Crafty Me Blog Hop

Welcome to the "Crafty Me" Blog Hop hosted by the Design Team at the The Bug Bytes. If you found the blog hop starting with me, please go back to Pam's Blog and start at the beginning so you don't miss any crafty goodness.

All the design team members had a challenge to create a layout or card using sketches and the color green and the theme of crafting.  I had a ball putting together my layout to share with you today.  We encourage you to create a project and link up at The Bug Bytes so everyone can see your project too.

Here is the layout sketch we were asked to use:

I decided to take the sketch that Pam created for us to use and stretch it to a two page layout to accommodate some photos I had of the word CREATE I made on the wall in my craft room that I wanted to scrap.

I wanted to be even more creative on my layout so I

decided to PUMP UP my journaling by coloring in

some of the words using Colored Pencils.  It was

so fun and really matched the playfulness of my layout.

And I made a fun paper rosette and added an embroidered patch.

I had such fun participating in this challenge!

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure and leave me a comment and let me know what you thought of my challenge layout.

Next up is LORI, hop on over to LORI's BLOG  to see what she made for the challenge.

Halloween Treats...NOT Tricks

There are so many yummy treats that can be made for Halloween....Caramel Apples, Popcorn Balls, Pumpkin Bread, Candy Corn, etc.

How would you like a way to put all your families favorite Halloween treats into one cute mini recipe album?
Well, I made this adorable Halloween Recipe album a couple of years ago and wanted to share with you.

The cover is made from chipboard cut slightly larger than

the recipe cards inside. And is hole punched on the top and bound

with binder rings and a variety of ribbons tied on.

 The title is made with glittered chipboard Thicker alphas.

And the treat bags are patterned paper cut out and some stickles added. 

 I love to tie ribbon on to mini album covers for added texture.  

Cute Halloween recipe cards go on the inside.

I added a spot along with each recipe card

so that there was room to add a picture

of the Halloween treats.

I added a few more pages to the inside

by cutting cardstock in same size as recipe cards.

Again, more pp cut out to make an embellishment

and added stickles.

A few more pages to show you.

This would also be an awesome way to do a Christmas or Thanksgiving

Recipe Books for your family or gifts.  You can find lots of cute

holiday recipe cards right now at various stores.  I know I saw some at

Michaels and Target recently.  In fact I bought some Christmas ones myself.

And the Winner is....

Thanks for stopping by and leaving such nice comments on my Fall/Halloween Challenge Blog Hop post. Hopefully you were as inspired as I was by all the fantastic projects the other design team members created for this special hop. 

Drum roll please...the winner of my Star Bucks $5 gift card Blog Candy is :

Welcome to the Fall & Halloween Challenge Blog Hop

Hi everybody !  Welcome to our Fall and Halloween Blog Hop hosted by Pam of the The Bug Bytes.  You should have arrived at my blog from Kelly at Kams Crafty Space if you just jumped in you might want to go back to The Bug Bytes so you don't miss any fabulous projects.  All of on The Bug Bytes Design Team just love creating crafty projects this time of year. We wanted to share some of our special Fall and Halloween projects with you on this blog hop so be sure and stop by each DT member's blog to get inspired.  Pam is offering some blog candy (special prize) so see her rules on her post at the start of this blog hop.  I am also offering some blog candy...read on to find out how to enter.

I just LOVE to make banners to decorate my home during the holidays!  A couple of years ago, I made a large Halloween Banner that I have already hung up in our family room that you can see HERE.  This year I wanted to make a smaller Halloween banner to hang up in my Kitchen.  When I think of Halloween, spooky Ghost always seem to come to mind first so I went with the Ghost theme for my banner.

I started out by making the banner pieces out of Bazzill cardstock

cut into triangles. 

Next I used the Martha Stewart Spider Web Punch

to create a border to go across the top of each banner piece

in alternating background colors. And I added some fun

polka dot ribbon to hang the banner pieces from the garland.

I made the large Rosettes starting by cutting (2) 12" X 3" strips

of Halloween pp, scoring them each at 1/2" marks using my Martha Stewart Scoring Board

and adhering the two pieces together with redline tape, and  folding to create the rosette. 

I used a 2" circle punch  to cut two cardstock circles per banner piece.

