Pretty Cute Stamps Blog Hop Time!!!!

Hey beautiful crafters!!! 

 It's that time again! I can't believe it is already Thanksgiving & Christmas planning time! UGH I'm behind, I think. 

If you are ready to get started on your Thanksgiving and Christmas cards & projects you are in the right place. We have an incredible blog hop going on and if you just happened upon my blog you'll want to start at the beginning over at the Pretty Cute Stamps Blog. If you got here from Kendra's Awesome Blog then you are in the right place. ;)

Each stop along the way is featuring the October NEW releases of the adorable and Pretty Cute Stamps you see here!

Well to get Thanksgiving (and the month of November) kicked off to a good start I made a little gift for my kiddos.

"The 6 days of giving"


Now you may be wondering why 6 days? I just made it up. I was going for 10 but then I realized a few of the ideas that I gave the kids would last more than a day. Each envelope includes a service our family can do for someone else or another family. They include hand written notes that pertain to the saying on the outside.

Gobble Gobble- "Create an entire meal for a family in need"
Thankful for YOU- "Write a letter and tell someone how grateful you are for them and why"
Happy Turkey Day- "Show your appreciation and share the Thanksgiving spirit by creating a home decor item for a nursing home or the Children's Hospital" (some of you may know that our baby boy spent some time in the Children's hospital last year. Our family has a new found appreciation for the volunteers there.)
You're such a Turkey!- "Be sure to make someone laugh today. Play, Enjoy, and be Grateful!"
Gobble 'til you wobble- "Make a desert for a family in need (brownies, cookies etc)"
Happy Thanksgiving- "Offer services to a family in need. Think raking leaves, doing dishes, vacuuming the house, etc." 

Now of course you can alter these to suit your family and ages of those offering service but these will work wonderfully for our family! 

To make everything in this set I used the Turkey Time Stamp set.

The blog candy for this hop is a $15 Gift Certificate to the PCS Store.

For a chance to win, you must be a follower of each blog and leave a comment on each blog.
For extra chances, you can also "LIKE" Pretty Cute Stamps on Facebook and/or sign up for the Pretty Cute Stamps Mailing List. A random winner will be chosen for the prize on Friday, October 24.

ALL New Releases will be on sale through October 28 (that's my birthday) and you can save even more by purchasing the October 2014 Stamp Bundle.

Next up is Dawn's fabulous blog.

And here is the list in case you get lost along the way. ;)

OKay so let me share how I made this and what it is. lol. With all the talk of sweets amongst the dt I was hungry. AND that made me think about my girls, they look to cook. So because of this I decided to make them a cookbook. They LOVED it!!!!!! So it was made out of one brown paper bag. I cut it down to 10" and then scored it at 5". I then just decorated it. I left the flaps open and as you can see I put recipe cards in there. :)

I really want to share what I used...
 
Cricut- SCAL2, Sweets title is from http://www.page-kits.com/
Embellishments- embossing powder, corner rounder
Paper- All of the paper is from a paper stack
Stamps-Bubbly from Pink By Design (on the heart and then I embossed it)

Jingle-Jangle Blog Party

Jingle bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh...Hey!

Welcome to the Jingle-Jangle Blog Party! I am so super glad you joined us today because there are some really awesome Ornaments to take a look at. If you just got here from Nicole's bloggie then you are in the right place. If you just stumbled upon my bloggie you might want to start at the beginning with Gale!

Here is the order in case you get lost anywhere!

Gale http://www.thehappystamper.com/
Ruthie http://septemberninth.blogspot.com/
Alisha http://felisa21.blogspot.com/
Debi http://dizzylizzyscreations.blogspot.com/
Evelyn http://evinadas.blogspot.com/

Raven http://love4stamps.blogspot.com/
Theresa http://www.thescrapbookingqueen.com/
Tracy http://www.craftjunkietoo.com/
Yolanda http://yoliebean.blogspot.com/

Okay so you are wondering where is my project...oh yeah that thing so I have to tell you that it is incredibly difficult to photograph clear!!!! Clear isnt even a "real" color. I might try to remember that next time I get a "GENIUS" idea in my head to create a clear ornament. Either way here she is...

She really hangs too. I am lovin her. So my thought process was I still have some gifts to be made. Well this purposes as both a gift and a decorative piece. LOVE IT! But the ornament doesn't show perfectly.
So here is my second attempt at taking a picture of her.
The scallop circles are cut out of Cricut Cases!!! Thanks Marianne! You rock!!!
Okay here is what I did...I probably should have done a video ah Heine sight. Okay so I got one side of the plastic Cricut clear case and cut out two scalloped circles with it. You can do this with your cricut and the deep cut blade but I used my Big Shot and the Scallop circle die From Stampin Up. Then I needed a way for them to stay together but...I didn't want to block up all the clearness (is clearness a word, I swear I was in Honors English lol) Then with my big shot I cut out a ton of tags small and large and stamped to and from on them. The tags pop right out of the top so that they can be utilized by the recipient! SCHWEET.
And that's that!.

In case you're interested here is a list of what was used:
Ink- Basic Black from Stampin Up
Embellishments- Snaps from making memories, brads from making memories, twine from Hobby Lobby
Stamps- to and from are from a Greeting Farm set that I haven't used in decades lol okay okay maybe months
Tools- Big Bite crop a dile. I love that thing
Paper- dcwv Christmas Paper, Clear Cricut Case
Adhesive- None score!!!

I hope you all like it, let me know what you think. Now off you go to Theresa's Blog.

I will giving away a little surprise Christmas package to one lucky commenter.
All you have to do to qualify is become a follower and leave a comment on here telling me your favorite Christmas memory!!!!

And if you are looking for Kathy's Surprise blog hop please click on the link.

Have a fabby day everyone!!!!!

BLACK FRIDAY BLOG HOP

Welcome to Love4Stamps.blogspot.com and the Black Friday Blog Hop!
If you've come from visiting http://www.almabrooksblog.blogspot.com//, you're in the right place! Aren't Alma's projects AMAZING!!!!

If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our fun hop, you can go to http://www.crazyaboutcricut.blogspot.com/ and start at the beginning. Each blog has created a project centered around the shopping or using the colors black and green. (I used black, green and pink) Be sure to visit each blog for inspiration and fun blog candy!

Here is the list in order in case you get lost along the way!

MUAH HAHAHAHA! And you thought I would actually be home posting this???? UM NO! This is a scheduled post if I've ever had a scheduled post!!! I am shopping my little heart out right now hopefully picking up a teal Expression along with ALL of the Cricut Lites my hands can hold. I kid you NOT! And my honey wants a 55' T.V. Um seriously is that necessary? "You know honey if you wait I can get more Cricut cartridges." HEHEHE just kidding I didn't say that but I thought it and then I thought "bad Raven." Okay so...

Here is the project I chose to come up with. Because of all the chaos and shenanigans I like to attempt to  be organized on Black Friday. "ATTEMPT" being the operative word. So this year I made an organizer out of...yup you guessed it paper bags. I have pockets for Santa wish lists and places to keep my receipts in case something doesn't fit or I find it somewhere else cheaper. I also have a section to insert my ads. Walli world price matches, SCORE! Thanks for looking y'all! Let me know what you think.




I have two giveaways for this blog hop so two lucky ducks will win something. The first something is from my AMAZING friend Angelica at Market Street Stamps, she makes THE BEST Stamps. One lucky winner will win the new BFF set pictured below.

Another lucky winner will win a Cricut Dust Cover made by yours truly. Please just tell me in the comments what size Cricut you have.

In order to win you must:
