Chill-ax

Hello all, 


Welcome to BugBites first ever Bug Hop, Grillin’ & Chillin’ Bug Hop!  

To celebrate the beginning of summer, Barb over at BugBites is hosting two consecutive weekends of Bug Hops.
This weekend it is all about the Chillin’, June 4-6.
If you've come from visiting Jenn you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our Grillin’ & Chillin’ Bug Hop, click HERE to start from the beginning.
Each designer along the bug trail is featuring a project based on the Chillin’ theme. What’s more exciting is you can participate too by creating a project and linking it up over at BugBites for a chance to win a Big Prize.
But, there’s a twist. Your project must included at least one Cricut cut and at least one of the critters that have been hidden within some of the bug stop blogs. Be sure to visit all the bug stops to find all your critter choices.
While you are looking for the critters, be sure to check out the blog candy that each designer has to offer you. You don't want to miss out on any of it!
Thanks for joining me in my very first blog/bug hop.  I'm so excited the line up is great.  The card I made is using my favorite sponged background technique.  I just love Summer cards for this very reason!  I used the umbrella from Life's a Beach, the fly is from Boys will be boys and the margarita glass is from Taylored Expressions.  I just love chillin with a Margarita.  It's my favorite cocktail! You know there is always a fly somewhere bugging you while you're chillin....LOL  I hope you like my card and the bug hop.  Oh, what is bug hop with out some candy.  I'm giving away one of Joy's new stamps sets "Everyday Occasions".  You need to leave a comment on this post and I will announce a winner on Monday.  
Blog Candy
Next stop...Britt. See what she has in store for you today.
Remember, once you have hopped to all the bug stops, it's your turn to show us your Chillin’ project.
Make sure to include a Cricut cut somewhere on your project, include one of the hidden critters and link up your project over at BugBites by Midnight CST June 6 to be eligible for the big prize.

Like your fabulous chillin' layout. Especially like the way the Margarita glass base has a cactus look to it. Thanks for opportunity to win & now I can get started on mine and look for the critter choices.
