HI crafty friends,
Hope you all had a GREAT weekend.
I also hope you all had a GREAT time hopping with us on Saturday, I am so happy to have so many new friends stop by, and if you left me your blog address, I will definatly stop by your blog this week and visit you....
I had a couple of questions in my comments, so I thought I would just take a minute to answer them,

Gina (HappyMom2010) asked....HI Dear, I love your project, Pink is MY color. Thanks for sharing!


I have been thinking of getting a bind it all for a while. My question for you.. How do you like yours? Do you use it often? Thanks for your time and dedication!

~~Gina, I LOVE my bind it all,( my son bought it for me, for my birthday, I found it online, now there is a new pink model out) I also enjoy making word books, and it is great for making those as well,
I hope that helps you, and thanks so much for being a follower....

my next question is from...VinDeeLoo
How cute. I just got a cinch for my birthday. What is glossy accents? I have glittered, but never put anything over it.


VinDeeLoo
~~ I bought my Glossy Accents at Michaels, it is soo much fun to use, it is a glossy liquid that I added to the top of the glittered letters, it goes on kinda whiteish but dries clear, I also love to use it on the critters faces, eyes and noses, and if you put it over glitter, it sets the glitter so everything doesn't get glitter on it,  it is in a bottle that has a tip on it so it is very easy to use....I hope that helps ..

Ok lets get to it.....and the winner is......( I had my son pick a number)
#58

Bitten By the Love Bug Blog Hop......

Welcome to Sherri's Crafty Place and the Bitten By The LOVE BUG Blog Hop!

If you've come from visiting Jamie at jmecreations , you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our fun hop, you can go to Inking It Up Crazy and start at the beginning. We would love to share a few projects and ideas with a Valentine theme with you!

Make sure to check out each member's blog. There will be some fun prizes along the way, AND there will be some AWESOME ideas!

I would first like to THANK the FABULOUS Kassidy from Inking It Up Crazy for hosting this Great Blog Hop, I am so honored to be with all these talented ladies..
for my Project I decided to make a Wall Hanging
this is going to be a little picture heavy, sorry....
I used a set of 8 chipboard coasters I picked up at Michaels for .50 cents I think.. I only needed to use 4,  then I covered both sides with cardstock using my ATG.

I inked the edges......
                           then using my BIA, I binded the edges together using 5/8 in binding rings

                                                 
                  using my Crop-a-Dile I  punched holes in the top coaster and wrapped in wire
       using my Xyron 250 Sticker Maker, I put my letters  in it backwards, so the sticky was on the fromt

                                                after I Glittered and put my Letters on the coaster,
                                I used Glossy Accents to seal in the Glitter, and give it a glossy look

Here is the final picture of my wall hanging, I am soooo happy with how it turned out....

Some of the Cricut Carts I used are:
Create A Critter, Indie Art,
Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art
and Paper Pups,
I also used my Bind-It-All, Crop-a-Dile Big Bite,
Xyron 250 Sticker Maker, and an ATG gun.
Red Stickles, Red Glitter, Glossey Accents, and pop dots.

If you have any questions, please leave them in the Comments, I read everyone of them....

and if you have stuck around this long, you definatly deserve some Blog Candy...LOL
please leave a comment for a chance to win some blog candy, unfortunatly what I had planned on giving away hasn't arrived yet, but it is definatly worth leaving a comment and a way for me to reach you, you will have until 9 AM  Monday January 31,2011 to comment.

Sweet Magnolia Rose Grand Opening Challenge

Hi Friends,
my post today is a LO to enter in Sweet Magnolia Rose's Grand Opening Challenge, the theme is
Off & Away, the project should reflect a dream you have,  here is my LO, I would love to be able to go in a Hot Air Balloon, but I am scared of heights, so I don't think I could go up in one, but I do dream of riding in one...
for this LO I found this GREAT paper from the dollar store, 5 sheets for $1.00
it is sooo cute, it has hot air balloons on it, and looking through my balloon pictures, and moving the pictures around , I saw that the top of the one photo matched perfectly to one of the Balloons on the paper, I love how this turned out......
Thanks for stopping by today....
