It's My Birthday Blog Hop Day 1

Happy birthday Rachelle!  I'm so glad I got to join you in celebrating your day!  If you have started on this blog you’re on the right track. If not, and just found this hop, you can go back to the beginning HERE and hop along with us.

There a few rules for this hop, in support of each crafter and the time they have put into their work, to be eligible for the "Grand Prize" you MUST visit each blog and leave a comment for each day of the blog hop and also become a follower at "Creations By Rachelle" and also like Rachelle's page on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/CreationsbyRachelle?ref=ts.
Have fun and enjoy all the wonderful projects created by some wonderful talented friends.

This hop runs from July 22-24th, so you have plenty of time to make it all the way through the hop. Check out each blog and see what each blog has to offer for BLOG CANDY!
Tell your friends about the hop on your Facebook, Twitter, and link it here for an extra chance.

And now, for my gift to Rachelle (and you) - a sneak preview of one of the new papers from Close to my Heart!  These papers will be available August 1st right here!

This card uses the Elemental papers, as well as the new Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge - both available only from Close to my Heart beginning August 1st!  This cartidge has over 700 images and coordinates beautifully with many of Close to my Heart's stamps!  I layered my Elemental paper with the negative of my circles to create this retro card.
