Spring Bloghop

Operation Write Home

Bunny Hop Bloghop!

Hello Everyone & Welcome to Operation Write Homes' Bunny Hop Bloghop! I'm super excited to be participating and I know you'll have fun along the way. This isn't the first stop so if you are just joining us you'll want to go back to the beginning at OWH Stars and Stamps Blog because you do not want to miss out on any of the FUN!

If you've arrived here from the very talented Nancy at Scrap Happens, then you are certainly heading in the right direction! I love her bright and Cherry card! :) Oh and I'm jealous that she's at Hobby Lobby today - we don't have them here in California.

For the Bloghop, we were asked to make a Spring card. I took this literally and you can see exactly why in my video. I hope you join us in making Spring themed cards for OWH. The Easter deadline is March 18th with Mother's Day following right behind on March 31st. Please make sure your cards arrive by these deadlines so that they can be mailed promptly to our troops. I also invite you to visit the Hero Blog and read the many entries there from Heroes far away. They really do appreciate all the love and care put into each card.

Sweet as a Gumdrop...

Double Display Card

As I was blog hopping Friday night I came across this amazing card over at Sweet as a Gumdrop. I knew I had to try it as soon as I saw it. Brenda's card is so beautiful so please click on her blog and check it out.

Sweet as a Gumdrop

For this project I used my Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge, Heidi Grace Designer paper, AWI Action Wobble, Grosgrain ribbon, rhinestones, Chocolate brown cardstock, CTMH stamp set D1242 Doodle Alphabet and Stampin' up Whisper white ink.

I wanted to use a brown and white pattern paper to go with the Designer paper but I couldn't find one I liked. So, I took out my CTMH stamps and made my own.

This little bird, perched on her little branch is attached with an Action Wobble. The effect is SO CUTE!!! To order Action Wobbles visit their site here.

Thank you for visiting my blog!

My Creative Time - Throwback Thursday

Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge

For this challenge Emma wanted us to use either the "Paper Doll Dress Up" OR "Everyday Paper Doll" cartridge and the project MUST include either heat or dry embossing on it!

For my project I decided to use the Everyday Paper Doll cartridge to make a A2 size card. I enlarged the hand cuffs from the policeman accessories to 3 1/4" and shadowed it with a 3 1/2" layer. I cut and embossed a tag layer at 3 3/4" and shadowed it with a 4" layer. The hearts are cut at 3/4" and 1 1/4" and the sentiment "Your Heart Belongs to Me" is from My Creative Time's new stamp set:

"You had me at Chocolate ".

~Here's my Card!~

Thanksgiving Gift idea

Treat Basket

The Cricut Chick has this project listed on her Facebook photo wall which you can see here. I loved the idea and thought it would be really fun to make for Thanksgiving; however, this would be a fun project for any holiday or celebration.

Step 1: Score a 12"x12" piece of cardstock at 4" and 8" on each side. Score the outside corners on the diagonal. Cut 3 3/4" square pieces of patter paper for each section and cut diagonally for each corner. Add embellishments on the 4 solid squares.
