This year started with a whirlwind then built up to a hurricane and now it is the middle of 2013!!<br />
<br />
I have a new position at work and that has kept me away from my craft closet, but I am discovering more and more that I get cranky if I don't get to a creative release! So...for the sake of my mood and my family I will be playing with my crafty toys and whip up some fun projects.<br />
<br />
I have signed up for a blog hop so that should help get things hopping! I also plan to work on my overdue Scrapbooking projects too!! Anyway....just wanted to say! I AM BACK!TuttleTimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15452218613930391245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600747314382058608.post-50793304523046641102012-07-30T00:47:00.002-04:002012-07-30T00:47:30.058-04:00A 50th Birthday Celebration ~ M & M's Melt in Your Mouth Not in Your Hand Blog Hop, Stop # 7<br />

<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We have a super wonderful group of crafters to help wish not only Kimberly Pate but Rachelle Larsen a super very happy Birthday. Our hop begins with Kimberly Pate at <a href="http://scrappingrookie.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://scrappingrookie.blogspot.com</a> in case you just happened to stop at my blog to visit me. Don't get me wrong, but since there is such a delicious hop, I wouldn't want you to miss a single stop along the way!!!!! If you have arrived from Amazing Amanda's blog (<a href="http://thescrapoholiccandyshop.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: white; color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://thescrapoholiccandyshop.blogspot.com</a>)<span style="background-color: white;"> then you are following the empty bags of M&M's.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For my projects, I created two cards using M&M's and Stampin Up's Treat Cups. I love using them for cards..so many ways to incorporate them. I loved using M&Ms for these projects..gave me a chance to sample a few. Have you tried the Pretzel and Mint M&Ms...Pretzel ones are ok, but mint ones are deadly good...yum.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ANYWAY...To my projects...The first card uses M&Ms for the center of a flower. The Stampin Up sweet center stamp set has the flower petal stamp. I stamped 8 of them using red ink on pink paper to give it the same shade of pink as the ribbon. Then I used pop dots to make a few of petals stand out. I love the way it turned out. I used another Stampin Up sentiment and added some Stickles and glittery flower ribbon for some bling. The M&M's are the pretzel and regular. I picked colors that'd match the ribbon.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My next card has M&Ms as a hot air balloon. I used a turquoise card and matching ribbon...then, I added some festive polka dot paper with colors to tie to the M&M's. I added glittery red Stickles to the hot air balloon bags to add some bling (I always add bling to my cards). Unfortunately, I didn't have time to print a cute birthday sentiment...If you have any ideas, please leave me a comment!</span></div>

My job has become nuts with our fiscal year end, so I have not had much time to craft. I am so thankful for groups like Calendar Girls to give me a reason and excuse to work on a card. I created this card for a friend who needed some encouragement. I used a red cardstock paper base and added a strip of light blue and coordinating ribbon. I used the Cricut to cut out a sun using Simply Charmed cartridge. I love the little sunglasses. I embellished the lenses with some purple Stickles and drew a cute smile.</div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Rather than create a card with a camera in it, I decided to do one of my favorite things...and add a photo to my card projects. It adds a nice personal touch. I like to use photos on my thank-you cards. Below is a thank-you card I made for guests at my daughter's Princess bday party.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I had a bit of a challenge thinking of what to make for Whitney. She is an animal lover, but most of the animal stamps or Cricut cartridges I have are a bit too young and whimsical for a 16 year old! I wanted my card to be special...age appropriate, inspirational, and sweet. Finally, when I learned that her favorite color was green and that she liked nature/animals and also the color red, I decided to go with a green tree with red apples. I cut the tree from the Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge and glued on 16 "apples" which are really small, bright red beads. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">Unfortunately, I only took a photo of the card at night in my craft room and wthout the sentiment...so I'm sorry that it's rather plain and dark. I was in such a hurry to get the card in the mail that I didn't get a photo of the finished card!</span>

<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">At the bottom front of the card, I put some burgundy reddish paper down that tied perfectly with the beaded apples...added the verse from Psalm 1:3...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Anyway, I played the album and I fell in love with the song called, "The Tree Song." You can hear the song and a beautiful tree slideshow <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6vFWmLXl3g" target="_blank">here</a>. The words really made an impact on me. I printed a copy of these words on the inside of Whitney's card.</span></div>

