My Big Fat Wedding Blog Hop!

Hi and welcome to the My Big Fat Wedding Blog Hop!


Welcome to My Big Fat Wedding Blog Hop.

If not, please go and start from the beginning at http://wwwpaperkraftsunlimiteddesings.blogspot.com
Blog Hop Giveaway is............ $10.00 Gift Card fom Ginger Snaps Scraps.




Here is what I came up with: Here is a little "flower girl" basket I made without even using my Cricut Expression. As much as I love my Expression, sometimes I just want to use some paper and make something quick! Well, it doesn't get any quicker than this!!!






I started out with a 12 x 12 piece of card stock and cut it down to 9 x 9. You will also need a one inch strip of contrasting paper for the handle.Score at three and six inches ----- but only score three inches down. Turn the paper 180 degrees and repeat.
Cut the score line. You are going to have what looks like flaps. Fold the flaps with a bone folder for a more crisp fold.
Using an ATG adhesive or a double sided tape, take two ends and bring them to one another with the third flap in the middle. The middle flap with fold up on the inside of the two flaps. Secure the end and then do the other side. Take the one inch strip and adhere it to the inside of the "basket". You can then embellish it. I used some pink ribbon and some flowers that I had in my stash. This little basket was sooo easy to make. It took less than 30 minutes from beginning to end!


The patterned paper came from Close to My Heart from the Sweetheart paper pack. If you want to purchase that paper or any of the other paper from CTMH, you can purchase it >>>>>HERE<<<<<

Yesterday was my nephew's birthday. Yes, he was born on Cinco de Mayo! He turned seven years old. He is my little buddy because we like a lot of the same things! I made this two page layout because I know I'm going to have some pictures of him and I celebrating his birthday.


I used Cindy Loo, A Word Party and Potpourri Basket to create this layout.






I used my gypsy for the balloons. The balloons were cut out from A Word Party at 3 inches. I layered the word "party" on top of the balloons using the font from Cindy Loo. The font is approximately 2 1/2 inches. The twine I used for the balloons came from 3 Girls Jam. The party hat, the ice cream cone and the gift all come from Potpourri Basket and was cut out at 4 inches. I cut them all out on white paper and colored them using my copic markers. The streamers came from Elmo's Party. 














Thanks for looking! Please make sure you visit each stop during the hop! 




NEXT IN THE LINEUP IS Kathy Jo - http://skrappindiva.blogspot.com/

We R Memory Keepers Lucky 8 Punch review


Today I received my We R Memory Keepers Lucky 8 Punches. I purchased them on HSN a few days ago and couldn't wait for them to arrive! Now I will admit that these punches are LARGE, lol! This makes storage somewhat of an issue. However, overlooking their size, these punches are fantastic! I played with the pink one a little.  The instructions are very easy to understand! You have the option of using the outer punch, the inner punch or both simultaneously. I chose to use both together. This was very easy to use and within no time, this is what I punched using a 12 x 12 paper.


The instructions give information on how to use the punches to create different looks using different size papers. I have to say that I really like these punches and I can't wait for the others to be released. ♥
