To celebrate the beginning of summer, Barb over at BugBites, is hosting two consecutive weekends of
"Bug Hops". How fun is that?
This weekend we're all about Grillin'. Each designer along the bug trail is featuring a project based on the
Grillin' and Chillin' theme.
If you've come from Kerie's blog, you're buggin right along. If you just dropped in to visit my blog and think you'd like to hop along, you can click HERE to start from the beginning.
OK, here's the exciting news - you, too, can participate by creating a project and linking it up to BugBites for a chance to win a Big Prize. But, there's a twist. Your project must include at least one Cricut cut and at least one of the critters that have been hidden within some of the bug stop blogs. Be sure to visit all the bug stops to find your critter choices. And, be sure to check out the blog candy being offered along the way.
For my Grillin' project I made my very first side step card!!
I just love this little bird with all its layers from Three Birds on Parade. I used Accent Essentials to create the frame for the sentiment. The sun is from A Child's Year and the grass from Plantin. The picnic goodies are from an embellishment pack.
Now for the blog candy. If you're kind enough to leave a comment, your name will go into a drawing to win 2 chipboard 6 x 6 album kits. Just a little thank you for stopping by. If you'd care to become a follower, that would be wonderful. Do you see how close to 200 followers I am?
Be sure to let me know how to contact you.
The winner's name will be posted on Tuesday, May 31.
Your next stop is Saundra at http://luvscrappingtogether.blogspot.com. Hop on over to see what she has for you today.
If you get lost along the way, you can return to Bug Bites for a list and the links to all the bug stops.
Remember, once you have hopped to all the bug stops, it's your turn to show us your Grillin' and Chillin' project. Make sure to include a Cricut cut and one of the hidden critters. Link up your project at
BugBites by Midnight CST May 30 to be eligible for the big prize.
Hugs and Happy Crafting,
Larelyn

Larelyn,
Do you know that I actually own every cart that you used to make this card? I am so happy! I usually go to a blog, see a card that I love, but I can't make it because I don't own all of the carts. I am going to mark this as a favorite so I can come back this summer when I have more time and make this card. I have also become a follower of your blog and I have subscribed to you by e-mail. If you have a chance, please answer this question; what size did you cut the Accent Essentials Frame? I always have trouble with that, I cut it too big or too small, thanks!

Oh my goodness , your card is awesome. I a, going to try one.

It is fantastic idea that you used cricut cuts and embellishments together So much detail. Sometimes I get so involved with my Cricut that I forget about all the stickers and embellishments I bought pre-cricut days.

You did a great job on your side step card. I just ordered Three birds on parade for $19.95.
I used some beach embleshments. Those things come in so handy. Great to be in the hop with you. Hugs, Debi
