Here is my project from day 2:

For the last day I decided to make an altered project. 

I took the scraps from my banner and decorated this coffin.

I purchased this coffin at Michael's. there were three coffins nested together for only $3.99. With my 40% off coupon I only paid $2.40!!! I am going to work on the other two coffins next week.

I used the Happy Hauntings Cricut Cartridge for the skeleton. I might even get around to decorating the inside of each coffin.

See you next month!

Thanks for visiting!

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!

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.

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.

My Blogoversary Blog Hop is coming!!!

Hello all! I wanted to invite you to my first blogoversary blog hop. Hope to see you next friday! There will be blog candy!!!

Blogoversary Blog Hop Today!!!

Today we celebrate the 1st blogoversary of my sister's blog. She has done so many wonderful cards, LO, and other projects this year. I can't thank her enough for introducing me to the blog world and showing me how to become a better paper crafter.

If you arrived here from Sarah - http://www.Pinkcricut.com/  then you are in the right place. If you just happened by my blog please go to http://www.onecreativemomma.blogspot.com/ and start the hop from the beginning.


The project I made for her blog hop is a paper bag album. I had never made one of these before and was excited to see what I could cre8. Here it is! The pictures do not do it justice.

 

Each bag holds two inserts and I have decorated them to match the pages they are sandwiched between.

My vision for this album is to put all of the birthday pictures that I can find of my twin and I and display them in this birthday album. I just need to track down more pictures.

I would love for you to leave me some comments on how I can improve on this project. This is the first time I have made a paper bag album and think I will make a few more. They are so easy and make great gifts.

Now for the blog candy!!!

I am putting together a grab bag of stickers, embellishments, rhinestones, and some other fun stuff. All you have to do is follow my blog and leave me a comment. Don't forget to include an e-mail address so I can get a hold of you when you win. Thanks for Hopping along.

'All Jacked Up in June’ Blog Hop



If you arrived here from Rebecca ~ http://www.craftingmisfit.blogspot.com/ then you are in the right "Jacked up" place. If you get lost along the way, please visit http://www.shortnscrappy.com/ for the complete lineup.

We were asked to make an altered item with a Cocktail theme. As soon as I heard the theme of this hop I knew exactly what I wanted to create; A Martini recipe book!

(Make sure you read all of the way through my post, there is blog candy ahead!)

I purchased these index cards at Wal-mart, and turned it into this:

I used the "All Jacked Up in June" blinkie for my color inspiration.

For each of the tab dividers I chose words that are found in martini recipes.

Included in the recipe book are 44 martini recipes that I found on the internet.

Fruity, Chocolate, Food Network Chefs, and Other martinis.

This recipe book is my blog candy for this blog hop. All you have to do is become a follower (or already follow) and leave a comment. Please include an e-mail address or some way to contact you if you win.

This is the last stop on Patti's Blog hop so Thanks for hopping.
Don't forget to check back to see who wins my blog candy.

Memorial Day Weekend Blog Hop



Welcome to my Blog!
Here is my missing you card.

I used my Cuttlebug for the background paper 

(cut at 3 7/8" x 5 3/8")

I embossed the same pattern in yellow 

and cut out one star for the embellishment.

While digging in my scrap box I found the red piece of cardstock 

already "crinkled" (using SU tool) and cut it to 3 7/8" by 1 3/4".  

The card base and all of the white edges of cardstock were inked in black. The stamp is a dollar find from Michael's. I added the yellow star brads and white Puffy paint to finish off the card.

Thank you for hopping along today. -Yvette (Cre8tiveVet)

The next stop on the Hop is: HOLLY @
