Dog Gone Fun Blog Hop 9/16 ~ 9/17

I'm so excited to be a part of the Dog Gone Fun Blog Hop being hosted by Haidee from Created2Bunique!!! If you got here from Ellen's blog, then your in the right place. We're celebrating all of the furry four legged dogs in our families and all those that still need to be adopted. The idea behind the hop is to encourage families to adopt rescued dogs from shelters. There are so many animals waiting for families to take them home and love them forever, so please consider adoption the next time you want to get a new pet.

Now for the crafty fun! I wanted to do something colorful and to show gratitude for choosing adoption, so here is what I cam up:

I used the Create A Critter Cricut cartridge, which is one of my favorites by the way! I layered sparkly glitter paper and added a little bit of black to make the colors pop.

I added Pink & Green to the edges of the card and lined the bottom with Black & White Polka Dot ribbon and a little bit of Bling from my Etsy store. 

Your next stop on the hop is Jess, who by the way is completely A~Mazing and so creative, so make sure you go check out her Fabulous project! If you want to start back at the begining of the hop, make sure you hop on over to Haidee's Blog!

Who loves Blog Candy??? I will be giving away 5 yards of Halloween ribbon from my Etsy store and all you have to do is be a follower of my blog & leave a comment. The winner will be announced on Monday 9/19!

Again, please consider pet adoption the next time you want a new pet. Remember that Dogs Leave Paw Prints On Your Heart So Rescue One!!! Until next time.... Continue to Create a Crafty Life ~

My Sweet Hippo

I hope you are all having a Great Weekend! Seems like I just can't kick this cold I've had for 3 weeks now, so I guess I will just have to stay home and craft :). Since hubby has been doing most of the work around the house, (which by the way I really appreciate), I've had more time to be able to play with some of my favorite cartridges and I have to admit that I just Love, Love, Love the Create a Critter cartridge! It has so many fun animials and honestly I love them all. Last night I created the Sweet Hippo below....

I used the polka dot paper from the Jo-Ann's pack "Baby Girl" and the ribbon I found in the Michael's dollar bin. You can't tell from the picture, but I put the hippo on a Action Wobble and it's so darn cute when it's going back and forth! If you ladies haven't purchased the Action Wobbles, I would highly recommend them. They really take your cards to the next level with the movement!

By the way we are really close to meeting the goal of 100 followers! You ladies are just Amazing and I can't believe we reached 69 followers in just a couple of days. As soon as the 100th follower joins us I will be giving away the Superman cartridge! Until then I hope you all continue to Create A Crafty Life ~
