I cut all the different snowflakes at 2 inches. I covered the holder on the left with Tim Holtz Tissue Wrap and the one on the left with Tim Holtz Tissue Tape. Added a little bit of stickles and they are done!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome back!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This weeks challenge with <a href="http://just-a-scrappin.blogspot.com/">Just A Scrappin</a> is to </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;">Make a card that is not square or rectangle!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is my take:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijt7SamJg_AyQt_mm5fz-QHuwv3YQOTQXW6alVpMclFEpCxfiz5MzK-fN77jNtSZqxj5VI4PYqgt5Xnz0UM9zkZl3REP2_Q9EcHypqrxSOxUvB4Q5GxmXVMHurj7YN7vsT8f5urNsPogo/s1600/DSCN3002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijt7SamJg_AyQt_mm5fz-QHuwv3YQOTQXW6alVpMclFEpCxfiz5MzK-fN77jNtSZqxj5VI4PYqgt5Xnz0UM9zkZl3REP2_Q9EcHypqrxSOxUvB4Q5GxmXVMHurj7YN7vsT8f5urNsPogo/s320/DSCN3002.JPG" width="255" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I adore the way this turned out. A perfect card for my boyfriend's grandma if you ask me :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is how I did it:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I cut a bell from the Teresa Collins December 25 Cricut Cart (I believe it was about 4inches) and taped it to the top edge of a folded piece of cardstock the color I wanted my card base to be. Make sure you let some of the top of the design hang off to keep part of the fold intact. This is what will hold your front and back together!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Trace around and take the "template" (the blue piece) off.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cut on the lines making sure to leave a little piece of the folded edge of your card intact</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And that it! Super simple!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I used the Teresa Collins December 25 cartridge again for all of the cuts on the front of the card. I added some silver stickles on the Joy to give it more interest. There are also red stickles on the holly berries.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The bottom of the bell is Melisa Frances silver glass glitter. Its super chunky and I love it!</span></div>

Welcome back!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OMG, only 14 more days! I better start my Christmas cards soon!! lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's theme with<a href="http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/"> My Cricut Craft Room</a> is to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Use a Licensed Cartridge!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been trying to stick with a Christmas/Winter theme for this month's projects so Hello Kitty Friends was a perfect choice!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are more gift card holders made for the office craft show using Stampin Up's Top Note Die. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both cricut cuts are cut at 2.5 inches. Pretty small to work with, but my holders were small. Ideally I wish these would have been closer to 3.5 inches to make it easier. The snowman wasn't bad, but hello kitty was lots of little pieces. But of course she came out wonderfully.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoy and this gives you some motivation to pull out the carts you forgot had Christmas stuff on them!! </div>

