First and foremost, I'd like to wish my good friend Jenn a very,very Happy 40th Birthday! I hope your day is absolutely fabulous. Now, down to business. Jenn is hosting a blog hop to celebrate this milestone birthday. if you are following the hop, you should have come from Jill's Blog . You probably want to go back to Jenn's blog and start at the beginning. I hear there's lots of good blog candy along the way, and I'd hate for anyone to miss the opportunity for blog candy! I chose to make a birthday banner for her. Hopefully, it will be in her hands today for her birthday as I mailed it out last week. As you can probably see, I didn't make a traditional birthday banner. The number one song on Jenn's birth date was "Joy To The World" by Three Dog Night. The "world" cuts are from Cricut's Give A Hoot Cartridge. I used MTC for the font. I also made fabulous purple crinkle ribbon from seam binding ...
Welcome to my part of Nicolette's Mom's Day Blog Hop. If you're following along the hop, you should have come here from Jamie's blog. I had a different, more involved, project in mind when I started thinking about what I wanted to do for the hop, but ended up running out of time to finish it. So, these are my "back-up" projects. The tea cup and coffee cup are both from the Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 cartridge. These were my first attempts and I can see where they need a little "adjusting," but turned out okay. They actually went together easier than I thought they would. I cut the tea cup at 11" which made a good sized cup. The biggest I could get the coffee cup to cut on the Expression was at 6" and it turned out pretty tiny. I was only able to fit four of the Lindt chocolates in it. Maybe a little bag of jelly beans or chocolate covered raisins would fit better. ...
I don't know what the weather is like where you live, but it's hotter than blazes here in Oklahoma. We actually had the hottest day on record today at 109 degrees here in Oklahoma City. Now I love summertime, but 109 is a little too warm even for me. It was nice to think about an occasion that we normally celebrate with cooler temperatures. I started a new job a little over a week ago at a law office. One of the tasks I was given was updating the books in the library. When I was finished I had a lot of "pocket parts". Instead of throwing them away I figured out a way to repurpose them. For this project I used: Sizzix Bigz die scalloped circles, Sizzix Big Kick, Glitter Blast Cherry Bomb, cream tulle, Scotch Quick Dry adhesive and the pocket parts. Now, for the how to part. First I took the pocket parts and cut out LOTS of scalloped circles using the Sizzix Big Kick and scalloped circle Bigz Die (retired from Stampin' Up!). Next, I wadded them up and open...
