My Cricut Craft Room "Cancer Support" Blog Hop 7-16 thru 7-17

Welcome to this weekend's Cancer Support Blog Hop that Erica over at http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/ is hosting! If you did not start at her site please head over there now. You should have come from Emily's blog if you are on the right track. For this blog hop I created a "Hope" Wordbook for a very dear friend, loved the way it turned out!

Cricut Cartridges Used: George and Basic Shapes, Don Juan, Indie Art, Stand and Salute, Home Accents, and Serenade

The paper I used was some left over glitter white and pink paper from DCWV, breast cancer paper was some I had left over, I believe it is from Karen Foster. Used some small embellishments I had sitting around.

Word book squares and letters were cut out at 6.41 inches high. Once I had all the words cut out, I adhered the paper to it, added the embellsihments, VOILA! It doesn't take that long to create one of these. Hope you enjoyed my creation today, I know the lady receiving it will love it.

Thanks for stopping by today, I love to read your comments and

would love to have you become a follower if you would like.

Now you are headed over to Heather's blog, http://operationcricutdesign.blogspot.com

Hope you all are having a GREAT weekend! Charlotte

Hope you just came from Erica's Blog for Card Creating Tuesday, if not please head over to her blog: http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/


I am excited to share this card I created, it is for our upcoming Women's Retreat at church. This year our Bible verse is Galatians 6:7-9, so I choose to use Galatians 6:9 for the inside of my card. I created an Easel card, they are so easy and fun to do!! I got the directions from http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ resources, they have LOTS of ideas with the directions and samples.





Cricut Carts Used: Wedding & Create a Critter
Supplies Used: Blue cardstock is from M's Recollections paper pack
Pattern Paper is from WeRMemoryKeepers "Tiffany" stack
"Hello Friend" stamp is from a stamp set I got at M's
Twine is from house of three (bought at Archivers)

A special thanks to Dee over at Dee's Bugaboo Boutique for creating this digi stamp for me with the Bible verse on it. "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." Galatians 6:9

She has quite a few that she shares on her website, http://deesbbboutique.blogspot.com/ I can already tell I will be checking out some other verses she has made.

Thank you for stopping by, I love to read your comments and if you would like to become a follower I would be honored. Be sure to stop back by tomorrow for "Would you guess....Wednesdays"
