Old School Cartridge Blog Hop!

**Winner of the 3 pack of stickles is comment #36 chosen by random.org. Laura, I will be contacting you shortly to get your address. I just want to thank everyone for their kind comments and thank you all for following my blog. Dont forget that I will be giving away a prize when I reach 100 followers again!

Welcome to Holly's Hobbie and the Old School Cartridges Blog Hop! 
If you've come from visiting Amy at http://www.lv2scrapandfibrofacts.blogspot.com, 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 http://www.inkingitupcrazy.blogspot.com and start at the beginning. 

This hop is all about using Cricut Cartridges that are at least 2 years old or "old school"
So get ready for some super fun projects and some fun giveaways along the way!  
After you have finished the hop, be sure to head on back to INKING IT UP CRAZY (http://www.inkingitupcrazy.blogspot.com) and create and link up a project of your own using one of your older cartridges.  The older the better!

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! 

For my project I chose my favorite Cricut Cartridge ever! It is the one cartridge that I think everyone HAS to have... Create A Critter.  


 I chose the cupcake because I am in love with all things cupcake lately. 


Sentiment says "hello sweet thing" It would not show up in the pictures very well.

Recipe:

Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge
Echo Park Springtime Patterned Paper
Core'dinations White & Purple Card Stock
Misc Polka Dot Paper, Black & Pink Card Stock
White Gel Pen
Studio G Sentiment Stamp
Studio G Chalks - Pink
Lilac Twine from the Twinery
Pink Button
ATG gun
Modge Podge

** I will be giving away a Stickles set of 3 Limited Edition 1oz bottles in Red, Yellow and Blue for this hop.  I am also giving away a $20 gift card to either Michaels or Joanns when I reach 100 followers again (I just changed the name of my blog but the followers did not transfer over)  
In order to be eligible for both giveaways please become a follower and leave me a comment that you did so. If you are already a follower, just let me know you stopped by and you will be entered to win as well.
I will chose a winner via Random.org on Monday and will post the winner here. Please leave me a way to get ahold of you in case you are the winner!


Next stop...Diana's blog,  http://dianamlarson.blogspot.com
Go see what she has in store for you today...
I'm sure that it is something wonderful!

Lots of Love
Holly

  23. Holly, that is a cute card. I like the cupcakes and went through making cupcakes a couple of months ago as well!! I have got to say, what I first noticed on your blog was the OWLS!!!

Okay, that was a bit off track, but oh well...just had to throw that out there! ;) I do LOVE that cart as well, but my "oldie" is Stretch Your Imagination...so versatile for every season. :D I am a new follower, too. Thanks for the opportunity to win blog candy...I hope you reach 100 followers too. I would like to be near 100 one day!! LOL come by and check out my blog if you want!!