I hot glued one circle to the front of the rosette and another on the back

 to create a more stable rosette. I then added a 1 1/2" circle punch piece in a different

color cardstock and added a Thickers Varsity Letter to complete the banner word. 

For a finishing touch I hot glued some K&Company Halloween 3d embellishments.

Hope you liked my Halloween Banner...I am hanging it up in the kitchen window along with some cute ghost ceramic candle holders to keep the Halloween Spirit flowing through my house!

If you want a chance at my Blog Candy Give Away, just leave a comment on this post before Noon on Monday October 24th.  The lucky winner will receive a $5 Starbucks gift card !!  Perfect to getting a Latte or Hot Chocolate to keep you warm during the fall weather.

I made this adorable Tri-Fold Gift Card Holder to give a Mom so she has a little extra little spending money...who wouldn't love that !   

I used my new E2 and the two exclusive Just a Note and Cricut Alphabet Cartridges to create the tri-fold card.  I cut the card at 5.50 inches.

I added the word "Mom" to the inside of the card with the Cricut American Alphabet cartridge

and outlined the lettering with a white ink pen.

 On the inside of the card, I added a pocket and placed the gift card in the pocket. I added a tab so Mom knows to pull the gift card out. I also cut out the "I HEART You" with the Cricut American Alphabet cartridge. Again, outlining with white gel pen.

Now the card is ready for a signature and to make Mom very happy !

February Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop

Welcome to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop !

We are so glad to have you hop along with all the participants and enjoy all the inspiration we have for you from the counterfeit kits we made this past month.

You should have arrived here from Denise's Blog . If you missed the beginning of the hop, please go back to Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog to start so you don't miss any of the projects.

This Blog Hop is specifically to showcase the Scraps of Darkness Sketch Challenge using our Counterfeit Challenge Kit we put together based on Scraps of Darkenss February Kit.

Here is my Sketch Challenge Layout

My February Kit was focused on Pink, Red, Gray, Cream and Black colors and

was inspired by Echo Parks new Be Mine paper line.

I cut out part of the Be Mine journal sheet for the heart just like in the Sketch Challenge since I happened to have the same pieces. I added various color of beautiful sparkly Prima flowers and a jeweled Jenni Bowlin Stick pen to finish off the cluster of embellishments on the bottom left of layout.  At the top left of the layout is a mirrored Bird from Heidi Swapp and Making Memories glittered chipboard swirls.

In the top right of my layout, I added the Faux Teresa Collins Blingage that I made for my kit.

And again,  cut out some of the Echo Park journal cards and layered together

 for this cluster of embellishments.

In the bottom right of my layout you will see a piece of Echo Park journaling strip that I stamped in red,

 then used one of the Faux Frames that I made for my kit.  Then I layered a small strip of Maya Roads gorgeous pink rose trim to complete the look.  I couldn't resist cutting from the bottom of the

Echo Park Be Mine paper strip the paper line emblem that normally would have been tossed

except it matched my layout theme too much to toss!   

 

I'd love it if you left a comment so I know you stopped by. Now head on over to Missues Wookie's Blog for more inspiration !

There is one thing I am always needing when a birthday rolls around and that is a gift bag for the honoree.  I decided to make an extra special Birthday Gift Bag and Tag since it is Angela's 50th Birthday. 

All the designs for this project were created using the Cricut Birthday Bash cartridge.  The big birthday cake on the bag was cut at 7 inches, the yellow cake base cardstock was embossed with the Cuttlebug, and I added some yummy frosting using Martha Stewart chunky white glitter. I even used foam dots to pop-up the birthday word.

I made a matching mini birthday card as a tag using the cake card shape on the Birthday Bash cartridge cut at 5 inches.  I added some "paper sprinkles" to the icing and highlighted them with stickles. 

HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY DEAR ANGELA !  Hope you enjoy all the birthday projects posted in your honor.

LEAVE ME A COMMENT FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A CUTE MINI BIRTHDAY STAMP PERFECT FOR YOUR NEXT BIRTHDAY GREETING.  Then hop on over to the next stop on the Blog Hop to see what Marcia has created at http://scrappin-times.blogspot.com/ .

BTW - I am participating in the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop on Monday, February 28th so be sure and stop back in to check out all the cool projects we are making for that Blog Hop too!

Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop

Welcome to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop ! 