Welcome back!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week with <a href="http://just-a-scrappin.blogspot.com/">Just A Scrappin</a>' we are doing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">Non-Traditional Christmas Cards</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
no<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> green</span> and no<span style="color: #cc0000;"> red</span>!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Love it! I didn't do a card, I made a gift card holder. Lots of those again this year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8pkgmWBDUNnYjYiJzA2yyPod1lyD80nL-sf7VDqY7a4EB6En6osS_78-d-z8E8ZYtij1L-2SOO9YzVDcdH3OXbxyPb1TYKdZrxZ280-As1L49CgpYI-wa4xqpa8TDenV7XYv5MwQ06bM/s1600/DSCN2973.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8pkgmWBDUNnYjYiJzA2yyPod1lyD80nL-sf7VDqY7a4EB6En6osS_78-d-z8E8ZYtij1L-2SOO9YzVDcdH3OXbxyPb1TYKdZrxZ280-As1L49CgpYI-wa4xqpa8TDenV7XYv5MwQ06bM/s400/DSCN2973.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The base is cut from Stampin' Up's Top Note Die. You fold your paper in half and line is up so that the folded edge is <u>inside</u> the cut line (so it doesn't cut) and you get a cute little folder. Just remember to make a pocket for the inside! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided on a neutral color pallet for my card. The stamps are from Stampin Up, Dasher and Christmas Greetings. I stamped them in Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink and used the same ink to ink the edges of the cream cardstock. The square with Dasher on it is also glimmer misted in Crocheted Doily (though it is hard to see in the picture). I added some brown fiber and ribbon from my stash and a piece of Cappuccino twine. Add 3 dots of gold stickles and we are done!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you join us in this week's challenge!! Have a great weekend</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Angel is from Christmas Noel cut at 2.5 inches. I did both layers white and added diamond stickles to her wings. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had 4 cartridges to use this month. I combined them and made two projects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my first one, I wanted to do something Christmas since it is right around the corner</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8iPOa8f_Fu92wQEixkE4_JYZ33KCBLYt0FiSBDxJzJmSwAnNvxzDaCrR2fSVH99Xf7lwbtpGzlb-cPyjdkYYKMXXJn64d6ZKUKfDJn999t6AFSWy89CZIYgGhpOHLTAXgQ8LuwUa7Zv0/s1600/DSCN2971.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8iPOa8f_Fu92wQEixkE4_JYZ33KCBLYt0FiSBDxJzJmSwAnNvxzDaCrR2fSVH99Xf7lwbtpGzlb-cPyjdkYYKMXXJn64d6ZKUKfDJn999t6AFSWy89CZIYgGhpOHLTAXgQ8LuwUa7Zv0/s320/DSCN2971.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Teresa Collins Sophisticated</span> and <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Gingerbread</span> for this project. The scallop border is from Sophisticated (page 44, cut at 1 inch), the swirl is also from the same cartridge (cut at 2 inches). The wreath is from Gingerbread cut at 2.5 inches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added stickles in xmas red, green, gold and diamond to decorate my wreath. The paper is from last year's (I think) DCWV christmas mat stack.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my other project I still needed some birthday cards so that is what I worked on!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Pretty Pennants</span> and <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Celebrate with Flourish</span> for this project.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pennants are cut from Pretty Pennants at 2 inches for the small ones and 3 inches for the large middle one. The happy birthday is from Celebrate with Flourish and was cut at 2.5 inches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I ran the middle pennant through a cuttlebug folder and sanded the raised area. The pattern paper is from Echo Park - A Walk In The Park 6x6 paper pack. I inked everything in Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink in Pink Cheeks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well I hope that inspires you to get out your cricut and start creating!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Welcome back!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week over at <a href="http://just-a-scrappin.blogspot.com/">Just a Scrappin'</a>, our challenge is:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">VACATION!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">add 3 buttons and at least one ribbon</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think beach when I think vacation. How about you?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love this (discontinued) paperline from Quick Quotes for my vacation pictures. I used it <a href="http://enchantress2614.blogspot.com/2012/01/2-page-layout.html">here</a> as well. And I pulled out a (discontinued - Seaside) stamp set from Stampin Up to go with my beach theme.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVfmMku5_79h0bMudqPVqSKXOv2PYYRFI_HkqaDyxBN_sGo6vLk38mkoE3FZMv2WL6apNScjy1pVwyxpXtHPWbgUrt_uX5_2ButXI5inPQ0b8Dm3ILpJAmDlMzlMNIKF_9RhgIq9GSa30/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVfmMku5_79h0bMudqPVqSKXOv2PYYRFI_HkqaDyxBN_sGo6vLk38mkoE3FZMv2WL6apNScjy1pVwyxpXtHPWbgUrt_uX5_2ButXI5inPQ0b8Dm3ILpJAmDlMzlMNIKF_9RhgIq9GSa30/s320/photo.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I inked my stamps with Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink in Tahiti and stamped right on the pattern paper. I also inked the edges of all my paper layers with Tahiti. I added the Thank You sentiment and punched it out. I added Caribbean twine and buttons from my stash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you like my vacation thank you card and join us for this week's challenge!!</div>

