Cricut Card Fairies TURN THREE! BLOG HOP!

Happy Friday! Today we are celebrating the Cricut Card Fairies!! We turned THREE YEARS OLD yesterday! YAY! What are Cricut Card Fairies you may be asking? Well I am here to tell you! We are a group of crafting volunteers who LOVE to send cards to those that need it. To date we have sent over 750 missions all over the globe. That is over 750 smiles and hugs via cards. Isn't that amazing?

I started the fairies back April 14, 2008. I honestly did not think it would go as long as it has but I knew how much cards made me smile so I figured it was a good way to spread some smiles and sunshine. WOW! Did the ladies on the cricut messageboard STUN me! I started with just working out of my personal email but quickly realized I needed a different one just for this, then the amazing Marine Mom wore Admin Becky down and we were blessed with our FORUM on the messageboard. It has been a wonderful adventure and I hope to continue it for as long as we are needed! If you are interested in becoming a fairy you can email me at cricutcardfairyarmy@gmail.com with your cricut messageboard name and the email for which you wish to receive missions.


Today I would like to share the layout I did for my Book Of Me that I am SLOWLY working on. There is a lot of journaling and I tried to show the relationship between the "commander" (me) and the AWESOME fairies that I love to pieces! What do you think?



Now I do have some blog candy to offer but I did not get a picture. Here is what you have to do to win leave me a comment here, hop along, leave love for all my wonderful fairies, then come back here and tell me YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE HOP! Easy peasy right? I would love to have new followers but ONLY if ya like my creations. Please come back on Monday to find out who won! Happy Hopping!

  14. HI again Crystal! We have such a great group of crafters! And to think that this is only a sampling of our Fairies!!! I love seeing everyone's takes on projects, and even ways that they incorporate the cuts from Carts into cards. I still have trouble with that so it was nice to see! But I have to agree with those above. The best part....getting to know and see some of the creations from some fellow faries.
    Keep up the excellent work Crystal! As long as CCFA is around (and I hope it's for a looooooong time) I will be right there helping with missions! And as always....thanks for all that you do!

  15. Crystal, I left a message at the beginning, but I just finished the hop for the first day. Very nicely done cards by all of the fairies. I loved Rachel's use of the owl punch to make that fantastic rose. I am definitely going to try that. thanks for the hop. Tami

  21. Crystal, Just finished the blog hop. You have some very talented ladies in your army. My favorite part was that you did a layout instead of a card. You know I am a scrapper at heart and love the layouts.
