FIF Blog Hop & Giveaways - Birthday Bash Projects

Welcome to the Flaunt it Friday's Birthday Bash Blog Hop!  If you came here from Sheandra's site you are in the right place.  If this is your first stop and would like to start at the beginning head on over to the Flaunt it Friday's blog.  For this blog hop we are to make the bunny on the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge and one other project from the same cartridge.  I made this bunny on an earlier project this week so I wanted to make sure it was different looking.  My previous project was very Easter-y and girly  so I changed the colors to make this card for a boy.


For my next project I created a bookmark.  I'm going to give this to my nephew, hoping to get him to read more.  :)  He's reading his first, on his own, book right now.  So need to encourage!


How I made the background paper on the bookmark was using the dots stamp from the My Pink Stampers Simply Sweet Occasions stamp set, inked it w/ Versamark ink and just stamped all over.  Easy background designer paper.  :)

For my blog giveaway I am giving away these adorable Petaloo flowers.  I'll also include a little something extra, a surprise, for you.


To be eligible to win please leave 1 comment on this post with a way to get a hold of you.  You don't have to be a follower to win but I don't mind if you want to be a follower.  :)  You can leave a message for this giveaway until Sunday, March 20th, 10pm MST.  I'll announce the winner on Monday, March 21st.

Thanks so much for participating in the hop with me!  Your next stop is Stacey.

This is so super cute! I love the bookmark and I love that you are encouraging to read it is so important! Boys are harder to encourage for some reason it is just not so cool for them to read or so they think I am hoping that my boys take an interest in reading since I am such a reader and I try and read to them as often as I can! TFS

I absolutely love your boy bunny card (and I love to see twine on a card.... since I do not own any twine myself)! The bookmark is super cool, my youngest son would love that!

I love seeing boy creations, since I only have boys & my family pretty much only produces boys, lol!

Pam!! I love BOTH your card and your bookmark. I also love that you did a boy Birthday Card. You make it look so easy to do a boy card. I think that way you wrapped the twine around the package is so darn cute!! The bookmark is such a great idea to encourage your nephew to read!!! Thank you so much for your comments on my blog about the birdhouse and the heads up that I didn't have the right link. I really appreciate it!! Have a terrific day! XOXO, Julie. :0)