Hello everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend and black friday shopping! I know I did! New 55' TV downstairs to prove it. I think my boyfriend is in love. LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month's challenge over at <a href="http://www.blogquickquotes.com/">Quick Quotes</a> was to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.blogquickquotes.com/2012/11/friday-challenge-21.html">Make a page with a black and white photo</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I almost missed entering this one as the deadline is today. I knew exactly what I wanted to do when I read the challenge so I took some time today and worked on a page very close to my heart</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still look at some paper and think to myself "Grandma would have loved this line" and that was my first thought with this <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Cherry-Truffle-Paper-Pack-p/mp38.htm">Cherry Truffle</a> line from <a href="http://www.blogquickquotes.com/">Quick Quotes</a>. </div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I inked everything in <a href="http://www.blogquickquotes.com/">Quick Quotes</a> Powder Puff Ink in <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Bloody-Mary-PowderPuff-Chalking-Inks-p/pow6.htm">Bloody Mary</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Teresa Collins Sophisticated Cricut Cart to cut the "Remember When"</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just love this <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Whismical-Tree-Chipboard-p/dc22.htm">chipboard tree</a>, also from <a href="http://www.blogquickquotes.com/">Quick Quotes</a>. I thought it pulled together the page perfectly and didn't embellish it any more than just adding a bow of Cappuccino Twine around the trunk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoy the page and check <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Whismical-Tree-Chipboard-p/dc22.htm">Quick Quotes</a> next week to see what next month's challenge will be!!</div>

Today with <a href="http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/">My Cricut Craft Room</a>, our theme was past Christmas mornings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I pulled out a DCWV christmas stack (I have 3 of them so I am not sure which year this one is from) and I saw this LOVE piece that I knew I wanted to use. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went through the past 3 years of Christmas photos and found that this is the ONLY picture of both my boyfriend and I on a Christmas day. So sad. So I have made sure to tell him we must get a picture of the two of us on Christmas morning this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used Gingerbread to make my garland. They are all cut at 2inches. I love making the little guy and girl hold hands :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add some twine (in Maraschino and Peapod) and that was it! I love how this turned out and how quick and easy it was! This will be the front page in a Christmas album. I think I am going to do all my Christmas photos in one year arranged by year.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a craft card base and found some pattern paper from my stash. I have been trying to use up scraps lately. This was left over from a layout I did long ago. I cut a small square and used a ruler and brown marker to give it a frame.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Celebrate with Flourish, my new and current favorite, cricut cartridge! The turkey is cut at 2.5 inches. Then I added some platinum stickles in the corner to draw your eye there even more.</div>

Today we had to use a teddy bear that was a feature button on a cartridge. I found mine on Everyday Paper Dolls. I cut it at 2.5 inches. *you must have real dile size on to get actual 2.5 inches*</div>

