So how many of you are loving the time change.As for me, it's been hard adjusting to the time change.I love that it gets dark later but dislike the fact that we loose an hour of sleep. But, I know in time, we will get used to it.<br /><br />However, I wanted to share with you a card I made for my mother-n-law.Her birthday is next Sunday but she wanted everyone to join her tomorrow to celebrate over dinner. I was excited to use my Stampin Up Fiesta Familiar Spanish Clear Stamps that I purchase from my good friend Norma from <a href="http://pinkblingcrafter.blogspot.com/">Pinkbling Crafter</a> during the Sale-a-Bration Sale. Be sure to visit her blog, you still have time to order. You have till the end of March 31st to purchase some great stuff from Stampin Up.<br /><b><br /></b><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>"Feliz Cumpleanos" Birthday Card</b><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hgaqLet7CaA/T12L-60HHRI/AAAAAAAACLY/6C5SvLXWCHc/s1600/IMG_1430.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hgaqLet7CaA/T12L-60HHRI/AAAAAAAACLY/6C5SvLXWCHc/s320/IMG_1430.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iD91Qy4BBlE/T12MAQz76lI/AAAAAAAACLg/FW6cff7oOtk/s1600/IMG_1431.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iD91Qy4BBlE/T12MAQz76lI/AAAAAAAACLg/FW6cff7oOtk/s320/IMG_1431.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7UtmAH9Wa5U/T12MCC4L9dI/AAAAAAAACLo/cQT2NLsY134/s1600/IMG_1432.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7UtmAH9Wa5U/T12MCC4L9dI/AAAAAAAACLo/cQT2NLsY134/s320/IMG_1432.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bl0OzPFRqKM/T12MDgqy_WI/AAAAAAAACLw/_sNzZehZ_5k/s1600/IMG_1433.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bl0OzPFRqKM/T12MDgqy_WI/AAAAAAAACLw/_sNzZehZ_5k/s320/IMG_1433.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zBaQNA79Ot4/T12MFCjFL3I/AAAAAAAACL4/I-Lwvw-sL6w/s1600/IMG_1434.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zBaQNA79Ot4/T12MFCjFL3I/AAAAAAAACL4/I-Lwvw-sL6w/s320/IMG_1434.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><u><b>Materials Used:</b></u></div><div style="text-align: left;">Stampin Up Paper</div><div style="text-align: left;">Stampin Up Fiesta Familiar Stamp Set</div><div style="text-align: left;">Colorbok Design Paper</div><div style="text-align: left;">All Occasion Pop Up Cartridge: Cupcake Size 4</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><u><b>Entering into the following Challenge:</b></u></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://cardztv.blogspot.com/2012/02/cricut-cardz-challenge-103.html">CARDZ TV</a>: Cricut Cardz Challenge: #103: "You take the cake!"

As many have heard, <b><span style="color: #741b47;">Jinger Adams</span></b> is having a <a href="http://www.jingeradams.com/2012/02/jinger-adams-design-team-call.html">Design Team Call</a>. I remember watching Jinger Adams on HSN as she showcased the Anniversary Edition E2. What would be even better than to try out for her Design Team. I wanted to take up on the challenge and see what fun project I can create.<br /><br />As a young child, I grew up watching Disney Movies, taking trips to Disneyland, and attending Disney Theme parties. Overtime, that has never changed. Till now, I still do all three things. I will always be a child at heart. I am a big Disney Fan. Therefore, I wanted to make this adorable treat favor for anyone who would plan a Disney Theme party such as A Tinkerbell Party.<br /><br /><div style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Tinkerbell Party Tin Favor</b></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-92jFHvS4avM/T11-iq5scvI/AAAAAAAACKA/o5liy86tMcM/s1600/IMG_1423.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-92jFHvS4avM/T11-iq5scvI/AAAAAAAACKA/o5liy86tMcM/s320/IMG_1423.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gb0Swz1xdmw/T11-cGrKRLI/AAAAAAAACJY/1zlixQL_iSA/s1600/IMG_1415.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gb0Swz1xdmw/T11-cGrKRLI/AAAAAAAACJY/1zlixQL_iSA/s320/IMG_1415.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #274e13; text-align: center;"> Using my Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge, I cut the body at Size 5 and the Pixie Outfit is Size 5 as well. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GUpjppPukLU/T11-hRRq5OI/AAAAAAAACJ4/dOR3oGoHmbk/s1600/IMG_1422.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GUpjppPukLU/T11-hRRq5OI/AAAAAAAACJ4/dOR3oGoHmbk/s320/IMG_1422.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="color: #274e13; text-align: left;">Then, I added gauge wire to the back of the doll so that it can tilt from side to side.Almost like using an action wobble. I tried to follow the tutorial that was showcased on Getting Cricky: by Amy from Love to Crop on how to make your own Action Wobble. Here is the link on the tutorial by <a href="http://www.gettingcricky.com/2012/01/getting-cricky-tuesday-tutorial-wiggle.html">clicking here</a>.

I thought, wouldn't it be fun to use it for the paper dolls Cartridge. Let me tell you, it was so much making it look fabulous. I used a hot glue gun to make sure the hair got glued onto the head. Then I used ribbon to tie around the hair just like Tinkerbell. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ub5d7rIWHTQ/T11-gFbKjpI/AAAAAAAACJw/Zm2hHzkAGq0/s1600/IMG_1418.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ub5d7rIWHTQ/T11-gFbKjpI/AAAAAAAACJw/Zm2hHzkAGq0/s320/IMG_1418.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8iHR678cx0A/T11-mivI51I/AAAAAAAACKY/NAR_Sm9D5Lo/s1600/IMG_1426.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8iHR678cx0A/T11-mivI51I/AAAAAAAACKY/NAR_Sm9D5Lo/s320/IMG_1426.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="color: #274e13;"><br /></div><div style="color: #274e13;">Then, I hot glued Tinkerbell to the tin and filled it with Easter Grass.

Last night, I was in the mood for baking. So I decided to browse through the Blogging world for some fun challenges that focus on Saint Patrick's Day! Therefore, I decided to bake some yummy cupcakes and decorate them for St. Patrick's Day. But, since my name is Patty. I gave them the name: "St. Patty's Day Lucky Treats."<br /><br />Now, I made cupcakes the quick way which is purchasing a cake box. But, I hope I can find some time to learn how to make them from scratch just like "<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Cupcake Wars</span></b>." I did follow the recipe from the Powdered Sugar to make Buttercream Frosting. Here are the yummy cupcakes I made. Hope you all like them.<br /><br /><div style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>St. Patty's Day Lucky Treats</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a6QgoCQICB0/T1nHkGMo8aI/AAAAAAAACJQ/InDyMRkW_fY/s1600/IMG_1390.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a6QgoCQICB0/T1nHkGMo8aI/AAAAAAAACJQ/InDyMRkW_fY/s320/IMG_1390.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CXQVm_u2ozU/T1nHdbA_kNI/AAAAAAAACIw/LiW805FcrPY/s1600/IMG_1312.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CXQVm_u2ozU/T1nHdbA_kNI/AAAAAAAACIw/LiW805FcrPY/s320/IMG_1312.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uP9cTK9t1oA/T1nHbYl-kVI/AAAAAAAACIo/c-QqyqZeBd0/s1600/IMG_1307.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uP9cTK9t1oA/T1nHbYl-kVI/AAAAAAAACIo/c-QqyqZeBd0/s320/IMG_1307.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I purchased a bag of coconut at the Dollar Tree store. I took about 1 to 2 cups of coconut and poured it into a baking dish. Then, I made sure the oven was turned on to 350 degrees and let it bake between 5 to 10 minutes until it is golden brown. Be sure to stir around so everything can get toasty. Then, I placed a small amount on each cupcake with a touch of green coconut. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-quiVKEnf5EM/T1nHZYjcXEI/AAAAAAAACIg/DoljTyXzMMQ/s1600/IMG_1279.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-quiVKEnf5EM/T1nHZYjcXEI/AAAAAAAACIg/DoljTyXzMMQ/s320/IMG_1279.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I took 1 cup of coconut, 1 tsp of water, & 3 drops of green food coloring.

