Be My Valentine Blog Hop

Hello everyone and welcome to the "Be My Valentine" blog hop!! This is the first blog hop that I have had the opportunity to participate in and I've had so much fun!   If you arrived here from Macy Bella Designs then you're on the right track. If not or if you have missed a few blogs along the way, be sure to go to the beginning at Creations With Kathryn so you can see all of the great Valentine projects today!! There are even some blogs that have blog candy - (like ME!)  After you check out my project, your next stop will be Crafty Baskets .
Now, on to my project!! I made a box to put a set of Valentine's cards in. I used a 12x12 piece of double-sided cardstock from K and Co. The cards are made with Kraft paper and are a 4x4 size. I used the Cricut Sentimentals cartridge for the postage stamp cut on the front of each card and used my Gypsy to cut them so I could unlink the H and W so it would be 3.75" square. The valentine cuts for the front of the cards are from the Love Struck seasonal cartridge. Some stickles and sticker gems added some much needed bling!









MY BLOG CANDY!!!
A Feb/Mar '08 issue of Paper Trends Magazine (brand new with lots of Valentine ideas)
An Elsie Recipe Idea Box with 100 idea cards
All you need to do to have a chance to win is to leave me a comment on this post! I would love it if you would follow me too but only if you want to - not required for a chance to win! In your comment, please leave a way for me to get in touch with you. I will draw a winner on Monday, Jan. 10th!

Thanks for hopping by today!

Think Spring Blog Hop

                                Welcome to the THINK SPRING BLOG HOP!!  You should have arrived here from the amazingly talented  Crafty Baskets  !  If you just happened upon my blog, be sure to go back to the beginning at  Creations With Kathryn  . She is our wonderful host for this hop!  On to my project: I decided to make a Spring mini album to showcase a few pictures that I took at the Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, TX.  What is more telling of Spring than flowers?!   I used the Card/Tag feature on the Paisley Cricut cartridge and used paper from the DCWV Spring cardstack. (I think this stack was from last year or maybe even the year before! :-) I'm just finally using it! )  The paper flowers throughout are from the 3 Birds Pretty Petals collection.  Read to the end of this post to find the link for the next blog to hop to and for my blog candy! This is a pic of an open page. Now for my blog candy!!  Just leave me a comment on this post with a way to contact you -
