(I have 2 posts today...if you're looking for Club Scrap's Blog Hop post, please click HERE)

Hello, crafty friends!!!

It's time for Decorate to Celebrate! 

You can link anything 3-D for a chance to win a prize from Rhonda! She makes the cutest mini-albums!!!

Here's my project:

Challenges:

1. Simon Says Mon: Thanks/Thanksgiving

2. Simon Says Wed: Anything Goes

3. Word Art Wed #211: Anything Goes

4. Craft Your Passion #289: Always Anything Goes

I bought a $1 doily from Target and cut out "Give Thanks" in my Cricut.

I stamped leaves (Inkadinkado) with Memento Paris Dusk, watercolored them with ArtBars (Derwent) and cut them out.

Adhere all with foam tape (or use glue gun) and add ribbon/lace on top for hanging!

This month we're featuring the Frosted Paper Collection.

I had these metal bookplates and decided to create ornaments for my in-laws.
All I had to do was to cut the papers and embellishments to size and adhere them with Liquid Glass.
Good thing they're double-sided, so you can see both patterns! Plus, I'll be adding a photo on the back...

Without much ado, here's the first one:

And the second one:

Supplies used:
Flakey Friends (C1506)
Christmas Village (D1554)
Artbooking Cricut Cartridge

Buzz and Bumble Blog Hop - Damask Divas

Hello,

Happy Easter!!!

This is the Damask Divas Blog Hop featuring the Buzz and Bumble Paper Packet (X7164B).

If you came from Stephanie's Blog, you are in the right place.

If you have jumped here and just discovered our Blog Hop, fell free to check the list at Damask Divas Blog to find the complete list of Blog Hop participants.
And don't forget to enter the Damask Divas GIVEAWAY! This month's sponsor is Traci Williams. Enter to win a Close To My Heart stamp set and Cards/Envelopes set.

Here are some Easter gifts for my family (we are getting together this coming weekend, so "shhh"...don't tell them I have made these!) =)

The base is a piece of scrap mat board. I got them from a friend that works in a frame shop. 

These were inspired by the Workshops on the Go® Buzz and Bumble Scrapbooking Kit (G1054) projects.

This one is for my niece:

Detail of the flowers and bee (I used Stardust Glitz™ Glitter Gel - Z1313):

I'll be making variations on this photo of my sons for my mom and sisters-in-law:

They can be displayed on an easel or hung as ornaments (just punch holes and put a pretty ribbon on top!). I haven't decided what to do yet...but I think I might just add the ribbon! What do you think? Ribbon or no ribbon?

The next blog on the list is Carolyn's Blog.
Hope you have a great time on our Blog Hop checking out all the creations using Buzz and Bumble!
