BLOG HOP!

Welcome to our Blog Hop!  So happy you hopped by!!
If you didn't hop here from Theresa's blog, CLICK HERE to start the hop at the beginning.  For a complete list of everyone in the hop, see a list of links at the bottom of this post.

MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE A COMMENT ON EVERY POST IN THE BLOG HOP!  EACH BLOG WILL BE GIVING AWAY A PRIZE!

For my project, I decided to make an Accordion Mini Album.  This is a very easy album to make.  You do not need anything special really except your imagination and mojo.

I used a Cricut for my cuts, but you can decorate an album like this any way you like.
  • Start off with 2 pieces of  8 1/2" x 11" cardstock.
  • Cut each piece in half @5 1/2" so that you have four pieces of cardstock measuring 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".
  • Score each piece in the middle at 4 1/4".  Fold all pieces and give good creases.
  • Unfold each piece.
  • You will adhere the pieces together to form an accordion fold or "mountain and valley". 
  • For example, half of one piece will overlap half of the added adhered piece entirely.
  • You can add pattern paper, pockets, tags, ribbons, flowers.... anything you want to decorate your mini album!
Here is Halloween Album #1




And here is a second one I made with the same theme:




I used the Cricut to make the die cuts and tags, and this was so fun to make!

Please make sure you leave a comment on every blog along the hop.  Each of the blogs will be drawing a winner from their comments on their blog hop post for a prize. My prize is one of the Mini Accordion Albums shown above, so be sure to leave a comment here!!  Thanks for stopping by!

TRICK OR TREAT.... GIVE ME SOMETHING GOOD TO EAT

Hey!  I have a quick post for you.  Here's a card I made today with PAPER DOLL DRESS UP!  I used the "tent" fold on this one.  The fold is at the top instead of the side, but it's still an A2 size card.  Unfolded the card measures 4 1/4" x 11".  Folded it's 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

Here is a side view so you can see what I mean:
I faux stitched around the moon and the black card base.  The other faux stitching on the background paper just came that way.

The background paper is from a Target Halloween pack with only 8 sheets of different Halloweeny patterns I got for $1.  Some of the papers (like this one) has shiny parts on them.  It's cut @ 5 1/4" x 4".

The sentiment "give me something good to eat!" was cut from another one of the papers in the pack.

Happy Moon is from page 53 on PDDU cut @ 3 1/2" Real Dial Size.

The Trick or Treat bag is on page 52 cut @ 2 1/2" Read Dial Size.  It cuts lines for the letters and I just went over that with a black sharpie.

ENJOY!

Don't forget the FALL BLOG HOP tomorrow starting at 8 in the morning EST.  Lots of prizes!  Make sure you leave a comment on my blog post!

CRICUT SEARCH SITE!!!


You can grab their button from their site (HTML code)!!

Have you discovered CRICUT SEARCH?  Thanks to my wonderful friend, SANDRA, I am now a CRICUT SEARCH fan!

This site allows you to enter a word for a cut you are looking for.  Example, I entered FENCE because I've been wanting a fence cut for a Halloween card.  The search will bring up all the cricut manual pages that have either the WORD fence or the IMAGE fence.  You can then click on the manual pages to get a closer look.

This is so cool.  I have more fences in the carts I own than I realized.  And what really surprised me, was one of the images it brought up, I thought was a railroad track in my manual, but now that the search has brought it to my attention, I see that you can use it for a railroad track or a fence.  It opens your eyes to other possibilities.

THIS IS MY FABULOUS FIND FOR FRIDAY!!

Have a GREAT day!

Now go do some searching! Oh!  Cricut Search also has a YouTube channel for video tutorials on how to use the site.  Coolness!

PUMPKIN HALLOWEEN CARD


This is probably the last project I will post until early next week.  I'm not feeling 100% and I've got some other things I'll be busy with tomorrow and this weekend.... not trying to whine, I just don't want you to see no activity and forget about me. :)

This card was a challenge.  I knew I wanted to use certain elements, but tying them all together was a bit challenging.  In the end, I'm very happy with how it turned out.