Welcome back!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is that time of week again. Time for a new challenge from <a href="http://just-a-scrappin.blogspot.com/">Just A Scrappin'</a>!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week it is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">SHOW US YOUR STRIPES</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Any theme, but use autumn colors!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought back to <a href="http://enchantress2614.blogspot.com/2012/08/signs-of-full-leaves-with-just-scrappin.html">this card</a> I did and how much I love this paper line by Quick Quotes (sorry, its discontinued). It is perfect autumn colors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW12NMqzhHXLKccgW9IViDeMTGOM_LHIx7JcbNFR2P7TziVILdISlvz7wczJ0Axvzw_86d8-tBFvYV2X463LtevupO0A2AMws8cAo9_RieCh25zHdH8ztKq_JqOYsaM67WXIOsaxc4glg/s1600/DSCN2913.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW12NMqzhHXLKccgW9IViDeMTGOM_LHIx7JcbNFR2P7TziVILdISlvz7wczJ0Axvzw_86d8-tBFvYV2X463LtevupO0A2AMws8cAo9_RieCh25zHdH8ztKq_JqOYsaM67WXIOsaxc4glg/s320/DSCN2913.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tore a piece of stripe paper and added it to the brown card. I cut the sentiment from another sheet from this line and wrapped Cappuccino twine around it. I fussy cut some leaves from another pattern from this line and added them in a diagonal pattern.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqdcfQkRj4CRU8MYNDXuJa3qaQNcaNdrbfDLdKZ0Plhfeuf5WIj8pVXULita_wtKOaiD7vdbq3I3t8DCyWUnfyvjpuiG-YlCMelsYfs2pRBMeya2DKwijPUvm6vm7U4d_NgHq4H_B8o6w/s1600/DSCN2914.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqdcfQkRj4CRU8MYNDXuJa3qaQNcaNdrbfDLdKZ0Plhfeuf5WIj8pVXULita_wtKOaiD7vdbq3I3t8DCyWUnfyvjpuiG-YlCMelsYfs2pRBMeya2DKwijPUvm6vm7U4d_NgHq4H_B8o6w/s320/DSCN2914.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here you can see the dimension the pop dots give it. I like to pop-dot things I am gluing with twine or over twine so that the paper doesn't end up with creases in it or it looking uneven. I also inked the edges of all the paper in Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink in Biscotti. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The challenge this week at <a href="http://just-a-scrappin.blogspot.com/">Just A Scrappin</a> is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">HALLOWEEN!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Show us what you made yesterday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a quick and simple card I did</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlJ7oSDGBaOWp3N_dcqVB7cBMEYvxYMrHL9b1gSOZ2uh_KGF6ihCilb2i1-EdS9y08xO__AxE9Y3_GqLhS7jtqJuQTKFYttgV5DQJ95fBFfn6uOG8XEOuEKebH6dt8YF0Ogk1V1aqYD7I/s1600/DSCN2905.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlJ7oSDGBaOWp3N_dcqVB7cBMEYvxYMrHL9b1gSOZ2uh_KGF6ihCilb2i1-EdS9y08xO__AxE9Y3_GqLhS7jtqJuQTKFYttgV5DQJ95fBFfn6uOG8XEOuEKebH6dt8YF0Ogk1V1aqYD7I/s320/DSCN2905.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a 6x6 paper pad I have. I love those to make cards from since the patterns tend to be smaller than the 12x12 packs. And everything is already coordinated for you!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQZSPPhF5ZfCBkDKqyMmn9yqZG5gBT60GO88vXx28H1sUMJuJeddEzzWSe2zrB9AmW5I07eDZ99oQ3woJq-5aJIfiJwJLbVs3Bcgf2iWrUuVI7ZHNrWRO8LLDKhrULD21wVFMLvtv9mok/s1600/DSCN2906.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQZSPPhF5ZfCBkDKqyMmn9yqZG5gBT60GO88vXx28H1sUMJuJeddEzzWSe2zrB9AmW5I07eDZ99oQ3woJq-5aJIfiJwJLbVs3Bcgf2iWrUuVI7ZHNrWRO8LLDKhrULD21wVFMLvtv9mok/s320/DSCN2906.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The stamp is a retired set from Stampin Up! I used Quick Quotes Powder Puff Inks in midnight confession to ink the stamp and the edges of my paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Twinery twine colors are Charcoal and Cappuccino.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The stripe section and the skull section are pop dotted above the rest of the card to add some dimension. I added some stickles (LOVE that stuff!) and I was done!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you like my card and join us this week at <a href="http://just-a-scrappin.blogspot.com/">Just A Scrappin</a>!</div>

I think this would be a really cute birthday card for a girl or an adorable card to send to your daughter away at college. OSU of course! lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with my scarlet and gray twine, also known as Maraschino and Stone. And a fork</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wrapped the twine around the fork, I think 5 or 6 times in this case</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Welcome to September!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I haven't done much crafting for the month of August so its time to get back in the swing of things for this month! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First I want to share this month's goals:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e06666;">2 Design Team Projects</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">5 cards</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f6b26b;">8 2-page layouts</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
15 items for this month! On top of that, I enrolled for 2 classes in college this semester! I am going back for my Associates in Graphic Design right now, then hopefully on to a Bachelor's. Wish me luck!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On to share a cute and simple card today. Thank you cards always seem to be needed for something. So I still had some pinwheels for a card I did a little ways back so I added them to a black base and cut Thanks with my Cricut. Added some bling and this was so quick and easy, I love it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I hope I inspire you to set your own crafting goals and work to meet them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check back on Thursday for Just A Scrappin's next challenge! </div>

