The Purple Muse: Life is a Party

Saturday, January 7, 2012

It's time again for Erica's ultra fun 100 cart blog hop! If you're here because you are one of my super awesome loyal followers, then I'm going to redirect you to My Cricut Craft Room because I don't want you to miss out on all of this weekend's goodies:-) If you've come from Heather's blog then you are on the right track!

My first project is a card I made by using the Nifty Fifties cartridge - one of my favorites! I layered the toaster cut from page 37 onto Basic Grey's "Nook & Pantry" cardstock. I embellished the card stock with a strip of felt ric-rac and added the perfect sentiment from Scrappy Moms' "A Pinch an a Dash" set. The tag die is from My Creative Time.

I made these little favors for my friend who is expecting anytime now. Yes, she is having a boy! I used the favor box cut on page 69 from the Life is a Party cartridge and the "B" layer. Tied it up with some PTI (Paper Trey Ink) ribbon and whola - quick and cute party favors!

I also made this self-adhesive note holder by using an 4" x 6" acrylic frame. I will be honest, I had everything put together and couldn't find a 5" x 7" frame, so I had to cut down the "Snow Buddies" patterned paper from reminisce and use a 4" x 6" acrylic frame and a smaller self-adhesive note pad. I used Black Soot Distressed Stickles on the "coal buttons" and stamped the scarf with some snow flakes from Stampin' Up's "Snow Flurries" set. The adorable sentiment is from Pink By Design's "Winter Fun" set which I curved onto my acrylic block before I stamped it:-)

Now for the goodies:-) Please leave a comment on THIS post and let me know what one of your New Years resolutions are for a chance to win these crafting goodies!
