Joyful Stars June Blog Hop

Happy June!! I am participating in Joyful Stars Blog Hop and I am so happy to have you here! You probably hopped on over from Andrea, thank you for visiting!

This month I made a birthday card using paper from the Close to My Heart Lollydoodle collection (I just love it!) and some White Daisy Cardstock for the base.

Die cuts are cut from the CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge using the Birthday collection stamp set (bundled with the cartridge). This stamp set is probably my most used in my collection. My definite go to for card making!

I embellished with CTMH Teal Shimmer trim on bottom.

CTMH Ink used: Lagoon, Hollyhock, Sunset, Pear, Black

I hope this inspired you to make a birthday card for someone today!


Now hop on over to Nancy to check out her awesome project!! If you get lost in the hop, I have a full list at the bottom of this post.

Happy Crafting!

May Blog Hop & Giveaway!

WELCOME CRAFTERS!! 

This is the first time I am participating in Joyful Stars Blog Hop and I am so happy to have you here! You probably hopped on over from Crystal, thank you for visiting!

Here is my creation for National Scrapbooking Month and the May Blog Hop! 

I created a one page scrapbook layout. It was easy peasy! 

Supplies:
Paper: CTMH FREE TO BE ME Paper Collection (CTMH special this month!) 
Diecuts: CTMH Artiste and Artbooking Cricut Cartridges

Quick tip: After cutting the die cuts in white paper, I sponged color on them to match the background colors, a great way to use your ink when you don't have the matching cardstock color.

Check out the final page below. If you are interested in any products, please head over to my CTMH Online Store.

 

GIVEAWAY TIME!

{Password Journal}

Hello Crafters!

Did you ever make a project out of necessity? 

That is exactly the reason I created this PASSWORD JOURNAL!

I am almost... Well, let's just say my memory isn't like it was years ago and I have at least a BILLION Passwords!! Ok, not a billion but close!

The journal is 3 3/4" x 3 3/4", just the perfect size to keep right by my computer.

I used the Close to My Home Artiste Cricut Cartridge along with the die cut book cover that came with the kit. I also found the fancy frame and keyhole on that cartridge (funny what you find when you really take the time to look!).

For the back cover, I just cut a piece of chipboard that was the back cover of a paper pack (don't ever throw those out!). I added some velum, welded the "PASSWORDS" into a tag shape. Lastly, I took the cover shape and cut out a mat full of pages (9 fit perfectly). 

The entire book took about 30 minutes! It really turned out cute AND I now have a cute book to keep all my secret passwords! 

Happy Craftin'!
