Christmas in July

Hi Everyone!!! If you are looking for the Festive Friday Blog hop, please go here.

Welcome to Christmas in July. I have the pleasure of being one of the guest designers of the Christmas in July week with Giselle and Nadia.They are hosting a week long celebration to Christmas in July. If you have not stopped by their sites, please make sure you go. Everyday something new is featured.


Today is all about Handmade Gifts. I had so much fun trying to decide what to make. I finally settled on the idea of a cute take out box from the new Cricut Projects Cartridge, Sweet Tooth Boxes. I filled the boxes with my Soy Fragrance Tarts shaped like little Gingerbread Men (scented Gingerbread Cookies) and decorated Christmas Trees (scented in Spruce Tree).

These little gift boxes will make a wonderful Hostess Thank You Gift after hosting a Holiday gathering.

Recipe:
Cricut Projects Cartridge - Sweet Tooth Boxes
Cricut Cartridge -Stretch Your Imagination
Stickles -(Variety of Colors)

Festive Friday Blog Hop - 14

Welcome back to our Festive Friday Blog Hop. I'm glad you are joining us on our quest to inspire you to create some wonderful Christmas cards. We are over half way through our year long hop.  The Christmas season will be here before you know it. Time is going by so fast. 

To start at the beginning of the hop, please hop on over to Terri's site.You should have arrived from Angela's blog. If you missed it please go back and make sure you visit her site.

My project was created using the tag feature on the Winter Woodland Cricut Cartridge. I welded two tags together to create the card base. The top layer was cut from an old pack of pattern paper from K & Co. I added to Prima Poinsettia flowers. The card was cut at 4 inches.

Pinkalicious Birthday Blog Hop

Welcome to my Blog and the Pinkalicious Birthday Blog Hop! This blog hop is all about celebrating Melissa of Adventures in Heels birthday. If you've come from visiting Kerry's blog, you're in the right place. If you were just looking at my blog and want to have some fun and celebrate with us, you can start at the beginning at Melissa's site.

For my first project, I made some yummy Birthday Cake scented Soy Donut Melts.They look good enough to eat and smell good enough to eat, but please do not eat them. These donuts are not edible. They are soy tarts that you place in a oil burner or warmer and once the warmer is turned on, the fragrance is released in the air. 

My second project I created a Pinkalicious Party 6 x 6 layout. The papers are from Recollections. I used Paper Lace,  Paper Lace 2,  and Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridges.

Stickles - Crystal
