We Are Nuts 4 Fall!!!! Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Nuts 4 Fall Blog Hop.  

 Make sure you read ALL the way to the bottom :)  Some great surprises for you today!  

Today we are celebrating all things fall and We have an amazing lineup for this hop.

For my project today, I have a couple of things for you :)  I have been out of commission for just a little while so I guess you could say I am trying to make up for that ;) Not to mention the fact that I find the autumn colors to be so incredibly inspiring that its really easy to get my project on!!!

I made this card and the layout with a CTMH paper packet that is already retired......I can't retire it until every scrap is gone though because I just LOVE these colors!  Don't YOU?  You can find other papers like these on my website Mickie's Little Scrap Corner 

I'm sure it goes with out saying that I cut my letters with my cricut :) and the only embelly I used on this fun little card is twine :)  Yep that is it.....just twine :)  This card looks nice but is very quick and easy!

 

Now for your viewing pleasure......drum roll please......project number 2 :)

This layout was inspired by my baby boy who really isn't a baby anymore...lol

 He was born in the fall and I wanted to represent that with his baby pics :)  Again very simple with the embellys!  On these I again used the twine and the only additional pieces were opaques!  I Really love those too!  I would use them on every layout if I could!

 EVERYBODY IS WINNING STUFF TODAY!!!!  

Now for my blog Candy..............And YES I do have some :)  I will hold a drawing sunday evening for some fun fall and halloween goodies :)   In order to be eligible you have to be a follower here, and on my facebook page :) and post on my page..... Happy Fall Yall!  BUT in addition to that......everyone who qualifies for the drawing will get a little gift from me......just email me your addy at littlescrapcorner@hotmail.com and I will send it right out!  Don't you just LOVE Surprises???

To qualify for the prize, you must stop and visit all the stops along the way and remark! Don't forget to wish Lisa and Becky a Happy Birthday too!!!

I'm sooo glad you were able to stop by and visit but I don't want you to miss a single party along the way!!!! The hop begins with Lisa at http://handmadewithlove-lisa.blogspot.com/. If you have arrived from EVILA then let the party begin here!!!!

 So what do you think?  I LOVE LOVE LOVE this page.......In fact I am already back in the studio designing some more to go with.....I'm thinking this will be a 4 -6 spread layout to showcase all of my faves from my little guys 1st Birthday!  I think I am also going to make up some similar Kits for one of my work shops!

 

I first got my inspiration from another page had seen and then you know how that works you get going in one direction with know Idea where you will end up! :)

 

My paper choice was from the Fanfare Kit..........find some like this HERE!

 

My two main BT duos are 6" and matted onto white cardstock and then I covered the seam with some festive party hat paper that I had a little bit of............My Main focus of this page will be a 5x7 of group photo that we took of everyone that was at the party!  So I  cut the Red cardstock 51/2 x 71/2 because I just want a little edge.

 

My small mats are 31/2 x 3x1/2 and I will be using 3x3 photos here...........The Number one is an Irrisistable which I just LOVE to use.........these little guys are the most fun ever!  If you havn't used them you should try them!  You just ink them with what ever color your working with and then wipe them with a sponge..........the irrisistable part ALWAYS stays white!!!  LOVE LOVE LOVE! :)    Check out while supplies last!

 

I finished off with some balloons that I cut out and pop dotted and some confetting strings and a foam Number 1........and I used actual bow ribbon for the balloon ribbon which I though was a fun choice!

I Hope you found a little inspiration here today and of course I have a little goody bag of my own!  Super Easy to win too!  All you have to do to be entered in my drawing is become a follower of the little scrap corner both here and on facebook :) Then leave a comment on facebook screaching.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS!!!!  Thats it :)

I don't want you to miss a single spring project and want you to start at the beginning of spring at Kimberly (http://scrappingrookie.blogspot.com/)

Kimberly has been showcasing her crafts for a year now!!! I've grown just like spring and learned so much as I have traveled the crafting path.  I am sure you will be as impressed with the talent from these crafters as I am. 

Since this is a two day hop I have decided to showcase different projects on each day So I hope you like what else I have in store!

This is my Day 2 layout :).................It is done completely with the exclusive You and Me Kit from CTMH which unfortunatly is no longer available...............but if you were one of the lucky ones who got in on this kit then you know just how marvy it was!

I am sorry to say that I didn't realize that the C in celebrate had fallen off when I was photographing and it is still AWOL.........a search party is out though and hopefully this scrapfest will see no casualties! LOL

 

And for those of you that missed out on day 1, then today is your lucky day! Because You get to see what I did yesterday............today! :)

For Day 1, I did an Easter Page because when I think of spring that is the first that springs to mind :)  I used some soft pastel CTMH Papers, loose organdy ribbon, and butterflies............then I topped off some points with some sparkles.....my fave!

For my Second page I was inspired by an older photo of my BFF and I!  Nothing is more fun then hanging out in the springtime!

For this page I used CTMH paper and sparkles and did a lot of hand stitching........which ended up looking great but took forever!

Thank you for stopping by and remember "think spring" and have that "spring fling"!!

Your next stop along the way on the garden path is

Day 2 of Rebecca's Baby Shower Blog Hop!!!

Welcome to Lisa’s daughter, Rebecca’s, Baby Shower!

What a great idea to have a baby shower between your blogging friends. Lisa has asked that we make a two-page layout which she will present to her daughter.

 Rebecca is having a boy and her son’s name will be Maxwell Thaddeus.  So Let's send her a GREAT BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

There is a fantastic line-up to check out all of our layouts which I hope you enjoy!!!

If you have arrived here from Lisa T, then you are at the right place for this baby shower. If you just happened to visit me today or happened upon my blog, I don’t want you to miss a single present for the baby shower and would want you to begin at the very beginning which is the proud soon to be G'MA, Lisa!

And for you today!!!!  Another New Project!

For the mommy :) I have a two page layout that is actually Very Close to my Heart ;) And very simplistic!  On the first page there are many places to put little photos or a few places to put larger photos!  I used my cricut to cut out baby and then blinged it up with some opaques.....

I love how dainty they are while still remaining masculine.....perfect for a baby boy!

On this second page...........I continued with a simple soft look.......I made a great big area for lots of journaling and topped it off with a cute little boy!  I then also added a couple of buttons and a couple of places for some larger photos...............additional small photos or journaling can be added to any of the little spaces!  Very versatile to fit any special days!

This layout is made with the Cocoa Collection which unfortunatly is now retired.....and that is too bad because it has some awesome papers in it........but don't fear CTMH has lots of current packs to choose from that are equally awesome!  

Ok so Remember the cute little hand prints from yesterday?  Well of course this layout is coordinated with the matching little feet prints!  Very subtle but cute! 

AND OF COURSE......

I have some blog Candy for you to enter to win!  Just in time for Valentines Day too!!!!  I have this super cute CTMH Level 2 Paper Pack  "SweetHeart" which includes 24 of these adorable papers!

Cute isn't it?  Well it can be yours!  All you have to do to enter the drawing is to follow my site here and leave a comment...........and then head on over to my facebook page and become a fan there and post on the wall Congratulations to Rebecca!

Pretty simple stuff right?  And here's an added bonus!  Come back tomorrow, leave some more comments and get a second entry into the drawing!!  Good Luck!

I hope you've enjoyed hopping with us as much as we have!!!!

Now on to your next stop.....Lynn.

Make it a Happy Scrappy Day!!
