How cool is this?  Sizzix's "Fresh Vintage" (by Designer Eileen Hull no less) has got a very unique blog hop going on right now!  Tuesdays & Thursdays are THE days to watch out for!  Designers have hooked up to create fresh ways to use these dies. I'll be working with the Bird and Caddy Bag dies and I couldn't be more thrilled!  I've finally narrowed down what I'm going to be doing, now to get busy designing. Use the Fresh Vintage Blog Hop button located on the right side bar just under the Designer Blog button.  Below are instructions for "hopping" for those who have never "hopped" before.  Be sure to check with Eileen on her blog to see ALL the lovely creations.  When you need eye candy to get motivated, be sure to hop around as the designers have created some really cool things to help you move forward, get those dies out, and begin creating!  Be sure to leave a few words telling what you liked most about their creations, they would love to hear from you!

FAQ about the Fresh Vintage Blog Hop:

How do I hop around to see ideas using the current featured die?
Every Tuesday and Thursday between September 27-November 3, 2011 there will be a new Sizzix Fresh Vintage die featured on 6-10 of the 75 participating designers' blogs. The navigation buttons for "Hop Back" and "Hop Forward" will allow you to easily hop around and see projects featuring whatever the current die is, since those buttons are programmed to navigate only to the blogs that are participating for that die. On the next Tuesday/Thursday, the buttons will automatically reprogram themselves to navigate to the blogs that are signed up for the next featured die.

What if I start at a designer's blog that isn't one of the 6-10 signed up for that die?
No problem! Simply hit either the "Hop Forward" or "Hop Back" button on the Fresh Vintage navigation widget from any blog's sidebar and you'll automatically advance to one of the participating blogs.

Can I go back and view the ideas for a previously featured die?

Of course! Go to the "Blog Hops" link at the top of the page. It will bring up all of the blog posts where you'll find direct links to each participating blog along with a thumbnail image of the project.
