Now onto this awesome Blog Hop!!!!

Welcome to our October Calendar Girls' Blog Hop. It’s absolutely amazing when you do a Google search the interesting facts you may find. Such a find is special and unique occasions throughout the year!!! These unique holidays are our inspiration. As Neil Sedaka sang in his song "Calendar Girls" - "Romeo and Juliet on Halloween!!"
Our hop begins today with the lovely and super talented Lynne aka Her Craftiness which may be found at http://slasewcraftiness.blogspot.com/. The entire line-up is available just in case you get bogged down with all the holidaze and craziness as you won't want to miss a single calendar event!!!! 

Here are my days....
5 - World Card Making Day - Sandy
 I wanted a basic design for Card Making day. To celebrate, I used everything new for the is card! My new Expression 2 Cricut machine, new Cricut Jel Pens, New flower punch, New scallop dot punch!!! I was so excited to play with all my new tools. PS. I used Fancy Frames cart for my scroll background and instead of cutting it out I used the pens to draw it.

9 - Fire Prevention Day- Sandy
I just love these images. They are from Create a Critter 2, each cut at 2". The sentiment are single letters that I stamped with white pigment ink.

19 - Sweetest Day- Sandy
This is a 5x7 card. I used Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge for this card.  You can't tell but the little heart is all glittered up!

21 - Count Your Buttons Day - Sandy
This is a simple card.  I used Kate's ABCs for this card, cut at 2.5.  I used dot paper and added the black dots to make them look like buttons.

And Last but not least...
30 - National Candy Corn Day - Sandy
This image was cut from Smiley Cards, a Gypsy upload.  Can you tell I don't eat these kinds of candies?!?!  Do you know what my goof is?  If you don't, then I'm not telling, lol!!!

Those are my 5 cards for this month, see you in November for Calendar Girls.

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
