Bake Sale Blog Hop!

Hi Everyone and Welcome to the Bake Sale Blog Hop!

So glad you could join us!!  If you’ve just come from Crazy About Cricut, you’re at the right place.  If you want to start from the beginning, hop back to Carson’s Creations.  Georgiana is one of our co-hosts for the hop today, along with Cheryl from Cards by CG.  When Georgiana asked me to be in the hop, I was so excited!  This is my first hop, and it challenged me to think beyond making cards and layouts.  I didn't bake anything, but rather was thinking more behind the scenes on where the baking takes place, and the tools needed to turn out those delicious baked goods.  So here’s my project for Day 1 – wall art for the home!

Ingredients:

Cartridge:  From My Kitchen

                   Utensils cut at 8.5” and shadowed

                   Words cut at 1.5”, but “whisk” was cut at 1.25”

                   Rolling Pin cut at 11.5” and shadowed

Embossing Folders:

                   Sizzix Wild Dashes (starter kit) for the rolling pin

                   Cuttlebug Herringbone for the center of the spoon

Paper:        DCWV Nana’s Kitchen for the background

                   DCWV Seasons Scrapbook Stack for the solid textured colors

Bronze brads from stash

Record Album Display Frame, 12.5 x 12.5

This project was so much fun to make.  I discovered that I really like making these larger cuts on my Expression.  And the framed art looks great in my kitchen!

So what do you think?  I have some candy to give away.  Just leave a comment on this post.  You don’t have to be a follower, but I’d appreciate it if you were.  Make sure you leave a way for me to get in touch with you if you are the winner.  I will draw a winner using random.org on Monday night, May 16.  Leaving comments on the next two day's posts will give you extra chances to win.

Here’s a set of “Party Invite” stamps by Stampendous, some “baking” stamps, Celebrate rub-ons, and of course, we can't forget the bling!

Bake Sale Blog Hop

Hi Everyone!

If you're looking for the Bake Sale Blog Hop, my post isn't up yet.  With the problems Blogger was experiencing yesterday and today, you'll notice that most of us were not able to post.  So please check back in a few more hours; mine should be posted around 6pm EDT tonight.  Others might not be up until tomorrow.  So come on back and hop with us ALL weekend!  Thanks!

National Scrapbook Day Challenge #12

My Pink Stamper celebrated National Scrapbook Day on Saturday with 12 challenges.  This is for Challenge #12--Make a Scrapbook Page, Card, or other with a Kid's theme!  The clown was cut from Wrap It Up at 4-1/2".  I used embossing folders on the hair and hat.  Cut the flower circle from Elegant Edges at 4-3/4".  The card is 5-1/2" square.  TFL!

Scrap Room Decorations

I haven't posted for so long!  It's been a busy week and you'll see what I've been busy doing real soon.  In the meantime, I wanted to show you some decorations I hung in my craft room today.   Ever since I got my new space and new design for my blog, I've been wanting to frame the header from my blog to hang in my room.  I finally found the right size frame at Michael's without spending an arm and a leg.  The price was unbelievable.  I think it was only $2.50!!   And I had bought this "craft" sign at Joann's a while ago for half price, so that only cost $7.00.  It was pink and I don't have any pink in my room, so my husband spray painted it black for me and I embellished it with some red red accents.  I just love such great bargains!!

I did tie a real bow and placed that over the one in the image with some Zots.  So what do you think?  Hope everyone had a happy Mother's Day.  It's been a pretty day here in the East, 70-75 degrees.