<b><span style="color: #38761d;"><u>LET'S HOP ALONG TO MY PROJECT</u>...</span></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">For this hop, I've made two cards. I love using frogs in cards. They're so cute and whimsical. In this first one, I used a digi stamp that I printed on white paper...cut it out and then just added it to my card. The colors are difficult to see in this photo, but the card is a greenish blue that ties with the striped accent paper. I cut a burgundy red circle that ties in with the striped paper. I received these really cool "rain drop" stickers as a RAK (Random Act of Kindness). I applied these to the right side of the card. I love the water drop effect it had on my card. Using my favorite Stickles, I created a "fly" ... On the </span><span style="color: #38761d;">inside, I added a cute sentiment: "Frogs have it made...They just eat what bugs them!" This could be a cute card for someone who is going through a challenging time. </span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d;">For the second card, I made an easel card for my new FB friend (who also happens to be my blog hop neighbor, Edwina). She is awesome and sweet...I love easel cards, because they display the cover and sentiment at the same time. Here's a side view of my second card...</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d;">Using my favorite Cricut cartridge, Create A Critter, I cut out a frog and added some googly eyes. Also, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d;">I incorporated one of Edwina's favorite colors, turquoise, and added a little friend for the frog, dragon fly...also a fave of Edwina.

I am so excited to have an "excuse" to craft...not that I need one, but with a busy "working Mom" schedule, sometimes the only way to get craftin' is to commit to do something like a blog hop. I am so glad I did. This was so much fun!!!<br />
<br />
First of all, I want to thank Wendy Turner for letting me know about this hop...and to Gill McCall and Doris Parker for organizing this fun hop!!! It's an honor to be lined up with some creative blog friends. I cannot wait to see what everyone has whipped up. Here is the line up, in case you missed your place:<br />
<br />

Our challenge for this theme was to take photos and create a card with them... For this hop, I am using some recent holiday photos we took of my adorable kids..Caleb, 13, and Michelle, 3...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSnu_3pYoICEvj45kMt-jNyoCcIQz393K9-B0wsm9TQn9xh51M4FwMlxZepkS7MwZRplPj_Hnz-DvAKDrLODSPmPMJCBHxLbxi73loHKlsD-pic7oiiHvSkcPbqM470XzsegRNTsG7704/s1600/Cabes+and+Meesh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSnu_3pYoICEvj45kMt-jNyoCcIQz393K9-B0wsm9TQn9xh51M4FwMlxZepkS7MwZRplPj_Hnz-DvAKDrLODSPmPMJCBHxLbxi73loHKlsD-pic7oiiHvSkcPbqM470XzsegRNTsG7704/s400/Cabes+and+Meesh.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love the colors in this photo, so I selected blue, red, orange, and green papers...Once I chose the colors, inspiration blossomed from there. I dashed through Hobby Lobby and found some great ribbon and glitter glue that pulled colors and flowers from my daughter's dress.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's the BEFORE photo of my project:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhypNxWhEnazKPvVobfcPnWoiXjhJEPeXTUOEQaib8JxSUHvhzxq4MIlC84MmXMhkZuVVb5oJb1KKIJnRPCjws8J3V1o6JfW9SD-dTeT2FXZa5vx5gr1IlajBdQz1LT-juKc8a1qkC8C1M/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhypNxWhEnazKPvVobfcPnWoiXjhJEPeXTUOEQaib8JxSUHvhzxq4MIlC84MmXMhkZuVVb5oJb1KKIJnRPCjws8J3V1o6JfW9SD-dTeT2FXZa5vx5gr1IlajBdQz1LT-juKc8a1qkC8C1M/s400/003.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Flowers and Ribbon and Papers...oh my! :) Then, it was on to deciding what type of card I wanted to make. I chose a "Never-Ending" or "Magic" card. I love interactive cards, and this one blew my mind the first time I made it. It's a lot of fun and really not that difficult to make, so I had to make another one!!!<br />
<br />
I found some great how-to videos on YouTube:<br />
Dawn's Stampers: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAVAzDtcdw0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAVAzDtcdw0</a><br />
Robin's Craft Room: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_PP5JY8ubo&feature=related">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_PP5JY8ubo&feature=related</a><br />
<br />
Here is my card... I just LOVE how it turned out. <br />

Here is the card in action: (Many thanks to my son, who filmed this for me!)<br />

