Crop Chocolate's Blog Hop

I'm so glad you stopped by! I am the 6th stop in CropChocolate's blog hop. If you are following the links in order, then you will have just left DeeDee's blog. {Isn't she amazing???} If you didn't start at the beginning, then you need to go to The Crop and start there so you don't miss a thing.

If you aren't familiar with what CropChocolate is, it is a Deal A Day website that sells scrapbooking supplies at SWEET deals. If you have a sweet tooth for scrapbooking supplies, then CropChocolate is the place for you!

This blog hop is special as we are hopping along with the lovely folks at WeScrap. Click on the link to get to their online crop forum.  They will be giving away 4 sets of $25 CropCredits donated by CC on Feb. 1. CropChocolate will be giving away 2 kits of the winner's choosing, donated by WeScrap!

In order to win one of the kits, all blog hoppers will need to leave a comment on The Crop after going to each of our blogs.  Two random winners will be announced on The Crop on February 1st. Fun, huh????

Now that all of the "business" is taken care of...here's my project for the blog hop. I call these lovely ladies my "2012 Valentines Day Royalty".

Another post!

Two days in a row! Wow!!! Here's a couple of cards I made for the Valentine's season. I used Lime Twist twine and paper from the Lost and Found collection. I also used Glitter Thickers, miscellaneous paper scraps, buttons and ribbon. I hope you like them as much as I do. :D



I'm now going to get ready to put things together for CropChocolate's blog hop! Can't wait, can't wait!!!

It's a new year.....

....And I need to spend more time on my blogs and keep them current!!!

The more and more I spend time crafting, I'm seeing that I love to make more than just cards. Some of the challenges we are given really get me thinking and I have really been happy with the things I have created. Today, I'm going to post just a few items I have made along with the tutorial videos. Let me know if you have any questions or better yet.....suggestions on techniques you would like to see used. The more suggestions, the better!!!!

Thanks!

Michele

The challenge was to make some sort of album. This album is made from envelopes from my card stash.



I wanted to do something that would allow the pages to be decorated AND have tags incorporated in the design.

I loved making this cute little album!
