Halloween Boo-Log Party Details

Hi CJToo Friends....

Who's in the mood for a Halloween Party? Anyone?

How about a Halloween Boo-Log Party with prizes?
I thought that would get your attention. LOL Ü

I have some super duper details to give you.

Here is how my Halloween Boo-Log Party will go...

Party Kick off (begin time): 10:00 am CST (Central Standard Time) ~ I am in Texas - USA

Party Wrap Up (end time): 1:00 pm CST (Central Standard Time)

That's 3 full hours of CraftJunkieToo video's, tutorials, treats and prize give-aways.

I will be online in my chatter's box chit chatting away with any and everyone who stops by. I will be offering some prizes and getting to know my followers, guests and passers by a little better.

I understand that everyone is super busy so if you are unable to make the party I will be giving away at least one (or maybe several) prizes to those who were unable to make the party. I will be posting those prizes seperately so you are clear as to which ones you can enter to win.

Now, for my party guests, I will be offering prizes throughout the entire 3 hours. Yes, you have to be present to win some but not all. I will be posting some games, rules and how to enter to win the particular prize as we go along. If you are unable to stay the entire 3 hours - no problem I appreciate you stopping by and will give you chances to win.

I am doing this because I love crafting, scrapping, blogging, and like to be involved with my followers and visitors of my blog. You ROCK!

Still more to come...I will post the agenda and some of the prizes I will be offering and giving away.

GRAND PRIZE
I will be giving away an Everyday Paper Dolls cricut cartridge (donated by Provo Craft) at 1:00 pm CST. You will need to leave a comment on the post I assign for your chance to win. I will be assigning that post as the Grand Prize Post with instructions on entering. I will close the drawing for the Grand Prize at 2:00 pm CST so everyone will have 1 hour to post their chance to win the Grand Prize.

These are just a few of the details more to come tomorrow.....

Your Boo-Log Party Host...
Tracy

Simple Gypsy Pumpkins & Video #46

Here is my first project showing you a very basic idea of what you can expect from the Gypsy (through my eyes of crafting). If you are unsure if you'd like to purchase a Gypsy, wondering if it is for you, then maybe I can shed a little light on some of your questions and hesitation. I absolutely love mine and it's become my "go to" gadget that the thought crossed my mind "how did I survive without my Gypsy???" LOL!

In this video tutorial I will show you a few pumpkins from the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge, how they look on the Gypsy screen and how they cut on the cricut mat.

If you have additional questions - let me know.

Hugs,
Tracy

p.s. ~ I love reading all of your comments...thanks so much for letting me know you were here.






This is what it looks like on the mat....

October 31st Scrapbook Page & Video #41

I am super excited to bring you a project using the new Cricut cartridge, Designer's Calendar.

This is a simple and cute scrapbook page that you can use for an invitation, picture, several pictures, etc. I started with a 12 x 12 piece of pattern paper from the Debbie Mumm Harvest & Holiday paper stack (found at Joann's Fabrics and Crafts), orange cardstock, studio G stamps, and the 31 is from the Designer's Calendar "rounded" function key cut at 2 1/2".

Super fun to make and share with all of you.

Thanks for watching...enjoy!

Hugs & Kisses for Treats & Video #45

Hi everyone....here is my Hugs & Kisses for Treats little goodies.

Super simple, super cute, super special and just super yummy.

I start with a coffee filter and put 2 kisses and 2 hugs (Hershey's candy) inside, tie a cute ribbon, the Hugs and Kisses stamp is from the stamp set Handwritten Notes from www.PaperTreyInk.com. I just love that stamp set and use it often. The tag is a 1 1/2" scallop circle punch.

I hope you've enjoyed all of my halloween goodie treats for you the last week. I really enjoyed creating them and showing you all how I put them together. Thanks for hanging out with me.

Hugs.....xoxo
Tracy

Let's Talk Adhesives ~ Video #36

.
The adhesive you choose to use for your scrapbooking and card making projects is just as important as the pictures and embellishments. In this video I go through the adhesives I have, my thoughts and give you some ideas of what is on the market today for us. This is strictly CraftJunkieToo's opinion.....Ü



When shopping for adhesives always remember to look for acid-free and this is why?

Acid Free
What Is Acid-Free—and Why Does It Matter?
If an acidic product comes into contact with paper, photos, textiles or other similar items, the acid can migrate, causing permanent damage and decay. This is why it is so very important to use good quality Acid Free and archival materials for the preservation of your treasured memories.

Storage in archival products will slow the aging process and add years of life to the items you value. It is better to prevent damage and deterioration, than try to repair or correct it.

If you don’t use true acid free materials you will find that your artefacts ,papers and photos may discolour or disintegrate more quickly than they would naturally.

For the storage of photo’s you additionally need to check that the materials you use are photo-safe or have passed the PAT test .
