Welcome back!
If you are arriving here from Tracy @ Craft Junkie Too then you are in the right place. If you have just happened along my blog and would like to start at the beginning then click here. On this blog hop you are going to see anything and everything that has to do with bake sales. Get ready to get some great ideas!

Today I am sharing with you something that I am reposting. If you have been a long, long time follower or have gone back through ALL my posts you may have seen it. It was one of the first projects I ever posted.

Here is the orginial post:
My Mom was hosting a benefit bake sale last weekend. Not only did I make some yummy banana chocolate chip muffins I also made this sign for the front of the table! I used the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge (pg 73). I cut the Doll out using the fit to page feature on the Cricut Expression with the 12x12 paper. I can't remember what size she was cut at. Just remember to peek while you are doing it so you can cut all her pieces out at the same size. The letters were cut at 9". I've had both the Paper Doll carts for a long time but have just recently really began to play with them. I forgot I bought them because they were so darn cute!

Bake Sale Blog Hop

Welcome to day one of the Bake Sale Blog Hop,

If you are arriving here from Tracy @ Craft Junkie Too then you are in the right place. If you have just happened along my blog and would like to start at the beginning then click here. On this blog hop you are going to see anything and everything that has to do with bake sales. Get ready to get some great ideas!

The project that I made to share with you is a recipe book that I made out of a notebook I bought at the dollar store. I have made these in the past for gifts. I also sew and usually give it with a homemade reversible apron. They are always very well received! I have one that I use to record only my favourite recipes in that I go to often. I like the idea of all of my favourites in one handy place. I also think it will be neat to someday pass this well worn book on.

My Creative Time Challenge

Hello Crafters,
Emma has a great challenge currently running on her blog Creative Time For Me. It is to use the paper dolls cartridges. I just love these cartridges. Yes, there are many layers but they are an awesome way to use up those teenie tiny scraps that I hope other people keep too lol. Here is my entry into the challenge:

Recipe:

A2 size base

Happy Birthday Cuttlebug embossing folder

Base - Recollections cardstock

All other cardstock and patterned paper from scrap pile 

Peachy Keen face stamps

Bling and ribbon - Dollarama

Glitter Glue (on ice cream)

Pink by Design Stamps - sentiment

Christmas Cards

Here are a few more of the Christmas cards I made in October. I used paper dolls, create a critter and stretch your imagination. All the patterned papers were from DCWV Christmas stack from last year.

Paper Playtime Challenge

Hello Crafters,
I was so excited when I saw the theme for this weeks challenge on Paper Playtime. The theme is 'you rock!' I made a card a while back that had a rocker chick on the front and the saying 'u rock' and loved it! I gave it away and a couple times since had wanted that same card again to give. I decided now was the time to make a new one to have on hand. I used different colours this time and a bit of a different layout and honestly, I think I like this one even more! It might be a keeper lol. Come on I can't be the only one with a pile of cards that are so adorable that parting with them would be just wrong, can I?!
Thanks for checking out my creation and happy crafting!
Tara

Recipe:

Card base (A2 size): Yellow Recollections

Black mat: Recollections

All other card stock from my scrap pile

Cricut Cut: Everyday Paper Dolls (I think she is 2.5)

U rock frame: Ashlyn's Alphabet

Ribbon: Offray

Stamps: Michaels dollar bin one set had a bunch that said things like rock band, rock on, etc. and the 'U' was from an entire set of just 'U's. (weird I know but honestly I have used them a lot)!

I also used my cuttle bug with the divine swirls folder on her guitar

Paper Cutz Challenge

Hello Crafters,
I have made a card for the Paper Cutz Challenge blog. The challenge there was to make a card using 1 ribbon, 2 buttons and 3 colours. I find the only 3 colours thing challenging and you might notice just a couple dots of another colour but I really needed my alien to have a little spunk!
Happy Crafting!
Tara

Recipe:

Paper -  blue and white from 8.5 x 11 Recollections

green stripes from pressed petals paper pad

green for alien from sonburn cool colours green pack

Ribbon - offray

Buttons - from my stash

Sentiment - from the printer 

Alien - cut from Everyday Paper Dolls pg 65 I can't remember for sure but I think I cut him @ 3.5

Grad Card / Momo's Challenge (June 8)

This is a graduation card that I made for my brother. He was just finished his Bachelor of Business at Acadia University. I am a proud older sister! This was the first male card that I have created it was hard because I really wanted to add just a bit of ribbon or a touch of bling. I find cards look more finished with that something extra. For this once I refrained from the fluff!

My Mom was hosting a benefit bake sale last weekend. Not only did I make some yummy banana chocolate chip muffins I also made this sign for the front of the table! I used the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge (pg 73). I cut the Doll out using the fit to page feature on the Cricut Expression with the 12x12 paper. I can't remember what size she was cut at.

MPS Fathers Day Challenge

I hope this is not too late but even if it is I still had fun making it.... all my cuts were made totally from scraps, that is what I love about the paper dolls cartridges(Pg 54) I made this card for my daddy! Now I can't wait to give it to him! Good luck everyone! :)
