Winter's In The Air Blog Hop!!

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but these projects are so delightful!

Welcome to the ‘Winter’s In The Air’ blog hop. 

We have all made projects to warm your heart, and potentially decorate your home, during these snowy months.

I made this card without a sentiment so I could use it for whatever may come up! I cannot take credit for painting him :( The bear is actually one of those wooden, already painted bears you would get at the craft store! I just traced him and fussy cut a shadow so he would stand out against my background paper and inked the edges. The white 'snow' is actually glitter paper, just can't tel from the pic.

If you comment on everyone’s post you will be entered to win this from Melanie.  It includes paper, stickers, metal embellies, adhesive, mists, stencils, a journal and more.  Be sure to check back on Tuesday, Jan 22 to see who won.

Here is the line up for today.

Bling in the New Year Hop!!!!

Hello out there!!! Everyone getting settled back into 'normal' life, or not-so-normal?!! You should've come here from Suzanne who also is our Hop Sponsor!! Did you see her uber fabulous Grand Prize?!!

HOLY COW LOOK AT THAT YUMMINESS!!

All you have to do is hop along, like the blog and leave comment! Woo Hoo Easy Peasy!!

This blog is to Bling in the New Year and I saw on Pinterest (i know i know, crazily addicting!) and wanted to incorporate this. You take a jar, bling and some glitter:

Spread craft glue all over the jar. Found out the hard way to not put it on too thick or your rhinestone will glob and run down the side!!

Add rhinestones and some glitter:

You can decorate the lid (i put mine off to the side for now). 

Now write your note for the New Year! JaKobe claims his note pictured below says he loves me!

I wrote on the other side of the 2"x 2" paper and said I had fun making this jar with him and dated it.

We will add notes throughout the year, wishes, good things that happen, funny things he says, anything we may want to remember and then open the jar next new years and read them!! This is a super fun project for your toddler and something you can cherish forever! I plan to take all of the notes out next year and make a Year in Review scrapbook page with all of the notes!!

Now your next stop is the uber creative ROBIN!!!

And don't forget to like pages and leave comments to win Suzanne's fantastic prize!! In case you get lost along the way, here's the line up;

You should have came from Cathie's Blog. If you started at my blog please go back to the beginning to Christine's Blog so you don’t miss any inspiring gift ideas.
My boyfriend's Mom loves the cards I make and I always give them to her after making one for a challenge or a Design Team. So for an early Christmas gift I decided to make a bunch of Christmas cards for her to give to her friends.
I punched out the reindeer with an EK Success punch in glitter cardstock and white cardstock. The background was embossed with the snowflake cuttlebug embossing folder. The 'Merry Christmas' is a sticker I purchased from Pat Catans. It was a whole sheet of them.
I wrapped a ribbon around the center paper, popped up the reindeer and added the googly eye and red rhinestone for his nose.
 I used all different paper from the DCWV Christmas short stack. It's hard to tell from the pictures but I adorned various snowflakes with Stickles so they glitter! Gotta have some Stickles somewhere!
Your next stop on the hop is Vanessa T!!

Veteran's Day Blog Hop!!

Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation in 1954 to change the name to Veterans Day as a way to honor those who served in all American wars. The day honors military veterans with parades and speeches across the nation. A national ceremony takes place at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.

America is the Land of the Free, because of the brave. Veteran’s Day celebrates and acknowledges the service of all United States Military Veterans. Today we honor the brave men and women who have served in the American Military. With great respect, and a heart full of pride, we say a great big THANK YOU to those who have served. Please hop with us as we pay homage to the people who help keep America the Land of the Free.

You should have started at Melissa's Blog. If you did not, please go back and start from the beginning. You don't want to miss any of these fabulous projects!

I bartend Saturday nights at the American Legion Post 170 and we watched the Honor Guard yesterday.Absolutely beautiful! So I made them a card to show our appreciation!

The card is kind of plain, but I didn't want to add too much fuss for it. I thought for this it would be better with it straight to the point!

Your next stop is Camille! Have fun hopping!!

Thankful Blog Hop!!

I am LOVING these blog hops I've been signing up for!! Everyone has been soooo nice and informative!......why didn't I sign up for these a looong time ago?!

If you stumbled upon this hop and didn't start from the beginning, then you want to go to Melanie's blog and start from there. You don't want to miss ANY of these uber fabulous projects, cause let me tell you, they are GREAT!!! This is a 2-day hop and you are on the 2nd day if you are hopping through!

This hop is all about being Thankful! I made this card to give to my boyfriend's mom whose bday was recently.

The gift is from K & Company, the bling and trim are from Recollections. I inked the edges of all my paper including my 'thanks' tag. The tag I just hand-cut after stamping 'thanks' on the paper.

I hope you like my card, but I must say it doesn't even begin to compare to some of the other intricate projects along the hop! So be sure NOT to skip anyone if you can and spread some love to all the designers!

Happy Owl-ween Blog Hop!!!

Hey everyone!!

Thanks for joining me in the Happy Owl-ween 2-day Hop! If you are just visiting and stumbled upon a hop, then start at our wonderful host Susanne's blog! (she has candy too he he he!)

 Hope you are ready to get inspired by some fabulous designers as I'm sure you already are with the previous 3! You are now on stop 4 with little 'ol me and I cannot wait to show you what I have in store.

I made an owl card for halloween using Sure Cuts Alot and my cricut. SCAL is my all time fave software and I use it 90% of the time when cutting with my cricut! I did not record a video for this card due to life as we know it taking over! The time as gotten away from me with some changes going on so I just have a couple of pics.

I used DCWV halloween short stack for the owl and background and orange glitter paper for the scallop. The ribbon is from Michaels $1 bin and the bling is Recollections (my second fave in the world!). I used his eyes as the oo in Boo! for a little play. This was super easy and quick....once I actually sat down and put it all together! I love googly eyes, especially colored ones. Sometimes they just add that missing touch, like inking the edges of your paper, which I did on the card. I popped Mr. Whoo on pop dots for some dimension.

NOW FOR WHAT YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!! BLOG CANDY!!!!!

Yep! I have blog candy to give away to one lucky winner in US/Canada who becomes a follower (also a requirement for the grand prize at Suzanne's blog). Just leave me a comment that you are a follower, or already one and the winner will be chosen by random.org and announced Nov. 1st 

Good luck everyone, keep hopping cause some other designers have blog candy too! Don't forget to leave comments and become followers to win Suzanne's grand prize! Happy hopping and here is your next stop!
