Nicole's Fierce, Fabulous and Forty Blog Hop

Welcome all to Nicole's FIERCE, FABULOUS AND FORTY Blog Hop. There are so many talented ladies joining the party. The wonderful women in this hop were asked to make anything related to the theme - cards, banners, scrap layouts, posters, bulletin boards, magnets, crafty knick-knacks, bookmarks, home decor and accents and so on and so on <G>.

Now let's get on with the festivities! If you came from Ashley then you are on the right track. If you want to start from the beginning, please hop on over to Nicole's Blog (http://crashingcreatively.blogspot.com/). Here is the complete hopping list just in case you get lost:

Now for my project, I had made a little photo book for Nicole to either put pictures of her and her family or her craft projects.










Recipe:



  • I folded 12 x 12 pieces of paper in half with gluing the outside side together with punching holes on the other side
  • I used my Make the Cut for the "& 40" and "Happy Birthday" in black paper using the font "vijaya"
  • The prismatic crown was cut using the Summer in Paris Cricut cartridge - hadn't used this cartridge before and now is one of my favs!
  • Using the Forever Young Cricut cartridge, I cut the "fierce", "fabulous", "creative", and "designer" also using my black paper cut at various sizes
  • Also, using the Forever Young Cricut cartridge, I cut the mannequins out of hologram paper in the pink with the mannequins being cut 4.5 inches tall.
  • Binder rings were used to hold the pages together with various ribbons tied onto the binder rings.
Nicole, hope you enjoy your birthday book as it will be coming in the mail!

Now, I do have some blog candy for your pleasure - I have 3 sheets of hologram paper in red, turquoise, and purple which is fantastic to use as it not only shiney but has a paper adhesive on the back to remove to stick on your projects. This paper is 8.5 x 11-inches!!!! I loved to use this paper and hope you liked it along with Nicole!!! I'm looking forward to making Christmas ornaments using this paper as it comes in a multitude of colors along with designs and cuts easily on the Cricut using the medium setting. All you need to do to be the lucky candy winner is to be sure to leave you name, would love for you to become one of my followers, and would need to know a way to get in touch with you.....




Now your next stop on this hop is the fabulously creative Lynda!!! Happy hopping!

Thanks for stopping and hoped your enjoyed my project!

God Bless
Hugs and Love,
Lynne
