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.

New Baby in the Family!!!

We have a new arrival in the family! Baby Noah!

This is the card I made for the proud parents!

The stamps are from Inkadinkado and the designer paper is a 10 cent find from Jo-Ann's.

The "N" sticker is from my stash.

I will be sending it off this weekend. Congrats to the new mommy and daddy!(and the big sister!)

Die Cuttin' Diva's Bonus Challenge!

Summer Bonus Round!

Here is the project that I made for Die Cuttin' Diva's Summer Bonus Round.

I started with a dollar frame from Michael's. I then painted it brown, added the green designer paper, Cut the sentiment from the Summer Vacation Solutions Cartridge, and added the embellishments/stickers. The only thing left to do is pick the perfect picture to put into the frame.

Thanks for visiting my blog!

Graduation Time!

It's that time of year again. Graduations are upon us! My Creative Time's Emma challenged us to create a card using the Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge and the color blue. I immediately thought of my Best friend, Suzanne. She is graduating with a masters from UCLA this June. Here is her card:

I decided to use the backpack from the Doodlecharms cart. I added the UCLA using the Base Camp cart. The binder paper was made using colored pencils and the stamps are from the "Mom you ROCK" set from Emma at My Creative Time. I lucked out that UCLA's school colors are BLUE and yellow in order to meet the color requirement for Emma's challenge. I had a great time making the paper rosette ribbon. I think it adds balance to the card.

My Best friend will see this card before she receives it because she follows my blog. I hope she likes it and will "act" surprised when she opens it in a few weeks. Congrats to all of her hard work. It has been a tough road but one well paved. Great job Suzanne!
