Baby Card

Good evening everyone!  I hope you all enjoyed your holiday.

I have a quick card that I made for my cousin who is visiting this week from North Carolina.  She is having a baby girl and is due in March.  Tomorrow is the last time I will see her before the baby is born so her baby shower/open house was tonight.

Sorry for the quality of the picture I was rushing to leave the house and just didn't take my time to take a nice one.


Recipe:
Recollections Kraft cardstock, DCWV Baby Girl and my scraps
Birthday Bash and Storybook Cricut cartridges
Craft string and buttons are from my stash


I will be back tomorrow to announce all the winners from the Christmas Magic Blog Hop and the 12 Days Of Christmas Blog Hop!

12 Days Of Christmas Blog Hop Day 12

For Cricut Craft Room's 25 Days Of Christmas, click here.






Welcome to Day 12 of the 12 Days Of Christmas Blog Hop!




This is a 12 day hop filled with anything and everything Christmas.

If you are coming from Theresa, you are right on track.  If you just came across my blog and would like to hop along, please start over with Lisa as she is our lovely hostess.

There are some fabulous prizes and great sponsors for this hop so please make sure you follow the requirements for each day.

Here is the lineup in case you get lost...



I can't believe that it's the last day.  Time has flown by.  It took me awhile to figure out what I wanted to do for the last post and figured I would show everyone my tree.  It's a live tree and luckily this year we were able to find a spruce.  Please don't pay attention to the scratches on the ceiling, years of tall trees has certainly taken it's toll.


Can you tell my house loves Christmas lol.  I also have a second tree which is considered the "kids" tree (there are no kids in the house, the ornaments on the tree are very old and bought mostly when my brother and I were kids).  That tree is a fake one but is just as beautiful (sorry no pics, you know me...I'm terrible at taking good pics).

For the grand prize....
The grand prize is a Create A Critter Cricut cartridge.  Surprise!  


To win, you must comment on ALL 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS BLOG HOP POSTS. Please leave a way for me to reach you when you comment.  I will be announcing all winners on Tuesday, December 27th.

Thank you so much for joining me on these 12 days, I've had so much fun!  I wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a fabulous New Year.


Your next stop is Anita.

This is a 12 day hop filled with anything and everything Christmas.

If you are coming from Theresa, you are right on track.  If you just came across my blog and would like to hop along, please start over with Lisa as she is our lovely hostess.

There are some fabulous prizes and great sponsors for this hop so please make sure you follow the requirements for each day.

Here is the lineup in case you get lost...


Running out of wrapping paper?  Or need to wrap that last minute gift and don't feel like ripping into a new roll?  As I was trying to figure out what I would do for my Day 11 a little while ago, my mommom had told me about a gift wrapping idea she saw on the tv using cardstock.  I'm sure you can find this idea anywhere on the Internet, You Tube, Pinterest.  It's great for any occasion!  I wanted to share a gift that I wrapped for my aunt.  I recommend the cardstock wrapping with a smaller gift.


Recipe:
Paper is Recollections Jolly & Bright and from my stash
Ribbon is from my stash
Scrappy Moms Winter Wishes stamp set
VersaFine in Onyx Black
Spellbinders Nestabilities-Small Circle and Small Scallop Circle

I'm going to give a big prize away to one lucky person.  The prize will be a secret for a couple of posts (the last day lol).  To win my grand prize, you must comment on all 12 days of the hop.


Reminder that some days may have individual blog candy besides my grand prize.


Please remember to stop back tomorrow for my final day!


Your next stop is Anita.
