Home Sweet Home Blog Hop

Welcome to our February Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  

This month's stamp set from Close to My Heart is "Home Sweet Home" and is available exclusively through your Close to My Heart consultant from February 1 - 28, 2013.  You can purchase this stamp set for only $5 with a qualifying purchase.

If you have just hopped onto my blog, please start at the beginning at Lucy's blog – Love 2 Create .

If you came from Amber of Scrapper's Therapy then you are in the right place!

I just love cards! 

So I decided to make two cards for this hop...

the first is kind of the obvious choice, a card about home. This card would be great to welcome home a member of the family that has been gone for a while, maybe on a trip. Or you could give this card with a plate of cookies to welcome a new neighbor.

This card was made using: Art Philosophy Cricut Cart. (Z1686)- page 42, Dakota paper pack (X7157B), Durables Studs (Z1706), and Hemp (Z280).

I also look at this stamp set and saw LOVE! And what a wonderful time to make a card for someone you love! 

This card was made using: Artiste Cricut Cart. (Z1790)- page 71, Hollyhock and Cotton Candy Card Stock (X5935), and Bitty Sparkles (Z1263).

Your next stop on our "Home Sweet Home" hop is Priscilla of Priscilla's Paperie.

It's Your Birthday Blog Hop

Welcome to our January Art Philosophy Blog Hop!

One of my favorite days to celebrate is on Sunday... my sweet baby girl is turning 4! So for this project I made her a very special gift bag with her favorite colors and "pupcakes" as she calls them. 

This is very easy to do!! Just buy a plain gift bag and plain tissue paper. 

With the stamp sets in this wonderful Cricut collection (Z1686) you can personalize your bag and paper to match any occasion.  

I also cut out a gift tag from the Cricut cart. to match the bag theme... 

And as we all know little girls love sparkles! So I added Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel (Z1313)