Hey everyone! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This weeks challenge at Just A Scrappin is </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Signs of Full Leaves - No brown and add some brads</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is harder than I thought it would be! I am so glad Quick Quotes sent me some leaf chipboard. Since that was brown, I sprayed it with some gold glimmer mist. I added some peadpod twine behind the cutout and brads from my stash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Welcome back for my last guest designer post with <a href="http://www.blogquickquotes.com/">Quick Quotes</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I saw that <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/default.asp">Quick Quotes</a> was coming out with a Halloween line I crossed my fingers that I would get some to play with and sure enough when I opened my box there it was! Halloween is my birthday so I tend to scrap any birthday pictures on Halloween paper but I did happen to have some costume pictures waiting to be scrapbooked from a couple years back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKYEACDn9Y3EF7u3WuNCAJbnO2qdLUGMvqRKKWzAviFbtFsXAEU2E99OMhqMMn9kiSDK4rctw7smuHQGHK980M2HTi4H3w7BIngYddHteX_o5DLywb530y6nSplogT2cGbAsTyuQxdNRI/s400/DSCN2388.JPG" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the great patterns in this line. Even if you are not into Halloween, the pattern paper alone could really be used for any event. But I of course went all out! The black and white polka dot paper is just begging to be inked. I love that you ink it and the white dots really show the colors. I used <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Midnight-Confessions-PowderPuff-Chalking-Inks-p/pow1.htm">Midnight Confession</a>, <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Purple-Passion-PowderPuff-Chalking-Inks-p/pow12.htm">Purple Passion</a> and <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Limeade-PowderPuff-Chalking-Inks-p/pow19.htm">Limeade</a>.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this velum quote as a title. I layered it on some pattern paper. I cut out a piece of the same pattern paper and fussy cut the chevron pattern to help hold the velum quote down without seeing the glue. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since I was a vampire this Halloween, I had to use this Blood Donors Needed element. One of the sheets from this line has a whole list of cute word-play jokes. I cut out all the vampire ones and made this into a pocket.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I added some twine around the end so they were easier to pull out and see the answer to the joke.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This spider web and 3 spiders (2 here and 1 on the other page shown earlier) are also new from Quick Quotes. I just pulled them out of the package and put them on the page! So easy! </div>

If you have been watching the new releases from Quick Quotes, you have seen this wonderful line called Just Because. I love that there are so many bright colors in this paper!</div>

The Star-burst paper really stuck in my head so I knew I had to do something with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took 2 of the same star-burst paper used half of
each so that I had 2 "corners" where the burst starts from. I wanted to
make it look like the star-burst was coming from the side of the paper
instead of at the bottom as the paper was designed. </div>

I inked everything in <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Mango-Mai-Tai-PowderPuff-Chalking-Inks-p/pow5.htm">Mango Mai Tai</a> and added it to a orange 12x12 paper from my stash. The lime green mat behind this picture (of me and my boyfriend from our Chicago trip a couple weeks ago. We are infront of the "bean" at Millennium Park) is also one of the papers from the Just Because line.</div>

These are <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Fun-Flowers-Bag-o-Chips-p/em73.htm">Quick Quotes Fun Flowers</a> that I actually took out of another page kit I had on hand from Quick Quotes (<a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Summertime-2-Page-Kit-p/dp298.htm">Summer Time</a>) so they were white to start with, but you can get just the chipboard flowers too. I colored them with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Quick-Quotes-PowderPuff-Chalking-Ink-Set-12-Pack-p/pow13.htm">Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink</a> in (from right to left) Maraschino Cherry, Blue Hawaiian, Mango Mai Tai, Very Berry and Limeade.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This velum "<a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Fabulous-Vacation-Vellum-Strip-p/t36.htm">Fabulous Vacation</a>" was just perfect. I layered it to an element from the Just Because line and added a <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Adhesive-Backed-Glitter-Diecuts-JT-p/em55.htm">glittered chipboard bracket</a>, also from Quick Quotes. You can see the other part of it on the left side of my pictured. I inked everything in Mai Tai.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For my last element, I took a circle and wrapped it in stripes of a velum quote. I inked it with Very Berry, Blue Hawaiian and Mango Mai Tai to match the page. The ribbon is also from the Summer Time kit I opened earlier. I layered it to more of the lime green paper and added my notes. I plan on making a second page for this layout that will have more journaling.</div>