I hope this project inspired you to find another use for your photos...<br />
Remember grandparents love pictures of their grandkids!! <br />
I am giving this card to my parents, as a Thank-You card. <br />
I plan to make more for others in our family and for birthday cards.<br />
<br />
Now how about some blog candy....<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have enjoyed all the fun, fabulous, and crafty projects featured today. For my Day#2 project, I decided to create a Holiday Scrapbook layout page. Usually, I dread scrapbooking holiday photos. I never really understood why, because I love the holidays and my family gatherings. I think I figured out my problem...I can't stand the colors red and green together...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLbKf7Ap_Wk0GptS82QHGhDb9cdA2tnGIuEuKRh-mMnj9ud3zSiqnqSnY3e3JsmPiQX0s9KFVhwpnwgU7iRoO2aezsGAsnOvd99rcwXyx9ZcpjbbcZzGKyHTOjCvW1MSPPizpXP7abGu0/s1600/ornaments.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLbKf7Ap_Wk0GptS82QHGhDb9cdA2tnGIuEuKRh-mMnj9ud3zSiqnqSnY3e3JsmPiQX0s9KFVhwpnwgU7iRoO2aezsGAsnOvd99rcwXyx9ZcpjbbcZzGKyHTOjCvW1MSPPizpXP7abGu0/s1600/ornaments.jpg" /></a></div><br />
and in years past that's really all you ever see. Thankfully, now, I have seen a whole rainbow of colors to signify the holidays...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXzN7rlBigRrom07UB9pkB2yyOKBFVM4z1_Aho3ZUKNUjOKM3tefazGTsIx_4Zs9og63wyXan5Hh1haRDCENkc-UB8SUwApOHQ9yYwAYsabkbXtV9PWb8GZGGY8oA1ydGiyrtxq4jMFSk/s1600/ornaments2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXzN7rlBigRrom07UB9pkB2yyOKBFVM4z1_Aho3ZUKNUjOKM3tefazGTsIx_4Zs9og63wyXan5Hh1haRDCENkc-UB8SUwApOHQ9yYwAYsabkbXtV9PWb8GZGGY8oA1ydGiyrtxq4jMFSk/s320/ornaments2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
so I had a blast with my newest holiday layout. I purposely refused to use red and green..and I really love the way the layout turned out. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have enjoyed all the fun, fabulous, and crafty projects featured today. I am going to try to have two fun projects posted for this hop, but my work schedule has totally interfered with my crafting time...! I want to thank Belinda for asking me to participate in this hop, because it has given me an excuse to stay up and craft! Thanks so much! Ok now on to my project...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I don't know about you but the holidays tend to become so busy that the true meaning of the season gets lost in the shuffle.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ornaments (Make and Decorate ornaments)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Garland (Popcorn garland)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Egg Nog (Try egg nog and see if we like it)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Christmas sock hop (Entire family puts on Christmas socks I bought and dance to holiday tunes)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Reindeer Games (Wii game system)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Candy Cane Hunt (Hide candy canes throughout the house for kids to find)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Gingerbread House</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lights (Drive around the neighborhood area and look at lights.)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Etc..Etc...just some quick activities to get the family together.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

