Holly Jolly Blog Hop

Can you believe it's November already? Christmas is just around the corner! For the past few years I have really wanted to make my own gift tags, but not gotten around to it. This year I am determined to make some to use on my packages. So, I came up with this snowman tag to get me started.

I cut the tag at 6" from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More then sprayed it with pearl glimmer mist. It really gave it some sparkle! Wish you could see that in the picture. I used diamond stickles for the snow. The snowman is a stamp I've had for awhile. Isn't he beautiful? :) I used the Martha Stewart branch punch to create the tree, then touched it up with red stickles for decorations. I cut the star from Joys of the Season. It was part of a set, but I only needed the one. I used diamond stickles to give it some sparkle.

I hope you enjoy my tag. I had a lot of fun making it. Next you are headed to my friend Maria's blog at: http://stampcutcreate.blogspot.com/ Thanks for stopping by.

Hello Kitty Halloween Card

Hi Everyone! Welcome to the Halloween Blog Hop. Be sure to check out all the posts as there is some blog candy along the way. :)

I chose to make a Hello Kitty Halloween card for my niece. It is an A3 size card. The white is cut at 5.25 x 4" and the pattern paper is cut at 5 x 3.75". Hello Kitty is cut at 3" and Happy Halloween is cut at 1". I do not recommend cutting it at 1". It was very difficult to piece together. The doily pattern across the middle is washi tape.

I hope you enjoy my card. Your next stop on the Hop is Terri at http://tdycreativegal.blogspot.com/ Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween House

I made this Halloween House for a recent swap. I adapted the sweet treats house on the Sweet Tooth Boxes cartridge to make a (not so) spooky house. I placed a black kitty sitting in front of the door waiting to come in, a black bat flying past the window, and jack o' lanterns on each windowsill. I hope you enjoy it. :)

Guest Designer

Hi everyone! I know I haven't been around in a long time. I've been too busy moving!! Do you know that I've made 3 major moves in 3 years? From Missouri to South Carolina. Then from South Carolina to Arkansas. And lastly from Arkansas to Oklahoma. I'm praying 2013 is the year of no moving!! lol I feel like my whole life has been pack the boxes, move the boxes, unpack the boxes for years now. I'm so ready to put down roots and enjoy life. And get back to crafting!! :) Today I'm a guest designer on the Cricut Fanatics blog. Check it out at Cricut Fanatics. Here's a sneak peek of my project.

Please click that little "follow" button to the right and check back here often. There will be a lot more crafting going on! :)

Christmas Card

It's been a long time since I've blogged and I'm sorry about that. We've moved from South Carolina to Arkansas this year and about to move to Oklahoma! Once I land from this crazy trip I've been on, I plan to blog a lot more often. :)

This year has sure flown by. Can you believe it's time for Christmas cards already?

Here is the card I want to share with you today.

I used My Mind's Eye paper and Bazzill cardstock. The snowman is from Winter Frolic and is cut at 3". I added sparkly fluff to the scarf, hat, and mittens. The Very Merry stamp is from Stampin Up.

Thanks for stopping by!

Valentine's Blog Hop!

Welcome! I am so excited to be participating in my first Blog Hop and I just love Valentine's Day so it's a great theme! I know you've seen some wonderful stuff along the way, and hope you'll enjoy my projects as well. :)



The card is 4 1/2" by 5 1/2". The polka layer is cut at 4" x 5". Red layer is 3.75" x 4.75". The floral background is from French Manor and cut at 4". Circle is from George and cut at 3". Stamp image is from Stampin Up and is called Greeting Card Kids. LOVE this stamp set. Hope they make more with these adorable kids! :) Stamp is colored with Copics. I'm just learning Copics so please forgive my beginner status with that. I need to do some training on those. I free handed the stitching and wrote the sentiments on the hearts for a personal effect.



The Treat Box is from Tie the Knot and is cut at 10". Super easy to assemble! The flower is a Prima. Heart and Hugs & Kisses are also from Tie the Knot and cut at 2 1/2" (I think) for the heart and 3/4" for the Hugs & Kisses.





I hope you've enjoyed my projects and there's one more thing! Blog Candy!! I'm giving away a My World Cricut Cartridge! :) All you have to do is follow my blog and leave a post here by 12:00 pm EST on Monday.
