Social [Media] ButterfliesBlog hop!

Hi!  Welcome to my blog.  This is my first time to join the Social [Media] Butterflies blog hop, and I'm super excited!  Here's how it works: on the 29th of each month, we will feature paper-crafting projects that center around a theme.  Each of the members of the blog hop is unique in their own interpretation of the theme.  Check out everyone's blog.  If you are one of my blog readers, start here at the Social Media Blog Hop Hub to follow the blog hop!  You can also find us on facebook, twitter, instagram, and other social media sites.  Search for the #SMBiGBlogHop hashtag to be inspired!

This month's theme was TIME.  I will admit, I struggled with this one.  I came up with many, many ways to use time, but none of them seemed good enough!  (Um, yeah, I'm a perfectionist!  I want my projects to be as good as the ladies on this hop!  I'm hoping that by being a part of this hop,  I will push myself outside of my comfort zone in order to make awesome projects!)  I decided to go with my most comfortable comfort zone: a card.  I started off as a scrapbooker, but when I was stressing about each layout, I moved to cards.  They were small canvases, and everyone seems to love them!  I decided, for my first hop, I would create something I was comfortable with! 

 

 

 I ended up with a masculine birthday card- something I often need, but don't have many of.  Trust me, I'm pretty sure I know exactly who this card will go to!  I stamped kraft paper with all the clock stamps I had.  I just made that random background.  Then, I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out my lettering and the brown matte to separate it from the card.  I added the little "Time to" section to complete my TIME theme.  Then I used pop dots of lift the title off the card.  I also added a small pennant at the bottom with my sentiment on it.  Simple, but effective.  I love the way it turned out!

I hope you enjoyed my card.  If you came from the other members of the blog hop, visit my blog soon to see what else I'm up to. 

I'm very honored to pass you on to the next member on this blog hop: Corrine!!  She is a wonderful paper-crater and is so sweet.  Visit her blog to see how she decided to interpret the theme!!
