CardMaker Magazine Card Swaps: Sugar Crash Blog Hop

Welcome!! If you are stopping by today you are most likely here for the CardSwaps Sugar Crash Blog Hop! You should have arrived here from Angelina's Blog. If you did not, you need to make sure you start at the beginning, which is Lora's Blog. You don't want to miss any of the fun, do you?

Why hop around? Well, there are 17 stops on the hop where you can win a prize or pick up a free digital image or a cool sketch. The only way to win the prizes is to leave a comment on that blog AND it’s always nice to say thank you for freebies, too. PLUS, our blog hosts have worked very hard and we want to show a little love and appreciation.

You are invited to participate in the Sugar Crash Crop at CardSwaps, too. There are 10 challenges to be posted over the next 3 days (November 4-6, 2010) and EVERY challenge will have a winner. What’s the prize, you ask? A paper crafts books from CardMaker Magazine!! PLUS, one lucky crop participant will win a card making kit that makes 50 cards!!!! It’s very cool… you MUST play along.

Lora asked me to create a sketch for the hop.

Here is the sketch:


And here is my card:

You have until 11:59PM CST, November 6, 2010, to post your comment on the blogs on the hop. Everyone that comments on my blog will be entered in to the drawing for a prize from me. What is that you may ask? :) The winner on my blog will have your choice of either my In Stitches stamp set or my Faithful Florals stamp set (both manufactured by Gina K Designs).
