type="html">&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;So it is finally Friday! &amp;nbsp;This week was killer and next week is already starting--lol! &amp;nbsp;Off to Vegas for a trade show next week so I have been busy making projects for next week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today is the first Fun Fold Friday and to kick it off I went back to my videos and found one of my most popular projects the exploding box. &amp;nbsp;I left all the embellishments off so you can see the base of the box.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NWyLMGQFqXw" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the coming weeks I will share cards, scrapbook layout out elements, and of course more boxes. &amp;nbsp;I will usually show a finished item and then do a generic how to video so you can see how to put it together with out having to fight a ton of embellishments or patterned paper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alright-last day to leave comments for the CTMH rock the block package for this week. &amp;nbsp;I am caught up on all the comments for the Imagine so keep them coming. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tonight is also a stamp release for Pink By Design--make sure to stop by the ustream tonight--all the details are on the website--&lt;a href="http://www.pinkbydesignstamps.com/"&gt;just click here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2315768578996255376-8619185984463381674?l=scrapguy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6761.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6761.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;It is simply an A2 card. &amp;nbsp;The stamp is from SU called Sweet Cake. &amp;nbsp;I heat embossed it and blotted the stamp before I put it to paper to give it a worn and tattered look. &amp;nbsp;Once the heating was done I took a Cotton Candy CTMH marker and colored over the distressed areas and the icing of the cupcake. &amp;nbsp;I stamped in HollyHock Red CTMH ink the sentiment from the same set. &amp;nbsp;A little bit of black gorssgrain ribbon and done. Simple right!?!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two more things--&lt;br /&gt;
I only have a couple of spots left in the Close to My Heart Club. &amp;nbsp;I have a lot planned and some great benifits--Let me know if you are needing more information casue I would like to get the order in next week and waiting to see if anyone is wanting to join the fun!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Secondly make sure to leave those comments on each post--I have spent all evening checking the blogs and posts to make sure you get your right amounts of entries--wow is it a lot of work! &amp;nbsp;There will be 6 posts this week--5 here on my blog and on at Pinkbydesignstamps.com from Tuesday about whoppers. &amp;nbsp;While you are over at PBD make sure you check out some of the other projects becasue the design team is UBER Talented!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alright Fridays I have a special treat in store--Fun Fold Fridays! &amp;nbsp;I will be sharing a fun fold card, box, scrapbook element every Friday with measurements and directions. &lt;br /&gt;
We will see you back here Friday and make sure to spread the word about the Imagine giveaway. &lt;br /&gt;
Make it a great one&lt;br /&gt;

Today I have a video that I did for a quick and easy project for the upcoming holiday of love--but you can easy change the sayings to fit coworkers, school classes and teachers, and all of your friends. &amp;nbsp;Not only do they get a fun fortune but a sweet treat&lt;/div&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5lFyp36Pg0k" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember to leave the comments everyday for both the weekly and this months Imagine give away. &lt;br /&gt;
If you don't have a blog or Facebook--don't fret you will have a chance to get more entries next week. &lt;br /&gt;
I have to say I am impressed with the response and so many of you have gotten props for pointing others here. &amp;nbsp;If we break 1500 followers by the give away I will also be giving away few more suprises!&lt;br /&gt;
Make it a great one&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
There will be the weekly stamp give away but I have a lot of stuff including some great CTMH product, an Art Philosophy Cartridge bundle, and even a.......drum roll please.......................&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad127/Angeldon6/contest/cricut_imagine3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="237" src="http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad127/Angeldon6/contest/cricut_imagine3.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Image from Provo Craft&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;That's right a Cricut Imagine!!!!!!!! &amp;nbsp;Starting right now every comment counts. &amp;nbsp;You have to be a follower to win but there are tons of extra chances. &amp;nbsp;The winner will be announced on Monday March 5th!!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;This weeks added candy is a Rock the Block set from CTMH--you could only get this stamp set with a qualifying purchase and I have one to give away--winner will be announced on Sunday! &amp;nbsp;It's a $45 value!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;So the early bird gets the worm--all comments today count as double. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;You can gain more entries by doing any of the following&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;posting my blog button on your blog 5 extra entries.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Doing a blog post about the relaunch and the give away 10 extra entries.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Make sure to either email me or post a link to your blog so I can check out the post and search for the button. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;If someone becomes a follower and lets me know that you pointed them to my blog you get 10 extra entries.