It's My Party Blog Hop!!

Welcome, welcome!! I'm so glad that you joined us for Alex's It's My Party Hop! I was so honored and excited when she asked me to be a part of the hop - thanks, Alex! :)

You should be coming from fabulous Scrappin_3deeschik - thanks Meighen for another great project! If you have lost your way you can always return to the beginning at You Had Me at Craft.

My projects today are re-usable buffet labels. I use the rectangular "top-note" cut from Lacy Labels to make the base and 2 layers. I used my gypsy to size them so the blown layer is a thin frame around the center section. The base layer is 3"x 2.41", brown layer is 2.66" x 2.14" and the center is 2.55" x 2.05". I inked both of the cream layers.


Next I used a Purple Cow laminator on all of the cards - I cut them out, leaving a thin border of the laminate. I love that little machine!

I wanted to show you a few options on how you could use them. The top 2 pictures show clear address labels and the bottom 2 are dry erase markers. Since the cards are laminated you can remove the labels or erase the marker and use them over and over.

I found the gold ornament photo/place card holders at Michael's after Christmas for $1.65 (6 of them) - what a steal. They are a little on the formal side so I went hunting for something for colorful and fun... then I found these little cuties! The Matryoska dolls (or Russian nesting dolls) are from Cost Plus World Market - I am giving away a set of them away as my blog candy! Just leave me a comment and a way to get a hold of you if you win. :)


Thank you for visiting me today - I hope that you are learning lots of new ways to use paper crafting for your next party! The next stop on the hop is the wonderful Nicole at Canadian Nickel Scrap'n.

Festive {{{ HUGS }}}!

Terrific Tuesday Challenges w/Scrappy Moms!

Hello, everyone! Today I'm showing a card that I made for the very 1st Terrific Tuesday Challenge. These are a bi-monthly Cricut cartridges specific challenge - hopefully, they will challenge and inspire you to use some of your "forgotten" cartridge. And, of course, we hope you have a great time playing along!

The cartridge chosen for this 1st week was Birthday Bash - so I decided to use this little doggie. In fact, he is the reason I had to break down and buy this cart - I love him so much!


The postage stamps is from Gypsy Wanderings but I did see that after my card was done that there is a postage stamp shaped card cut on Birthday Bash! Oh, well... maybe next time! LOL

The sentiment is from our Scrappy Moms Designers Choice stamp set - I think it matches perfectly! :)

Scrappy Moms Stamps will be doing a monthly drawing consisting of all the entries from both Terrific Tuesday Challenges. This month we will be giving away a brand-new, soon-to-be-released Valentines stamp set. Watch for sneak peeks from our design team soon. :)

Let's Celebrate Blog Hop!

HAPPY, HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! Welcome to 2011 - I hope everyone has a happy, healthy and CREATIVE year! :)

Thank you for joining me from Mary at Cardztv - isn't she fabulous!?
I was so excited when Joanna asked me to help celebrate her birthday month and blogaversary in the blog hop - THANKS JOANNA! :)

I have a layout to show you today. This is my oldest daughter's 9th birthday party...




All of the icons on the bottom are cut from Slumber Party, the "Top Note" is cut from Gypsy Wanderings, and the title is cut from Cursive 101 and welded on my Gypsy. I used a heart and butterfly icon stamp and Versamark ink to make watermark images on the left and right top sections of the layout - if you look hard you can see them. I'm not sure I like them - I pictured it differently but it's done! LOL (Please excuse the bad pictures - I was trying to finish this post while we have family visiting and didn't have time to do a lot of prep work.)
For blog candy today I am giving away your choice of Scrappy Moms Stamps sets. Just leave me a comment and a way to get a hold of you if you win. Also - I'd love to hear if you have a favorite New Years Eve memory. :)
