Picture It Perfect Blog Hop - Jan 28th

Welcome to the "Picture it perfect 'Blog hop. If you arrived here from Angie's Blog  then you are headed in the right direction. However if you just happened along my post and would like to start at the top then you will have to head on over to   our Hostess Gill's  Blog to start at the beginning.
 Our challenge was to create a card using a photograph or a picture from a magazine or any other picture we wanted.Sounded easy enough! Right. Well I found it way more difficult to do. after deciding on my picture it took me "forever" to put my project together. This is the picture I chose for my card

I don't recall where I got this picture from but I just love the colors and the refection in the water, and here is the card I created!


The base is craft card stock 5.5 x4.25 the pattern paper is from my scraps pile I cut  a scalloped oval with a large Sizzix  Framelits Die
the ribbon is from Joann's the maple leaves were punched with a leaf punch from Creative memories and distressed a bit to give them a little dimension.The sentiment was stamped with tuxedo Black ink with an stamp from one of My Creative Time stamp sets.Glue dotted a couple little green buttons and drew a line one the card stock with a red gel pen around the
 patterned paper.
Your next stop is Michelle  's  blog so head on over to see what she has in store for you today.
Here is a list of all the participants just in case you  get lost along the way!

The card base is from Recollections White card stock All the rest is from my stash. The digi stamp was printed on Staples 110 lb White card stock and colored with Bic Mark-it markers.  The red and white check paper is a digital paper I  downloaded and printed called Little Piggy but I can't remember from where!
T sentiment was typed into word and printed then cut wit a dye from My Creative Time.

    So without further ado lets get the party started. The only requirement I made for this party was that everyone had to put a butterfly or butterflies in their creation.

     For my creation I made an Anniversary card  for an anniversary celebration!



    I love butterflies but my all time favorite is the Monarch and I love how my card turned out

    I used the Picturesque Cricut Cartridge for this butterfly and cut her from black and orange card stock at different sizes ( I cut 5 but only used 3 the largest and the 2 smallest) starting at 1.5 in, 1.35, 1.25, 1.10, and 1.00 in. using my gypsy
    The oval mat was cut from a Scalloped Oval Sizzix Framelits with the Cuttlebug and embossed with a cuttlebug folder called Brickyard. I inked the edges first with silver then black,I used some thin popdots to place the mat and then gave the butterflies some demention by folding back their wings stightly and sticking them down withsmall glue dots. I also litely inked around the butterflies with the silver ink  I used a standard 5.5 x4.25 card base in white an orange mat 1/8th of an inch smaller a black mat 1/8 in smaller than the orange and a patterned paper( from where I don't recall but love it!) an 1/8th of an in smaller than the black mat. Added a small grey satin ribbon bow and the sentiment which is from My Creative Time Stamp set "Gift Card Sentiments in black ink.

For the hop today, I've created a Digital layout.  I entered the 70's in my early 20's, I enjoyed the music of the Captain and Teneal, Bruce Springstein. and The Carpenters. More of a traditionalist in life style I spent the early part of the 70's as a Nurse in the Air Force ( my way of a positive approach to a bad situation re the Vietnam War), Met my husband and got married (73) Moved to Alaska (74) had my daughter (75) and moved from Alaska to Florida (78). Very normal traditional stuff. Most of my picture of those years  are on Slides and not readily available to print ( something I need to rectify) so I went with what I had. ergo a layout of a  wedding photo.

History In My Time Blog Hop

Hi!!  Glad you could stop by and join us as we take a stroll through the last 50 years or so of History!

If you came here from Christel's Blog then your are on the right track. If however you just happened upon my blog and would like to start at the beginning please go to Jamie's Blog to start at the top!
 Each of us has chosen a historical or significant event from our life and created a project around that event.

I chose the "First Man To Walk on the Moon" as my historical event and created a Digital Layout of it.
 I hope you like my presentation.


To create this Layout I used "Creative Memories Storybook Creator 4.0" all the papers and mats are from digital files from CM. I got the photos and the information from Wikipedia.com. I really enjoyed putting this presentation together I can still remember where I was when the news came and how I felt. It still gives me goosebumps when I think about what was accomplished then and since.

 What is a Hop without a little Blog Candy well our Hostess Jamie is offering  a grand prize of 4 digi stamps from the    scrapbookstampsociety.com to people that post on each blog.

Love Bugs Banner for Kids Blog Hop

Welcome to the “Love Bugs Banners for Kids” Hop.


Forty very talented crafty people have come together for a two day hop (Friday, January 6th and Saturday, January 7th) to showcase handmade banners that will be donated to the children at Pediatric Specialty Care. The hope of these banners is that they bring smiles to these children's faces and awareness of Pediatric Specialty Care to all those that hop along.

The “Love Bugs Banner for Kids” Hop has some awesome sponsors and prizes to give away to all those that hop along and leave comments. The more blogs you visit and leave comments at, the more chances you have of winning. That means if you hop through all 20 blogs each day and leave a comment on each blog then you are in the drawing 40 times!

Our Generous Sponsors are:

Jellypark Digital Stamps will award 2 free digi-images to one winner.

K Andrews Designs has donated a stamp set to one winner.
Robyn's Fetish will donate FIVE digital images of the winner's choice as a prize!


Now on with the hop....If you have come from Jearise's then you are on the right track but if you have come here by chance – great! but please start from the beginning at Ellen's and continue through from there.

For my "Love Bugs Banner" I chose to use a ladybug theme and the word Hugs. I really love how it turned out  I only wish I had better pictures to share.
This is a full shot of the banner:

Here a couple close ups



I will have to apologize before I start my description I am very bad at writing down my measurements so these are approximates
I used the imagine to cute the hearts It ha the shapes as part of its software. I believe they were cut at 4.5 inches for the red  and 4.2 inches for the white with black dots.
The red card stock is Recollections from last years valentine pack.
The white doted I printed on white card stock from a free file from  Gina K Designs Stamp TV. Love her tutorials.
The Ladybug is from a free file from Digi My World . She has some really great designs both free and for sale. The lady bug was printed on white card stock so it measured 2 inches for the larger ones and 1 inches for the smaller.
The green and blue paper were also printed from a free digital paper file I got
from My Grafico Digital Arts and Crafts Store. They have tons of fun stuff both free and for sale! I used the green  cut at 1.5 inches by 11 for the rossett edged with EK Success punch The blue circle were cut at 1 inch from the imagine scalloped circle,
The letters were cut at 2.5 inches from Ashlyn's Alphabet and the shadow in black.
