Create A Card Blog Hop

Welcome to the Create A Card Blog Hop!

We are so happy you could join us today.  This is a one day blog hop, but don’t worry you have until Monday to stop by all the blogs and leave a comment to be entered into the drawing for the wonderful prize we have for you today.

Catherine Pooler, founder of Stamp Nation and Creativity Grows Here has generously donated a trial membership to Stamp Nation for us to give away to those who hop along with us.

To be entered in the drawing, just comment and follow each of the blogs on the hop today. That’s it, it is just that easy.  Prizes will be drawn and announced on Theresa’s blog http://scrapsbygracie.blogspot.com on Wednesday, April 1st.

If you started at the beginning of the hop, you should have arrived here from SHAVON!

Now on with the projects!

I had SOOOO much fun playing with the BRAND NEW Close To My Heart BLOSSOM paper! Anyone who knows me KNOWS I am not a "flower" kinda girl, but this paper just GREW on me like beautiful flowers grow (get it..? lol). 

I didn't use ANY Cricut cuts on these cards...it's been SO LONG since I made cards without my Cricut and it felt good to be able to share with those that don't own one (even though I personally feel EVERYONE should have one)! 

If you LOVE this paper, I have create a Kit that sells each of these cards! You will be able to make each of these cards AND a scrapbook layout! Check the BLOSSOM KIT out HERE! 

Please be sure to hop over to all the other wonderful blogs too.

Next on the hop is the talented

ALICIA!

Kiwi Lane 2 Page Layout

Hey All!!!


Here is a quick 2 Page Layout I made this weekend at a crop using my Kiwi Lane Designs Templates!!

I am SOOO excited that I am going to the Orlando Scrapbook Expo with Kiwi Lane Designs!! I am STOKED!! What a DREAM COME TRUE!!! And, since I am going with them, I wanted to have my own book of layouts to show people that come on by!! They are SOOOOO easy to use!!!


Here is my layout:

I used some VERY old Basic Grey paper that I had from when I use to be part of a Kit a Month. I sold EVERYTHING that was not Close To My Heart, except for the 10 kits I had. I figured I paid really good money for them, so I better use them! Plus it is super cute paper once you cut the templates out of them!!! 

Here is the Kiwi Templates I used:

Paisley Place-12 Inch Boarder

Cedar Trails-Fun Boarder

12 Inch Strips-Fun Boarder

Celebrate -Accessory

Explore-Tiny Accessory

Photo Templates 

OK All!! Thanks for checking out my post!!!
