Welcome to BugBites first ever Bug Hop!
To celebrate the beginning of summer, I am hosting two consecutive weekends of Bug Hops.
This weekend it is all about the Grillin’, at least that is what I think of when I think of summer.
The smell of charcoal, sitting in the sun on the deck and juicy burgers- that's summer! Block Party is a great cartridge for summer party fun. This 5x7 card is great for a guys birthday or Father's day. I cut the grill king at 5" and the grill slightly smaller. I used the elegant edges cart for the banner after printing my own sentiment.
Each designer along the bug hop trail is also featuring a project based on the Grillin’ & Chillin’ theme to inspire you -- they have done an awesome job. I can't wait for you to see what they have in store for you.
What’s more exciting about this bug hop is you too can participate by creating a project and linking it up here for a chance to win the Kate's ABCs Cricut Cartridge
But, there’s a twist.
Your project must include at least one Cricut cut and one of the critters that have been hidden within some of the bug stop blogs. Be sure to visit all the bug stops in the list below to find all your critter choices. Then pick one to include on your project before linking up. The critter you pick can be any size, color, sticker, diecut, etc on your project. Once you have linked your project, be sure to become a follower of BugBites if you are not already.
While you are looking for the critters, be sure to check out the blog candy that each designer has to offer you as well.
You don't want to miss out on any of it!
So let's get started. Here is the Bug Hop line up for you to follow.
