Spring in Summer Blog Hop & Crop!!

Welcome to the My Scraps and More Spring into Summer blog hop and crop. Hopefully you have come here from the My Scraps & More's blog. If not start the beginning of the hop here. We are springing into things with a blog hop starting today and the official crop will kick off on Friday April 26 on the message board. You will be springing over to each of the design team members blog and seeing a creation they have made using one of the recently released CHA lines.

As you Spring from one blog to the next, make sure you take note of the paper line each design team member used. At the end of the hop you will have a list of 6 design team members and paper lines. Email your list to info@myscrapsandmore.com. A random winner will be drawn from all lists received. Everyone is welcome to play but  if you live outside the US you will be responsible for shipping cost. You have until Sunday, April 28 at midnight EST to complete the hop. Here is the prize you are playing for, the Fancy Pants Hopscotch line.



I chose to use the brand new collection from Carta Bella, Beach Boardwalk. I love sumer collections and this one has become a fast favorite! This is the first time I have had the opportunity to play with Carta Bella's products and I am very impressed. The paper is really thick and the colors in this particular line are awesome!!

Besides the chance to win the Hopscotch collection, I am also giving away a RAK here on my personal blog. All you have to do is leave a comment and become a follower of my blog if you are not already. I will draw a random winner at the close of the hop! 

Now Spring on over to Tracy's blog and see what she has come up with.

If you get lost along the way here is the order of the hop.
