What's up? and Blog Candy!

Well, we have been struggling with computer issues. I now have to retrieve photos from somewhere (I think my hubby hid them...hee-hee!) and have to go off to find them. I also need to go in search of a different keyboard for our computer, as ours DIED. (Electronic technology lives a very short life at our house.) We currently have two computers and only one keyboard. I am tellin' ya'...if I have to hear the kis ask one more time about playing on the computer and me having to explain that I am using their keyboard, I might just keel over. ugh.

I do want to tell you about a blogger that is giving away some yummy blog candy. (Think cupcakes!) Hop on over to Kim's blog and leave a comment for a chance to win!

Also, check back here in the next day or two for some more pictures. I am trying to get a new album done so that I can enter the design team call for Cosmo Cricket. That is, if the computer cooperates at all!

Not a Secret anymore!!

Hey there Peeps! Well, it’s time to let you in on the little secret I ‘ve been keeping!! First, my blog (yep, the one your are looking at!!) is part of a blog hop!! So, welcome to all those people who have hopped on over from Diecut Diva. (In fact, if you are just stopping by Gemstone Creations, you’ll want to hop on over there first…just to get the whole “effect”. You don’t want to miss out on any good stuff!!!) The Creative Cuts and More Blog Hop officially starts at Diecut Diva’s blog. Check her out, she always has super stuff going on over there!


So, here is a little peek at my project for the Blog Hop. Since our theme is Weddings…well, my project is a dress box. It’s diecut from smooth white cardstock and was so easy to put together. And of course, we couldn’t leave the little thing “naked”, now could we?? I used a stamp from “In the Garden” by Fancy Pants and stamped the front and back of the dress with Versamark. Then I embossed it with gold embossing powder. I also dug out some ribbon and bling bling. (Pink pearls by Mark Richards and rhinestones by Hero Arts.) I also added some Hottie Pink Shimmerz. (Just a touch!) Also, to keep those boxes held together…try out the Red Line tape. Check it out here.

I know the theme here is wedding, but these little favor boxes could be diecut out of a multitude of papers. (And Terry over at Creative Cuts and more has a BUNCH of choices.) and would make great favor boxes for Princess Birthday parties or even something for prom.

Now since you have all been so patient…I do want to tell you that because you are hopping along and participating in our Blog Hop…Terry has offered up some Blog Candy for me to give away. (She is one generous woman!!) . Hummm…..do you want to know what Terry is letting me give away?? How about a chipboard 4x4 album!!! Yep…that includes dividers, covers and pages. Also, included with that will be a 6x6 album too!! Which also includes covers, dividers and pages. They are fab!!! And one lucky person will receive both of them!!! So just leave me a comment and tell me the best idea you have for a mini album idea, and I will randomly choose one person to receive this fabulous gift from Creative Cuts and More. Comments will close at 11:59 p.m. (MST)on Thursday, March 5.

Also, be sure to check back this week at the Diecut Diva blog, as there will be a new Customer Challenge posted later in the week. Who would want to miss that?? Now, to check out more projects and prizes….hop on over to Carla's blog.
