The challenge this week is to make something with Walk In My Garden, but if you don't have that cartridge, just use a flower. Well, Walk In My Garden was one of the first cartridges I got. Here is the project I made! Here is the recipe also and a bunch of photos!

You Are Such A Good Friend Stamp  (I just was 
looking through my stamps and found this so
I don't know what kind it is)

Blog Design and an old video!

Hi everyone! Last night I was up pretty late, and I just got up, but I thought I'd do a quick post to tell you about what I did yesterday and post an old tutorial as Tutorial of the Week. So, I did a header for Ashley, My Scrappin Palace. I also made a blinkie, but it is a button because we can't figure out how to get it to blink on the blog. Ashley  was ecstatic! I had so much fun, she found a new background, and her blog looks wonderful! My Mom's friend, Robin, couldn't get into her blog because she had placed a banner on the top and she couldn't take it off. So, let me have her username and password, and I gave her blog a total makeover! Now she can get in and she can post! So please follow her! The bird house and the whole thing behind her logo is from My Style Backgrounds and so is her background. Here is the Tutorial of the Week!


That is a quick video with a cute project!

Day 12 of 14 Days of Valentines: Valentine Blog Hop and GIVEAWAY!

It is the start of the Valentine Blog Hop here at Princess And The Paper! We are going to have so much fun! My project is a card that says "Love Moo" with the Create a Critter Cartridge! I thought this was so stinkin' cute! I hope you all do too and decide to make this card too! Here is the recipe!
Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge (Cow cut at 3 1/2 inches)
Red cardstock for background
Heart Dot Cuttlebug folder (only embossed on half)
Love Moo Sentiment printed from the computer
Black Studio G ink to ink around the sentiment


Isn't this card just ADORABLE??? Here are some tips when cutting the cow and making this card.
TIPS
The cow layer 1 is really layer 2 and layer 2 is layer 1.
All you have to do is draw an arrow so you can remember. I know I mentioned this on my first UStream, but I am mentioning it again in case you missed it.
I had to make the heart dot only go half of the way (or if you want to get technical 3/4's) because it would look wrong if I didn't. It would go the way of a vertical card and not horizontal if that makes sense.


Giveaway!!!

Giveaway time! Emma over at My Creative Time has donated a Gypsy Magic Featuring Peachy Keen Stamps DVD for the Blog Hop! All you have to do is become a follower of my blog and then comment saying you did so, or if you are already a follower, that you are a follower. Please provide your email and blog adress so that I can email you if you win. I will be using Random.org to choose the winner, and the winner will ALSO recieve a little something from me from their blog.... An exlusive button for your blog saying that you won! Now that is pretty good blog candy, right??? I'd like to thank Emma for Donating the DVD! As you all know, I'm sure, Emma is a Wonderful and sweet person! You have until the 15th to enter, I will be picking the winner at 12:00 PM EST Time on February 15th, and announcing it on my blog AND my Facebook Page HERE at that time also. My UStream is TONIGHT at 7:00 PM EST Time! Please come if you can! There will be chatting, a stamp release, and 2 Valentine-Themed projects! RSVP HERE or just come!
