Chinese New Year

Did you know that yesterday, January 31 was the start of the Chinese New Year and my son's 30th birthday?  Today, I spent the day at a crop and I actually did make something in addition to the normal chatting, socializing and shopping!  So I'm sharing the card that I created for this week's blog challenge over at Scraps of Color.  This week's challenge was to create a project with an Asian inspired theme, I used a die cut that I received in a swap some time ago, the pattern paper was one of my purchases today.  The die cut is from the Pagoda cricut cartridge.

Have Some Cake

This has been a very busy week and I'm in need of some downtime, I've also committed myself to do some training at work on Saturday too.  I don't know what I was thinking since it is homecoming weekend here and we'll be going to Virginia Union University for some of their weekend festivities! 

I'm excited to share today's LO for three different challenges.  Scraps of Color week #41 blog challenge was to create a project that included a birthday cake.  Scraps of Color is celebrating its 9th anniversary this month.  The LO uses some pictures that I took last Friday when we went to visit my mom for her birthday.  We always take her a cake from a bakery here, I originally had planned to cut a cake with my cricut.  I just didn't feel like pulling it out, I couldn't believe I didn't have a cake sticker!  Looking at how the picture of the LO came out I am not sure I like it, its one of  those cases where it looks better in person.

The LO's sketch was inspired by October's week #2 LO challenge over at Let's Get Sketchy,  I had fun using last week's sketch so I decided play along again this week.  Finally over at Scrap Our Stash they are having a tic tac toe challenge for this month.  I used the three items from the top row going across which included: buttons, washi tape and chipboard.  All items used have been in my stash for quite some time.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.

Christmas Gift Bags
I made these simple holiday gift bags using plain brown lunch bags. Inspiration for this project was found on www.okieladybugsscrapnmore.blogspot.com, she also included a video tutorial. I just used miscellaneous sheets of paper, paper scraps, along with other embellishments. Since I used pattern paper I decided not to use a lot of other embellishments. I did use ribbon, bling, buttons, stickles, floss and the cuttlebug on one of the bags along with punches for the handle holes. This is a quick and economical ways to personalize your gift bags not just for Christmas but anytime!



Gift Tag
My original intent was to make individual gift tags for the bags but I decided instead to just create one large holiday gift tag. I cut the tag using TBBM using the cricut and acetate (packaging from cricut cartridges). I colored the tag with alcohol ink and embellished it and added some ribbon.

Blog Candy

One of the Sista challenges for this week is that we go blog hopping and post messages. I've participated in several blog hops where blog candy is an incentive to get people to follow blogs or leave comments. That being said I'm offering some blog candy for anyone that posts a comment to my blog from now until Thursday, June 4. It'll be a mystery grab bag.
