Hi there!
I am so excited to be a part of my first blog hop! I am participating in Pink E’s “Happy
Mother’s Day Blog Hop” this weekend.
For my portion of the blog hop, I did two projects for my mom. I made a card and her present, which I
hope she will like.
The blog line-up is listed below!

For my project, I did a card and a repurposed project. My card recipe is below as well as a
little bit about the project I made.
For a tutorial, and if you have time, I hope you will watch the video I
made of me making the card.
Card Recipe
White cardstock (5.5” x 11” – scored at 5.5”)
Dotty For You paper from Close to My Heart (green/pink)
Recollections paper (red, black, white)
Watermelon cut at 3.5” from the Simply Charmed Cricut
Cartridge
Sentiment from My Pink Stamper
Ink pads from Close To My Heart
My mother is also a pilot. She co-owns a small plane with my father and another couple
that live close to them. Each
pilot is required to fill out a Pilot Log Book. I repurposed the front of this Log Book to give it a
homemade feel. Whether she can
actually use it or not, I hope she is able to enjoy it. I was not able to take a picture before
I sealed the box (read: I forgot
and jumped out of bed because I originally forgot to take pictures of the
card.) When I finally took
pictures of the card, and sealed the box back up, I again realized I never took
pictures of the repurposed Pilot Log Book. You can see the finished project in the video below. :)
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you’ll consider
subscribing to my blog for more projects to come your way soon!
So, from here you are on to http://www.crazyaboutcricut.blogspot.com/, so you don't lose track! Thanks for joining me in PinkE's first Blog Hop!!

ReplyDeleteTina (GreenQueen - Cricut MB)
Thanks, Tina!! So happy to have you here and that you enjoyed my videos. There are more to come. HopefullyI can get up to 2-3 projects a week to showcase on here. Time will tell. You are too kind. :)
DeleteHow do you become part of a blog hop. I am new crafter as well and enjoy your videos. I am also new to CTMH. So far it is mostly me buying. Check out my blog and let me know what you think.
ReplyDeleteAndieBearieCards.blogspot.com
Hi Andrea! Thanks for stopping by and following my blog. I completely understand about what you mean regarding mostly buying from yourself - that's exactly what I've been doing. No customers yet but it will happen, for both of us! I'm a new follower on your blog and I love your creations! As for the blog hop - I was asked by PinkE to be a part of it. It literally just fell in my lap. If I do a couple more blog hops I may end up hosting one myself (need a few more followers before this happens). If and when I do, I'll be sure to ask you if you'd like to join the hop!
DeleteI loved your video. Super cute card.
ReplyDeleteCstephenson at a dot com
Thanks, Cyndi! Glad you were able to watch the video and so happy you like the card! :)
DeleteWhat a cute idea to use the Dotty paper for a watermelon! It looks great! I laughed when you said you forgot to take pictures of the card...and then the pilot log! LOL...I have done that many-a-time! In fact, I never took a pic of the Mother's Day card I sent my MIL (but I remembered to take one of my mom's).
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jayma! :) I'm glad I'm not the only one that has forgotten to take pictures. Total rookie mistake, but I am "a newbie crafter" after all. haha. :) Glad you were able to take a picture of your mom's card!!
