If you've hopped along from Christine -  then you are in the right place!!  If you are just joining me from your dashboard, or reading this via email, please be sure to CLICK HERE to start at the beginning with NANA'S BLOG. (you'll want to catch up on all the FUN!!)...

In addition to seeing a lot of awesome creations, there is some blog candy available too.  Nana a/k/a Miranda is giving away a $25 Michael’s gift card along with a surprise box.  To be eligible for the blog candy, you are required to visit each stop in the hop and leave a comment! 

So here is my project. It was a lot of fun to do and I got the inspiration from Pinterest. Just gotta love that site! Looks like a simple birthday card ( I had fun coloring the cake here with my 7 year old, I think she did a great job). I ink the edges and added some black ribbons ( this is for hubby) so I wanted it "manly"!


 But when you open it up...... There you go...40 cute. colorful candles!

 I inked the top in distressed inks to make it look like there is light from the candles... (well duh San, Like they don't know that, lol!)

So there you go, a easy fold out card.

Next on the hop is Pam -  


Don't forget to leave a comment to be eligible for the $25 Michaels Gift Card!

Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,

My Favorite Craft Tools and Giveaway!!!

By
Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you. Two years ago, I took a step back from crafty and downsized 75% of my craft room.  However with just these awesome tools, I have been able to get back into the swing of things and I don't miss having a larger craft room. Personally, I feel every crafter should have these starting out.  They make creating easy and fun! Tools mentioned: Misti, Neehna Bright Cardstock, Distress Oxides, Ranger Dylusions die cut, In Love Art Shop word die cuts, ATG, Prismacolor Pencils, premade cards,Fiskars cutting blade and trimmer, Zig color pens, Wink Of Stella, Alcohol markers, t-ruler, Westcott 0 ruler, 6x6 paper pads, Versamark, EK Success powder tool, 3d Crystal Lacquer, Tombow adhesive, Momento/Hero Arts black ink, Cricut, Chameleon Black Pen, Pencil, Grid stamping block, etc. For the mont

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8
