Blog Hop Day 1 January 27



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.)   I want to give a super big thank you to all the wonderful ladies who are participating and helping me celebrate.  Also a Big Big thank you to Amy Voltz who has helped me get everything together and made my darling blog hop button.
Overall Blog Candy 
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.  Many of the bloggers will be giving blog candy on their blogs so make sure to read their directions to enter their drawings.
Thanks for joining us!
So let's get hopping!! This is the beginning of the hop with Suzanne's Blog  so welcome and let's get hopping.

For the hop today, I've created .......I used the monthly DCWV sketch for this layout and am entering it in the January stackaholic sketch challenge. Everything on these pages except for the pictures and the piece of twine came from the DCWV Heirloom Stack.  I inked the edges with Quick Quotes chalk.  The words Family, sweet and the xoxo were from a page of tags in the stack.  I glued these to a piece of chipboard, cut them out and inked them.  I used Elegant Edges for the Scalloped squares for the banner.

Again all the words came from a page in the DCWV Heirloom stack.  I cut "You make me Happy" into pieces.  
Closeup of banner.  

Here is the DCWV sketch.  



Thank you again for checking out my project...  Now below you will find the project my Cricut Message board friend  Cindy made to  help me celebrate.  Cindy doesn't have a blog so I am posting it here on my blog.  I hope you will leave her some blog love too.  This is Cindy's A2 card:

The background paper is K and Company:  Susan Winget Nature Stack
The Packages are cut from Celebrations, Christmas Cheer, Doodlecharms, 
Gypsy Wanderings and Jolly Holidays. 
Happy Birthday Stamp:  Close to My Heart Celebration Stamp SEt
Package Papers:  Assorted Papers that I have in my stash
Cuttlebug folders used:  Swiss Dots, Candy Cane, Moroccan Screen, 
and one more that I can't remember the name.  
 

So now you can leaver your comments for Cindy and I then follow the links below
