Cricut Craftin Friend's Blog Hop

Cricut Craftin Friends Blog Hop 
Celebrating Cricut Craftin Grammys 1 year
Blogaversary!!!





We're so happy you could join us for this hop celebrating the one year blogaversary of Cricut Craftin Grammy. I have asked a few of my Cricut Messageboard friends as well as my Design Team friends (Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog, Lasting Memories and Sweet Sassy Diva ) to join her in this two day Blog Hop. The participants are allowed to share anything creative they wish to share using a Cricut (or other die cut machine if they do not have a Cricut.)

Overall Blog Candy!!!  Woo Hoo!!
I hope you will hop along with us and leave comments along the way. For the overall blog candy you need to leave a comment on each blog each day.
If you leave a comment on all the blogs both days your name will be entered into the Random drawing twice. The random winner will receive a $25 gift card from their choice of Michaels or Joanns.

This is a TWO-DAY hop, so be sure to check out both days so you don't miss any creativeness. Because there is a large number of participants I will give you until January 30th to post your comments for the two days of the blog hop.  Thanks for joining us!

Let's get hopping!! If you've hopped over from STACIA, then you are in the right place!! If you've just popped in to visit my blog or are reading this via email and you'd like to join our FUN, then please CLICK HERE to start at the beginning with Suzanne's Blog

For the hop today, I've created a Fun double page layout of my family and I Ice Skating for the 2nd time.

I followed a sketch from Sketch Support as my guide.  Love the end result.


Left Page...the snowflakes are from "Stretch Your Imagination" cart with some faux stitching added and some rhinestone centers for bling.

Right Page...the title is cut from "Once Upon a Princess" cart.  The Ice Skate is cut from the "Cheerful Seasons Cart."  I even laced the holes with Brown floss to mimic laces.  :-)

I am also entering my layout over at this week's Getting Scrappy Challenge - "Flurries of Fun" Need to create a layout that is Winter or Snow themed.


Supplies Used:
Stampin Up Cardstock - Kiwi Kiss, Not Quite Navy
Stampin' Up - Basic Rhinestones
My Mind's Eye Paper Pad - Christmas Kitsch
Cricut Carts-  Stretch Your Imagination, Once upon a Princess, Cheerful Seasons
We R Memory Keepers - Brown Floss


And since you have made it this far... what is a Blog Hop without some Blog Candy from moi??
How about this 4-pack of glitter glue by Martha Stewart??
Just leave a comment on this post for 1 entry.
Become a follower or tell me you already are a follower and leave me a 2nd comment for a 2nd entry.
Easy??  I think so.
I will draw a winner on Monday the 30th.
So Happy to have you visit!!  

Thank you again for checking out my project... Now hop to the next stop: ELIZABETH .
Remember to visit all the stops for MAXIMUM ideas and LOTS OF FUN!!