  • Card base gray - cut so that it folds at the top.  Still an A2 size card.
  • The measurements for the 3 background mats are approximate.  I kept trimming slightly here and there to show a little more color.
  • Textured orange 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"
  • Green 5 1/8" x 3 3/4"
  • Burnt orange 4 3/4" x 3 1/2"
  • Tree stump from CREATE A CRITTER RDS 1"
  • Pumpkin man from Cricut Cut Swap STRETCH YOUR IMAGINATION RDS 4"
  • Moon from PAPER DOLL DRESS UP RDS 1 1/2"
  • Black button and orange jute from stash
  • "Happy Halloween" stamped sentiment from Target (was in a pack of 4 for $1)
  • Green rhinestones for pumpkin man eyes (shimmery)
Have a safe and fun weekend.  DON'T FORGET THE FALL BLOG HOP SATURDAY HERE ON MY BLOG!  PRIZES TO BE WON - you must leave a comment on the Fall Blog Hop Post on Saturday to be eligible to win the prize!
Hugs!

YOU'RE NUTS

Are you having a fun day?  I sure have been!  Here's another card I made this evening with a cut I received from Carley (click her name to visit her blog) in our Cut Swap.  She has carts I don't have and I have carts she doesn't have, so we made a wish list of what we'd love to have.  Then I cut images for her and she cut some for me and we swapped them.  How fun!  I love getting mail, and I was so looking forward to getting these cuts!

This little nutty squirrel is from Stretch Your Imagination.  The background tree paper is from DCWV The Autumn Splendor Stack and so is the little yellow mat I used to frame the squirrel cut.  Ribbon and jute from Joann's or Michael's.  I printed the sentiment on the computer using PrintMaster.  The font is Andalus @ 18pt. I used ink from ColorBox around the sentiment edges and framed it with some more of that yellow paper that I have behind the squirrel.  And yes!  Googlie eyes!!  (Every chance I get - I love those things!)  Have a restful night.  See you guys tomorrow!  Oh, and thank you all for subscribing and your wonderful, encouraging comments.  You guys are so sweet!  I almost forgot, the sentiment says, "You're the Nut that keeps me Balance."  LOL

PUMPKIN PATCH





Hey!  I recently did a Cricut Cut Swap with a couple of ladies.  This was so much fun!!  The card above was made with an image sent from Carley at The Real iCarley. Go visit her blog and look at all her cool creations!

I'm just tickled with how this pumpkin card came out!
Card base is Black from Value Pack (pre-scored for easy folding!)
Yellow background mat cut @ 5 1/8" x 4" from DCWV The Autumn Splendor stack.
The Sentiment mat is also from that same Autumn Splendor stack.
The black strip with candy corn and glittered green candy is from Cloud 9 Designs.  I used my Treading Water punch at the bottom of it.  
Ribbon, button, and jute from Michael's or Joann's.

Please scroll down for 2 earlier posts today and videos.
Thank you guys for all your sweet comments and for subscribing!!  I appreciate you all so much!

MINI BOOK "HOW TO" DEMO


Recently I showed you a Mini Book I made inspired by one received in the mail as a surprise.  (I love surprises in the mail!)  These are so easy to make and so fun to do!


Here is another one I made over the weekend:

You could put quotes and scenes on the same side, but I liked this one this way.  Don't worry, I have more strips already cut that need to become little Mini Books.  So I'm sure I'll mix things up a bit as I make more of them.

The quotes say:
  • "Perhaps imagination is only intelligence having fun." ~Unknown Author
  • "I found I could say things with color & shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for." ~George O'Keeffe
  • "I saw the angel in the marble & I carved until I set him free." ~Michaelangelo
  • "Art is the colors & textures of your imagination." ~Meghan, Los Carros Middle School, 1999
I printed them on the computer using PrintMaster. I used Trebuchet MS font at 12pt.  I then printed them on a label sheet so I could just peel them off of that and stick them to the little hanging boxes I had made.  I just love those hanging boxes.  :)

If you have any questions about this project or need more info on how to make a project like this, please do not hesitate to ask me.  (Make sure you leave your email so I can respond to you!)

Have a GREAT day, guys!  Hugs!

UPDATE:  Hi, guys!  I just got a message from The Handmade Card Blog.  She made a project from this idea.  I love it when you guys take the time to give me the links to projects you've made from one of my videos or posts!  Thank you so much!  Go check out her project and browse her blog!

IF THE SHOE FITS... BUY ONE OF EVERY COLOR!