Wow, I can't believe how quickly February is ending and March is quickly approaching. Last night, my brother who is 2 years younger than me wanted to come over my house to teach him how to make a handmade card for his girlfriend. I told him, "Sure thing, come over and let's see what we can put together." You can say, it was definitely an adventure brainstorming the card he wanted to create. Of course my sweet brother had fun taking out all the cartridges and deciding which two he wanted, but leaving the rest of the cartridges laying out.LOL So you can just imagine what my craft room looks like now, which I decided to clean up later. Anywho, my brother came acrooss this great idea to create a card showcasing a doll with a great wardrobe of fabulous outfits that can be interchangable. He selected several outfits from the cartridge: Paper Dress Up Dolls and he added velcro to each outfit so that his girlfriend can change the outfit on the doll. What a smart idea. My sister-n-law who is my husband's sister was also there helping my brother give him ideas of what outfits he might want to select. Either way, I can say it was a group effort but overall, my brother made this card. I of course added the image for the front of the card using Rock Princess Cartridge. I know my brother's girlfriend will love the card he made her. Especially, because it was made by him and not by me. I was only there to guide him and supervise what he was doing.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--oDEztc3RWQ/T03mEnfYiTI/AAAAAAAACFA/qs2Jxd3BHKA/s1600/IMG_1180.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--oDEztc3RWQ/T03mEnfYiTI/AAAAAAAACFA/qs2Jxd3BHKA/s320/IMG_1180.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HYDxnx_uXGo/T03mGhew0PI/AAAAAAAACFI/_-pQ-gBNThQ/s1600/IMG_1182.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HYDxnx_uXGo/T03mGhew0PI/AAAAAAAACFI/_-pQ-gBNThQ/s320/IMG_1182.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ovrMsjv1YkU/T03mKpUpQVI/AAAAAAAACFY/U1bAFc2wcbA/s1600/IMG_1185.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ovrMsjv1YkU/T03mKpUpQVI/AAAAAAAACFY/U1bAFc2wcbA/s320/IMG_1185.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OWv-_TqSXgI/T03mI-WYUoI/AAAAAAAACFQ/a4Tjad82N8I/s1600/IMG_1184.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OWv-_TqSXgI/T03mI-WYUoI/AAAAAAAACFQ/a4Tjad82N8I/s320/IMG_1184.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><u><b>Materials Used:</b></u><br />Purple Card Stock: 4.5 x 5-3/4<br />Stampin Up Card Stock paper 4 x 5.5<br />Rock Princess Cartridge: Nora size 3.5<br />Paper Dress Up Dolls Cartridge: Body Size 2.5, Prom Dress, Indian Dress, Pixie Dress, Dress-Size 2.5<br />Twine, White Jelly Roll Pen, Tiny Clothespin<br />Crafty Sprouts: Are you Ready to Rock Set<br />Circle Punch: 1-3/4<br /><br /><br />Thank you everyone for stopping by and checking out my brother's card.

This weekend was so much fun as my friends and I planned a fun weekend attending the Scrapbook Expo. We did the Crop Night on Saturday which was filled with many ladies & gentlemen ready to scrap away. As I walked around to see the many things that people bring to the Crop Night, I was amazed to see everything they bring. At first I thought I brought alot, but I was wrong. It definitely was a fun Crop Night. Since the theme was Pampered Scrapper Crop Night, they brought in a Masseuse and someone who does manicures. But of course, it wasn't free! Either way, it was fun. Also, the Scrapbook Expo went around to interview those who were doing their first Crop Night there in Anaheim. My friends and I were interviewed so let's see if they posted it. LOL The following day we went shopping and I loved shopping on Sunday because it wasn't crowded and you were able to look at everything without bumping into people. I found some great stuff and did pretty well spending. I also ran into one of my blogger friends Tammy from <a href="http://creationsbyzajc.blogspot.com/">Creations by Zajc</a>. Overall, I had a fabulous time and here are a few photos of the fun filled weekend. I look forward to doing it again when they are down here in Ontario, CA. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QUKPTIrUP50/T0xNVIg3CgI/AAAAAAAACDI/u_vGLGJe9TU/s1600/IMG_1124.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QUKPTIrUP50/T0xNVIg3CgI/AAAAAAAACDI/u_vGLGJe9TU/s320/IMG_1124.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CwKrllVHZkQ/T0xNWj-AsWI/AAAAAAAACDQ/EKc9vuftp5E/s1600/IMG_1125.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CwKrllVHZkQ/T0xNWj-AsWI/AAAAAAAACDQ/EKc9vuftp5E/s320/IMG_1125.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> My Best Friend Marisela who is a wonderful crafter.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S_FAe2zgYbg/T0xNbjyP7XI/AAAAAAAACDo/ZZFgdOrgvHk/s1600/IMG_1146.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S_FAe2zgYbg/T0xNbjyP7XI/AAAAAAAACDo/ZZFgdOrgvHk/s320/IMG_1146.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> My Bestie Veronica (<a href="http://mommyscraftycreations.blogspot.com/">Mommys Crafty Creations</a>) and I ready to scrap away. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MfriGWa2zg4/T0xNZkC8kUI/AAAAAAAACDg/hBt9ZLW36vw/s1600/IMG_1142.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MfriGWa2zg4/T0xNZkC8kUI/AAAAAAAACDg/hBt9ZLW36vw/s320/IMG_1142.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Our table packed with everything we need to scrap away.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nTUdnSocBZc/T0xNYEZ97BI/AAAAAAAACDY/lXT1WVH1ht0/s1600/IMG_1132.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nTUdnSocBZc/T0xNYEZ97BI/AAAAAAAACDY/lXT1WVH1ht0/s320/IMG_1132.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Lots of crafters ready for a fun night to Crop.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fDOnf6fY2Ww/T0xNmviY1pI/AAAAAAAACEg/E7VEKp8e5DU/s1600/IMG_1159.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fDOnf6fY2Ww/T0xNmviY1pI/AAAAAAAACEg/E7VEKp8e5DU/s320/IMG_1159.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> The BFF's ready to shop shop shop!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jSd_05gmpNg/T0xNok4V1iI/AAAAAAAACEo/1OSawwZcZEU/s1600/IMG_1161.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jSd_05gmpNg/T0xNok4V1iI/AAAAAAAACEo/1OSawwZcZEU/s320/IMG_1161.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Eyelet Outlet Company showcasing some amazing cards with the best brads ever.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eQWqPCbBPOk/T0xNqU3fxYI/AAAAAAAACEw/Wyg9MTf0XP4/s1600/IMG_1174.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eQWqPCbBPOk/T0xNqU3fxYI/AAAAAAAACEw/Wyg9MTf0XP4/s320/IMG_1174.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Lots of goodies I bought!