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;This month is going to be fun--I will be posting everyday (god willing) something--projects, product reviews, videos of a haul--just lots of fun stuff. &amp;nbsp;I will also be talking about some of the new features that I will be adding to the blog over the next year! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6744.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6744.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The base of the card is cream card stock, layered with a mint green stock that I ran through the cuttlebug using the leaves folder. &amp;nbsp;I attached the chocolate satin ribbon before I layered the pattern paper to the card.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6747.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6747.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I did ink the edges of the mint green to give it a little definition. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6746.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6746.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The sentiment is a two parter; one for the outside one for the inside. &amp;nbsp;I used the Card Chatter-Sympathy (D1476) which is available in the just released Close To My Heart idea book. &amp;nbsp;I used the same layer pattern from the card base and stamped the sentiment in chocolate ink on white card stock. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6748.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6748.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Here is the inside and second half of the sentiment. &amp;nbsp;I always have a hard time with sympathy cards but find that if I keep it simple my results are always good. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for stopping by and make sure to leave those comments as there is another stamp give away this week. &amp;nbsp;Every day counts as well as comments on Pink by Design for Tuesday of this week. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next week starts the relaunch! &amp;nbsp;Some great blog candy to be had and many projects and videos to share so make it a habit to stop in for each new post!&lt;br /&gt;
Make it a great one-&lt;br /&gt;

I am so excited that today is the first day you are able to view the new Close to My Heart Idea book on line--&lt;a href="https://bryanwyatt.myctmh.com/Retail/Category.aspx?CatalogID=26"&gt;just click here to go to my website and see all the new products&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also wanted to share the February Stamp of the Month. &amp;nbsp;Almost all the stamps work back to the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge. &amp;nbsp;This awesome set can be yours for $5 with a $50 purchase or $17.95 on its own. &amp;nbsp;I you are a member of my CTMH Club you will get this and 5 other sets, $25 in free product, and a free stamp organizer worth $12.95, as well as other discounts and specials. &amp;nbsp;There are also special give aways only for club members. &amp;nbsp;I only have a few spots left and want to get them filled quickly--if you would like to be a part of this fun group please email me so I can get you all the info for the club. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Dibi72HtbfQ/TyivPvuRcmI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/rcSvpm6O-bs/s1600/feb+sotm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Dibi72HtbfQ/TyivPvuRcmI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/rcSvpm6O-bs/s400/feb+sotm.jpg" width="308" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I have been filming some of the new products and the first club kit for this go round and I will be sharing that with you all in the coming days. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because I have only a few more spots to fill the first there will be something extra for each of those that take the open spots!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Head on over to check out all the new products, papers, and embellishments--this is the best book yet!&lt;br /&gt;
Make it a great one-&lt;br /&gt;

It's Thursday and I am counting down to Friday.&amp;nbsp; Today will be very busy and filled with lots of emotion--more on that later.&amp;nbsp; If you have followed my blog of a while you will know that one of my secrets is KITS! Yes I admit I love me a good layout kit.&amp;nbsp; They are usually fast, all the bits and bobs are in one place, and you can spend more time on the personalization than the layout--cause the best part about a kit is putting your unique spin on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gda="true" height="213" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6748.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This fun kit is from &lt;a href="http://www.outonalimbscrapbooking.com/"&gt;Out on a Limb Scrapbooking&lt;/a&gt;--the kit only cost $6.00.&amp;nbsp; All the bits were cut and sized for the most part.&amp;nbsp; The kit included few instructions but a very clear picture.&amp;nbsp; At their sight they have tons of layout kits as well as a bunch of Chalk Ink colors for $1.99 and a ton of ideas!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6749.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gda="true" height="213" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6749.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Here is the left side page!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6754.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gda="true" height="213" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6754.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;And the right side of the layout--&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6750.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gda="true" height="213" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6750.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6752.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gda="true" height="213" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6752.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;So for the cupcakes I added some bling with glitter.&amp;nbsp; The top layer was sent through my zyron upside down and than glittered with MS gold glitter.&amp;nbsp; The under layer was prepped the same but I used a super fine clear glitter.