CC&M Blog Fall Hop

Hi blog hoppers! Wasn't Holly's project FABULOUS? If you didn't arrive here from the Creative Cuts and More Blog, you don't want to miss what our whole DT has in store for you! The Creative Cuts and More Blog Hop starts at Die Cut Diva.

Don't forget to follow the directions from Die Cut Diva's blog, because you have a chance to win a FALL ALL OCCASIONS CARD KIT. Plus you will also get a 15% discount off any orders for one week. (make sure you check out the fine print over at Die Cut Diva) Again the Coupon Code is: Octbloghop1509.

Here we go... for my projects I used Creative Cuts and More's newest die the convertibles box. This cute little box is the perfect size for a large cookie or a nice necklace or bracelet. The great thing about this box is that the window in the lid comes in a variety of fun shapes!



This fun little Chair Box (in Almond Cream) which is used for a name card holder works great not only for Thanksgiving, but any occasion!

Both of my projects were stamped with the "Weathered" back ground stamp from SU as well as "Favorite Occasions" stamp set from JustRite. I added Creative Cuts and More's small Turkey die which was cut from Chocolate Creme to both projects with a ribbon and of course some of Creative Cuts and More's Killer Red sticky tape to hold everything together. Seriously CC&M's Killer Red tape is the best and the least expensive you will find! SO...voila easy Thanksgiving table setting favors!

The Creative Cuts and More Design Team is hooking up with the Caardvarks Crew for a super fun mega 3 day event, so be on the look out for that the beginning of November 1, 2 & 3rd.

Also the Creative Cuts and More design team and some famous bloggers will be treating you to a cookbook 2 day Mega Blog Hop November 9th & 10th!

Baby Shower...on the farm

Thought I would share a custom order cake I made a couple of weeks ago. This cake was for a baby shower and you guessed it, the them "Farm Animals". The couple having their first baby both grew up on farms in Iowa, so it was fun to do something so personal. I loved making this cake and was almost sad to ship it out, but from what I heard the cake was a huge success and everyone loved taking a slice home as a favor. That makes all the work put into it so worth it!
Thanks Megan for your custom order!

Thanks for stopping by,
Pam