I've always wanted to try it but I always had the fear that bears or coyotes would attack. LOL But, I do have to face my fears sometime. With that said, I wanted to try something new that describes the wilderness in a whole different way. I wanted to create something using a canvas with Cricut Images. In this canvas, I displayed a setting with what I think happens in the wilderness. Often people would fish by the lake, as wood creatures come out to say "Hello" in their own unique way. For this, I decided to place a rabbit fishing by the lake in the woods as the rabbit and deer glance at him. I really enjoyed creating something using a canvas. This is perfect to display on your walls at home. I plan on purchasing more canvases and creating more projects that can even be given as gifts. Hope everyone likes it. </span></div><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_4f474362e58bb2842201162"><span class="text_exposed_show"></span></div><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_4f474362e58bb2842201162"><span class="text_exposed_show"><br /></span><br /><div style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="text_exposed_show"> Fishing by the Lake</span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SA3YyiFn3uQ/T0dGyJsVrzI/AAAAAAAACBg/_Ga-zH2kCbc/s1600/IMG_1087.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SA3YyiFn3uQ/T0dGyJsVrzI/AAAAAAAACBg/_Ga-zH2kCbc/s320/IMG_1087.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ALeXADsWQw4/T0dGoLgO4nI/AAAAAAAACAw/6n6I-nTDKGc/s1600/IMG_1077.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ALeXADsWQw4/T0dGoLgO4nI/AAAAAAAACAw/6n6I-nTDKGc/s320/IMG_1077.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vpG0VE7-660/T0dGcZKk78I/AAAAAAAACAQ/kMgRHXKKNHg/s1600/IMG_1071.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vpG0VE7-660/T0dGcZKk78I/AAAAAAAACAQ/kMgRHXKKNHg/s320/IMG_1071.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iErnq4I7CCI/T0dGri65TrI/AAAAAAAACBA/snQBMtFLLRs/s1600/IMG_1079.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iErnq4I7CCI/T0dGri65TrI/AAAAAAAACBA/snQBMtFLLRs/s320/IMG_1079.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G3_8V-qNEgI/T0dGlQYfPxI/AAAAAAAACAo/9V_c94X3jqA/s1600/IMG_1075.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G3_8V-qNEgI/T0dGlQYfPxI/AAAAAAAACAo/9V_c94X3jqA/s320/IMG_1075.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h9ysXjmvfvs/T0dGhiesngI/AAAAAAAACAg/8m4YXUpPFZs/s1600/IMG_1074.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h9ysXjmvfvs/T0dGhiesngI/AAAAAAAACAg/8m4YXUpPFZs/s320/IMG_1074.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sIcsUuguc_4/T0dGebWZfrI/AAAAAAAACAY/AFJ0ub4EXAo/s1600/IMG_1073.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sIcsUuguc_4/T0dGebWZfrI/AAAAAAAACAY/AFJ0ub4EXAo/s320/IMG_1073.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><u><b><span class="text_exposed_show">Materials Used:</span></b></u></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="text_exposed_show">11 in. x 14 in.

I created this adorable baby ornament. I purchased several ornaments during the After Christmas Sale, and I thought, wouldn't be a good idea to create these adorable baby shower favors using an ornament. So I decided to take a clear plastic ornament and fill it with beautiful Prima flowers. Then, I took some Tulle and stuffed it in a bit before I place the cover of the ornament. Then, I used my new Baby Steps Cartridge and cut the baby girl image cut on page 22. Then, I used a set of the Crafty Sprouts Stamp Set: Rock that Baby Bump and stamped the sentiment: "Coming Soon: to a cradle near you." I thought that was the perfect saying for this favor. Then I hot glued the baby girl onto the ornament with the saying underneath her. I then attached a piece of Pink Spool Ribbon for the holder of the ornament. Such a cute and fun favor to give out.<br /><br /><div style="color: magenta; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Baby Girl Ornament Favor</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-COsPn3IfaUM/T0ffTtGZKLI/AAAAAAAACBo/AnYOJXCy1So/s1600/IMG_0731.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-COsPn3IfaUM/T0ffTtGZKLI/AAAAAAAACBo/AnYOJXCy1So/s320/IMG_0731.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X3n8_xxVJTg/T0ffVfHSWfI/AAAAAAAACBw/WxKPQtdGFzQ/s1600/IMG_0733.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X3n8_xxVJTg/T0ffVfHSWfI/AAAAAAAACBw/WxKPQtdGFzQ/s320/IMG_0733.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AgokNExdd0Y/T0ffWd5ujQI/AAAAAAAACB4/r3diJ3zZnok/s1600/IMG_0734.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AgokNExdd0Y/T0ffWd5ujQI/AAAAAAAACB4/r3diJ3zZnok/s320/IMG_0734.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uMegRpGOSSE/T0ffYZYbnSI/AAAAAAAACCA/GxV15jtOYKo/s1600/IMG_0735.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uMegRpGOSSE/T0ffYZYbnSI/AAAAAAAACCA/GxV15jtOYKo/s320/IMG_0735.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q_DKwy5rXAc/T0ffaFj-HYI/AAAAAAAACCI/lqpnjR4SxUQ/s1600/IMG_0737.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q_DKwy5rXAc/T0ffaFj-HYI/AAAAAAAACCI/lqpnjR4SxUQ/s320/IMG_0737.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Materials:</b></u></span><br />Baby Steps Cartridge: BabyGirl2 pg 22 Size 3<br />Clear Ornament<br />Prima Flowers<br />Pink Spool Ribbon<br />My Crafty Sprouts: Rock that Baby Bump Stamp Set<br />Cuttlebug Folder: Swiss Dots<br /><br /><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_4f474362e58bb2842201162" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="text_exposed_show"> Who would love to win some <span style="color: #38761d;">Blog Candy</span>?</span></b></span></div><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_4f474362e58bb2842201162" style="text-align: center;"><span class="text_exposed_show"><br /></span></div><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_4f474362e58bb2842201162" style="text-align: center;"><span class="text_exposed_show">Since I am at the Scrapbook Expo this weekend,</span></div><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_4f474362e58bb2842201162" style="text-align: center;"><span class="text_exposed_show">One lucky winner will win a <span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Surprise Goody Bag</b></u></span> of items I get from the Expo.</span></div><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_4f474362e58bb2842201162" style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_4f474362e58bb2842201162" style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="text_exposed_show">Here is what you need to do:</span></b></div><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_4f474362e58bb2842201162" style="text-align: center;"><i><span class="text_exposed_show">Winner will be announced Tuesday, February 28th.</span></i></div><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_4f474362e58bb2842201162" style="text-align: center;"><span class="text_exposed_show"><i><b>Enter no later than Sunday, February 26th by 11:59 pm PST.</b> </i><br /></span></div><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_4f474362e58bb2842201162" style="text-align: left;"><span class="text_exposed_show">1.

Their names are Jack who is a gray shabby cat and Destiny who is a black cat. I love them very much. Even though at times, my cat Jack can be a pain. He enjoys waking us up at 4am to feed him or just wanting attention. As for my cat Destiny, she is the opposite, she is more mellow and laid back. She loves us to pet her with our feet. No matter what crazy things these cats do, we love them very much. For my project, my husband wanted me to make a frame for him with a picture that I took of my cat Destiny and I as I was playing with the photo booth on the Mac Laptop. So this is what I created for him to put in his office. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Jack </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b> (He definitely is a good eater!)</b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n3G4v5E2pww/T0Hn8HfF2LI/AAAAAAAAB8U/2UeIsU_jloI/s1600/fat+jack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n3G4v5E2pww/T0Hn8HfF2LI/AAAAAAAAB8U/2UeIsU_jloI/s320/fat+jack.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dfJlUxXu8Ik/T0Hn8V4Z-8I/AAAAAAAAB8c/9WScrBlBr5k/s1600/lazy+jack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dfJlUxXu8Ik/T0Hn8V4Z-8I/AAAAAAAAB8c/9WScrBlBr5k/s320/lazy+jack.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Destiny </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>(She is saying, "Please may I have a cupcake!") </b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-amhTC0tIOko/T0Hn7vda9wI/AAAAAAAAB8M/n7ClcwOJSRg/s1600/cupcake+destiny.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-amhTC0tIOko/T0Hn7vda9wI/AAAAAAAAB8M/n7ClcwOJSRg/s320/cupcake+destiny.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b> Skyping with her pen pal!</b></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CU3NsY1cWzA/T0Hn83nyJ5I/AAAAAAAAB8k/a9OxhvNmhpQ/s1600/skyping+destiny.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CU3NsY1cWzA/T0Hn83nyJ5I/AAAAAAAAB8k/a9OxhvNmhpQ/s320/skyping+destiny.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Pet Frame </b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AOurRfeHV-Y/T0HmZyl8z-I/AAAAAAAAB7s/-LnE-TXNhQ4/s1600/IMG_1002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AOurRfeHV-Y/T0HmZyl8z-I/AAAAAAAAB7s/-LnE-TXNhQ4/s320/IMG_1002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-soo92FDqD5A/T0HmbrrpxAI/AAAAAAAAB70/LpfDWwiNLH0/s1600/IMG_1003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-soo92FDqD5A/T0HmbrrpxAI/AAAAAAAAB70/LpfDWwiNLH0/s320/IMG_1003.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DkmuRRW5qQg/T0HmdUep1KI/AAAAAAAAB78/nS_B6s1vZNw/s1600/IMG_1004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DkmuRRW5qQg/T0HmdUep1KI/AAAAAAAAB78/nS_B6s1vZNw/s320/IMG_1004.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JzsoMPmleFs/T0Hmfk9q8JI/AAAAAAAAB8E/L4ybMcaijEM/s1600/IMG_1005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JzsoMPmleFs/T0Hmfk9q8JI/AAAAAAAAB8E/L4ybMcaijEM/s320/IMG_1005.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><u><b> Materials Used:</b></u><br />$1 Michaels Frame</div><div style="text-align: left;">Stampin Up Paper</div><div style="text-align: left;">Create a Critter Cartridge: Cat2 Size 3</div><div style="text-align: left;">Pink Tulle, Prima Flowers<br /><br />Entering into the following challenges:<br /><a href="http://paperplaytime.blogspot.com/2012/02/ch-68-say-it-with-sentiments-challenge.html">Paper Playtime</a>: Ch#68 Pets!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Tomorrow I have the day off since it's President's Day, and out school is closed for the holiday. Therefore, I plan on spending the day with my hubby and possibly do some crafting later. Yesterday was such a fun day for me. My good friend Norma from <a href="http://pinkblingcrafter.blogspot.com/">PinkBling Crafter</a> planned a craft day at her house. Also, my other good friend Cindy Lou from <a href="http://scrappinc.blogspot.com/">ScrappinC</a> was in town and we got the pleasure to finally meet her in person. So it was a great way to get to know each other more and craft some amazing cards that Norma put together. Plus, Norma made a yummy cake and some good Coffee. Also, Cindy Lou is the sweetest person ever. She made each of us an adorable card and gave us a pen of our favorite color. I value the friendships that I make with new friends. I wanted to share with you just some of the cards we made and I will sure more to you tomorrow. As always, it is great to be meeting my blogger friends. Wouldn't it be fun if we all planned a Craft Retreat for bloggers. It would be so much fun. I guess just an idea to think about. Ok, enough chatter. Here 2 of the 5 cards we made.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><b>First: Here is this adorable treat favor that Norma made for me and Cindy Lou which of course as I drove back home, I realized I left it.