We are so glad to have you hop along with all the participants and enjoy all the inspiration we have for you from the counterfeit kits we made this past month. 

You should have arrived here from Susanne's Blog .  If you missed the beginning of the hop, please go back to Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog to start so you don't miss any of the projects.

This Blog Hop is specifically to showcase the ROLL THE DIE Mini Challenge offered at Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog.  What is the ROLL The DIE CHALLENGE? Well, the host on the blog have some hand made dice they use to give us inspiration to create a project for the challenge from the kit we put together from our stash at the beginning of the month. It is a genius idea! 

This month the Roll of the Die Challenge was ...

 C= Card, Inspiration=Fashion, Embellishment= Bling

And now for my interpretation of the Roll the Die Challenge. Drum roll please....

My "CARD" is made from die cut paper from Hello Sunshine by Cosmo Cricket as the base and layerd over a white blank card. I cut off the right side front of the card about 1 inch so that the lace border I added shows up really well.

My "FASHION" Inspiration was bold prints and lace.  It will be all the rage this upcoming Spring according to the 2011 fashion websites I checked.  Loved the look of adding a lace border made from Martha Stewart Laced Doily border punch to the bold printed pattern paper on the card.

My "BLING" Embellishment is shown on the hand made flower I created by layering a felt flower and crochet flower and then placing a black GLITTER Dome as the center of the flower and the shiny pearl pin.

The sentiment "Be Happy" is a Scenic Route Chipboard piece. This card was so easy to put together since all I had to do was "shop" from  MY January Counterfeit Kit   and follow the Roll of the Die Mini Challenge ingredients.

Thanks for stopping by. Leave me a little comment so I know you stopped by. Hope my intrepretation of of the Roll the Die Mini Challenge encourages you to try to make your own card using the challenge ! Happy Blog Hopping !!

Next stop on the hop is Gabrielle's Blog.  Just click on the link and it will take you right there.

You Are My Sunshine !

My adorable granddaughter, Bianca, celebrated her 8th Birthday in December.  She was so excited to turn the big 8.  Funny, how all of a sudden little girls start to look more like young ladies.  She looks so grown up in her birthday picture.

This adorable layout was made using the items from my kit I put together for the January Counterfeit Kit Challenge hosted at Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog.  You need to check out this Blog if you have not done so already and play along with us each month.  The February challenge should be out soon!

Bianca is one of those little girls that is happy no matter where she is...at home, at school, visiting friends, going on a trip, in the car, sitting on the couch...she is our little ray of sunshine all the time!  When I saw the "Little Miss Sunshine" tag from Cosmo Cricut in my January Kit, I knew it was perfect for her birthday layout.

Love you lots to our very own " Little Miss Sunshine"...you brighten all of our lives.  Hugs from Nonny !

And the Blog Candy winner is....

First of all, I want to say thank you to everyone who stopped by during the Valentines Blog Hop. I really enjoyed reading your comments about my Valentine cards. If I had to pick a favorite it would be the Poodle card...probably because of the crown :)  LOL

Drum roll please.. the Random Generator picked # 28 as the winner of the Stickles Blog Candy
{I'd post the Random Generator but I couldn't get it to copy for some weird reason, sorry}  

CONGRATULATIONS GOES TO ..........

MY BLOG HOP CARDS:  Valentines Day always has me smiling and wanting to make cards for those that I LOVE.  I made the following three cards  for some special people in my life.

 I used the gorgeous new BE MINE Collection Kit from Echo Park...I really like all their paper lines :)  And of course, I couldn't resist using my Cricut to cut out the adorable animal shapes from Create A Critter cart. It is a little hard to tell in the pics but some of the elements are popped up and make the cards more dimensional.  I also plan on adding a little stickles to jazz them up before I pop these in the mail the first of February.

Thanks for stopping by...if you will please follow my blog AND leave me a comment about my Valentines cards by Sunday, January 9th at MIDNIGHT, I will pick one winner to receive the following Blog Candy prize.  Winner will be announced on Monday, 1/10.  {I extended the deadline because some people told me they do their blog hopping on Sunday afternoon and I didn't want anyone to miss out}.

Yes, you could be the proud owner of the limited edition 3 pack of Stickles in

 lovely Crystal, Silver and Black to add some shine to your valentines projects.  Isn't that yummy ?
