THANK YOU everyone who hopped along with us. I had a lot of fun seeing all of the "firsts" projects and came away with a ton of ideas.

I am already thinking about the theme for next year's blog hop.

Now on to my final project.

 I decided to make a card using one of the stamp sets that I own from My Creative Time that I haven't used yet. I chose to use the Camera Shy stamp set. This is the first time I have used this set. 

This is also the first time I have used the Cricut cartridge, Just Because Cards.

The diamond shape below is attached using an action  wobble.

Once again I wanted to remind you that I have blog candy up for grabs.

If you look in the middle of the picture you will see that Emma has donated a stamp set for my blog candy. I have to send a huge thank you her way. Not only did she send me the stamps but she is participating in my blog hop where she is giving away more of her wonderful products. Have you checked out her dies. To DIE for!!! Thanks Emma!

Just leave a comment here on this post and if you would like, please become my newest follower.

Thanks for joining me on my blog hop and don't forget to leave all of the ladies some comment love.

Today I have two mini albums that I made from paper bags. I have cre8ted a large paperbag album but I have never made mini albums. The first mini album I made has the vintage theme and is 5" x 7".

The second album I have is a color themed album. Lime green, hot pink, and white and is 3" x 4.5".

I haven't decided what I want to use it for, so when I do I will add the embellishments.

Each of the tabs are double sided and have coordinating DP.

Now don't forget there is blog candy to be won. I haven't been home much due to work but Here is the picture of most of the candy I promised you.

Thanks for visiting! Don't forget to come back for the last day of the blog hop.

My Blogoversary is here! DAY 1

Welcome to my First Blogoversary blog hop.

The theme for this blog hop is "Firsts" (ex: 1st birthday, 1st Anniversary, Baby's 1st steps, etc) but I also wanted the hoppers to try a technique or project for the first time. Many talented crafters are hopping along with me today. Make sure you visit each and every one of them and leave them some comment love. I think you will enjoy everything that they have cre8ted. This hop will be for three days. Most of the ladies have made three projects so don't forget to come back each day. (August 5th-7th)

Now on to my card. My Niece/God-daughter turned one this past weekend. So what a perfect opportunity to cre8te a card for my blog hop.

I had just received my Wild Card Cricut Cartridge in the mail and knew I wanted to use it for the blog hop. This card is the first card I made using the Wild Card cart.

I wanted to add a shadow on the inside of the card so I used a slightly smaller cut of the same cupcake.

There is blog candy to be shared. (picture coming later today, working 13 hour days is putting me behind just a little) Please leave me a comment (along with your email) and if you want follow my blog. I will draw a winner on Monday morning. Thanks for hopping along with me.

Your next stop is Georgiana www.carsonscricutcreations.blogspot.com

Thanks! -Yvette
