  Blog Candy http://ericasblogcandy.blogspot.com/

Here is my project for the hop which sadly does not have a cricut cut unless you count the card itself. HA!

I used a brand new stamp set from Michelle & Candace over at Jaded Blossom that was just released last week. Isn't that tree gorgeous? This is the Simple Sayings set which has this beautiful tree a few birds and then a lot of sayings.

I used Close to my heart cocoa ink for the tree and saying.  I painstakingly put every pearl you see on that tree YIPES!  Those pearls are also from CTMH.  The paper is Stamping up and the teeny ribbon was made using twine and a fork.  I love making tiny lil bows with the fork.  Great trick! If you don't know how to do it, just check youtube for a video or two - they are everywhere.

Blog Candy? I suppose ya want some huh? :)  I have a grab bag full of goodies and well..... it's a grab bag so it's a surprise. You won't be disappointed I promise!  I will give you a hint tho.... there is a small hostess stamp from Close to my heart AND a Cricut Lanyard, I'm not telling you the rest :)

Simply leave a comment on THIS post and be sure to be a follower.  If you aren't a follower you will be disqualified (had that happen last time boooo)

Please be sure to hop all the way through - there are some awesome projects, some great bloggers and some blog candy and who doesn't love a chance at Blog Candy?

Please click the photo to see my detail on the pearls.  If you correctly guess how many pearls are on that card and you are the winner - I will throw in THREE extra goodies in your grab bag. How exciting is that?


Thanks for stopping by - come back now ya hear?



Hugs and Chirps!

I have TWO items for you today!  First is this cute frame for my mom (the one in the center) with her great grandson Jaxon.  The frame was 1.00 at Michaels and I used paper from the DCWV Boys Nursery paper stack.  A few gems and bows and Jaxon's name with wooden letters and INSTANT gift that Mom adored!  (My sister is on mom's left and my beautiful niece and first time mom Lauren is on mom's right.  Lauren and her husband are very proud parents and Jaxon is just the cutest lil guy!

Ok so - here is my first ever all by myself, didn't use a recipe and it's not from a Cricut Cartridge Project. EEK!   I want HONEST feedback my Krazies - we learn from others so PLEASE be honest.

I used the Pemberly kit from Close to My Heart.  This is a super cute kit and coordinates with the most awesome cartridge EVER.  Art Philosophy. If you don't have it - get it. You won't regret it.  The background card stock is a blue I'm starting to fall in love with.  The flower in the center is actually cut from a piece of cardstock in the kit that was full of flowers. I edged it with blue ink.  There is a solid blue shadow and then the 3 pieces of cream that were run thru the cuttlebug and taped down.  The blue squares are metal and were with the kit. The butterflies I inked the edges, they are wooden and also in the kit. I put pearls on the wings and colored them blue to match.  The shoelace type material down the center was also in the kit.

The inside of the card is actually my favorite. The words and butterflies are from the Pemberly stamp set, however the "Happy Mothers Day" is from Joy's Life and the little trails after the butterflies are from Bzz a stamp set from CTMH.

Ok there you have it - my 2 projects.  Both created from my head - first time ever. I've always copied stuff - so bring on the comments - would love to hear your thoughts. Remember, to qualify for the contest to win 31+ projects you must be a member of the blog and leave comments.

Enjoy the hop and Happy Mothers Day!

Hugs and Chirps!

Scrappin with my Bug Happy Birthday Blog Hop!

Hey Krazies!

My sweet friend Michelle from Scrappin with my Bug is having a birthday!  We're celebrating by gathering a bunch of fun ladies for a big blog hop that is going to run all weekend long. Lots of fun stuff to see along the way and prizes galore!  Be sure you stop at Michelles blog first to wish her a Happy Birthday! 

My Project

Happy Birthday Michelle!

 Front of the Gate fold card.  I used rub on dots for the top and bottom, 2 buttons to wrap the bakers twine around and cut the flowers from Walk in my garden.  The stamps are misc Birthday stamps and the paper is all DCWV various stacks.  I inked around the flowers with chalk ink (cats eye I think it's called)  Oh and the rub on dot borders are from Stamping Up.  I'm brand new with rubber stamps and will eventually learn how do do it correctly.

 Inside of the card.  It's your Day is from Pink Cricut - one of her stamp sets.... sorry don't remember which. Paper is from DCWV and I inked a lil here and there. 

 How cute are these flowers? I tried to bunch them more carefully but the more I tried the more cross eyed I felt so I gave up. I still think they are adorable. I wish I had done something to the flower pot and I still may later.

 This is a border cut from the cartridge.  The center of the flower in the middle is a fuzzy type brad.









I suppose you wanna know what the blog candy for Kricut Krazy is.... well Who wants "Best of Pixar"???  leave a message below letting me know what you think of the card and you are entered to win. It's that easy :)

Back to School Project

This was kinda fun.  Super quick and easy.

Composition Notebook found at Walmart for 25 cents.
peel back the black binding paper.  Keep it on the spine, just peel it back.  Cut your paper (2 pieces) to fit the composition book - mine was 9.75 by 7 something (sorry)  I sprayed glue on the front of the book and on the exposed black binder tape/paper thingy.  I rounded the 2 corners on the paper and lined it up then pressed it with my cricut scrapper.

Letters and mushroom were from Cindy Loo.

I took two different strips of paisley ribbon and made the bookmark and the closing thing with velcro - picture two will show you those.    Also, I put the same paper on the back repeating the steps above.

the orange paisley ribbon is glued all the way around except for about 1/2 inch where I put the velcro  The bookmark (green paisely) is glued to the back cover (spray glue) and then flipped so you can see it at the bottom of the book - it can be flipped over any number of pages  This view shows the velcro open and the bookmark over the top of the book.  I hope you like it :)

There will be 2 winners at the end of the hop.  Winner 1 will receive the Cindy Loo cartridge and winner 2 will receive this composition book (with their name on it, not mine LOL)
