Day 3 - Caardvarks with Creative Cuts and More Blog Hop
I KNOW you’ve enjoyed the eye candy - and hopefully you’ve left a little love (comments) along the way during the past three days of the Caardvarks and Creative Cuts & More Holiday Blog Hop - sure to inspire and get your creative juices flowing and in the festive mood for the upcoming Holidays. If you have reached my blog from Kayla Dupont then you are on track - if not you want to start at the beginning - Caardvarks - you won’t want to miss any eye candy and there are some blogs that have candy being given away… Today’s theme is “Centerpieces, Home Decor, and Ornaments”. I decided for my project to get started with some tablescape - CHEERS!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! - - I know, I know…… but it really is right around the corner.
Imagine (cause I can’t fit all this in my photobooth - nor do I put burning candles or anything liquid in there…..ask me why???) this placemat done several times and scattered around on tables, with some gold taper candles, flower centerpiece, beverages, and finger foods and a whole group of friends and family!! What a fun way to ring in the NEW YEAR using rich jewel tones and just the right amount of glitz (This metallic paper is the highest quality having just the right amount of shimmer, yet smooth for stamping on). Details: placemat is a circle-scallop mini 11 1/2″ die cut in Metallic Mars Stardream cardstock; Candy boxes die cut in Metallic Mars, Ruby (looks like a deep plum color), and Opal; confetti die cut in the same papers (All paper die cuts from Creative Cuts & More); Rubber stamps: “Cheers” (Our Craft Lounge); Ink: VersaMark; Embossing Powder: Gold Glory (SU); gold metallic cording round out the project.
Just a couple of other quick notes before you head to your next eye candy stop. Leave a comment on my blog for your chance to win BLOG CANDY offered at the end of the three days - BLOG CANDY offered from my site will be a package of goodies from Creative Cuts & More. Come back tomorrow for another Holiday challenge. Don’t forget to mark your calendars for a MEGA RECIPE BOOK BLOG HOP sponsored by Creative Cuts & More - starts Nov 9th-10th. Your next stop will be Lindsay Weirich. While you’re cruising through - be sure while at the Creative Cuts & More site you sign up for the Newsletter, and lastly at the end be sure to leave your comment at Caardvarks. I hope you’ve enjoyed the past three days hop….. Enjoy and Create, Lila

Great idea! So Why do you not put candles or liquids in your photo-booth? You have to share the laughter.

Your candy boxes turned out really cute. I have to say though, it is a little depressing to know that New Year’s is right around the corner. Where did this year go? Thanks for sharing your fantastic projects this week.
