Paper Playtime Ch# 66 & Blog Hop - Anything Goes

Welcome to Paper Playtime's 5th Monday Challenge!
The first Monday of every month is always a Cricut Challenge with various themes.
The third Monday of every month is always a Sentiment Challenge with various themes (and you don't have to use your Cricut or you can if you want to).
When there are months with a 5th Monday, we like to do an ANYTHING GOES challenge for 1 week only and a Blog Hop just for fun!

For Ch#66: Anything Goes!
Make any type of project (no back links to previously posted projects).
Crop Stop is sponsoring with a $15 Gift Certificate to their store!
AND... some of the hops along the way (just 7 stops including me) are also offering CANDY, so be sure to visit us all and leave comments on each hop stop.

You should have arrived here from Sharon - Mee Mee's Creations.
If not, start at Paper Playtime.
Here's the list of the entire hop:
Paper Playtime
Mary - Cardz TV
Sharon - Mee Mee's Creations
Lynn - Boots and Bling Time (You are HERE!)
Amy - Papertrails Leaver
Heather - Princess' Paper Projects
Maria - Joyful Stamper
Janis - Pause Dream Enjoy


Here's my fun, quick, EASY mini album I made.









Hope you like my little mini birthday album!
I used the Cricut cartridge, NIFTY FIFTIES, for all the die cuts....


...except the frame which is a cut from STAND & SALUTE.


Several of the pages and layers are dry embossed with the Cuttlebug.


All of the papers and stickers are from Echo Park's HAPPY DAYS paper collection pack.


All sentiment stamps are from Mary's Cardz TV Stamps "Make A Wish" set.


Details for this album are quite lengthy, so I didn't post it here. If you'd like all the details to make an album like this yourself, just shoot me an email, and I'll get them right out to you.

bootsandbling@gmail.com

What is a bloghop without candy?  To celebrate, I will be giving away to one lucky winner the   Mary's Cardz TV Stamps  "Make A Wish Stamp" Set.  It will be just like the one I used for this mini, only it will be brand new!
All you need to do to be entered to win is become a follower and leave a comment!

Hop over to Paper Playtime and play along in the challenge with us. Don't forget to visit the Design Team and for the Blog Hop and a chance to win some great CANDY!