My sons used up the remaining rhinestones to make a tree..and then drew a cross and what he says is Santa's "foot" coming down the chimney..I don't see it. LOL. My hubby didn't have the patience to work with stickles..so he just punched hearts and wrote our names on them. The one that says, "Dad Loves Mom" is of course my favorite! :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZWLvhywDZQtCdobbNPWPaQ0F8Nzsyb4pr0JZylosWGxmhZuLeFVjV3b0S7yePmGdl1WIDf_C7XfxKp_l89FGaqLOYMmIV8vf2l1FKDLxYQobYND36OKwYmAiJwyf1TVrOfzakAk5KfOc/s1600/055.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZWLvhywDZQtCdobbNPWPaQ0F8Nzsyb4pr0JZylosWGxmhZuLeFVjV3b0S7yePmGdl1WIDf_C7XfxKp_l89FGaqLOYMmIV8vf2l1FKDLxYQobYND36OKwYmAiJwyf1TVrOfzakAk5KfOc/s320/055.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> I took a little more time than the rest and made a Snowman, Christmas Tree, and Star using my Stickle collection..This photo is a bit dull but if you saw these in person, they just sparkle so nicely!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now on to my nominations for the "Versatile Blog Award." I hope you spend time clicking their picture to check out their creative blogs. I am always amazed when I do. I have such fun and creative blog friends!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">1. Rachel (my fab sis) at Yarn Over ... she is definitely one versatile blog momma! I love her whit, taste in movies and books, sense of humor, and the fact that she considers a day with a hot cup of tea, pastry, and yarn or good book (or both, because she can do 10 or more things at once) her best day EVER!...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://alohaknitter.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO4U6aYgpLWLq5_8_6fhRUlZDFP6JhCVtXitYQ77WQwUflzNiCzs5agOIjwHFSJb3fIOPOXWT-ZiW8vFLV6f7Ns-5VenCKpA-jjRVSarRCNpQ905yW5yMHQg26w1ri6vc3DEFSsnMQiOM/s320/Yarn+Over.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">2. Crystal at Rustic Daisy. I met Crystal at a crop one night about 1 1/2 - 2 years ago...I actually think I pee'd myself from laughing the first time we met. She will say just about anything that crosses her mind and most of the time it's hilarious. Crystal is one of the most artistic people I know and has the "Taj Majal" of craft supplies! It is because of her that I even got into card making. In fact, I should start sending her my Paypal bills for craft supplies! LOL... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://rusticdaisy.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1W_fsbIb5ovyY95EozSrrrAUQUfdg63xN1q3idwxYXXYn3bAwM87XHaVRJA8Ztyxg49w1TuR7QCDa4bPQs4g_IIF2kJHGkQ6R7b_myjaIC7YB4SAAhVT9FJ5IjTt16Nm-TF2S766SDZU/s320/Rustic+Daisy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">3. Belinda at Bee's Hive of Drama. Belinda just makes me laugh and I love that. On top of being super funny, she is crafty...which I consider a lethal combo! :) I have to be careful not to read her blog while the kids are sleeping next to me...I'd wake them from bouncing the bed and snorting from laughing. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.beeshiveofdrama.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="171" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGEtzkX9BK4_tKnjxcRP2dGIx_zc9Qg0WCQydgu9XIHZxe_Rcg-mSrEHGg6mBXr4Llt5_ARTojRL6sencIJUXkgn5ncsD9YEnBHdeqaYzt_Slf5iEXqgoiFn9D8AvHGmm-WeuZdWMDq5E/s320/Bee%2527s+Hive+of+Drama.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">4. Amanda at Crafts by Amanda. I met Amanda during a "blog hop" and card exchange. I just love her whimsical happy designs. She is also new to this card game. So fun to see what she has cooking...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://craftsbyamanda.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="145" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3DAYa1ZSTOiyYbFvw6_sHPvR7ed19yVpVugmMyikpzllZP-bS0j_jKmfByusoAj0_L2ofRQPs-HipHAqB49Sas6waFIM_TUIPWGH96kaj6VoFuvi1mtXIjxJTwKVQPiaOs05DODK1Sng/s320/Crafts+by+Amanda.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">5. Wendy Roo and Gilby from Gilby's Craftster. Wendy and I have partnered up on a couple of blog hops and exchanges. She is one of the sweetest and most patient person I have met in this blog world. She is also very creative and gets all of her coolest ideas from her sweet doggy, Gilby. :) Gilby, Gigi sends her licks and hugs for a speedy recovery!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://gilbyscraftster.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizvE6m_LsF1lKdDwhAV2m2InFQjuQqqLI2ACxlkLT3nd5zfQou1GIo9WkZz9QYL-yhmWg6NFZQpvWNaRRul6X48P_h5c7jzzFz_qoGUVHI1mEAG9VUl4Ki6DBXfIe7ddNMorV4LARYfO4/s1600/Gilby%2527s+Craftster.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">6. Sarah from Simply Sarah. I also met Sarah through hopping and exchanging cards. I just love her designs and the cuteness factor that goes into most of her projects. I am a huge fan of cute and whimsical. It was always a treat to get her cards in the mail for our exchanges. They were always one of my favorites. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://simplyshaddock.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="137" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpzk2a2nNb_VAJmIG32IHHQkl3PGhcVBJkUvxUKsLJpqpUr9LU3XLnLuBT5thmJB-NVjtwVYY0hrzYodnjXqEp0L_LjFjUp6cMQpmsBdbq0NLdKFyhBukQJ5OtCHPQ8pedRqREaGNpBbU/s320/Simply+Sarah.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">7. Last but not least is, Tracy from Tracy's Cricut Corner. Tracy and I both participate in September Ninth's Tacky Tuesday Challenges. On more than two occasions, I have swiped ideas from the cards that Tracy has designed. I recently discovered her blog and am a new follower. She has some of the most adorable card designs...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://tracyscricutcorner.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir5zHWeM4Ljca6OmDBnI8PMPQ05FyOOzDIOKVRhKNwzPBFHiFAEDkGaQjjBF_H_ZAHvGodu7WKnvr5LqxOtgWlbSnYZpzuWCflD5cZgVQF6eCqEiOZp_ZWPUVl3TPSGE7SwvgHlUrgHSY/s320/Tracy%2527s+Corner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div>Many thanks to Ms. Judy at Scrappin Nana for awarding this award to me.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This card looks more difficult than it was to make...In fact, I would say it was one of the easiest I've made. The only challenge is coming up with 4 designs and getting all the pieces set up in the right direction so that words aren't upside down. To me, that was fun. The best and easiest to follow directions were at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_PP5JY8ubo">Robin's Craft Room.</a> She did the best job at explaining the process. I am simple and need simple, clear instructions.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Here is each flap...I used somewhat stiff cardstock to ensure the card was sturdy. A cool, college student friend of mine drew the dragon...I colored it in image with markers. I added some paper ribbon and accented things with Stickles. I love sparkle.</span><br />

This card just "happened." I randomly chose scraps of matching colors and used a sentiment I recently purchased from <a href="http://shopverve.com/">Verve Stamps</a>. I used Creative Memory paper ribbon and embellished it with Stickles. The tree was cut using the Serenade cart from Cricut. I embellished the tree with a sparkly yellow Stickle. (If you can't tell, I lovvve Stickles!)<br />
