SURPRISE 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

Surprise 100 Cartridge Blog Hop 

Congratulations Erica & Mike!! I’m actually Celebrating with Erica Right now! Yes, I’m a very lucky girl to be such good Friends with her!

Welcome, Glad you’ve made it this far! This is my VERY FIRST BLOG HOP EVER! Hope You Enjoy Your Visit! You should have Hippity Hopped on over from TERRY’S!! If you have just happened upon my blog, please start at the Beginning of this fantastically Exciting Blog Hop with Erica's blog http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com

If you have Never visited my Blog Before, Welcome!! Just a Quick Note, this New Blogging/crafting adventure started about 3 weeks ago for me. The challenge I have given myself, is to only use crafting material that I get donated to me, have had from the past, something I reuse or recycle, or something I buy used or on a super duper clearance. I'm not buying anything brand new!! 
Make Sure you check back for Going Green Tips!

The Theme of this blog hop was very fitting for me since my hubby, Eric, and I just celebrated our 5th Wedding Anniversary June 17th.  Here are a few Pictures of our Wedding Day!
My Grandma did all my flowers!

One of My Favorite's from My Parent's Back Yard

At my Parents Before The Wedding

NOW ONTO MY PROJECTS:
I couldn't decide exactly what to do for this Blog Hop, so I did 3  smaller projects.

This first Layout I did b/c I love Music, I love Weddings & I love Purple! 
Cartridges: Wrap It Up, George and Basic Shapes & Home Decor
Paper: Background Brown & Bride Hair-Used Cardboard from Back of a paper Pack
The music Note Paper was something I had from my scrapping days 7 years ago, no idea where it came from, I'm sure it was nothing expensive! And the Purple came from my friend Jennifer.


This Second Project I did was Because I love this picture of my hubby & I on our Wedding Day! I love that you can see Jesus in the Center!!! 
The Cartridge: George and Basic Shapes
Stamps: Clearance from Big Lots, don't even know the brand name
Paper: Donated Card Stock that I tore
Also used Water Color Pencils on the stamps that I found in the basement from years ago
The Pretty Stringy Stuff is Darice Finishing Accents that I bought 7 years ago
The ink is Stazon
I really Enjoyed this one the best b/c it's focused on my hubby & I more, and I don't have a handmade scrapbook of our wedding day yet!! This will be the beginning!







This third project is a card for Erica on her Wedding Day.
The card I got donated to me years ago. 
The Embellishments are Jolee's by You 3-d Embellishments (Bought 5 years ago)
Pencils: Water Color Pencils
And the Stamp is borrowed from my Friend Jennifer
The Ink is StazOn
After I stamped the Wedding Bells on, and colored them in with Water Color Pencils, I smudged them with a paper towel for something a little different. 

Okay, What would my first blog hop be without some candy on the side? Here is what I have to Share, Fits Right in with the Theme!! 4 Different Sheets of Wedding Themed Stickers!

Crafting Green Tip

Save Those Paper Grocery Bags!

The next time you are at the Grocery Store, Ask for paper bags (if you Don't already use reusable eco-friendly bags) instead of plastic.

When you are ready to craft, cut open one of these bags & use it to protect your work space. Also, You can use the paper bag for brown paper when crafting! For the Kids, Let them go crazy with Markers and then cut out Eye Holes & Armholes for them --Make a Mask or Costume!


There are lots of Ways to REUSE Grocery Store Paper Bags! Comment and Let me know How You Use Them!

Yesterday's Creations

Here are Yesterday's Creations:

One of my First Cards in Years!! I think it's seriously been a good 6 or 7 years since I have really crafted! So thank you to Erica @ www.mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com for her inspiration! 

 Used The Playtime Cartridge as well as George & Basic Shapes
As in many of my creations, I have no idea where the paper is from because part of my crafting green is using recycled paper. My Friend Jennifer @ http://jshandcrafts.blogspot.com gave me the coin paper (and lots of other fun paper you will be seeing & more)!! Thanks Jennifer!



This is my Second Creation Yesterday: 
Another Card:

The black Card I used was from a box of donated things someone didn't want.
The Embellishment was from a pack on clearance for $.25 at Pat Catans.

I used my Stamp (Which I got on Clearance at Big Lots)
& Then Colored it with Water Color Pencils I found in the Basement


I needed something to blot it with, and since I'm so creative (hehe) I found a piece
of fluffy stuff on the floor that came out of one of the kids toys that the puppy had chewed up!


This is after the Water Color Pencils & Smudging with Fluff!



Hope you have enjoyed my creations! Please Bare with me as I'm just starting this venture of Crafting again! More Green Tips to Come Soon!
