Amy Jo Birthday Bash Blog Hop February 28-29th

*If your looking for the MBT Teach Me Tuesday Post click here


Good morning, fabulous friends and welcome to Amy Jo's Birthday Bash & Blog Hop! We are so excited you could join us today to help celebrate Amy's birthday!

This is a very special unique hop as we were not required to just stick with one particular subject or theme. Amy asked us all to use any of her favorite things to create a card or project with that in mind. Some examples of Amy's favorite things are the colors black, white, and hot pink, along with anything Alice in Wonderland, she listed some of her favorite animals, etc!

If you arrived here from Yolie, then you are in the right place! If you just happened upon my blog today, please start at the beginning with Amy Jo,  Scrapping, Card Making and Living with Fibro because you don't want to miss out on the fabulous prizes that are being sponsored!

This is a two-day hop; however, we are only making one project. That should give you two full days to go through the entire hop and leave comments on each blog and become followers of each blog, if you are not already, to be entered to win some of our sponsored prizes! Some blogs may be offering blog candy as well so this is a hop you're gonna wanna finish!

For her Project, I wanted to create something fun and something she could have around. I decided to make her a tag. I love the way it came out and I used her favorite colors, Pink, White, and Black and even included a little bit of Zebra. I hope you love it Amy Jo as I had a ton of fun making it for you!
Happy Birthday and May all of your wishes and dreams come true!!!

Pattie's Creations Challenge #37 DT Project

If your looking for the Valentine Tag Blog Hop, please click here.

Hey crafty addicts...

It's challenge time again with Pattie's Creations. This weeks challenge theme is Valentine. Isn't that sweet? For all those who love the pinks, reds, roses, romance and all the sweet things that come with this loving holiday then you have come to the right place. We would love to see what you come up with for this challenge. Our ladies have shown lots of different inspirations and you can check them all out on Pattie's Creations.

Come join us in on the fun and show us what you can create. You never know what might inspire you.

As for my project, I decided to use Pattie's Love Postage Stamps and chose one of the three from the set. I chose this one because often we get so busy in our schedules that we forget how important it is to show those whom we love how we feel. A time for love, explains that and just that, any moment is a great one to tell someone how great they are and how much you love them. What can I say I am a hopeless romantic..haha!

Anyways, enjoy the projects and we hope to see you over at our Valentine theme Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by...

Now onto my project. I happen to love Black, White, and a splash of PINK!!! Everything I love must have some pink in it. I decided to go with this treasure box I have been hoarding for a while and thought this was the perfect occasion to alter it and use it to store many of my scrappy goodies.

I started with a wooden treasure box I found at my local thrift store for 98 cents and painted it Pink.

Well enough of the talking how about I just let you see for yourself...