Hope everyone is excited for the weekend! I'm super excited to meet up with some of my crafty blogger friends later today to get our craft on. I will share what projects we made tomorrow. Well, I am counting the days till the Scrapbook Expo in Anaheim, CA which takes place next Saturday. It's going to be a fun Girl's Weekend Getaway with my wonderful BFF's which includes Veronica from <a href="http://mommyscraftycreations.blogspot.com/">Mommys Crafty Creations</a>. Since the theme for the crop night is Pamper Your Scrapper Crop Party, I wanted to make sure that our table is decorated in a fun way. Therefore, I created a great Crop Spa Day Party Favors for my BFF's. As I worked on this project yesterday till 1AM this Saturday morning, I surprise myself sometimes wondering where this creativity came from.

Hope you are having a nice Friday night!<a href="http://www.mypinkstamper.com/2012/02/10-million-hits-my-pinkalicious-blog.html"> My Pink Stamper </a>is hosting her Pinkalicios Blog Hop tonight with some amazing DT Projects. They have a fun challenge. The challenge is to create a new project using the color <span style="color: red;">Red</span>, a circle, a <span style="color: magenta;">pink</span> ribbon, and one or more of My Pink Stamper Stamps. But if you don't own her stamps, it's ok.. anything is alright to use. Oh and make sure to include a die cut. Lucky for me I do own some of her stamps which was great to use for this challenge. Hope you all like it.<br /><br /><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Wool you be mine...</b></span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-e_WGxwowqU4/TzX0fBzeZUI/AAAAAAAAB18/B_cnBgGSXro/s1600/IMG_0814.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Hope everyone is having a great Monday so far. Before I get ready to head out for nice jog, I wanted to share with you a card I made today for some challenges I found. Since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, here is another cute card I made. It is an Easel Card, but a Side Easel Card. Sorry guys, not sure really how to call this style of card. But hope everyone likes it.<br /><br /><div style="color: magenta; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Love Card</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2MoTU0xEbj4/TzCosyE0rII/AAAAAAAABzk/MLx64CeeZg8/s1600/IMG_0751.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2MoTU0xEbj4/TzCosyE0rII/AAAAAAAABzk/MLx64CeeZg8/s320/IMG_0751.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ayysUOqth30/TzCot1Qr_UI/AAAAAAAABzs/eFd4ECKTnUw/s1600/IMG_0756.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ayysUOqth30/TzCot1Qr_UI/AAAAAAAABzs/eFd4ECKTnUw/s320/IMG_0756.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vdL3TXjEsFA/TzCovFcNRAI/AAAAAAAABz0/uIjoQCbAjpI/s1600/IMG_0757.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vdL3TXjEsFA/TzCovFcNRAI/AAAAAAAABz0/uIjoQCbAjpI/s320/IMG_0757.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r66uQolZZ9M/TzCowqdAf1I/AAAAAAAABz8/DZTtLE17odg/s1600/IMG_0768.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r66uQolZZ9M/TzCowqdAf1I/AAAAAAAABz8/DZTtLE17odg/s320/IMG_0768.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f3NIzDAd1uU/TzCox3tzruI/AAAAAAAAB0E/BQWeJsq4tdM/s1600/IMG_0769.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f3NIzDAd1uU/TzCox3tzruI/AAAAAAAAB0E/BQWeJsq4tdM/s320/IMG_0769.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rnl8Imkignc/TzCozpSkQxI/AAAAAAAAB0M/5Q872ULKtxo/s1600/IMG_0770.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rnl8Imkignc/TzCozpSkQxI/AAAAAAAAB0M/5Q872ULKtxo/s320/IMG_0770.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YyYc9mtXXZ8/TzCo1AQs_dI/AAAAAAAAB0U/lEJ-cYrttyY/s1600/IMG_0772.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YyYc9mtXXZ8/TzCo1AQs_dI/AAAAAAAAB0U/lEJ-cYrttyY/s320/IMG_0772.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">As you can see, it has two different backgrounds because I couldn't decide which one to use to display my card.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far. Did any of you took advantage of the coupon that Michaels had today. If you spent more than $5.00 before Taxes, you get $5 bucks off. Such a great deal I think. Unfortunately, I didnt really buy any scrapbooking stuff because Im waiting for the expo, instead Ive bought a bag of Wilton's Candy Melts, Candy Heart Molds, and the $1.00 frames. So for everything, I've only paid .50cents. Sweet deal because I plan on making a Valentine Treat bag for my hubby filled with the heart candies. Once I make them, I will post a picture of it. However, I am currently working in my craft room and wanted to make some cards. Here is one card I just finished making that I wanted to share with you. It is a birthday card that I plan to put in my stash of cards.

Thank you for stopping by. My niece Sonia who is a Sophmore in High School received great grades on her report card and passed all her Exams for the Semester. Her mom was so proud of her. When I read about how well she did in school, I wanted to make a card for her to tell her also how proud I am of her. She is a beautiful, cheerful, smart, friendly, and has an outgoing personality young lady. I could just go on and on about what a great girl she is and Im lucky to be her Tia (Aunt). During Christmas break, I got to spend the day with her and talk about what her accomplishments, life, and just anything that comes to mind. With that said, I created this cute card to say how proud I am of her and to continue her great success in school. If my niece is reading this, I just want to say "Sonia, fabulous job on getting awesome grades and passing your exams. You are making your family very proud. And you are a great role model to your siblings. Love you mija!

