Valentine's Blog Hop

Welcome to your last blog. If you didn't come from Hattie's Blog go back to the start at Amanda’s blog.
For my card I made this cute mosaic that I am going to give to my Mom this year.

I used kraft and white cardstock, bakers twine, apron lace border punch, doily die cut from the Mother's Day cartridge from Cricut and  what Amanda sent me.
With the left overs I also made a bookmark.

I am giving the bookmark away to a lucky follower.

Leave me a comment. Then leave me ANOTHER comment telling me if you are a follower. If you're not a follower yet, I'd love to have you join my blog! Leave me a comment telling me you're a new follower. (total of 2 possible comments per person) I'll draw a winner on Sunday (Feb. 5th) and post it here!

Brother's Valentine Card

This card I made for a lot of challenges. I made it for two challenges over at Club CK ( Ericka's Issue Challenge and this week's card challenge) and Burlap & Buttercups Something Masculine challenge.

I think this card is perfect for my brother. I used three colors on this card, purple, brown and blue.

An Hour Page

Here is another page I did last week. I did for a Creating Keepsakes One Hour Challenge: create a layout wit a ribbon memo board. Too make this a little more challenging I added the Frosted Design Recipe challenge. (I really didn't need to make more challenging since I made this while I was eating dinner and started 15 minutes in the challenge.)

I wrote the recipe down and placed it in the memo board.
Here it is. I got it over 10 years ago from Shara Molton (not sure if spelled right) on Foodnetwork.

Grandma

I did this page about my Grandma on my Mom's side. I never knew her because she passed away when my mom was a teenager. I thought this page is perfect to honor her.

It was inspired by this card that I am selling here

Layout was based on Ashley Horton's sketch over at Frosted Designs.

Thanks and a Layout

I would like to say thanks Burlap & Buttercups for the Dec. kit they donated to Frosted Designs. I got it yesterday. It came with this pleated strip which I used on a layout I did last night. I say it came he perfect day.

I used this a sketch from Burlap & Buttercups and came up with this year.

Handmade Christmas Gifts

Every year I make my grandparents something for their presents.
I bought an unfinished shadow box from Hobby Lobby for my grandma and an unfinished waste paper basket for my grandpa. I painted and covered both in scrapbooking papers.

This is what I made for my dog for Christmas.

A turkey leg and a candy bar. If you like these dog toys, which are durable you can buy them from me http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/MJsKraze/2/7/161499/

My favorite Cookie

Now onto something that is sweet. My all-time favorite Christmas cookie is Gingerbread. I love the warmth taste and the smell.
This year I had to make two batches. The first one I did a different recipe than I normally do since I only had blackstrap molasses.  Let me just say those things were not edible. They turned out to be hard as rocks after they cooled. Instead of throwing them away I used them as ornaments. Now in the rooms were there are trees you have a nice air freshener.
The next day after the "ornaments" I made tasty and edible cookies using regular molasses, which I got the night before.
Here is page how they looked.

This is based on Frosted Designs sketch #30

Inspired #4

As I promised the card coming up was inspired by something else besides a jacket. This time it was a Christmas stocking that I saw on Pretty Little Studio's blog, which they pinned form pinterest.

Here is the card

I think I am addicted to hounds- tooth because I have more than five different colors in my stash. It is so classic, so I know it will never go out of style.

Inspired #2
