Upcoming Blog Hop

Yay!  I've been invited again to be part of the next Disney Pixar Blog Hop, so I better kick into gear!  Hope you can join us in September.  It's going to be an amazing showcase, without doubt, because of the talented bloggers they have invited. 

As I type, I'm getting nervous, because I don't have a project in mind (yikes)!  Any suggestions?  Any thoughts on a Disney Pixar project you would like to see? 

Hello Thursday

Don't forget to check out today's Hello Thursday, the second of three weekly releases of new cartridges this month.

There are six new full length cartridges announced today, and darn, they are good again!    Summer Celebrations, Autumn Celebrations, and Phrases are on my "have to have" (HTH) list already. 

I was really surprised to see the latest retirement list.  I realize I'm a bit overboard on the amount of Disney I scrap, but I use Mickey Font so often, even when I'm not working on Disney.  Retirement of the Mickey Font cart probably surprised me the most, but several of the others too:  Pooh Font, Cars, Happily Ever After, Tinkerbell & Friends, and Dinosaur Tracks.  Better grab them soon if any are on your HTH list. 

Have a great weekend everyone.  No scrapping for me as we're out of town again for a 16U baseball tourny.  As much as I love my scrapping time, I love watching my DS and his buddies play ball too!

"Chillin' Bug Hop" Chillin' = Doin' what you Love!

Welcome to the second weekend of BugBites first ever Bug Hop, Grillin’ & Chillin’ Bug Hop!  Thanks to Barb from BugBites for including me.  This weekend, June 4 - 6, the hop is all about Chillin’.

If you've come from visiting Peggy Sue, you're in the right place. If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our Grillin’ & Chillin’ Bug Hop, click here to start from the beginning.  Each designer is featuring a project based on the Chillin’ theme.

Interested in blog candy?!?  Can you use a new set of Cricut markers?  Leave me a comment and become a follower to be eligible.  If you're already a follower, just leave a comment.  Be sure to leave your contact info.  I'll do a random draw for the winner on Wednesday, June 8. 

Can you think of a better way to "chill" than to spend time doing what you love?  Whatever that is for you, reading, swimming, gardening, cuddling, cooking, dancing, shopping, I could go on and on.  I kept this layout super simple with a Spring/Summer color and floral and stripes pattern. 

 

 

You can participate by creating a project and linking it up over at BugBites for a chance to win a prize.  Your project must include at least one Cricut cut and at least one of the critters hidden within some of today's featured blogs. Be sure to visit all of them to find all your critter choices. 

Check out Shelly's blog next.  And remember, once you're through the hop,  create your project and link it to BugBites by Midnight CST June 6 for prize eligibility. Below is the line up for the weekend.

BugBites is hosting a blog hop, Grillin' & Chillin', over 2 weekends.  May 28 - 30, and June 4 - 6.  I'm happy to say I'll have a project in the June 4 - 6 hop.  Be sure to check out the hop on both weekends!

Cricut-tastic Award

It's a magical day!  Not only did I find out earlier that I won blog candy, but I received this "Cricut-tastic" award from Tiffany of Sparkled Memories.  I feel so lucky, and so grateful to Tiffany.  Be sure to check out her beautiful cards!

The award rules:   Your Blog has been deemed Cricut-tastic! Wear this Badge proudly on your Blog and share it with friends! Since Cricut is 5 years old and they have an E2 out, share this award with 10 people that you think have Cricut-tastic Blogs! You also have to tell 5 Cricut related things about yourself.

1.  I first purchased the baby bug, then purchased the E within just a couple of months.
2.  I can't remember the last layout where I didn't use my Cricut. 
3.  I'm totally addicted to Cricut Design Studio.
4.  I've only used my Gypsy one time (because I prefer DS)! 
5.  Regarding Cricut cartridges, there are no "wants", they are all "needs" :)


I'll be back in the next day or two to pass the Cricut-tastic Award to 10 blogger friends.  I need a little time to chirp this over :)

Overwhelming Gratitude to you all!

In a word, WOW!  Thanks to all of you so much for the amazing response to the Disney Pixar blog hop, the sweet comments that are truly convincing that my layouts are worthy of sharing, and choosing to become my followers.  You have all been so kind with your overwhelming comments.  Hugs to all of my new followers!

As promised, tonight I picked my blog candy winner using True Random Generator.  The winner is Anniebee, comment #54.  Anniebee has won a set of 12x12 Cricut mats, a set of Cricut markers, and a 6x6 pad of Stampin' Up! in color paper.  Congratulations Anniebee!  Please send me your address by Friday, May 6.  Thanks to Janelle, my Stampin' Up! demonstrator, for donating the Stampin' Up! paper stack.  Check out some of Janelle's great layouts, including a few Disney ones!

Holey smokes, Kim! I'm glad I had just refilled my coffee cup when I reached your blog! All of your layouts are spectacular! I have always regretted not going to one of the Disney parks when my son was young but we felt that private school was more important so we never had the money for a trip like that. You got some really great pictures! Just wonderful... all of it. And I looked at every single picture too! I'm so glad to have found you during this hop and I'm a follower now.

Disney Pixar Blog Hop -- Welcome to Day 2

If you arrived here from Jamie's blog, you're in the right place.  If you're here by chance, you should consider going back to the beginning of the Disney Pixar hop so you don't miss a single project!  I am so excited about being part of this.  This is my first, and because it's a Disney Pixar hop, coupled with this amazing group of talented crafters, it's uber cool! 

12x12 mats & markers



Today's blog candy: 

 6"x6" Stampin' Up! pad of current "in colors", (compliments of BFF and SU! demonstrator Janelle), Cricut mats (2), and a set of Cricut markers. 



6x6 Stampin' Up! In Color stack



Become a follower of my blog if you're not already, and leave me at least one comment today about my project, and  you're eligible.  It's so fun to hear from everyone, and the encouragement is motivating!   The winner will be random draw Monday evening. 

My project consists of layouts from our Disney Cruise (on the Magic) one year ago.  Once the blog hop is over, I will add details about each layout, but no details now, only so it doesn't take too long to get through the blog hop.  Hope you enjoy the layouts and find something inspiring on your scrapping journey . . .

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 The final stop on today's hop is with Melissa - of course her project is worth the wait :)   Here's today's entire lineup if you need to re-visit someone:
