Creative Cuts and More Blog Hop

Welcome to the October Creative Cuts and more blog hop! Aren't these fun?! If you are hopping than you made your way here via Lindsay's blog. Didn't you just love her projects? If you didn't arrive here from the Creative Cuts and More Blog Hop you may want to start there because that is where the directions are posted to win the Fall All Occasions Card Kit.

I want to remind you to check out the store and the Killer Red Tacky Tape. It is the bomb when it comes to putting die-cut boxes together. I don't know about you but I don't have time to sit there and hold it together until it dries. Also, just enter the coupon code octbloghop1509 to receive15% off your order {good for one week}!

Make sure you head over to Chris's blog when you are done here for some more AMAZING inspiration! And if you get lost along the way click here to go to the Diecut Diva blog.

I used the card portfolio for my first project and the football die-cuts. If you have a football player in your family you have to get these!!! They are PERFECT! and you can run them through your Cuttlebug too....I used pop-up dots to accent the one in the middle.

I added some MyStampBOX Just Add Notes stamps on here too for the journal stamp and note stamp inside.

The is portfolio will hold six cards and envelopes but I chose to use it for photos.

For my next project, I used the pumpkin die-cuts for a mask and then accented the one in the middle with some pop-up dots.

And lastly, I used the short kraft puff box for this project...I put some dried marigold seeds inside for a gift for my friend. We love to garden ;) And some more MyStampBOX Funky Flower stamps.







Thanks for stopping by!!!

Bo Bunny and Masking

yeah, baby! it's the weekend...what a WEEK?!?!?!?! i taught my first class this week at a local community college and am totally stoked it is over...i got the first class jitters out of the way. i am so looking forward to next week and hoping and praying this is a new career path for me, i have always wanted this and worked so hard for it. I have been playing around with my instructor website all week, brain keeps yelling at me to get off the p.c. hey, at least i am not on here scouring the internet for all the new cha goodies, right? ;)

besides that...i got some time to scrap last night and made some cards. it felt good to snuggle in the whole with some vino and paper and chill {sigh}.

Here is a card i did for the BoBunny sketch this week. It is a BBQ Invitation. I just loved the Calypso line, BBQ'ing is a summer staple in our house and so is kissing the cook ;)

Of course...all these projects have Core'dinations on them! today is the last day for our contest so make sure you check it out!




For this layout, I cut out this cool swirl paper from BoBunny and it totally reminded me of water. so i traced it on a scrap piece of paper, cut that out and then used it as a mask...this way it would match the cut out. then i adhered the patterned "off" a bit so show off the masking.

These are photos of my crazy hubby, brain {that is my nickname for him for those of you that don't know that-his real name is brian--get it ;}, my dad and brother-in-law getting the paddle boat to work...turns out the rudder wasn't down so they kept going in circles. it amazes me that i even got the camera out between laughing and crying so hard.
