Welcome New Followers

Wow - this past weekend's blog hop increased my followers and I get to meet all of you!

Welcome!

Thank you all new followers - awesome to have you join. Please see next post as I will reveal the two winners of this weekends CCF Blog Hop

A little about myself, I have been a crafter for many years. I started with fabric and small home decor, moved up to albums and quilts. Made my children Pj's and Halloween costumes when they were little. They have long since grown. Back in the late 90's I was introduced to scrapbooking and have completed over 20 albums. In the past 5 years I have got into card making and now I can be seen making multiple cards in a weekend as well as other paper crafts.

I have an Expression Cricut Machine and a Cuttlebug. I do not have the G or DS... someday perhaps.

My next blog candy will be when I reach 250 followers. (I just had my 225 blog candy last week or so).
I hope you find this blog fun and helpful, please comment so I can get to your blog. If you do not have a blog - but a private or closed blog - please still comment or subscribe by email.
I post coupons weekly to help us "fuel" and save on our enjoyment.

If you have any questions - my email is posted under my ID page.
Thanks and come back soon!

Reindeer treat bag

Here is a bag which you could put cookies or a small gift in. I borrowed the idea from Project Tueday but I changed the directions to fit my bag and added a border punched flap.

Entering this in a few challenges
Crazy4challenges to use circles on a project
Paper Cutz Challenge - bling! (I used my IROCK tool)
Project Tuesday - reindeer baglet
Simon Says - sparkle

CCF Thankful Blog Hop

Welcome to our second Blog Hop with the Cricut Card Fairies.
We did one in September that was a school theme and this month is a thankful theme.

I am thankful for my family, my children, and my friends. We would like you to visit all blogs and comment along the way.
Crystal is our commander and you start there to get the listing if you have not already done so.
If you have followed along - you would have just come from blondemommy26
I am your last stop before you return to Crystal for a final comment.

Here are a couple things I made - a card and gift bag set.

Directions for the bag can be found here. (I made a Santa suit one below) You can decorate the front any way you like. I did this one to match the Pilgrim outfit. I think you can figure out the Pilgrim motif without directions.

I am giving away blog candy - to win - please follow my blog and leave a comment. I will pull a name for those who qualify. I've posted the candy picture below. There will be two winners of the cloth fabric stitched stickers. (You pick one from the set)

Enjoy - if you need the whole list of the hopper spots:
Here is the order in case you get lost along the way.

Santa stand up bag/box

I had this idea to make a stand up bag box as a Santa's Jacket - hope you like.

This is the pattern and some pics to help you make one.

Cricut Card Fairy Thankful Blog Hop

Tomorrow we are having our second Cricut Card Fairy Blog Hop. This one is themed for our thankfulness for all the blessings in our lives.

We hope you will hop along with us. Comment on all blogs and Crystal is giving away a special blog hop candy.

A little background about the CCF: we are a group of folks who make cards and mail them to those who need a pick me up, or it's a special birthday, or someone is experienced a hardship.
So a few of us have entered into our second blog hop. If you like to make cards and want to join us in our missions you can send an email to Crystal at cricutcardfairyarmy@gmail.com .

Thanksgiving card

This was a great sketch at Card Patterns to get me to use up my scraps!! I cleaned off my craft table a few nights ago and have a pile of pattern paper and card stock that is very huge. How did that happen. Well now I have a clean work surface and can get to crafting.
So I vow to make cards using my scraps and this card is the results:

AC Moore 50% coupon 11-18 through 11-20

Winner of my Blog Candy

This was a time consuming process as I had to make sure those who entered were subscribers and then I checked all blogs (some did not have viewable blogs) for a second entry who might have posted as an alert (thanks for those who did that too).
I wrote all the name on strips of paper

and pull one name

FYI - this cartridge will be removed from it's plastic housing container right before I ship it to the winner to save on shipping costs, it is not linked and it is not used. (I do not own a G or a DS - someday....)
