...and you never know, there might be more throughout the blogs!
Ok so what you need to do is comment on each blog and say HI to each sponsor on Facebook. They are so awesome for doing this that they need a shout out! You will have until July 28th to comment and she will pick the winners on July 28th so make sure you come back and check!

Your first stop should have been CallyAnn's blog!

For my project I made a triple stamp card that has been popular lately among bloggers in my circle. Check out the video that we have used to learn the technique from here.

The background paper is from a value pack of Recollections cardstock that I got at Michael's. The goldfish paper was from a stack of scraps I got from CallyAnn! I used the summer tree from A Tree For All Seasons Stampin' Up set in the background stamped in Certainly Celery, which, after stamping over it turned out to certainly not be dark enough. The campfire is from a set of clear camping stamps from Studio G and was stamped with Stampin' Up Pumpkin Pie ink. The sentiment is from Stampin'Up and the ink used was Staz On Jet Black.

The S'more paper piecing I made using the cloud from the KISS Spring set from Scraptastical Kreations. Which I flocked with white and brown Martha Stewart flock. Then, I cut out rectangles to make the chocolate and graham crackers. I forgot the word great when handwriting my sentiment for the inside... Oops.

I have never done blog candy on my blog before, in fact just a few short months ago when I saw someone mention blog candy I thought they really meant candy! (Yep, I wanted to win it, drool....). So, here is my first offer of blog candy. Just leave me a comment telling me your favorite animal and I will create you a few critters from the Create-a-Critter Cricut cart. CallyAnn does an incredible job on these, so this is in dedication to her! If you haven't seen them, check out the older blog entries, they are GREAT! I will also be posting the winner On the 28th, so come on back!

Happy Birthday Kiera!!!!

Welcome To Keira’s Double-Digit Birthday Crafting Bash!

Oh, the dilemma of it all, what to get a talented gal such as Keira who is going to be 10 for her birthday!!!!! I know what, let's have a blog hop for her .....

Keira has sooo many talents and likes such as:
she will be going in the 5th grade, loves dogs and cats, loves to garden, is a competitive gymnast, but more importantly, she is the best crafting partner Lisa Woodward could have! At 9, she can use a cricut independently, and with SCAL and CCR. She likes to paper piece and scrapbook and loves making cards for everyone~and everything!!!! Hallmark may not have a card for “Sorry my Golden Retriever ate your shoe at my sleepover” but Keira sure does! Keira crafts along side Lisa, working on her own projects, and with helping Lisa with hers. Now, bear in mind that Keira is not a "kid" crafter so to speak but her skills go way beyond pipe cleaners and pom poms!

We have a talented group of crafters to help Keira celebrate her birthday and know she will be hopping along as part of her "surprise" .....

If you're just visiting me today, I'm thrilled but wouldn't want you to miss a single birthday wish to this special 10 year old!!!! The hop begins with Lisa. If you have arrived from Lynne's blog then you are most definitely following the cake crumbs and the birthday banners and streamers!!!

I chose to send Kiera a birthday pug since I was told she loves pugs, and I made the card pink because that is her favorite color. The pink background paper was from a DCWV glitter stack. The pug paper piecing is from ScrappyDew.com's pet shop pals collection. Their patterns are very reasonably priced, check 'em out.
