This is a 12X12 lay out I made for my Nephew's Scrap book. The Duck was cut from the Cricut Craft room Basic. If you haven't used Cricut Craftroom, you should give it a try, it free and it has all the cartridges that have been released.


I used two different stamps to make this journaling box. I stamped it all in StazOn Azure ink.


This is a close up of the duck. I cut this twice because there are no layers and I just cut the beak off the orange one. And I used a Googly eye to finish it.

Welcome to the Crafty Cutters Creations Blog Hop! Each Day this week, the wonderful ladies of this group will be showing you one of their creations. Please come back each day this week to see more great projects!!




Today's Hop starts with Barbara at http://leokc34.blogspot.com, please start there!






If you came from Marji's Blog you are in the right place.




 I used the Cricut Cartridge Cuttin' Up and the Cricut Craft Room to make this 5X5 card. My card base is white Card stock cut at 5X10 and scored at 5. The Silver patterned paper is from the paper studio's Classic paper pack, cut at 4 3/4 x 4 3/4. 









After I cut my Sentiment I adhered it with my Zig two-way glue pen. I covered the Silver card stock with Silver Stickles to give it the bling it needed for a Bridal Shower card.


After I cut the cake twice. I cut the cake plate layer in silver and adhered it and covered it with silver Stickles. I also put flat back pearls between the top and bottom tiers and then at the bottom to add some decoration to the cake. 

Here is a closer look at the cake plate covered with stickles.

And here is the inside, I used the silver patterned paper cut at 4 3/4 by 4 3/4 inches. I cut my white mat at 4 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches. I didn't have a good sentiment for a Bridal shower so I just used Congrats and I stamped that in Jet Black StazOn Ink.

Crafty Friends Give Back Day 2

Welcome to the Crafty Friends Who Care blog hop. We are so glad you could join us for Day 2 of this very special hop. We have more fabulous projects for you. But the most important thing about this is to raise awareness about bone marrow donations to help Leukemia patients.

Bone marrow donation technology has come a long way, and is now as simple as giving blood. So we are trying to raise awareness and get people to register at http://marrow.org to be a bone marrow donor. And why are we doing this your might ask? To help a friend a fellow crafter, Liz Decade. Liz is battling 2 different forms of acute Leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. We are hoping that this hop will help her to find a match. You can see her story at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va6RNwYj4BE&list=UUz-JkPSKRldHJNbbEotv8DQ&feature=plcp.

Even if you are not a match for Liz, you can still help her. You see bone marrow registrations drives are expensive, you have to pay for each person who is registered, and Liz is trying to raise money for bone marrow drives and medical expenses (it costs a lot of money to get a transplant). You can donate to Liz at lizquesada.leukemia@gmail.com. All of the money donated will go to bone marrow drives or medical expenses.

And we have some wonderful sponsors who have donated prizes for our hop.
Sweet Stamping Treats Digital Stamps, Trendy Twine, MB Treasurista, Paper Piecings by Nikki, Inspired Stamps, My Pink Stamper, Peachy Keen Stamps and Market Street Stamps have all donated prizes to this hop. In order to be eligible for one of  these prizes you must comment on every blog in this hop! There are other requirements for the sponsors so please see Liz's blog post for more details.


If you are coming fromAmanda's Blog you are on the right track. If you want to start from the beginning please go to Liz's blog (http://decadeofscrap.blogspot.com).








Thank you for stopping by and don’t forget to go to marrow.org and find out how to become a marrow donor. Your next stop is Teresa's Blog

 This is an 8x8 lay out I made of my Parents who have been married for 30 years. I used white cardstock for my base, Red for the back round, and Pink and White patterned paper for the photo mat. I did stitching around the photo and the base layer with a black gel pen. I stamped the Love in black Stazon ink and colored it with shades of pink sharpie markers. I stamped the hearts in black StazOn ink.



 I also added Liquid Pearls to the top corner to add some decoration. This was my first time using them and they are AWESOME!! I have gotten better with them, but it's not bad for a first try I used pink and pearl white.
