to win one of these beauties:

 

How cool is that??  So have fun, and good luck in your hopping!

A Canadian Scrapbooker Feature – by Sue Sykes

  • About Sue

    Sue has been behind a camera for more than 25 years, working professionally as a photographer for the last ten years. While she began the hobby of scrapbooking in 2000, as a complement to her photographer career, it soon grew into a rival passion! Sue loves to enlarge one of her favourite photos and make it the focal point of her page, using her supplies to bring the focus onto her photography. She has, in recent years, turned more to scrapbooking "moments" rather than "events", choosing to leave her children more insight into her point of view of their lives.



    Sue has been married to her best friend, Gary, for over 10 years and has two children, Connor and Aili. She considers herself very fortunate to be so lucky to work not only for herself, but also to be involved with Canadian Scrapbooker - both of which combine her passion for scrapbooking and writing!
