Good Monday Morning to you! I hope you had a fabulous weekend!

Recently I was lucky enough to be able to purchase a Cuttlebug. I’ve always admired everyone’s embossed projects, & wished that I could do the same. Since I didn’t have an embossing machine, I was getting tips from people to wet my paper, use everyday household items to put on the paper, then stand on it, or put heavy books on it, & other crazy ideas like that. I would just laugh, but never tried any of those outlandish ideas. So, when the opportunity presented itself to finally get my Cuttlebug, I pounced. I only have a few folders, but boy is it fun & easy, & the embossed images just add that little extra touch.

I have been playing with my Cuttlebug like crazy & just seeing what I can do with it. Here are 2 cards that I embossed then I lightly sanded over top to let the images stand out just a little bit more.

And, yes, below is a Mother’s Day card. I haven’t seen my mom yet, & will see her this weekend. I did not sand this one, just left it as is.

Do you have any kind of embossing tool? If so, what kind of things do you do with it? Do you make cards, images, put them on your layouts? Whatever you do with it, please head on over to the forum & share with us what you like to do.

Thanks for looking & have a great week!

Red Carpet Studio ABC Random Blog Hop

Welcome to the ABC Ransom Blog Hop,  hosted by  Red Carpet Studio !   If you've come from Stephanie J's  blog, you're in the right place. The Red Carpet Studio designers thought it would be fun to host a mystery blog hop while showcasing projects that can be made using all those leftover letters in your stash - hence where the "ransom" comes in. Ransom notes play a huge role in mystery/suspense films, and are often created out of random letters cut from magazines, newspapers, etc. in order to disguise handwriting.  While we won't be doing any kidnapping or holding anybody ransom today - we do have some creative projects to share with you! For my project using leftover letters in my stash, I created...   I used letters from a leftover Thickers pack, & used them to frame around the girls picture. I just randomly placed them to form the frame.  I used Basic Grey paper, & embellishments, & some random buttons & o
