Craft Your Passion-GDT-November


Happy Monday crafty friends! Hope your week is getting off to a good start! I am honored to announce that I will be the guest designer for the month of November for the Craft Your Passion Challenge Blog! I want to thank Jenn and her design team for having me! I am very excited to be joining you talented ladies!

This week is Challenge #135 and the theme is HEXAGONS. There are a couple of sponsors for this challenge and the digi stamp that I chose to work with this week is by Stamp Fairy. The cute little image that I worked with is called "Lionel". Love him! Here is my card..
I started with a black cardstock for my card base, then added a piece of burnt orange cardstock. I then stamped the hexagons using a stamp by CTMH. I then added my image that I colored using a variety of Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment "Thank you" and added some polka dot Smash tape. I layered some flowers and added a brad to hold them together and added it on to my card. Last, but not least, I added some bling to finish it off. That's it!

Hope you like my card for today! Please be sure to head over to the Craft Your Passion Challenge Blog and see the other inspiration by the design team and join in this fun challenge!

Enjoy your day!

For Owl You Do

Happy Friday, friends!! The weekend is here! I hope you all have some fun plans for this weekend. I am going to a crop with friends tomorrow..can't wait! I still have to pack so I better make this a short and sweet post so I can get that done! I made a cute little card to share with you using the Happily Ever After Cricut cartridge...

I cut the sweet little owl out at 4 inches and added some Want 2 Scrap gunmetal pearls to her eyes. The doily was white and I inked it up with some pretty pink ink. The twine is by The Twinery. The cute little button is one of ours from Pinque Peacock. I made it to match my card. The ribbon is by 3 Girl JAM. I added some  little pink bling down at the bottom and that's it. I hope you like it!

Card Creating Tuesday-Noel



Hi crafty friends! I hope this post finds you all safe and sound! Today is Card Creating Tuesday over at My Cricut Craft Room. I made a quick and easy card to share with you. Here is is...
I started with red cardstock and folded it for my card base. I then inked all of the edges with Vintage photo Distress Ink and a dauber. My next layer is paper by Echo Park from the Very Merry Christmas collection. I then inked all of the edges of that paper and adhered it to my base.
The next layer is the pretty wreath that I cut using the Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge. I cut it out at 5 inches and then inked the edges and added it to my card. I stamped the word Noel on a piece of matching red cardstock and attached it to my wreath. I added a few Doodlebug Designs buttons and some twine from The Twinery.
That's all for my cute and simple card. I hope you like it! Please be sure to head over to My Cricut Craft Room and see what my design team sisters have made to share with you today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Frankenstein Friday at MCCR!

Hi crafty friends! Hope you are all doing well. Today is my day to post as a My Cricut Craft Room design team member and today is Frankenstein Friday! How fun is that!? I decided to make a 12 x 12 layout for my project today. Here is what I came up with....




I used the Mini Monsters Cricut cartridge for my Frankenstein. I cut him and his layers out at 4 inches then added stickles and g studio glitter glue. The large die cut shape was cut using the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge and I used the "Fit to Page" feature and it cut it at 10.5 inches. The fun patterned papers are all by K&Company. I used punches for the little trick or treat bag and the spider web border strip. The little bling on the corners of my layout are by Want 2 Scrap. Now I can't wait to take some pictures at the Halloween party we are going to this year!


I can't post without mentioning that today is my baby girl's FIRST BIRTHDAY! I can't believe how much she has grown and how fast it has flown by! Here is a picture I took of her napping.


Happy Birthday to Ryelynn Grey! Mommy loves you SO very much!



Hope you like my layout today! Thank you so much for stopping by! Please be sure to stop by My Cricut Craft Room to see what my design team sisters have made to share!

BOO-WYEGW


Hello friends! Hope you all are having a good week. Today is my day to post as a My Cricut Craft Room design team member and today is WYEGW. We had to make a project with either Create a Critter or Create a Critter 2 Cricut cartridge and make something other than the "critter". I chose to use CAC2 and make a Halloween card. Here is what I made....




I started with a green glitter DCWV cardstock for the base of my card. I then added a piece of a cute ghost paper from a Halloween stack I got last year. I used the Create a Critter 2 cartridge to cut the cute haunted house and pop dotted it on to my card. I used DCWV glitter cardstock for the yellow layer. See it sparkle? I cut a small piece of the green glitter paper and added the word "boo" with some black letter stickers. Lastly, I wrapped a piece of The Twinery twine in black around my card and tied a bow. Super easy card!



I hope you like my little Halloween card for today! Thanks so much for stopping by to visit! Please head over to My Cricut Craft Room to see what my talented design team sisters have made to share!

Have a crafty, fun day!

Boo Whoo Blog Hop- MCCR

Welcome to the My Cricut Craft Room's Boo Whoo Blog Hop!


If you just happened to come by to visit please start at the beginning at My Cricut Craft Room

Today we are sharing projects with either a Boo (Halloween) or a Whoo (an owl) or BOTH!  We have a fun and fabulous line up today so you won't want to miss a thing!  Two lucky people that hops all the way through, leaves comments, and is a follower of My Cricut Craft Room~ will one a Cricut cartridge! Erica's Craft Room is sponsoring the Teresa Collins Chic & Scary Cricut cartridge and the Pumpkin Carvings Cricut cartridge. How awesome is that?! 

Here is the 12x12 layout that I made to share with you today.


For my little monsters I used the Mini Monsters Cricut cartridge. It is such a cute cartridge. If you don't have it yet you can purchase that HERE. All of the patterned papers are from a DCWV Halloween stack. I used some DCWV glitter paper and lots of star dust stickles on my little layout today. The little trick or treat saying was cut from a patterned paper.  The fibers I got from Erica. The other misc. pieces are by K & Company. The photos are of Ryelynn, my daughter that was born on Oct. 26, 2011 so she was just 5 days old on Halloween last year. Boy, does time fly! Here are a couple of more photos of my layout.



Then, a while back I went to Goodwill and found this little paper holder thingy for 35 cents.


I thought it  would work really well to hold up a layout to take a picture of it. It was all plain and ugly so I decided to make it cute. Here is what it looks like now...


I used the DCWV Halloween papers for this project, too. The owl I cut out at 6 inches from the CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge. The die cut for the title I cut out at 4 inces and the title letters I cut at 1 inch. (All from Artiste) The other little diecuts are all my K & Company. This was a quick and easy project. I love to find things cheap and make them cuter!! 



That's my projects for today. I hope you like them! Thanks so much for stopping by and hopping today! We all really appreciate it! Hope you have a fantastic weekend!!


Your next stop is the super talented JENN!

owl always love you-tutu owl

Hi friends! It's really late and I am exhausted so this is going to be a short and sweet post! :) I made a cute little card tonight using a digi stamp from Fresh Brewed Designs called tu tu owl. My daughter Gretchen is 4 years old. She loves ballet, owls, and pink so I put all of those together and this is what I came up with.....
The brown cardstock was from my stash, the glittered cardstock is by Core'dinations, and the pink paper was in my scrap pile. The digi stamp is by FBD and the link is up above. The pink ribbon I got from my friend, Erica. The little bling was from my stash. The sentiment stamp is a Darcie's stamp. I colored the owl with my Copics. Oh, and I used my first action wobble! So, my little owl "dances"! Thank you for the wobbles, Jessica! That's it...easy peasy!

Hope you like my cute little card. I think Gretchen is going to love it! Thank you for stopping by to visit! I hope you have a great Friday...it's only a few minutes away!

Hugs,
HL
