First Ever IMAGINE Blog Hop!!

Hello! Welcome to the Imagine-Nation Blog Hop! If you just came over from Debbie's blog, then you are in the right place. If you came directly here or from another link, you should start from the beginning at Sarah's Blog (Pink Cricut) to be sure you don't miss out on any of the fabulous projects! And, you won't want to miss out on any of the awesome blog candy either! Provocraft will be donating a Gypsy and 6 Imagine cartridges for a total of 7 prizes, plus there is plenty of other prizes along the way! How awesome is that?? (be sure to leave a comment at each stop)

Before I show you my projects, I would like to thank Sarah for inviting me to participate in this hop. This is the first time I have ever been a part of a hop and I am so honored and grateful to be amongst such extraordinary talent. To be honest, I have been really nervous all week! I hope you enjoy the projects I have created for you and maybe find a bit of inspiration as well!!

I am also offering some Yummy Blog Candy at the end of this post, so be sure to read all the way through. Now on with the show....

All of the projects are created using the absolutely adorable Nursery Tails cartridge. I fell in love with this cartridge the moment I saw some of the pics from CHA. My neighbors daughter just had a beautiful baby girl last week, so I thought I would make some cute little gifts for her.

BUTTERFLY KISSES Candle

I used the same technique as stamping on candles, only I printed on the tissue paper with the Imagine instead of stamping! (I was thrilled when this worked!!)
