I'm the last stop. You should have come from Karey's Blog, If not you might have gotten lost and wish to start from the beginning with Kat's Blog. The lineup is also posted at the end this post.
For my project, I really wanted to use the Popup Neighborhood Cartridge that I won from Erica. My page started out as a pink and purple store with a cute little Cricut head I created using Cricut Craft Room. And then what usually happens, happened, I couldn't find a piece of paper to match. I spent a crazy amount of time in Joann's and didn't find anything.....except for the cutest little penguin sitting on a piece of paper with cute little snowmen and santas. So, I decided to make a Christmas store for my layout.
I made the store like a card and a put a photo of the prizes I had won along with a note for Erica. All of the pages are being placed in an album for Erica.
Now I must say thanks to this great group of ladies who helped put this album and hop together. During the past couple of days I have said many times I don't know how Erica does all this stuff. But I am really glad that she does because since finding My Cricut Craftroom on Facebook, I have become a better paper crafter. With her blog she provides daily inspiration and a place for crafters, like myself to display our work; U stream videos that are not scripted, perhaps that is why they are so much fun and have been extremely helpful, and I don't want to forget what she does for others; Cards for Operation Write Home and Project Sunshine and Smiles cards for Kids at St Jude's hospital.
I know how much time and work Erica puts in all of this and I just want to say Thanks Erica! I know you enjoy doing all of it and then you do even more with all the prizes you give away! I appreciate it, I know all the ladies who worked with me on this appreciate it, and I just hope everyone who has hopped with us today appreciates all your hard work as well.
I couldn't decide what to do for blog candy and finally decided another way to say thanks is to support Erica's store. I was hoping that gift certificates would be available but they are not so what I am doing is a $10 credit to her store. (I will paypal that to Erica when I announce the winner) To enter, I would like you to post on Erica's facebook page something you appreciate, maybe you won a prize or are thankful for her super awesome store prices or a tip you leaned. I will announce the winner on Erica's facebook page on Monday evening.
Thanks for hopping with us and Happy Crafting!
