CropChocolate.com March DT Challenge- Travel/Vacation


Over at CropChocolate.com, I am one of the lovely "Chocolatiers" and our challenge for our project to be posted today, was a travel/vacation project. These pictures are from a camping trip that my then 3 year old took with my parents at the end of last summer(Labor Day weekend actually, lol). Now my child will NOT make a snow angel for anything, however, that weekend they learned that he will make DIRT angels. Go figure, he's a boy, and he's happiest covered in dirt, mud, water, sand. If he can get filthy, he's great. Silly kid. When my mom showed me these pictures I knew that they would make it into his album, they were way too cute not to scrap. I used Echo Park Paper Company's Little Boy collection exclusively, well almost. All paper, stickers & the journaling/label spots are EP. The brackets, "dirt angel", the heart, & the buttons are all chipboard by K & Co. that I've had forever, they've been sitting in my bucket of chipboard and this project needed some dimension, so I dug them out and covered them with smaller 6 x 6 patterns in this kit, cut them out with my craft knife, sanded them down with my BG Precision Files, and then on the buttons, inked the edges with ColorBox's Chalk Ink in Chestnut Roan & then knotted some twine on them. Page size is 12 x 12, the polka dot strip is 6 x 12 with one edge punched with the Fiskar's Apron Lace border punch. 


Well, that's all I've got for today, I've got more projects to go up soon. 


Happy Crafting Everyone!

Hi there! Welcome to the CropChocolate.com Design Team Banner Blog Hop! If you got here from Miwa's blog, you're in the right place. If you just stumbled across my blog today, start back at Amber's blog and follow along with us. There is blog candy along the way, and a prize from CropChocolate.com too! So this is my project: I'm not going to give all of the details here, it was a ton of steps, so I'll do a detailed post after the blog hop is all done, but this is for my son's room. Here's the close ups: CC Products Used: a TON of MM Just Chillin' Boys Paper Ranger Stickles "Goldenrod" Non CC Products: Kraft Cardstock(The Paper Company) Random Ribbon from my stash.

Welcome to the Card & Invitation Blog Hop hosted by Erica at My Cricut Craft Room. If you're just stumbling upon my blog start at the beginning { HERE }, this will get you to Erica's blog and let you know all the requirements for the blog hop candy. Here we go! So I'm completely unsure what I'm using this card for yet, but I like it. It measures 4" x 8". The base is a die cut sheet from the 8 x 8 pack of patterned paper from the Dilly Dally line by Making Memories. The plaid & butterfly print are also from that line, I manipulated a bracket shape on my Gypsy so that it would mimic the shape. Not sure which cartridge it ended up being off of. The ribbon is by Making Memories also it's from a vintage line, grosgrain with a ruffled edge. The yellow flower is a sticker from the Making Memories Chloe's Closet line and the stick pins are from that line also. The "Live. Laugh. Love." stamp on the bottom right corner is from My Pink Stampe...

Growing in Unity Blog Hop

Hi! Thanks for joining us for the GIU blog hop, if you got here from Amy 's blog then you're in the right spot. This is going up a bit late as I'm having major pc issues! So for the hop today, I'm showing you my massive project that I'm working on. I decided to make recipe books for a few people for Christmas and so I'm starting now. I'm using the Chilled Strawberry Soup set, I love it, it's super cute! I'm doing a few different cards into a single set. The set I'm currently working on use the strawberry, oven mitt and the heart.  I think that I'll end up with 20 or 30 of each card type per set. Such a huge undertaking. :-)  I hope you liked my project, don't forget to leave a comment, 2 commentators from the hop will win some Unity stamps. Thanks for stopping by, the next blog on the hop is Carisa .  Brittany
