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

I hope you will hop along with us and leave comments along the way. Forthe 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!

For the hop today, I've created a Jr. Legal Size Pad Cover.  I got my directions from The Stamp Doc.  She has a video walking you through the steps of making one of these little gems.  I made my flowers, the big puffy one was made by punch 8 scallops, spritzing with water and crumpling up each scallop. Open up each one and stack together.  Pierce a hole through all 8 layers and put in a brad.  Then starty from the top, scrunch up each layer until you have the look you want.  Let air dry and it will get hard.  I added some glitter to mine although it is hard to see in the pic.  For the little roses I used the Cricut cart: Flower Shoppe.  I rolled and glued my roses.  I also use the Martha Steward branch punch for my little "leaves".  Using My Creative Time's stamp set and die I stamped and cut out my sentiment.  Stamped a "postmark" Unique on the paper-I believe the set was Inkadoo from ACMoore.  The other "postmark" was already in the paper.  That's abou it.  This makes a nice little cover for your pads, looks pretty and is functional too.

I want to take the time to thank all of you for all the sweet comments, you all are so awesome!!  I'd also like to thank those of you who are now following me-you rock!  And to my good friend Suzanne-thank you so much for allowing me to share in your special one year anniversary hop!!  Love you sweet lady!!!