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6753.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gda="true" height="213" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6753.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6751.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gda="true" height="213" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6751.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;So for the balloons, I used a PBD leopard background stamp (a two step stamp) for the pattern.&amp;nbsp; I first stamped the first layer in a like color tone to the paper.&amp;nbsp; Once dry I stamped the second layer with versa mark ink and than applied fine embossing powder and used my heat gun to set.&amp;nbsp; I love a good heat embossed accent. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6755.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gda="true" height="213" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6755.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;For the photo mats I wanted to make them pop a little so I inked the edges and sent them all through the cuttlebug with the same embossing folder.&amp;nbsp; One of the photo mats had a little bit of ribbon that was also supplied in the kit materials.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I hope you like the layout--and go check them out--they have TONS of fun layouts and if you like scrapbooking and are sort on time you can get a whole scrapbook for about $72 and say 10 hours of putting them all together--for a priceless gift or memory book--I think its a great deal!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Remember to leave those comments for your chance to win one of the CTMH stamp sets.&amp;nbsp; Today counts for double.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Make it a great one-﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2315768578996255376-2724825543273627274?l=scrapguy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I hate being sick. &amp;nbsp;Not back to 100% but I have to get back to work!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have a fun single page layout to share with you today. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6720.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6720.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The letters are from K&amp;amp;Company as are the papers used along the side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6722.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6722.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;As I arranged the letters I wanted to hide a message of sorts--so I used pop dots on the I, Love, U so that it stood out .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6724.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6724.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I used a distressing tool on the paper edges to give the pink and red papers a bit more of an edge. &amp;nbsp;I like how these papers with the rough edge and a black and white photo will tie together! &amp;nbsp;The photo could be holding hands, a kiss, the back of to heads a hug in shadow--the possibilities are endless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6721.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6721.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;So I used the Art Philosophy cartridge and the stamp set I gave away last week for the tickets. &amp;nbsp;The February ticket was heat embossed with ruby embossing powder and edged in black. &amp;nbsp;The journal ticket I used my own hand writing &amp;nbsp;and it says, "26 letter is all I have to tell you how much I love you!"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Leave the comments to ensure you get the best chance to win this weeks stamp giveaway. &amp;nbsp;Today there were two posts here on ScrapGuy and my post over at Pink By Design and those comments count as well! &amp;nbsp;Winner will be announced on Sunday along with a guide for the week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
make it a great one-&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6717.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6717.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was a super simple card and out of my comfort zone. &amp;nbsp;I have never just stamped a card but when I say the Mustaches set from Pink By Design I knew this was going to be one of the first cards I made.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6713-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6713-1.jpg" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I used the old standard Roy G Biv to get my color order, and I simply stamped on a white A2 card.&lt;br /&gt;
On the inside I used a punch from Fiskers (which I think I use way more than any other punch I own) and stamped the sentiment in blue. &amp;nbsp;Super Simple!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6715.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6715.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Orange and Grey are two of my most worn and purchased colors, and a great top note header and blog button. &amp;nbsp;Make sure you pick up the new button to the right--this will get you extra entries in the BIG February give aways.&lt;br /&gt;
Now TCBOTB (the cutest blog on the block) has back grounds you can get for free but they also offer a full service design and install. &amp;nbsp;I did the second as I am not computer savvy and the whole code thing I get lost on!&lt;br /&gt;
Let me know what you think.&lt;br /&gt;
I am home sick today with strep so I will be posting a project in a few hours so you can get even more chances to win the stamp set--I will also let you know which stamp set it is! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also want you to check out the 2012 Sketch Calendar from Scrapbook &amp;amp; Cards Today. &amp;nbsp;It is a great way to get at least 12 layouts done in a year. &amp;nbsp;It has 26 NEW sketches so you could get one layout every two weeks! This is perfect or the beginner to the advanced scrapbooker!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
So here is the winner of the Blog Candy&lt;br /&gt;

