My Favorite things Blog Hop

 

Good Morning!! Welcome to A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS Blog Hop!
If you've come from Susan at itsmesusanp you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our fun hop, you can go to Inking it up crazy and start at the beginning.

We would love to share a few of our favorite things with you today!
Each Design Team member will be featuring an project made especially for this hop using their favorite crafting tools and techniques. Make sure to check out each member's blog. There will be some fun prizes along the way, AND there will be some AWESOME ideas!

  • ribbon
  • chalk (for cheeks)
  • Peachy keen face stamps (critter medium set)
