#116 Circles Blog Hop

Circles are everywhere, everyday in our life. The earth is a circle itself. Okay, a sphere but close enough. Circles are in our drawings, paintings and all art and this blog hop celebrates the beauty of 360 degrees. Please join our crafters as they show the art of circles.

Our hostess is Jearise of Lorby's World (http://lorbysworld.blogspot.com) and make sure you start at her blog because she has a special give away going on and all the details are on her blog. If you are here from CallyAnn- http://callyanncraftycreations.blogspot.com you are in the right spot. 

Hi everyone! For my card I embossed the background using my snowflake embossing folder in my Cuttlebug. I cut out all of the circles using my Artiste Cricut Cartridge. The papers I used are from the Pear and Partridge Paper Pack. I stamped the sentiment from the CTMH Christmas Love Holidays stamp set and also from the Verry Merry Christmas stamp set from the October stamp of the month. I used Cranberry Ink. I also added Close To My Heart Burlap Ribbon.

Onto my project.....

For my "Little Doll" layout I made this to put 2 pics of my sweet baby Olivia I always call her my "Little Doll" and she always has the biggest smile on her face every time she is so tiny and cute just like a doll! :) The font is from the Baby Steps Cricut cart, the borders and school paper cuts are from CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge that can be found on pages 56 and 47. The border is the card shape and I used my Gypsy to make it into a border instead of a card. I stamped the school paper cut with a Market Street stamp called Vinatge Notepad. The teddy bear and rag doll are from the very versatile cutting pattern from KaDoodle Bug Designs Santa's Workshop Toy Elves original artwork of Kristi W. Designs. I cut the rag doll and Teddy using SCAL3 and my Silhouette Cameo.  I embossed the rag doll's hair and shirt with 2 different embossing folders from Hobby Lobby with my Cuttlebug.