I want to share some great stamp sets that will come in handy as you track your year. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6699.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6699.jpg" width="213" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This set is from PINK BY DESIGN and is called It's a Date--I used this on the card from Tuesday. &amp;nbsp;If you have not tried PBD stamps you need to--I love them and bought many sets before I was on the design team--they stamp great from the moment you open the package.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6700.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6700.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This set is a CTMH stamp of the month set from last November and this weeks give away--each month has its own stamp and can be easily cut out or you can use the ticket cut from the Art Philosophy Cartridge and get a very cool look for your layouts and cards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6705.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6705.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This CTMH set is called Month by Month (C1425) and is available in the current idea book and can be found on line by clicking my store link to the right--while you are there check out another set called Save the Date. &amp;nbsp;That set has 80 stamps and comes in English, French, and Spanish!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6706.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6706.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This set I love--it is an older set from CTMH and is called Happy Holidays (D1431) Each holiday has a fun image and there are curved sentiments that go to each holiday. &amp;nbsp;You can find this set on ebay or ask you CTMH rep to see if they can get a hold of one for you. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6707.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6707.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This Festivities (D1321) set is also from CTMH. &amp;nbsp;I found this on on line from another rep. &amp;nbsp;I had never seen this one and loved the line drawings--I have a project next week to share using this set, my day timer, and light brown ink--you can make stamping part of every aspect of life if you try hard enough. LOL&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6708.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6708.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;CTMH also did a long term calendar set called Moments in Time (D1339) this one has all the months borders, symbols as well as the years from 2000-2015 so you can actually go back in time and use this stamp over and over and over. This one is not to old and your rep might be able to get their hands on this one pretty quick--this one you will get a lot of use out of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6710.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6710.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This set is an out of the box way of tracking the date--each stamp has a different shape and way of displaying the date. &amp;nbsp;CTMH did it again with this On this Day (D1468) It is not in the current idea book but was in the last one so there might still be a few floating around. &amp;nbsp;I use this one a lot!!&lt;br /&gt;
Last but not least---&lt;br /&gt;
January's stamp of the month is another great way to track the date--with a purchase of $50 you can get this set for $5 or alone it is $17.95&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;This set is ONLY available this month! &amp;nbsp;It has so many uses and can not wait to add this set to my collection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Remember to leave those comments for your chance to win. &amp;nbsp;There will be a weekly give away so spread the word and I am giving fair warning--Feb is going to be a good month for a number of you all--the blog candy is good!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
First of--in February I will be relaunching ScrapGuy with a new look as well as some pretty cool blog candies. &amp;nbsp;More to come on that!.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am also going to be giving away a Close To My Heart Stamp set each week. &amp;nbsp;Many of the sets are exclusives or Stamp of the Months that you can only get for a limited time. &amp;nbsp;The give aways start this week. &lt;br /&gt;
All you have to do is be a blog follower and make comments. &amp;nbsp;Simple right. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MORE LAYOUTS!!! I heard you loud and clear that you would like to see more layouts--I will do my best to show more layouts. &amp;nbsp;What type of layouts are you all most interested in seeing? Leave your answer in the comments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This weeks is all about Calendars! Starting with my post over on the Pink By Design Team Blog--once finished here head over there to get another chance to win the stamp set I am giving away this week. &lt;br /&gt;
The stamp set this week is a stamp of the month set from CTMH that you can use to track the year and all of the events it has in store. Here is a preview of my project on PBD&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6687.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6687.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So glad you all are such loyal followers--spread the word as everyone will want to be in on February's fun! &amp;nbsp;OK now head over to PBD and check out the project--&lt;a href="http://www.pinkbydesignstamps.com/"&gt;PINK BY DESIGN TEAM BLOG&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It's Christmas Eve and I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very wonderful and safe holiday season.  No matter what you celebrate remember that the gifts, the gatherings, and all the hustle and bustle are not what makes this holiday special.  Take a moment to enjoy the people and center on the true reason for the celebration.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you for making this blog experience rewarding.  Two years into this and it is still enjoyable. This is a wonderful community of paper crafters and I am so lucky to have been able to meet so many of you all. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have some exciting things planned for 2012 for the blog and myself and I am looking forward to sharing them with you all.  As I sign off for 2011 and headed on a much needed and over due vacation I want to say thank you one last time before the year ends.  May you be blessed this holiday season!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Make it a great one&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2315768578996255376-4202660658864495950?l=scrapguy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

