Hello Everyone! I am so sorry it has been a while since I posted anything crafty..
Let's see, with the HSN Launch my multiple U-stream watching, the online games, keeping track of Cricut on FB and all of the other giveaways I think I needed some time to recuperate.
Welcome to Erica's Room
"My Favorite Cartridge" Blog Hop
You should be visiting my blog from Tammys @ http://crazycardcreator.blogspot.com/, if not and you would like to start from the beginning of the Hop
(I highly recommend it so you do not miss out on any Blog Candy Chances!)
Please start at Erica's Room...
If you are in the right place, then Yahoo Buccaroo!
I chose the Imagine Cartridge Buccaneer for this Blog Hop,
it is my newest cartridge and I am just LOVING the images and how they layer..
The first thing I did was take a frame I had made previously that was in my opinion plain and add a Mermaid to it.. My niece loves mermaids and she would love to have this in her room..
