Thankful Thursday ~ Pirate Theme

Hey everyone! Welcome back for another Thankful Thursday Design Team project. This week we were to make a project with a pirate theme. This one took me a while to come up with an idea. I finally decided to take some pirate-themed scrapbook paper and cover some chipboard and then I used my Bind-It-All to turn it into a little mini notebook for my son. I decorated the front by cutting out a little pirate ship from some pirate-themed scrapbook paper and placed it on the front using pop dots. I also added some glossy accents to the waves to make them look watery. It turned out pretty good I think. Here are some pictures.

Okay, now it's your turn. Go on over to Crazy About Cricut and enter a project of your own with a pirate theme. Thanks for stopping by and I have to let you know that this Friday and Saturday, my mom and I are off to the Mall of America for ScrapFest 2011! I can't wait! It's my favorite time of year, even more than Christmas! :)

All American Blog Hop

Hi Everybody!

Hopefully you just came from visiting Jen at http://www.mccalleyhouse.blogspot.com/. If not, please head over to see Jenny at http://www.crazyaboutcricut.blogspot.com to start from the beginning.

Thank you for joining us for the All American Blog hop! We are sharing projects that celebrate anything American! So anything like BBQ's, family picnics, 4th of July, or more. Here's the project I made to share with you today.

I made a mini Fourth of July windsock. I used two different kinds of patterned paper from The Paper Studio All Seasons Paper Pack, red streamers, white streamers, blue streamers, yarn and some Stickles. I used the Stickles on the white fireworks on the blue paper, but it's kind of hard to tell in the picture. I used the yarn to hang it up with. My son has decided he wants it in his room. I guess he likes it. :)

There are a couple of GREAT prizes to win today!

You can win a Scrap 'n Tote!!