So here is a step by step so bookmark this page as you will want to keep this one in your wheel house. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6599.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" rea="true" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6599.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;First off cut a pc of paper that is 11" long and 4 1/2" wide&lt;br /&gt;
Next score three times starting from the left hand side at 3", 5 1/2", and 8"&lt;br /&gt;
See the picture fore measurements. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6603.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" rea="true" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6603.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;on the outside of the card I applied red line tape as above.&amp;nbsp; I would suggest using the thinnest tape you have as you don't want the gift card to get stuck. Peel off the red line and ally the two center sections together. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6605.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" rea="true" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6605.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Next, open the card and trace the gift card shape onto the center section.&amp;nbsp; Once that is complete you are ready to cut out the traced portion&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6609.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" rea="true" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6609.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Once that is complete you can insert your gift card&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6611.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" rea="true" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6611.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;so you this is what it looks like laying flat, and standing up. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6612.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" rea="true" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN6612.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I told you this on was super simple.&amp;nbsp; I would love to see how you all use this in your gift giving-so please share a link in the comments. &lt;br /&gt;
If all goes well there will be another project on Friday!&lt;br /&gt;
Make it a great one-&lt;br /&gt;

Well today I have a gift wrap with cricut art philosophy cartridge.&amp;nbsp; I made this for my sister Heather--thus the H. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6582.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" oda="true" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/IMG_6582.jpg" width="213" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I got the can at Joann's and the paper is MAMBI Christmas pad. &lt;br /&gt;

Super simple and so much more fun than a wrapped package. &lt;br /&gt;
Hope you have a great weekend and check back on Sunday for a very fun and very cool 80's Birthday Blog Hop-&lt;br /&gt;

UGH so you all will have two post for Friday.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
OK on to the gift bag---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN5491.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" oda="true" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN5491.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;So i found this bag at Joannes and thought this would be perfect.&amp;nbsp; We don't usually get snow in Dallas this early and this year is no exception--not a flake in sight, which is why I think I love snowflakes now.&amp;nbsp; No clean up, no mess roads, just pretty glittery flakes on packages. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN5493.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" oda="true" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN5493.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;So this one is three layers.&amp;nbsp; I used the Cricut Snowflake Seasonal cartridge and cut the shadow and the top layer at 4 1/2"&amp;nbsp; for the white "black out" layer i just cut the shadow at 4&amp;nbsp;3/4".&amp;nbsp; I did find that there was a definite top and bottom to this cut which sort of made me crazy when I thought this was going to only take a few minutes.&amp;nbsp; Once I figured it out it went super fast.&amp;nbsp; I used some fun white glitter paper and a shimmer navy I had in my scrap bin.&amp;nbsp; I used a white/clear button for the center .&amp;nbsp; The to/from stamp is from PBD and the shape of the tag is a Fiskers punch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN5495.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" oda="true" src="http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/scrapguy_photos/DSCN5495.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;What I really love is the 3D effect of this gift tag.&amp;nbsp; I only attached the top layer in the center and the other two layers were stacked with foam squares.&amp;nbsp; I used some thin ribbon to attach it to the bag and once the gift is opened you can snip the ribbon a bit and have a great ornament for the tree.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tonight is the office holiday party with a tropical theme.&amp;nbsp; Its been raining here in Dallas for a couple of days so it should be interesting as there is sand and rain involved--LOL. I hope you are having a good week and we will see you back here on Friday!&lt;br /&gt;
Make it a great one&lt;br /&gt;
