***Giveaway Closed*** Love at First Sight Blog Hop!

Happy Saturday!

I was so excited when Sandra ask me to be a part of her "Love at First Sight" blog hop! There are so many talented blogger's in this hop, I can't wait to see everyone's projects!

If you have arrived here from Joanna's super amazing blog then you are on the right track, if you want to start at the beginning click here to go to Sandra's blog.

This blog hop is to celebrate Sandra's anniversary of when she met her hubby 8 years ago, it was "Love at First Sight", her 7th wedding anniversary, and of course Valentine's Day! She has asked us all to make a love themed gift for someone that we love. We will also be sharing pictures of us with the person we love.

For my project I made my BFF's, Caroline and her hubby Jeff, a banner for their fireplace. Caroline asked me a couple weeks ago if I would make them one and I though that this would be a prefect project for this blog hop.

It say's "Hugs & Kisses". It' hard to see the lighter letters. Have I ever told you how difficult it is to photograph banners... this one was particularly difficult becasue of the colors.

Close-up of the "hugs" side.

Close-up of the "Kisses" side.

The papers  are from K and Company's Valentine's stack and DCWV.

The banner tag was cut from the B is for Boy cart at 5". The hearts were cut from the Doodlecharms cart at 3 1/4". The letters were cut from the Birthday Bath cart at 1 1/2".

 

I used 6" wide pink tulle to string the banner together.

I love how it turned out and Caroline and Jeff love it too! :)

Sandra asked that we include a photo of the person that we love/made our gift for.  This first photo is my BFF, Caroline and her husband, Jeff. We were having dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, China Camp.

 This next one is Caroline and I at Jeff's parents, 50th wedding anniversary party.

 

Here is one of Meaghan(Caroline & Jeff's daughter), Jeff, and I at the same party.

So no blog hop would be complete with out some sort of blog candy!

Skunk Love?

Happy Tuesday!

I have a super quick post for today. I was playing around with one of the card cuts on the new "Life's a Party" cart and I decided that I liked it enough to use, so I cut a additional image and added some ribbon and tada! I love the way that black and white look against red, so that is why I choose to cut a skunk. :)

Papers are from PTI, K and Co, and DCWV.  

The heart shaped card was cut from the Life's a Party cart at 5.37 x 4.18 (used my Gypsy). The skunk was cut from the Live Simply cart at 2 3/4". The inside hearts were cut at 4 3/4" and 4 1/4".

The checkered ribbon measures 1/2", I found it in my stash of ribbon and I added some doodling with my white gel pen.

Thanks so much stopping by... I hope you have a wonderful day!

See you tomorrow!

Simple Kraft Card

Happy Monday!

 I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I was able to spend some fun crafty time with my bestie and my Cricut. I got a few projects finished, that I have been working on and I got to play with a few new carts too.

 

 This card was made with Lacy Labels and Nate's ABCs cart.  I have a thing for elephants right now, so of course I had to try the elephant cut for my 1st cut. :)

 The papers are PTI and DCWV. The Congratulations stamp is from Joyslife.com's, Mother and Daughter Stamps.

 It's really simple but I think it's pretty cute!
