January Blog Hop...

Well...another month has flown by so that means it's time for a Blog Hop!!!!

If you've come from Wendy's Blog, you're on the right track...just keep on hopping 'till you get back to where you started.

Here's a look at the stamp set and what CTMH has done with it...

My mojo has been MISSING lately so luckily I did all my artwork back in November at a weekend scrapbooking retreat...I used Roxy and Typeset Paper Packets...stamped the numbers all in row then restamped the #7 in Sorbet, cut it out and used 3-D Foam Tape to make it stand out. 

 ----------------------

Here's a closeup...once I find out a little 7-yr old to give this to, I'll mark he month and date on the round calendar....

------------------------

Here's a second card made to resemble a postcard for change of address or "we've moved" type card...I used Elemental Paper Packet and Grey Wool cardstock (the house is cut using the A/P Cartridge)...

 ----------------------

Here's the back...the calendar is meant to be used to mark the date the change of address will take place...

Eat, Drink and be Married...

It's AMAZING what inspiration you can find online...and that was before I discovered Pinterest (imagine the damage I could have one if I knew of it pre-wedding...lol)...

This sign was displayed at the bar so our guests would know what we had to offer...I found a similar drink sign online (a wedding board of sorts) and decided to produce my own in Photoshop and our colors...Sweet Leaf and Cocoa...I purchased an 8"x10" frame and applied the Opaque Pearls to the outside glass of the frame (for my scrapbook, I simply took the sign out of the frame, took the Opaques off the glass and adhered them directly to the sign)...

-----------------------------

here are some closeups...

I got all my fonts off of DaFont.com and they were FREE!!!!

Some long lost wedding DIYs...

I have so many DIY projects that I did for the wedding that I haven't yet shared...

Since my energy and mojo have been missing, I haven't been creating anything "new" so I thought this would be a perfect time to post some of these projects.

I'll start with our card box...I got the idea from fellow CTMH Consultant, Tracey Mason...her cakes are AWESOME!!!  So, I thought why not make one that can open and our guests can put their cards in...while I had grand plans to make one similar to Tracey's, I ran out of time and this is what it ended up being...

-------------------------------

Here's a closeup of how it opens (I purchased the boxes at Michael's and they were 1/2 off so I paid a total of $9)...you can also see the dry embossing detail on the Colonial White Cardstock...the top two boxes are just glued to the bottom box and it's the only that "opens"

----------------------------

Here's a closeup of the ribbon...I originally was going to use the 1" Sweet Leaf ribbon by itself but it just needed something...I found the brown damask ribbon at Hobby Lobby when it was 1/2 off and just glued that ribbon on top of the Sweet Leaf so both colors could be represented...

Bag-full of Holiday Cheer...

This is a bag using Mistletoe Paper Packet from last year and Holiday Cheer stamp set (the sentiment is cut using the A/P Cricut Cartridge)...I add some Dark Chocolate Striped Ribbon (my FAVORITE!!!)  There are some shreds and a pickle bag inside...I think a gift card, candy bar, cash, etc. would be so CUTE in this little bag...it's all in the packaging!

December Blog Hop...

Where the heck did November go.....I can't believe there's only 4 weekends 'till Christmas!!!

We have a ton of Consultants hopping with us this month and you kow how it works....start where you start, hop to the next blog then keep hopping 'till you make it all the way back around to where you started!  And...if you've come from Jen's Blog, you're on the right track...just keep hoppin' 

Here's what the SOTM looks like...

And this month, I decided to make two cards...both are using Elemental Paper Packet and colors

-------------------------------

Here's the 6"x6" made using our Kraft Die-Cut Cards and Envelopes - instead of the die-cut flap on the outside, I used it as a 'pocket' for the inside of the card...here are some close-ups...

-----------------------------

Here's the second 3"x3" card...

-----------------------------

and the inside...

Now...hop on over to Gina's Blog and see what she's done with this set...

Remember...you can only get his stamp set during the month of December from a CTMH Consultant.  If you don't have one, leave me a comment and I'll let you know how you can get hooked up!!!
