Ready to HOP!? Second CCFA Blog Hop!!!

ALL COMMENTS ARE CLOSED NOW! THANKS FOR HOPPING! I WILL ANNOUNCE THE WINNER OF THE PRINTABLE STAMPS LATER ON TODAY 9/6/10!!!!
Do you need some last minute back to school ideas? How about ideas on scrapping those school pictures? Just like the school themed items ? Then do we have a great bunch of inspiration for you! So sit back, relax, grab a drink and snack and enjoy the Second Cricut Card Fairy Back to School Blog Hop!

Our second blog hop is sponsored by the very talented and generous Regina from CUTTING CAFE.
She cranks out amazing designs almost daily. I am in love with almost all of them and can't wait to get the Welcome Fall and a personalized stamp from her! She is also very generous. She has donated a great grand prize for this blog hop AND gave my fairies images to work with! How sweet is she? So while you are hopping and getting lots of inspiration make sure that you leave comments on all the blogs to be entered to win THREE CUTTING CAFE STAMP SETS OF YOUR CHOICE from the wonderful Regina. I will check to make sure the winner that random.org picks has commented on ALL the blogs and post the winner one Monday afternoon! Good luck!

Now let's get hopping. I am your first stop on the blog hop. I am the Commander of the Cricut Card Fairies. I began this wonderful group of ladies over two years ago and we are so happy to announce that we have sent over 650 missions (card requests)(just sent out mission 660 on Thursday!) all over the world to those that need a smile or good thought. My fairies are so kind, generous, and talented. I have fairies that have been with me the entire two years and we are so happy to welcome anyone that wants to join our ranks. To do so please send me an email at cricutcardfairyarmy at gmail dot com with your Cricut Messageboard name and email. I will get you added to our great ranks and you can start cheering up people around the world.

Today I have a project to share with you that is not really back to school but could easily be adapted to serve that purpose. I have signed up for my first ever online scrapping course that starts Sept 1st. It is called Learn Something Every Day. I thought that the ALL ABOUT SCHOOL stamp set that Regina graciously gave to some of the designers would be perfect for this project. I used the pencil, chalkboard, and apple for the front cover. I love it! You could make this a mini album, or a journal to record something that your child or yourself learn everyday for a month or more!


Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of the whole blog hop to be entered to win the images (got to comment on all the other ones too!) Now head off to the next stop: GRKIDDO aka GINA. If you get lost please come back here and follow the links listed below. Happy hopping!

  25. Ok so I was invited to the blog hop and have never been and not sure how to leave a comment on each blog but was asked to leave a comment when i was finished and I have to say while they all were just wonderful and a lot more work and motivation than i provide myself, mostly because I cannot leave facebook long enough to post to my own blog,,, I have to say my favorite of the whole hope was Gina's pencil holder and clip, and I loved the copic work on kat/ bluerose site. the word book also impressed me too!! Hope that helps!! Loved to look at what people do, now back to my pittiful place!!
