Welcome to the Jumpin June Bug Blog Hop

If you got here from Crystal's blog over at Crystals Crafty Creations, then you're in the right place.  If not, please click on the link below for Julie's starting post at her blog My Little Corner. 
 
Well, my other pics didn't post right so let's try again.  Instead of the beach pics, I've chosen to post a couple of my projects for the Red, White & Blue swap on the Cricut Message Board.  I sure hope my secret sister likes them.  I LOVE playing around with these colors!!  I come from a military family, so trust me when I say these colors are all around my house!!  Enjoy!
This is an altered notebook I made for her.


A close up of the flag "bling".  I love this bling and I had to get several for myself when I picked this up.


This is a mini album that I altered for her.  Hopefully she takes lots of pictures at the 4th of July and can put them in here.

Wrinkled altered compostion book swap

I'm in Kathy's altered composition book swap on the Cricut MB and this is the notebook I'm sending to my partner, Connelle.  I sure hope she likes it.  She likes the Linen Closet paper stack so I used some paper from that line and I also made a pencil for her.  I was worried it would fit in a sharpener so I did one for myself and tried it out.  It fit in my sharpener so hopefully she'll be able to sharpen it, lol.  I also made the pearl strand long enough for her to use it to mark her page and added a heart charm to the end of it.  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

This is the box I made for my partner, RockinRobin.  I sure hope she likes it.  I like the way it turned out.  I also made her two tags and a dangle charm.  This is my first charm.  What do you think?  Now all I have to do is put some goodies in it and send it off to it's new home.
