Design Team Day!

Hi there! Today is my day to post over at Connie Can Crop's blog =)

We had an amazing sponsor this month for Connie's blog hop last week! Betsy Flot is giving one of  her awesome book's, Progressions of Expressions Volume 2.


For my project today, I created a simple, yet pretty (well I think so anyway! lol) Christmas card. 



I have a ton of blank card bases in my stash and I need to use them up! I added a piece of shimmer recollections navy card stock to the base, which I embossed using a cuttlebug folder (not sure of the name?) Then, using DS, I cut out the snowflake (from When its Cold Outside)  and I made the band around the card. I added one of Connies enamel dots to the center of my flake (you can find the link for them HERE!) I took a saying from Betsey Flot's book and used the pen/writing feature on the explore to write on the inside. 


Don't forget to check out Connie's monthly Challenge!

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop ~ Day 12


Welcome to the 12 days of Christmas blog hop hosted by Lisa from Honey Bearz Designs! This hop will run from 11/24-12/5 and will be full of fun Christmas ideas and inspiration to get you ready for the holiday season! Such an awesome way to get you inspired to make some holiday cards or finish up some layouts, maybe even some Christmas decor! Sit back and join us for all 12 days and be inspired! There will be a new project each day from all of us with a guest designer helping us out too!

I am so sad we have come to an end!! I always enjoy this hop! Lisa does such an amazing job getting all of these wonderful crafty ladies together to create fantastic projects!! And the prizes?! WOW! Each and every one of them is phenomenal! 




I created this fun garden flag for our front yard! I had some blank flags laying around, and found these adorable elf legs in an svg group I am in on Facebook. I separated the legs, added my last name and put it all together! I am still learning how to use my explore and get the sizes down. I wanted the legs bigger but messed up a bit so I added the huge bow! Now, I just need it to stop raining here in South Florida so I can put it out! (not sure how the bow will hold up outside?!) 


I have my own blog candy I am offering at the end of this hop! Just comment each day on my projects and become a follower (if you aren't already!) I will announce the winner December 7th!

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop ~ Day 11

There will be a new project each day from all of us with a guest designer helping us out too!


I got to play with my new Explore for this project!! I will be honest, I was so frustrated...couldn't get the print/cut feature to work at first! A little troubleshooting with Cricut customer service did the trick though ;) I can't wait to really have some time to play! 

I am making these treat bags for each staff at my boys school. We really have the best teachers, admin, lunch crew and custodians!! I'm figuring I have to make about 85 of these so I needed quick and easy! I found a great Hershey Kiss printable for the bottoms (you can find the link at Connie Can Crop's blog for our Freebie Friday!) 

Supplies ~ 
Echo Park Holly Jolly Christmas cardstock
Close to my Heart white cardstock
Close to my Heart Cranberry ink
Jaded Blossom mini tag
Cricut Enjoy the Seasons Top Hat Snowman printable
TONS of Hershey Kisses! 

I have my own blog candy I am offering at the end of this hop! Just comment each day on my projects and become a follower (if you aren't already!) I will announce the winner December 7th!
