Hi everyone I hope you are having a fun weekend so far. Yesterday my son and I made our first Cricut Craft together I decided to make him a coloring book with my Cricut markers and cereal box chipboard. I pulled out all of my Disney and Licensed carts and also Boys Will Be Boys cart and let him pick which one he wanted and he chose the Cars hanbook! It was so funny because he didn't want the Boys Will Be Boys cart because the handbook wasn't all bright and colorful like the rest of them LOL! My 3 year old son was so excited to have his own little book he actually colored all 8 of his pages before I could put the entire book together, Aidan loves his Cars book and carries it around everywhere.

Onto my project.....I used my Cricut Markers to draw 8 different designs AKA 8 coloring pages and I had my Cricut draw them on basic computer paper. I cut cereal box chipboard and also the coloring pages to 6x9 inches. I cut a big Lighting McQueen for the front cover and added patterend paper and ribbon to bing the book together. I am also entering into Paula's challenge at MORE THAN FAVORS color challenge which is to use Turquoise, Red & White....some of my favorite colors to scrap with!

#7 Hello Kitty Blog Hop

***If you are looking for El Dia De Reyes Blog Hop Click HERE***

Hello everyone welcome to the Flaunt It Friday's Hello Kitty Blog Hop! If you are here from the Flaunt It Friday's Blog then you are in the right spot. If you just came on my blog and would like to start from the beginning please click HERE. For our 6th Flaunt It Friday's Challenege we challenged our DT to use the Hello Kitty and Airplane cut from the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge Page 65 our participants will have one week to enter the challenge. Here is how I "Flaunted It"....

For my card  I cut Hello Kitty's Airplane on patterend paper and added stickles to the plane and her scarf. I stamped her face with Peachy Keen Stamps yes PKS makes Hello Kitty face stamps!! They are much easier to use then scraping those tiny pieces from your mat. I added some yellow embroidery floss with a red button and I stamped the sentiment, I also handcut the little banner that says "High". Now onto my bonus HKG project.....

I created a notebook from Cereal box chipboard! The box was from my favorite cereal Captain Crunch yum there's nothing like a bowl of sugary crunchy cereal haha! I bought the Hello Kitty Notepad from Michael's $1 isn't it cute? I felt like I won the lottery when I snatched it up Abby know's all about that LOL! I cut the Hello Kitty of course from HKG cart and the sentiment is from Lyrical Letters. For the sentiment I ran through my Xyron sticker machine and poured MS glitter all over it. I inked around the edges and punched 3 holes on the side and tied some ribbon bows. For HK I added stickles to her and ran her shirt through my Cuttlebug because she wanted a polka dot shirt LOL!

Now for some Blog Candy....we we sponsored by Pink By Design Stamps and the Grand prize will be one of Pink By Design Love Always Stamp Sets. Thank you Sarah! All you have to do is be my Follower and leave a comment on everyone's blog. You will have all weekend to complete the hop I will draw a Random winner on Monday or Tuesday.

#6 El Dia De Reyes Blog Hop Card

Hello everyone and welcome to El Dia De Reyes Blog Hop hosted by Gaby. If you are here from Dorcas 4 Crafty Angels then you are in the right spot. If you just started and would like to start at the beginning please go straight to Gaby's blog at http://www.gabycreates.com/. I was so honored when Gaby asked me to join in on this very exciting hop eventhough I don't actually celebrate this holiday I have heard of it and it's a tradition celebrated around the world for years and years. If you would like more info on the meaning behind the celebration please click HERE.

When Gaby explained to us all about El Dia De Reyes she included this paragraph and from this paragraph I was inspired to make my card:

The children's celebration of receiving presents is not until January 6th, "el día de Reyes", the day of the Kings, or the Wise Men Day. It is the Magi who brought the presents to the Baby Jesus, thus, they bring the toys to the boys and girls who have been good. The children place their shoes by the window, so the Magi place the present in the shoe. It the present is bigger than the shoe, it will be placed next to it. Many children, get a new pair of shoes for a present.

Now onto my project:

Since I was inspired by the paragraph above I decided to make a shoe card with a present in it! The shoe was cut from the Rock Princess cartirdge and the present is from Sweet Treats cartridge. I embossed the present with my Cuttlebug, inked it up and added Stickles. I also inked around the edges of the shoe especially on the bottom of the shoe to make it look worn.  I stamped the sentiment and attached it to a border from a MS border punch and for a final touch I added a large black button to the shoe. If you scroll down to my post #4 I made another project with the negative piece from the shoe! I am so proud of myself for recyling LOL!

For my Blog candy I am giving away a set of Prima Flowers I just love those pretty vibrant colors! All you have to do is be a follower and  just make sure you leave me a comment! I will post the winner on Sunday or Monday.

Don't forget to leave comments on all of the blogs for 6 chances at 6 different Grand Prize Giveaways! Also make sure to email Gaby  scrapabookaholic@hotmail.com with a list or all of the WORDS you collect on the hop, it should create a full sentence.
