Holly Jolly Blog Hop - Day2

Welcome back to day2 of our Holly Jolly Blog Hop. Thank you to all of you that came out to hop with us last night. I'm happy to see that you enjoyed day 1. I hope you are ready for more :)

Before I continue on, I want to remind you that you must hop along to every blog in order to qualify for the 3 Grand Prizes. Our Sponsors for the hop are Scrapadabadoo (a scrapping care package), Sarah Pink Cricut (a new holiday stamp set) and Always Crafting (the Mystery Prize-Peachy Keen Certificate).

You should be hoping over from Sandra's blog. Since I'm the last stop you can stay here and then loop around until you come back.

For my 2nd project, I decided to create a DVD cover. I know that during the holidays people like to send out newsletters to their friends and relatives. I decided that a DVD version of a newsletter would be a nice upgrade. So I will be creating a DVD for my sister. I will compile all videos and pictures of my niece and create a movie for her. This way she can have something to look back at in the future years.

Picture 2: For my main image I used this cutie from Twinkle Toes. I just realized that she has a big head. They all do, Lol. But they are still super cute!!! I drew the face in myself. I was going for a peachy keen look. I also used a couple of my Prismacolor Pencils to shade in her skin tone. From time to time I like to use my pencils on my cuts. I find that it can give it a new look. I made a mini tutorial on how you can use your color pencils with your cricut cuts here.  Other carts used were Lacy Labels, Mickey Font and Winter Frolic. The sentiment reads, "Sweet Memories".

I am the last stop on this hop. Tank you for hoping with us last night and this morning. I hope that you enjoyed our projects and walked away with plenty of new ideas for your holiday gifts. If you are interested in looking at a few more ideas, here are some projects I have worked on:

Altered Project, Bookmark, Gift Wrapping Ideas One and Two.

Remember: In order to qualify for the grand prizes you must leave bloggy love on every stop. You have until midnight Eastern Standard Time on Sunday 12/12. All winners will be announced on/or after Monday.

**For my personal blog candy of the day, I am offering 10 cuts from the Twinkle Toes cartridge. You don't have to be a follower but I would love it if you would be. I have plenty of projects I would love to share with you. Im hoping to have another project for you tomorrow.