I'm so excited to finally get myself back into my craft room and become inspired again to create. I'm slowly getting back into my mode of crafting. I put on the Pandora Station and listened to music and let the creativity flow. Plus, my hubby also brought me some Starbucks to give me some energy. Thanks love for my Frapp. Therefore, today I wanted to share with you the mini cards that I have made Valentine's Day and enter them into a few challenges. Plus, one of my besties Veronica from <a href="http://mommyscraftycreations.blogspot.com/">Mommys Crafty Creations</a> is on the lookout to make sure I created a project and entered into some challenges. Also, my good friend Norma from <a href="http://pinkblingcrafter.blogspot.com/">PinkBling Crafter</a> wanted to make sure I get my craft back in gear. Thanks girls for the push to get back to creating. LOL<br /><br />I really had fun making these two mini Valentine Cards because they are too cute and simple. To make these cards, I used the Sweethearts Cartridge. <br /><br /><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Mini Valentine Cards</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mhSdTnGcAPI/Tyt8HSsamPI/AAAAAAAABwE/-X-AZFZG24I/s1600/IMG_0687.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mhSdTnGcAPI/Tyt8HSsamPI/AAAAAAAABwE/-X-AZFZG24I/s320/IMG_0687.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qz8B5N6P2lI/Tyt8I8XkubI/AAAAAAAABwM/OBEsFaHcVH0/s1600/IMG_0688.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qz8B5N6P2lI/Tyt8I8XkubI/AAAAAAAABwM/OBEsFaHcVH0/s320/IMG_0688.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OY1KvJHoc_E/Tyt79709Z5I/AAAAAAAABvU/lX8KX1SKLlM/s1600/IMG_0675.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OY1KvJHoc_E/Tyt79709Z5I/AAAAAAAABvU/lX8KX1SKLlM/s320/IMG_0675.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Doesn't he look splashing in those glasses!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-L5wXbHvA3tI/Tyt7_DclsPI/AAAAAAAABvc/eC8-r6S7eLI/s1600/IMG_0677.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-L5wXbHvA3tI/Tyt7_DclsPI/AAAAAAAABvc/eC8-r6S7eLI/s320/IMG_0677.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w8DPPXysfPM/Tyt8ATDfYTI/AAAAAAAABvk/2ez82yAXQXI/s1600/IMG_0683.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w8DPPXysfPM/Tyt8ATDfYTI/AAAAAAAABvk/2ez82yAXQXI/s320/IMG_0683.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TGQ5AnUiQ4A/Tyt8B4-zh7I/AAAAAAAABvs/6x76gkrSJeo/s1600/IMG_0684.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TGQ5AnUiQ4A/Tyt8B4-zh7I/AAAAAAAABvs/6x76gkrSJeo/s320/IMG_0684.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Pucker Up Froggie!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7sC13E9NfGQ/Tyt8E0q6mmI/AAAAAAAABv0/MtH6US3c0W0/s1600/IMG_0685.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7sC13E9NfGQ/Tyt8E0q6mmI/AAAAAAAABv0/MtH6US3c0W0/s320/IMG_0685.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><u><b>Materials Used:</b></u></div><div style="text-align: left;">3 x 3 White Card Stock for Card</div><div style="text-align: left;">2-3/4 x 2-3/4 Red Card Stock</div><div style="text-align: left;">Cuttlebug Folders: Swiss Dots & Floral Fantasy</div><div style="text-align: left;">Sweethearts Cartridge: Monkey Pg 43 & Frog Prince Pg 42</div><div style="text-align: left;">Eyelet Outlet and Brads: Glasses</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Stickles</div><div style="text-align: left;">Googly Eyes and Copic Markers</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thank you for stopping by and be sure to come by tomorrow as I have a cute card I made.

I would like to let everyone know that I am super excited because I will be attending the Scrapbook Expo once again, but this time it will be taking place in Anaheim,CA at the Anaheim Convention Center. My friends and I which includes Veronica from MommysCraftyCreations will also be attending. We are going to do the Crop Night on Saturday, February 25th and shopping the following day. If any of you will be attending the expo that weekend of February 25th and 26th, please let me know. I would love to stop by and say hello. Well, I guess that means I need to spend less at Michaels to save some money for the expo. LOL I could just hear my hubby tell me "Didn't you just attend the Scrapbook Expo in Ontario back in November!" My response would be, "I am there to show support for my friends who couldn't attend last time. " LOL So Im super excited to have a fun Girl's Weekend out in Anahiem filled with lots of scrapbooking fun. Good night everyone and be sure to stop by my blog tomorrow for Die Cuttin Divas Tuesday Challenge.<br /><br /><br /><div style="color: blue; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Hugs,</span></b></div><div style="color: blue; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Patty</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">Creative Diva</span></span></b></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3910109964018280441-5338008741033202625?l=creativediva98.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Creative Divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09697476556259387972noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910109964018280441.post-61832988450846073372012-01-28T06:00:00.000-08:002012-01-31T20:03:14.235-08:00Valentine's Day Blog HopHello everyone! <span style="color: red;"><b>Welcome to the Valentine's Day Blog Hop!</b> </span>This hop is hosted by my good friend Sylvia from<a href="http://www.bellascrapbookdesigns.blogspot.com/"> Bella Scrapbook Designs</a>! If you have arrived from <a href="http://www.evasscrapsncards.blogspot.com/">Eva's Blog</a> then you are in the right place. If not, I would love for you to the start from the beginning with our host <a href="http://www.bellascrapbookdesigns.blogspot.com/">Sylvia</a>. The month of February is quickly approaching which means that LOVE is in the air, couples are coming together to spend time together, and students are thinking about what special treats they can give out to their classmates. But if you are single, you don't have to spend Valentine's Day alone, having your loved ones and great friends around you even makes the day wonderful. With that said, this hop will bring you some great ideas on what to create for the special Holiday. Hope that you take the time to hop around to be inspired of the wonderful creations that everyone on this Blog Hop have made.<br /><br />Since I work in a Kindergarten class, I wanted to make a special treat for the students. I decided to make a Valentine Treat Favor. As I look around my cartridges, I decided to go with one of my top favorites which is Create a Critter! I wanted to choose an image that describes Valentine so I picked out the heart that has wings. It is found on page 66 of the Ladybug. Then, I bought a pack of Glow Sticks from the $1 bin at Target and created this which I hope you like.<br /><br /><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Valentine Treat Favor</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rHkqMu2edUk/TyImk1HAMYI/AAAAAAAABuQ/KCO36Nba9Jg/s1600/IMG_0648.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rHkqMu2edUk/TyImk1HAMYI/AAAAAAAABuQ/KCO36Nba9Jg/s320/IMG_0648.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZxcJYb05D0s/TyImmvRfhZI/AAAAAAAABuY/qlDtyAz0W4k/s1600/IMG_0649.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZxcJYb05D0s/TyImmvRfhZI/AAAAAAAABuY/qlDtyAz0W4k/s320/IMG_0649.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AHwcqtNMtEg/TyImoPz8XPI/AAAAAAAABug/vQVoMf1hJs8/s1600/IMG_0650.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AHwcqtNMtEg/TyImoPz8XPI/AAAAAAAABug/vQVoMf1hJs8/s320/IMG_0650.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="color: red; text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Materials Used:</span></span></span></b></div><div style="color: red; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Card Stock: Black, Red, White</span></span></span></div><div style="color: red; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Create a Critter Cartridge: pg 66 Heart Size 2.5</span></span></span></div><div style="color: red; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Glow in the Dark Sticks from $1 bin at Target</span></span></span><br /><br /><u><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Entering into the following challenge:</span></span></span></b></u><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">Little Scrap Pieces: <a href="http://littlescrappieces.blogspot.com/2012/01/winner-and-new-challenge-use-red.html">Challenge Use Red</a></span></span></span></span></div><div style="color: red; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Who would love to win some "<b style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;">BLOG CANDY</span></b>" ?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>One lucky winner will get to win a Craft Scissors: Scallop Edge</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b> </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VE4gEGlEG_M/TyIn_qDPBsI/AAAAAAAABuo/eKbptIJVGio/s1600/IMG_0651.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VE4gEGlEG_M/TyIn_qDPBsI/AAAAAAAABuo/eKbptIJVGio/s320/IMG_0651.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Giveaway has now closed.</b></span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; text-align: center;"><strike><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Here are some simple requirements:</b></span></strike></div><div style="color: #0b5394; text-align: center;"><strike><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="color: black;">Enter no later than Sunday, January 29 by 11:59pm PST.</span></b></span><b> </b></span></strike></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strike><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">Winner will be announced on Monday, January 30. </span></b></span></strike></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span> </b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;">1.

