JME Creations Design Team Day - Orange Circle Challenge

Today is Design Team Day over at JME Creations!
The theme today is an Orange Circle Challenge.

When I first saw this my first thought was that I dont really like orange. :)
But then I figured out exactly what I was going to do.
Usually my projects have a lot of things going on and I wanted to make something more simple.

So I used two of my favorite things; Elegant Edges and the Twinery Twine.





Recipe:

Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge
The Twinery Twine
Orange and Brown Core'dinations Cardstock
Glue Dots
Martha Stewart Ink Pad
Misc Alphabet Stamps

I hope you enjoyed my project. Please check out the rest of the design teams' projects at JME Creations! I cant wait to see what they made.

Love Always
Holly

Show Me Your Craft Room Blog Hop

Hi! Welcome to another stop on the Show Me Your Craftroom Blog Hop!
If you are coming here from Kassidy you are headed in the right direction. If you want to start at the beginning please start at Susan's blog! This is Susan's first blog hop and I am so excited to be a part of it! (And to see everyone else's craft room too!)


IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR MY CRICUT CRAFT ROOM'S 100 CARTRIDGE BLOG HOP PLEASE SCROLL DOWN!


Today is our chance to show off our craft rooms! This summer I was getting frustrated because I had everything in totes with lids and I always needed the tote that was on the bottom it seemed like.  I had a desk from the Container Store that was an amazing crafting space but I couldnt get to any of my stuff! 

My crafting space is in half of our laundry room which is actually a walk through to the back door.  I saw a picture of a Workbox from the  Original Scrapbox in a magazine and hung it up on my wall as something I was going to start saving for (and I measured the room to make sure it would fit) so I could get my things more organized.

My husband must have gotten the hint that I wanted it because everytime I read a crafting magazine I would leave it open to that ad and leave it where I knew he would sit.  He ended up suprising me with the Work Box for our anniversary this summer. It took us awhile (ok a long while) to put it together and get it in the house but it is so worth it.  If I want to I can close it all up (but I never do because I am always using it)

Here is my craft room!
(Sorry about the walls, we are stripping them in order to paint this room PINK!)





My Twinery Twine collection!


Under the desk...


My friend Brittany gave me a Clip It Up Ribbon Organizer but I found that Cricut Cartridges fit in it perfectly and I can also hang my stamps on it! I love it so much!

I love my Work Box! It makes me stay (some what) organized if I put everything back where it belongs! LOL  The only thing that I wish was different is the desk. I wish it was longer because once I move my Cricut out there is not a lot of space to create!  Other than that I love it so much!  I am so greatful my husband bought it for me.  He is a keeper!

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I will be giving away a Space Party Cricut Cartridge as blog candy.

Here is how you can enter: (you can have up to three entries)
1. Leave me a comment
2. Become a follower and leave me a comment (if you are already following just tell me that in a message)
3. Like The Original Scrapbox on Facebook and tell them that you saw their Work Box on my blog

http://hollys-hobbie.blogspot.com/  and then leave me a comment that you did this! (I dont get anything for this I just want them to know that I love their product!)

The next stop on the hop is my great friend Linda I cant wait to see her craftroom! Someday I am going to go there and craft with her!

If you get lost on the hop here is the lineup:




Happy Blog Hopping!

Love Always,

Holly

Crafty Sprouts Halloween Week

Hi my crafty friends!

Today starts off Halloween Week at Crafty Sprouts!
I had the privilege to be a guest designer today!

I love Crafty Sprouts' stamps because the sayings are so versatile you can use them in so many ways!
I have used them on a couple of my previous projects and I am in love with the quality and the sentiments that come in one set!

Here is the project that I made using her set of stamps called Monster Kisses:


The sentiment says Peek A Boo!

Inside sentiment.

Here is the set of stamps that I used;


These are so popular that they are sold out!  My friend Erika has some mad talent when it comes to making some adorable stamps!

I have also made this project with the same set of stamps...
(posted previously on my blog)


Can you tell how much I love them?

Ok here is the recipe for my monster card posted up above.

Crafty Sprouts Monster Kisses stamps
Mini Monster Cricut Cartridge
Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge
My Minds Eye Patterned Paper
American Craft Ribbon
White Ink Pad
White Gel Pen
The Twinery Twine (wrapped around his horns)
Misc Paper and Button
ATG gun

I hope you like it as much as I do.  I know my boys were fighting over who got to keep it.

Dont forget to check out Crafty Sprouts's blog today to see what everyone else made and keep checking in at her site all week. There are so many beautiful projects and talented ladies and I cant wait to see what they made!

Love Always,

Holly

HSN Cricut Banner - Cricut Contest

Happy Sunday! Tonight Cricut will be debuting their Cricut Expression 2 on HSN and they had a contest to make a pennant banner that says Cricut. The best banners will be shown and displayed starting tonight at midnight throughout the day tomorrow.

I have never made a pennant banner so this was my first try. I am hoping just to see my banner although the winners of the Contest will win some amazing prizes!

Here is my Cricut banner!











I made it for Halloween using Studio G paper and this is where I first made my spider button.  I used a lot of Twinery twine because I love it!  I am hoping that I get to see it on tv tonight/tomorrow. That would be so fun, whether I win or not! I am proud of my first banner and I think I will start making them more often!

Recipe:

Birthday Bash Cricut Cartridge
Cricut Essentials Cricut Cartridge
Car Decals Cricut Cartridge
Studio G Paper
Misc Cardstock paper
Twine from the Twinery (love it!)
Button
Recollection Bling
Googly Eyes from the Dollar Store
White Gel Pen
ATG gun

Wish me luck! I am hoping to see my creation along with some of my friends' beautiful banners! It should be a fun 24 hours or so!

Love Always
Holly