Isn't she just precious.  She's been playing hard today - see her dirty face?  :)
And before you ask me where her hair is,
this little princess is in honor of all children who are cancer patient survivors!
I made this card with PAPER PLAYTIME'S Challenge #16 theme this week:
"If the shoe fits, buy one of every color"

Card base Lavender from Value pack (pre-scored for easy folding!)
Background papers from scraps but probably DCWV
Solid papers from Recollections
Cricut Cartridge:  PAPER DOLL DRESS UP
Dress Up Girl page 38 cut @ 3 1/2"
Shoes randomly selected from cart - cut @ 1" on Real Dial Size
Phrase printed from computer using CK Storybook @ 18 pt.

I hope you'll hop over to Paper Playtime and play along with us this week!

HAPPY MINI BOOK







This project is inspired by the surprise I got in the mail yesterday from Melissa at http://melissa-moecreations.blogspot.com/.  I've made these accordion Mini Books before, but not this size.  I really like this size!

I took a 12" x 12" piece of DCWV cardstock and cut it in strips.  So each strip came out to be 4" x 12".  Then I put that in my Martha Stewart Scoring Board and scored every 3" and accordion folded it.  Fan folded it.  Mountain and valley folded it.  You get the picture.  :)

I used papers from Cloud 9 Designs for background mats.  All the cuts are from Plantin SchoolBook using papers from Recollections. 

All embellishments are from Michael's and Joann's.

This was really FUN!!!

On the side I haven't embellished yet, I'm going to put quotes or happy thoughts or sayings.  Something you can leave on your desk for a while that will make you smile.  Every body needs a "hug" or a smile now and then.  That's why I'm calling this MY HAPPY BOOK.  :)

This is my submission for Paper Cutz Challenge #58 to use tags in your project. 

Thanks for stopping by and all the comments you guys always leave me!  If you have any questions, just ask.  Make sure you leave your email so I can respond.  Someone left me a question a few days ago and I can't get back in touch with them because they don't have a blog or an email attached to their comment.  That makes me feel bad.  I'm NOT IGNORING YOU!  

Much love and hugs.... oh and    LET'S GO GAMECOCKS!  I live in Augusta, Georiga, but am from South Carolina.  Augusta is right on the border of GA and SC.  Tomorrow The Georgia Bulldogs are playing our Carolina Gamecocks.  There is a lot of excitement in the air in this town with huge downtown BORDER BASH parties in the park and stuff.  No, I won't be attending any parties, but I will be supporting our Gamecocks from home tomorrow!  Woo-Hoo!  Get out your pom-poms!

LET'S GO GAMECOCKS!

This is NOT my video, but I wanted to share it with you today.  I am working on some craft projects, and hope to get something uploaded after lunch - BBQ chicken.. yum....

They made this and a few others just for our theme this week over at PAPER PLAYTIME!

CRICUT CUT SWAP INVITATION

Good morning!  Yeah - our college football team won last night!  What a way to start the season!  Woo-Hoo!  Go Cocks!!


I've heard from some of you guys who are interested in doing a Cricut Cut Swap.  That's a good idea!



If you want to participate, just add your name below with the blue button.  I'll leave this open until Monday midnight.  On Tuesday I'll post a list of who is swapping with who.  I'll leave it up to you guys then to trade addresses and cut selections.


This is how it will work...
  1. All cuts must be Cricut cuts.
  2. You agree to swap at least 10 Cricut Cuts with a partner randomly selected and posted here on Monday.
  3. All cuts will need to be a maximum of 4 1/2" tall, but can be smaller.  This will allow the cuts to fit on a regular A2 size card or other project.
  4. All cuts will be assembled by you before mailing out, but not enhanced in any other way.  The recipient can then enhance how she wishes.  For example, she can then add googlie eyes, ribbon, flowers, rhinestones, etc if that's what she wants to do for her project.
Once you and your assigned partner get in touch with each other, of course, you can decide among yourselves if you want to swap more than 10 cuts, but 10 will be the minimum to play along.


After leaving your name using the blue button below, please email me your email address so I can give it to your swap partner.  You can email me at northrose at slowar dot com.  Please put "CRICUT CUT SWAP" in the subject line. I'm excited!  This is going to be fun!!