This hop is all about highlighting some of our favorite stamps from Sweet Stamping Treats. If you arrived here from <a href="http://pixiperfectcreations.blogspot.com/">Amber's</a> blog you are in the right place. If you want to start from the beginning please go to <a href="http://sweetstampingtreats.blogspot.com/">Sweet StampingTreats</a><span class="text_exposed_show">. This hop is full of great projects and prizes! Sweet Stamping Treats is giving away the entire January release to one lucky hopper who is a follower of Sweet Stamping Treats and comments on all of the blogs in the hop. Plus, there are some single stamps "hidden" in a few of the blogs along the way. For a chance to win one of the singles you must comment on their blogs and be a follower of their blogs too.<br /><br /> I would also like to thank Amber and Sweet Stamping Treats for having me part of their blog hop. I really enjoyed seeing all the amazing images that you can work with. It is always hard to just choose one as they are all really great. This is my first time working with a digi stamp or being introduced to digi stamps. I had alot of fun working with it which I am now ready to share the card I made using this particular stamp.</span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show"><br />My project today is made with the <b style="color: magenta;">"Love Banner"</b> stamp:</span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show"><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="text_exposed_show"> </span></div><span class="text_exposed_show">This image worked perfectly for me to create a Valentine's card for the special person in my life. I thought a banner would be perfect to describe Love. I used my Copic Markers and Stamps by Judith Markers to add color to the banner. I also used the 3D Crystal Lacquer to ad the 3D Effect. Again, this was my first time using the 3D Lacquer which I really liked how it turned out and plan on using it again for future projects. </span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show"></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ClLp4hvlfLg/TxndUqwjsZI/AAAAAAAABtU/dImXdrWLQ74/s1600/IMG_0573.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ClLp4hvlfLg/TxndUqwjsZI/AAAAAAAABtU/dImXdrWLQ74/s320/IMG_0573.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PUJK7wANXu4/TxndWdbfVRI/AAAAAAAABtc/XqM6Qxo-IN8/s1600/IMG_0574.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PUJK7wANXu4/TxndWdbfVRI/AAAAAAAABtc/XqM6Qxo-IN8/s320/IMG_0574.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FZ57HeCXSbg/TxndYM37I-I/AAAAAAAABtk/ld2O06ALhfs/s1600/IMG_0577.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FZ57HeCXSbg/TxndYM37I-I/AAAAAAAABtk/ld2O06ALhfs/s320/IMG_0577.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MQbGgUmWk_A/TxndZ2eXIjI/AAAAAAAABts/WARiqtjH_V4/s1600/IMG_0582.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MQbGgUmWk_A/TxndZ2eXIjI/AAAAAAAABts/WARiqtjH_V4/s320/IMG_0582.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><span class="text_exposed_show"><br /><u><b>Materials Used:</b></u></span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show">White Card Stock for card: 5 x 6</span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show">Pink Card Stock: 4-3/4 x 5-3/4</span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show">Sweet Stamping Treats Digi Stamp: Love Banner</span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show">3D Crystal Lacquer</span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show">Stamps By Judith: Tombow Acid Free Watercolor Markers</span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show">Copic Markers: E11 Barley Beige, RV23 Pure Pink</span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show">Queen & Company: Berry Red Pearls<br /><br /><br />Thanks for hopping along!

We enjoyed seeing all the wonderful projects everyone made for the last challenge. You have done an incredible job. We would love to welcome you back to another new challenge this week. </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Our new challenge this week is for the following:</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">Squirrel Appreciation Day ... Let's use a squirrel on our project this week.</span></b></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />When : Always January 21st <br /><br />Squirrel Appreciation Day is an opportunity to enjoy and appreciate your tree climbing, nut gathering neighborhood squirrels. It's held in mid-winter when food sources are scarce for squirrels and other wildlife. Sure, squirrels spent all fall gathering and "squirreling " away food. But, their supplies may not be enough. And, the variety of food is limited. So, give them an extra special treat today to supplement their winter diets. </span><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://diecuttindivas.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=downloadattachmentpage&board=newyearsprojects&thread=101&post=1126"><img border="0" src="http://attachments.proboards.com/100105/diecuttindivas/Mev3mm9lGzzcQGlq8nLX.jpg" /></a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><br />We would love to see what project you can create that include this cute luttle critter.

I plan on giving it to my husband because when I showed him the card, the first thing he said was "Babe, I want that card." So I guess he will getting the card. For my card, I used one of my top favorite cartridges which is Create a Critter for the Squirrel. Then I used Give a Hoot Cartridge for the Trees. Also, thanks to one of your sponsors: <b>Eyelet Outlet & Brads Company</b>, I used their ladybug brads. Aren't they cute.

Wow, I cannot believe how quickly the time has gone. Only a year ago, I created a blog to showcase my love for crafting and I would have never imagined the joy I had to meet so many great friends who also love crafting. I've even got to meet some of you in person and have built great friendships. I appreciate and love everyone for being able to become a follower of my blog and always providing kind words which inspire me each day to create. I've never thought myself as a creative person but I do try. I hope that this year I can accomplish more with my crafting. I know lately it's been hard getting back to crafting. I guess just trying to get my mojo back. LOL But, I do promise to start getting back into my craft room and let my creativity arise. I do want to start making my own stamp with my logo so that when I create cards for friends and co-workers, they know where it was made. So, to say thank you to everyone for being a faithful follower of my blog and to also helped me reach 500 followers which I am so thankful for. I am having a great giveaway for everyone.<br /><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b><br /></b></u></span><br /><div style="color: blue; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>My Blogaversary/500 Follower Giveaway:</b></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3mwrE41mH1k/TxD9Ru_67lI/AAAAAAAABss/SBL-3ODHoOA/s1600/IMG_0525.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3mwrE41mH1k/TxD9Ru_67lI/AAAAAAAABss/SBL-3ODHoOA/s320/IMG_0525.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Rs0h8_vfoQk/TxD9TqyMghI/AAAAAAAABs0/51gRAiw7N1o/s1600/IMG_0526.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Rs0h8_vfoQk/TxD9TqyMghI/AAAAAAAABs0/51gRAiw7N1o/s320/IMG_0526.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BAMfBZurNBA/TxD9VirFKZI/AAAAAAAABs8/ZXkle8OT2Hw/s1600/IMG_0527.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BAMfBZurNBA/TxD9VirFKZI/AAAAAAAABs8/ZXkle8OT2Hw/s320/IMG_0527.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Giveaway includes the following:</b></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">12" x 12" Pre-Made Page Spread: Clown</div><div style="text-align: center;">12" x 12" Wedding Layout Page Kit</div><div style="text-align: center;">12" x 12" Purrfect Pet Scrapbooking Kit</div><div style="text-align: center;">Expressions Rub-ons: Winter</div><div style="text-align: center;">Rub-ons Transfers: Pretty Girls</div><div style="text-align: center;">Bird Pack Stickers</div><div style="text-align: center;">Prima Flowers</div><div style="text-align: center;">Mini Photo Case</div><div style="text-align: center;">Heidi Swapp Clear Stamps: Remember, Imagine, Destination</div><div style="text-align: center;">$5.00 Starbucks Gift Card (Gift Card not shown) </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">One lucky follower will win this great giveaway.

