Q's Creative Blog Hop

-
My cute friend and fellow cardmaker, Sue Neal asked me to participate in her Q's Creative Blog Hop. I was thrilled but didn't have time to create a new card this weekend...so you're getting one of my all time cards I made this past year. It was published in the members-only Cricut Circle E-Magazine. Be sure to Hop back over to Sue's Blog....


Card Details: Imaginisce Garden Party Collection. I cute the watering pot with my Cricut and then put Ranger's Crackle coating over the top. But my favorite part are the flowers I cut with the Cricut out of WAX PAPER. I loved how light and soft these looked...but it did take some practice figuring out the right setting to cut wax paper and not rip it.

If you hadn't said you used wax paper I would not have known! This card is so pretty and detailed. I love the look of the cracked glass pitcher and ethereal bouquet of flowers. Lovely!

Hey all... I've decided to move my "Favorite Find" posts to Friday, you know, "Favorite Finds Fridays".  I will probably stop labeling them with the week number...I think you the idea now. And I started it with one goal in mind...to blog at least once a week. But that goal is gone and I'm hoping to blog a lot more. So if you're still interested in my crafty posts, then at least check back on Friday. Please read through the entire post...I didn't have much time to post a lot about crafty stuff I found since I've been blog-stalking so many other blogs and ready great posts that aren't really craft specific. The first two items are so you're not completely disappointed, but trust me, read on, it will be worth your time.

I started to show how to assembled the Snowman Holiday Haton the above episode, but I didn't finish it on air. So I thought I better come back to my blog and show you how it turned out. You'll have to tell me what you think!! 

Supplies Needed:  Vinyl Record (full size) Holiday picks and Assorted Embellishments Hot Glue Gun Black Belt #10 Can (spray painted black) Wide 3-4" Ribbon
Step 1: Hot glue the painted #10 can to your record. Don't stress too much about making it pretty the wide ribbon you'll be using should cover that up.
Step 2: Add the wide ribbon to your can. Then wrap your belt around the can as shown in image below. I had to use my crop-a-dile told to punch additional holes in my belt so it would fit around my can. Then I hot glued the belt in place because I couldn't get a snug fit.
Step 3: Then hot clue the various embellishments to the brim of the hat. I pulled apart my holiday picks to create a fun grouping on both sides of the buckle. 
Step 4: Thi…
