Abby's 1st Blogoversary!

I am so happy to be a part of this hop celebrating Abby's 1st Blogoversary! The hop starts with Abby here and it also ends here so once you are done with all the blogs and you have left everyone a comment then you head back to her and leave another comment letting her know you finished the hop. My blog comes after the super talented Mari ( http://madebymomo.blogspot.com/ ) so if you came to me from her then you should be on the right path but if not then just head on over to Abby's to start over for better chances of winning some of the great hop candy!

Blogging is a great way for us to share and express and I have to say that Abby's blog was one of the first that really got me using mine. I had it for a while but never really did anything with this blog because I just did not know what to do until I started seeing what people were posting and the challenges. I followed along but never entered any challenges until Abby's challenges and I entered and to my surprise I won!!! I hope you follow Abby and join in on our Challenges they are always fun!!!

I Love cupcakes so this had to be a charm for me

Crafty X- "Pink & Feminine" Blog hop

If your looking for Abby's challenge look here



Hello and welcome to Crafty X's Pink and Feminine Blog Hop!!!

You should be arriving from Zoe who is the start of the hop and if not please click here

I was not able to get into my crafty area so I made this with just my trimmer, flowers, glue, ink pad and PBD stamp of the month kit while sitting on the living room floor with my 7 month old and my 4 year old at my sides.

I bought this paper from Archivers last year and was saving it (too pretty) and this seemed like a perfect time to use it.

Can you see the hot boot from the PBD stamp set?

This is a die cut from the paper line and the flowers are from Alee' her blog is here

A close up of my PinkBy design monthly stamp sentiment

Hope you like my simple LO and I ask that you leave a comment with your opinion/s so that you can be in the running for some candy at the end of the month but you must be a follower of mine.

Have fun and enjoy!!!!!

Alina

Scrapbookaholic Abby Challenge #1

***If you are here for Jenn's birthday hop please go HERE*****

Scrapbookaholic By Abby Challenges!!!!!!!!!

Hello, I am so excited to share with you all and welcome you to the very first Scrapbookaholic By Abby Challenges.

We will be having these challenges every two weeks and the themes are so fun!!

This week, Challenge #1 the theme is "Pick Your Own Holiday"

You can visit this website from http://www.facebook.com/l/0b26c/www.holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/march.htm or if you find another National Celebration in March you can use it also! Make sure you mention on your project post what day and what celebration it is!!!

For this challenge I had a hard time deciding on just one so I did the best that I could on the little time I had available to craft. I hope you like... here goes:

Project #1 March 7th - Telephone Patent granted to Alexander Graham Bell in 1876

I used BoBunny papers, Phone is from Nifty Fifties cartridge, stamps are from Market Street Stamps(behind the phone) and Pink by Design and also Scrappy Moms, the flowers are from my stash from when I first started scrapping. (I am a paper and flower hoarder, LOL)

This is the inside of the 9"x4" card

 

I made another because I loved this phone too... and this phone is from the From My Kitchen cartridge while this paper is from We R Memory keepers and the line is called Girls Night Out

Project # 2 March 18 - Sparky the Fire Dog's birthday ( the mascot of the NFPA )

For this card I used plain white, black, red, brown and yellow cardstock with some SEI ink, my Sakura Black Glaze pen and myScrappy moms stamps. The cartridges I used are the Spring (solutions) and the CAC

Project # 3 March 20 - Start of Spring

I used the Spring cart and I used DCWV paper and some PBD twine

Project # 4 March is Music in our schools month over at http://www.brownielocks.com/march.html

I can't remember who made this paper but I know I got it from Michael's last year.

I used my Playtime cartridge and some pearls to coat the piano (they are so shiny) and a little of the rest of the card.

Now, make sure you go visit Abby over at Scrapbookaholic By Abby and check out all the other DT's projects! You are sure to find tons of inspiration.