In addition to Kristal and the Senior Design Team, we look forward to introducing you to the rest of our NEW Junior Design Team (be sure to visit Kristal's Blog to see ALL of our "new additions"!!)... Each of us, along with our <a href="http://creativediva98.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Special Guest - Patty from "Creative Diva"</a>, are so pleased to have you here with us!! Throughout the hop, you'll see NEW ideas for creating cards and projects with Kristal's stamps sets!!<br /><br />If you've hopped along from <a href="http://www.gettingcricky.com/" target="">Kristals Blog</a> then you are in the right place!! If you are just joining me from your dashboard, or reading this via email, please be sure to <a href="http://www.gettingcricky.com/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to start at the beginning with <a href="http://www.gettingcricky.com/" target="_blank">Kristal's blog</a> (you'll want to catch up on all the FUN!!)...<br /><br />Each of Kristal's stamp sets benefit charity. At least $1 per stamp set goes to benefit the charity noted on the stamp set package. Kristal is donating to the following charities: Cancer Angels, Storefront Shelter for Homeless Children, Intrepid & Fallen Heroes, E. Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Doorways Shelter for Women & Children (Domestic Violence), Wayside House for Women, Camp Good Days & Special Times, Adopt a Classroom, and Autism Research Institute. Kristal will donate $1 for every stamp set sold, retail or wholesale to the charity noted; and over time believes this will add up to some wonderful miracles for these special people. So you can feel good that each time you purchase a K Andrew Designs art stamp set, someone around the country is receiving some good help!<br /><br />K Andrew's stamps are all made and assembled here in the USA, which is very important to Kristal. This ensures all product materials are safe and that jobs are being provided and maintained here in America. You can learn even more about Kristal's stamps (and pick some up for yourself) by visiting her online store: <a href="http://kandrewdesigns.com/" target="_blank">K Andrew Designs</a>:<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.kandrewdesigns.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Dfnz5oZT8Jk/ThXq6q4tOII/AAAAAAAAAKE/91pPu6nxEHo/s200/K%2BAndrew%2BDesigns.jpg" width="186" /></a></center><br /><br />Kristal's stamp sets are perfect for cards, layouts, and so much more...<br /><br />For my project, I'm featuring the Splashtastic Summer Stamp Set.

I have loved using Getting Cricky Stamp sets as I enjoy playing around with the words and seeing what I can build with them. For my project, I wanted to create a Snow Sentational Treat for kids and adults for the Winter Holiday Season. Two months ago,I attended the Scrapbook Expo in Ontario, CA and took one of the workshops which was called The Buzz Chics where I learned different card techniques. There is one that I really enjoyed making which worked perfectly for this hop.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Steps for "Treat Holder" </span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>First:</b> Cut Teal card stock at 10-1/4 x 3-1/4. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Second:</b> Cut Snowflake Paper from Recollections Christmas Pack measured at 10 x 3 and adhere to the teal strip.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Third: </b>With the Snowflake paper facing down, score at 3", 3-3/8", 6-3/8", 6-3/4", and 9.5"</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Fourth: </b>Pre-fold at all score marks.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Fifth: </b>Punch 1st 3" section with 1-3/4 punch, centered.

Welcome to the <i style="color: #cc0000;"><b>12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop</b></i>: Day 12! Can you believe the Holidays are quickly approaching.What great way to start of the Season by visiting us for these 12 Days filled with Christmas Ideas. If you have arrived from <a href="http://www.365daysofcricut.blogspot.com/">Sandra's blog</a>, you are in the right place, if not I would really love for you to start at the beginning with our dearest Host <a href="http://www.bellascrapbookdesigns.blogspot.com/">Sylvia</a>. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This Christmas Season is the best holiday for me because I look forward to spending the holidays with my family and husband. But also to be able to give others as best as I can. My goal for this Christmas Season is to give back some how. I know that I am not able to help everyone but every little counts. This Christmas I would love to provide one child in need of a Christmas miracle by providing them with a back pack filled with items such as clothes, a toy, school supplies, and yummy snacks. I also want to find out about how I can go help at a shelter and serve food to the people in need. Truly these are my goals for this Christmas Season and hope to accomplish them. With these 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop, you will get to see some fun projects that I plan to send out to some kids or family and brighten up their day.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Wow! Can you believe? We have shared over 12 projects the celebrate the Holiday Season. I hope that we have filled you with ideas and inspirations. I thank all of you who have been stopping by each day to take a peek at the projects I have made. So as my final project, I wanted to create something fun that can be given to kids as a Special Holiday Treat. I decorated these cute little gift boxes that can be given to a boy and girl. I was excited to use my cartridge Winter Frolic.They have so many cute images. Each treat box may be filled with different type of treats, but for this one I filled it with a Caught Being Good Ticket and a pack of Crackers since it goes perfectly with my sentiment stamp: "Is it too late to be good?" from Crafty Sprouts: Have a Cool Yule" Stamp Set. Hope everyone will like this!<br /><br /><b>Directions:</b> Take a Wedding Favor Box and measure the Christmas Paper around the box to get the right size. I believe mine was measured at 2.5 x 12 but probably less than that. Just cut any excess off as you adhere it to the box. Then take a strip of Holiday ribbon and adhere around the box. Then, use pop ups to add the image to the center of your box. I added stickles to part of the images to make them stand out.Then, I attached a tag to each treat box and filled it with goodies.

Welcome to the <i style="color: #cc0000;"><b>12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop</b></i>: Day 11! Can you believe the Holidays are quickly approaching.What great way to start of the Season by visiting us for these 12 Days filled with Christmas Ideas. If you have arrived from <a href="http://www.365daysofcricut.blogspot.com/">Sandra's blog</a>, you are in the right place, if not I would really love for you to start at the beginning with our dearest Host <a href="http://www.bellascrapbookdesigns.blogspot.com/">Sylvia</a>. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This Christmas Season is the best holiday for me because I look forward to spending the holidays with my family and husband. But also to be able to give others as best as I can. My goal for this Christmas Season is to give back some how. I know that I am not able to help everyone but every little counts. This Christmas I would love to provide one child in need of a Christmas miracle by providing them with a back pack filled with items such as clothes, a toy, school supplies, and yummy snacks. I also want to find out about how I can go help at a shelter and serve food to the people in need. Truly these are my goals for this Christmas Season and hope to accomplish them. With these 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop, you will get to see some fun projects that I plan to send out to some kids or family and brighten up their day.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>For this project, I made another Christmas Ornament. I wanted to create a Present Ornament created by using a foam square that I purchased from a pack of foam squares that I bought at the Dollar Tree. Then, I used Christmas Paper and wrapped it like a present. Then I cut the Christmas sentiment from Christmas Paper. I also used the Winter Bundle Ribbon from 3 Girls Jam to glue around the present.

Welcome to the <i style="color: #cc0000;"><b>12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop</b></i>: Day 10! Can you believe the Holidays are quickly approaching.What great way to start of the Season by visiting us for these 12 Days filled with Christmas Ideas. If you have arrived from <a href="http://www.365daysofcricut.blogspot.com/">Sandra's blog</a>, you are in the right place, if not I would really love for you to start at the beginning with our dearest Host <a href="http://www.bellascrapbookdesigns.blogspot.com/">Sylvia</a>. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This Christmas Season is the best holiday for me because I look forward to spending the holidays with my family and husband. But also to be able to give others as best as I can. My goal for this Christmas Season is to give back some how. I know that I am not able to help everyone but every little counts. This Christmas I would love to provide one child in need of a Christmas miracle by providing them with a back pack filled with items such as clothes, a toy, school supplies, and yummy snacks. I also want to find out about how I can go help at a shelter and serve food to the people in need. Truly these are my goals for this Christmas Season and hope to accomplish them. With these 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop, you will get to see some fun projects that I plan to send out to some kids or family and brighten up their day.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>For this project, I decorated a Metal Container that I purchased at Target in the $1.00 bin as a Gift Container. Since these normally cost more than 3 bucks at Michaels and Joanns, I ended up getting several to have. For this Gift Tin, you can fill it up with candy, Christmas Items, or just anything fun.<br /><br /><br /><br />First, you need to cut 4 x 12 Christmas paper and wrap it around the container. Then, I used ribbon from the winter ribbon of 3 Girls Jam to wrap around the container and handle. Then I hot glue a Holiday brad to the center of the container as it is attached to a green ribbon.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0T31DVYXRJU/Tts2sZ6QeAI/AAAAAAAABmI/swugdNYbUJ4/s1600/DSC02080.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0T31DVYXRJU/Tts2sZ6QeAI/AAAAAAAABmI/swugdNYbUJ4/s320/DSC02080.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S-hF2WZ-8OU/Tts2ts-KkhI/AAAAAAAABmQ/zRtC4TdD3R0/s1600/DSC02081.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S-hF2WZ-8OU/Tts2ts-KkhI/AAAAAAAABmQ/zRtC4TdD3R0/s320/DSC02081.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yF-LQJJb4Ns/Tts2vIHqFVI/AAAAAAAABmY/pZOYDcDrCm4/s1600/DSC02082.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yF-LQJJb4Ns/Tts2vIHqFVI/AAAAAAAABmY/pZOYDcDrCm4/s320/DSC02082.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><u><b>Materials:</b></u><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Metal Container </div>3 Girls Jam: Winter Bundle Ribbon<br />Merry & Bright Ribbon<br />Hot Glue Gun<br /><br /><br /><div style="color: #274e13; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><b>Blog Candy anyone!!!</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Throughout the conclusion of the Hop, I will select 3 winners for Blog Candy.

