Welcome to the It's A Wrap Blog Hop!

**CLICK HERE FOR THE 52 QUESTIONS CHALLENGE**

Hi Everybody!

Welcome to the It's A Wrap Blog hop featuring the Thankful Thursday Design Team!  We also have some amaaaaaazing guest designers joining us this month!!  This hop is all about Personalized gift wrap and packaging.  Here is my project:

*Timeless Twine - Raspberry Lemonade, Aqua Delight (brown and blue), Aqua Blue (blue and white), Raspberry

*Jaded Blossom - Make a Wish set

*Nestabilities Die

*Cosmo Cricket - patterned paper

*This was a fun one to do with the kids. We took a small priority mail box from the post office, and painted it with turquoise acrylic paint. That was their favorite part!

*Then I cut this tag using my Nestabilities, and did some inking and faux stitching.

*Next I took a fingerprint from each of my kids, and wrote their names underneath.  Can't get more personal than that!

*I took some self-adhesive paper, and coiled some twine onto them.

*I used the Make a Wish set from Jaded Blossom that has different Happy Birthday sentiments on it and used it all over this box.  It was perfect for this project!

*I love the bright colors, and the way everything came together on this present :O)  But wait..............

Thankful Thursday - Layout Challenge

Hi Everybody!

Welcome back to the Thankful Thursday challenge!  The time between challenges went a little longer last month because of Thanksgiving, but as a family oriented challenge we had to take the time to spend with our amazing families :)  Today starts the new challenge.  Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for the last challenge.  The winner of the second entry for the grand prize is miislucky.  The grand prize winner of the Pink By Design background stamp is............

Scrappin Dhilly!!!!!

Congrats!!!   Please send me your contact information to crazyaboutcricut at hotmail dot com :)

And the prize for this month will keep you warm...........

 

A Cricut shaped hand warmer!

 

Isn't he too cute??!!  I have one, and it helps keep me warm while Cricut crafting, or outside strolling through crafty stores :)   Here's the next challenge for your chance to win this little guy:

Layout challenge. Make any layout!

Here's my layout:

Here is a layout I created using  My Memories Suite software . It's quickly becoming one of my favorite tools as I have been able to catch up A LOT using digital layouts. Since I don't have a
12" x 12" printer (yet....), I can choose to print this out at 8 1/2" x 11". 


Because I am mainly a paper scrapper, I will add some paper elements, and embellishments to keep this layout from feeling "flat".


And now my FABULOUS design team has provided THE BEST layouts for inspiration! Pleeeeeeease make sure to click on their names to go to their blogs, get all the project details, and leave a comment. Thank you!!

Thankful Thursday - Monster Mash Challenge

Hi Everybody!
First, let me apologize for completely missing the last challenge.  It's been a LOT busier than I had anticipated moving, and I just wasn't able to get to the challenge last Thursday.  I've made a back up plan so this will never happen again!!  Since I am working on moving into my new house this month.  Christel (Scrappin' Sista) from the Thankful Thursday Design Team is helping me out with the TT Challenge posts this month.  Thanks Christel!!  Here she is..........


First off, I'd like to announce the winners of the last challenge.  Since we only had 3 entries last week, Jenny, our fearless leader has named ALL entrants winners. Congrats!!! Please email Jenny at crazyaboutcricut at hotmail dot com.



Now for our new challenge.  We'd like to see all those cute little monsters! Create any project featuring some type of monster.  We encourage you to involve children (they don't have to be your children) in your project. 


And as usual, the design team has some amazing inspiration for you. Please hop on over to their blogs for project details and to show them some love.