I hope you enjoyed my take on Just Because! </div>

Welcome back to same card 2 ways!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was working on more Thank you cards. I wanted what I would consider clean and simple. I have been loving working with craft lately so I pulled some of that out. I haven't used my Stampin Up Medallion stamp in a while so I got that out too. Here is what came out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped right on the craft with Stampin Up Cranberry Crisp. The thanks is SEI stickers from my stash. I added some Cappuccino Twinery twine and I thought it was exactly what I wanted. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0wUcMWrGU3cWb4RBXUUE4W8mDogYzaLOB5LBbTXFNAYXb8K78ZDwPn1jyLi1re6TbBmMTfByoe0IRPJStc85ft1B4TFBfalITQq27Baes_jreqirk47mcEM-yIS0ity0Zzk1WVHe2s84/s1600/DSCN2050.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0wUcMWrGU3cWb4RBXUUE4W8mDogYzaLOB5LBbTXFNAYXb8K78ZDwPn1jyLi1re6TbBmMTfByoe0IRPJStc85ft1B4TFBfalITQq27Baes_jreqirk47mcEM-yIS0ity0Zzk1WVHe2s84/s320/DSCN2050.JPG" width="250" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So again I wanted to turn one into a birthday card. I didn't have any other letter stickers I thought would work so I used this cute sentiment from a Stampin Up set called Bring on the Cake. I stamped it on a cranberry piece, tore the bottom and added a couple layers of twine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love that medallion stamp! It really doesn't need too much more embellishment to look lovely!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hope everyone is having a good week so far! I am now in Tennessee enjoying some vacation time with my boyfriend and his family. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes when I make a card, I thought it was so cute/easy/fun I want to make another just like it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So today, I am going to show you the way I took the same design card and make it for 2 occasions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I saw the original design in a card magazine from a couple months ago and tucked it away as something I wanted to re-create. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMj3BEeMKXzSbAFZCwas-IlQY1I3HMWXTt_jjYvRyDcvHwUEVAQXgMvoksr095LAzkZXJPmrRmlx0OHZZ0uY9RkqcmoaCGB4kFIgWtrXAXs7lK4YGyBZyG5lyk9fjJTCQHwrF-Ygc6r54/s320/DSCN2047.JPG" width="261" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first one started as a Thank You card. I have been getting requests for these at work lately. The glitter paper is from <a href="http://www.shopsei.com/">SEI</a> that I have had forever. The twine is of course from the <a href="http://www.thetwinery.com/">Twinery</a>, in Charcoal. The sentiment is from a <a href="http://unitystampco.com/default.aspx">Unity</a>/Jillibean Soup set called Apple Cheddar Soup.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv2ldRPCmLuuwXLKu80Gv3bLvoD2TEDJKH2OcVLBgbz0rzXliGIi6kYbv0KyBAz-0cpG_fp6YUeZvFNsosvk58NCZ5obGlkIKsrIYHHkj3EcdRwjmBar6HHSyLvUAn4DG9Q13mF3MO7bA/s1600/DSCN2048.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv2ldRPCmLuuwXLKu80Gv3bLvoD2TEDJKH2OcVLBgbz0rzXliGIi6kYbv0KyBAz-0cpG_fp6YUeZvFNsosvk58NCZ5obGlkIKsrIYHHkj3EcdRwjmBar6HHSyLvUAn4DG9Q13mF3MO7bA/s320/DSCN2048.JPG" width="257" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since I need so many birthday cards, I also wanted to make this into a birthday card. The sentiment I wanted to use, from <a href="http://www.closetomyheart.com/">Close to My Heart</a>, is bigger than the thank you. So I stamped in on another panel and moved the placement. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I inked the edges of everything with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/Default.asp">Quick Quotes</a> powder puff ink in Maraschino Cherry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