Welcome to the <i style="color: #cc0000;"><b>12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop</b></i>: Day 8! Can you believe the Holidays are quickly approaching.What great way to start of the Season by visiting us for these 12 Days filled with Christmas Ideas. If you have arrived from <a href="http://www.365daysofcricut.blogspot.com/">Sandra's blog</a>, you are in the right place, if not I would really love for you to start at the beginning with our dearest Host <a href="http://www.bellascrapbookdesigns.blogspot.com/">Sylvia</a>. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This Christmas Season is the best holiday for me because I look forward to spending the holidays with my family and husband. But also to be able to give others as best as I can. My goal for this Christmas Season is to give back some how. I know that I am not able to help everyone but every little counts. This Christmas I would love to provide one child in need of a Christmas miracle by providing them with a back pack filled with items such as clothes, a toy, school supplies, and yummy snacks. I also want to find out about how I can go help at a shelter and serve food to the people in need. Truly these are my goals for this Christmas Season and hope to accomplish them. With these 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop, you will get to see some fun projects that I plan to send out to some kids or family and brighten up their day.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>I wanted to create a fun and easy project.Especially since I was feeling under the weather yesterday, I still wanted to craft. I guess it's just been pretty windy in Southern California. We been getting some crazy winds. On the plus side, today I get to sub a Kinder class where I already work in.So Im excited about working with the little ones.Ok, sorry to get off track, back to the project.LOL. What would be more fun then to receive a candy bar of some sort as a Christmas Stuffer but decorated. I wanted to create a candy wrapper for my treat. I used some Christmas Paper and my 3 Girls Jam Ribbon to add the final touch to the treat.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>First</b>: Gather your materials: Candy Bar, Christmas Paper, Ribbon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q2CppR25dUs/Tthwmae72GI/AAAAAAAABlY/hMWWoN4OVFU/s1600/DSC02067.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q2CppR25dUs/Tthwmae72GI/AAAAAAAABlY/hMWWoN4OVFU/s320/DSC02067.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Second: </b>Cut 3-3/4 x 4-3/4 of Christmas Paper.

I also want to find out about how I can go help at a shelter and serve food to the people in need. Truly these are my goals for this Christmas Season and hope to accomplish them. With these 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop, you will get to see some fun projects that I plan to send out to some kids or family and brighten up their day.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">For this project, I've seen many talented people create projects with tiles. I wanted to give it a try and see what I could create. So I wanted to create a fun Christmas Tile that can be used to set the spirit of Christmas in your home. I went to Home Depot which for some reason it's my favorite place to go, I guess it's because I grew up going with my dad all the time to pick up supplies.So when I go to Home Depot, I start to think about what I can buy and what I can use to make things with. Here's hoping you like this project. :)</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>First</b>: Take a small clear tile and lay it on top of newspaper. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Uuy1tvzndxM/TtK1wYp0bFI/AAAAAAAABkw/OMDQWmtJKrc/s1600/DSC02061.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Uuy1tvzndxM/TtK1wYp0bFI/AAAAAAAABkw/OMDQWmtJKrc/s320/DSC02061.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <b>Second:</b> Take White Acrylic paint to paint the snow at the bottom and top of the tile.

Now, after several tries, I finally got it to stick to the tile. (LOL) Also be sure to let the tile set to dry. I realized that is why my snowman didn't want to stick. haha<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dD1KunVff2s/TtK1z5-uSgI/AAAAAAAABlA/GGmR7elb9Kk/s1600/DSC02063.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dD1KunVff2s/TtK1z5-uSgI/AAAAAAAABlA/GGmR7elb9Kk/s320/DSC02063.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><b> Fourth,</b> I cute 2 snowflakes from my Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch.

Welcome to the <i style="color: #cc0000;"><b>12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop</b></i>: Day 6! Can you believe the Holidays are quickly approaching.What great way to start of the Season by visiting us for these 12 Days filled with Christmas Ideas. If you have arrived from <a href="http://www.365daysofcricut.blogspot.com/">Sandra's blog</a>, you are in the right place, if not I would really love for you to start at the beginning with our dearest Host <a href="http://www.bellascrapbookdesigns.blogspot.com/">Sylvia</a>. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This Christmas Season is the best holiday for me because I look forward to spending the holidays with my family and husband. But also to be able to give others as best as I can. My goal for this Christmas Season is to give back some how. I know that I am not able to help everyone but every little counts. This Christmas I would love to provide one child in need of a Christmas miracle by providing them with a back pack filled with items such as clothes, a toy, school supplies, and yummy snacks. I also want to find out about how I can go help at a shelter and serve food to the people in need. Truly these are my goals for this Christmas Season and hope to accomplish them. With these 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop, you will get to see some fun projects that I plan to send out to some kids or family and brighten up their day.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">For this project, I took advantage at the sale at Michaels this past weekend for Black Friday and the clear ornaments were on sale. Now, I only purchased one but now that I made this project, I wish I would have purchased more. I looked at some of the examples that Michaels had Displayed and I wanted to create one for our tree. Since the theme that I plan for decorating our Tree this year will be Christmas Candy Theme, I wanted to choose red and green to create the ornament. Hope you all like it. This was a very fun and easy project to do. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Here are the materials you will be needing for this project:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0LNUDA4NRHc/TtKxTE-WSNI/AAAAAAAABjg/5b5IzHUzvTA/s1600/DSC02044.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0LNUDA4NRHc/TtKxTE-WSNI/AAAAAAAABjg/5b5IzHUzvTA/s320/DSC02044.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><b> First</b>, take red and green acrylic paint and paint circle dots around your ornament.

Welcome to the <i style="color: #cc0000;"><b>12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop</b></i>: Day 5! Can you believe the Holidays are quickly approaching.What great way to start of the Season by visiting us for these 12 Days filled with Christmas Ideas. If you have arrived from <a href="http://www.365daysofcricut.blogspot.com/">Sandra's blog</a>, you are in the right place, if not I would really love for you to start at the beginning with our dearest Host <a href="http://www.bellascrapbookdesigns.blogspot.com/">Sylvia</a>. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This Christmas Season is the best holiday for me because I look forward to spending the holidays with my family and husband. But also to be able to give others as best as I can. My goal for this Christmas Season is to give back some how. I know that I am not able to help everyone but every little counts. This Christmas I would love to provide one child in need of a Christmas miracle by providing them with a back pack filled with items such as clothes, a toy, school supplies, and yummy snacks. I also want to find out about how I can go help at a shelter and serve food to the people in need. Truly these are my goals for this Christmas Season and hope to accomplish them. With these 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop, you will get to see some fun projects that I plan to send out to some kids or family and brighten up their day.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">For today's project: I wanted to create something that can be given as a gift for a stocking stuffer or to give to someone at your work. This is a Santa Treat Favor. When I went to the Scrapbook Expo this month in Ontario, CA I saw that they had these clear plastic canisters or whatever they are called and I wanted to create something with it. So I figured why not decorate it into Santa Claus and that is what I did.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A few materials you will need to create "Santa Claus Treat Favor."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JUjjQXdlqVI/TtKr515bp7I/AAAAAAAABiQ/PvnFC-KwsBE/s1600/DSC02029.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JUjjQXdlqVI/TtKr515bp7I/AAAAAAAABiQ/PvnFC-KwsBE/s320/DSC02029.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UEBNpsGjgys/TtKr7KVhmfI/AAAAAAAABiY/Tu9vGxv3BI4/s1600/DSC02030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UEBNpsGjgys/TtKr7KVhmfI/AAAAAAAABiY/Tu9vGxv3BI4/s320/DSC02030.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"> <b>First:</b> Take a piece of red felt and measure to the length of the canister.
