Happy Birthday Hop!!!

**GIVEAWAY CLOSED**

Today kicks off the super fun birthday blog hop in honor of my friend Tanya.  She is such an awesome friend in fact, that we decided to get together and throw a par-tay in her honor.  If you just happened upon this post then head back to the starting line at Scrappy Zeni's blog.  If you came from Cindi's blog then you are in the right place!!  There will be fun, prizes and inspiration along the way so please hop along for the ride!!  There will not only be an amazing Cricut imagine cart at one of the stops, but the grand prize (sponsored by Your Memories Here) is this fabulous Christmas goodie package:

I created this fun little birthday mini album for her.  All of the photo mats are designed to hold 2.5x3.5 standard wallet photos (these can be printed at almost all 1hr photo stops) with a little edge to provide a nice mat.  All the paper is DCWV.  Each page has a spot for a photo of your favorite birthday memories and the back page has a spot for journaling.  It might even be fun to put pics from a birthday party in it and have your guests sign a spot on the journaling spot on the back!  

It's on it's way to Ms. Tanya now and I really hope she loves it!  I really hope all of you love it too, so much so that I made a duplicate to give away to one lucky reader!!!  Just comment on this post by Sunday night (Nov 27th) at 11:59pm (eastern time) and your name will go into the hat.  I will announce a winner early next week so be sure to check back.  The winner will have 1 week to contact me.  :)  Now that we're all done here make sure you head on over Liz at WhichCraft to keep the party train rollin'!!!  

Thanks for hoppin' with me!!!

I had so much fun with last week's blog hop! I hope you ladies got to enjoy it too! Did anyone have a chance to see the awards show we were celebrating?!?!?! I missed it, but luckily MTV will play it 25 more time before Christmas, so lots of chances to catch up! LOL. I had a wonderful vacation (albeit too short IMO) followed by a HORRENDOUS commute home, but I'm here and that's what counts right??

On my stop on your scrappy train you were promised a collection of Primas and that's just what you're getting. Well one lucky winner will, that is! That lady who will be swimming in flowery yumminess is:

KELLY MASSMAN!!!

Please email me at chuckandchristina(at)yahoo(dot)com and I will get your goodies all together for you. Congrats!!!

Scrap It With a Song BLOG HOP!!!!!

**THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED**

see the winner here

This weekend MTV will be throwing their annual bash to honor the greatest and latest musicians to rock our airwaves and to celebrate that we are having our first ever Scrap It With a Song BLOG HOP!!! Stick with us as we pop in and out of each DTs blog and see what karaoke hour has to offer in their corner of blogdom. We'll be rocking out to some of our favorite musicians of all time. Some of us are even offering goodies to our fabulous readers in addition to the prize available on the main blog. If you found me first, then you need to go to Scrap It With a Song to get started.

First off I want to share my project for this week's challenge. The song is "You'll Be In My Heart" by Phil Collins. You'll need to create a new project (it can be a card, layout or altered project) following the lyric challenge posted HERE to be in the running for the main prize of the bloghop. Here is my layout:

Now onto the bloghop fun!! I have several artists in my list of favorites of all time. The list is almost embarrasing in it's randomness, but that's ME! My top 5 artists/groups are Linkin Park, Paramore, Journey, Michael Jackson, New Kids on the Block (yes...I went there HAHAHAHA) and because I can't stop at 5...The Rolling Stones. I chose Journey for this special project because they are a group I grew up listening to. I have so many great memories tied to their music so letting them inspire a project was easy. Before you check out the project why don't you click play and sing along with me.













In addition to the adorable mini album kit the main blog is giving away, I have a special prize in store for you too! A fun collection of primas. To win these, all you have to do is comment on this post and tell me YOUR favorite artist of all time. The winner will be chosen at random Sunday night.

Your next stop on the blog hop is Liz so click along to her blog and see what musician inspires her!
