Grillin' & Chillin' Bug Hop!

Good Morning and welcome to Nonna's Craft Corner!
Barb over at BugBites has put together two consecutive weekends of Bug Hops.  Last weekend was all about Grillin' and this weekend is all about Chillin'! I'm really excited to be a part of this fun Bug Hop and I'm really happy that you are here to join in on all the fun!

If you've come from visiting Barb at BugBites, 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 at the beginning.

Each designer along the bug trail is featuring a project based on the Grillin' & Chillin' theme.
What's more exciting is you can participate too by creating a project and linking it up over at
BugBites for chance to win a Big Prize!

But, there's a twist.  Your project must include 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 don't want to miss any of it!

Now...time for my Chillin' project....

(click on photo to enlarge)

Most of the cardstock used in this project is from the Tropical paper stack by Brazzill.

On this page I used the following:
*Background mat is from Elegant Edges, cut at Fit to page.
*The umbrella is from Life's A Beach, cut at Fit to page.
*The flower is cut from Pack Your Bags at 2.25 inches.
*I used the flip flops and sunglasses image from Pack Your Bags and cut away the flip flops to use on the second page of the layout.
*I also used a white gel pen, gems, Diamond Stickles and a Martha Stewart punch on this page.

(Close up of shades, notice the bling!)

I love this flower!

Page 2...

For page two I used the following:
*Sun is from Doodlecharms, cut at 3 inches.
*The phrase "Chillin by the pool" is from Pack Your Bags and is cut at 2.5 inches.
*I used Mini Monograms to create the 3 squares at the bottom.  Each square is cut at 3.5 inches.
*The beach ball is cut at 2.25 inches from Pack Your Bags.
*The sunscreen is also from Pack Your Bags and is cut at 2.25 inches.
*The flip flops are from Pack Your Bags.  This cut includes the sunglasses which I cut away and used on the first page of this layout.
*I used a white gel pen, Diamond Stickles, Prima flowers and a few gems on this page.

(Close up)

Well, that's my project for today!  I really had fun putting together this bright, happy layout.  I hope you enjoyed your visit and I know you will enjoy the rest of the hop.  I do have a small token of my appreciation for your visit and your comments....

These are a few of the things that I love to work with:
*Recollections Foam Adhesive Circles (love my pop dots!)
*Recollections Rhinestone Stickers (gotta have some bling!)
*Stickles - Cotton Candy
*Ranger Liquid Pearls - Baby Blue
* Gelly Roll -white gel pen (must have!)

I have 2 rules for my give-away:
1.  You must be a follower.
2.  You must leave a comment.
Easy Peasy!  I will draw a name for the winner on Monday (June 6) morning.

And now it's time for your next stop....
Jenn at Scrap Happens - Add Your Own Embellishments .

Remember, once you have hopped to all the bug stops, it's your turn to show us your
Grillin' & 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!

Until next time,
Tanya

  34. Hey girl!!! WOW another beauty! I never thought of using the umbrella like that...I love LAB cart!!! I really like how you outlines the pages, it looks great!!! I might have to borrow this idea on a card I just made my Dad, it needs a little something and that might just do the trick.

    Good job!

  43. Your layout makes me want to make one for the beach or pool, but that would require actually going to the beach or pool! Haha, I love it so much I may just have to do that. I like that your umbrella cut is so large. I wouldn't think to make it so big and put the pictures underneath it. Very creative!
