Cricky Across the 50 Blog Hop......You've reached Utah!!!

To enter the Cricut & Acrylic Stamp Challenge for A Crafty Secrets Stamp Set CLICK HERE
To enter the Desing Time Thursday Challenge Love Notes CLICK HERE

If you've landed here after visiting Krista Orr of Scrapaleupagus  then you are in the right place.  Welcome to The Best Snow on Earth in the Great State of Utah.

If you have never visited then put this State on your bucket list, you won't be sorry.  There is soooooo much to see and do that you will be amazed at what a fun state this is.  I am originally from Boston, Massachusetts but I've lived in Utah for the last 28 years.  This is a beautiful, clean and friendly state with something for everyone.  You can ski the mountains in the winter and hike several beautiful National Parks in the Summer.  
My family loves to camp, fish, visit the beautiful lakes, visit places where the Dinosaurs roamed and where brave, faithful men and women of faith stopped to build their ZION.  Some of the must see places are Temple Square, Cedar City, Moab, Utah Lake, listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Take in a Utah Jazz game or cheer for the University of Utah football team-GO UTES!

As part of this Hop we are suppose to share a favorite Project we have created.  I would like to share two.  The first is an older project I made by paper piecing an image of Edward & Bella to create a TWILIGHT page for my teen daughters.  Hope you like it
My other NEW favorite is set of Canisters I decorated as a project I hope will be in my soon to be released Cricut How To Book-Let me know what you think.
I hope you are having a great time on this Blog Hop.  To make it all worth it--I will be giving away a Cindy Lou Cartridge to one lucky person.  All you have to do to win is become a Follower to my Creative Cutter Room and leave me a comment letting me know what your Favorite Cricut Cartridge is.
Thanks for stopping by you should now go to Virginia and visit Chris Hanselmaan of Chris' Crafty Creations from the Corner

Very nice! Hey, where is Michigan on that list???

Picking my favorite cartridge is like asking me to pick my favorite child! I think picking a favorite child would be easier! I will go with one I've been using a lot lately mainly because I love the font and that is Birthday Bash!

Have been a follower for awhile now and love your blog. Can't wait for your book to come out.
My favorite cartridge would have to be Lyrical letters.

Becky Dunham said...

Very cute projects! It was fun reading about Utah - I was born in Moab and have never lived in any other state - live in Salt Lake now. I think you probably did a better job of describing Utah than I would have having come from somewhere else - I sometimes think we take our state for granted :) For instance, having lived here all my life, I had never been to Zions until April 2 years ago - pretty sad... Very nice pics by the way!

I don't own a lot of cartrides - only 7 - but they are all ones that I specifically wanted. My current favorite is the Heritage cartridge - I really love vintage and it has some fabulous cuts on it. And my hubby's grandmother turned 100 last May and I used that cart a lot for her scrapbook I made.

That is about it for my novel :) I am a new follower and happy to be here - love your creative style!

I'm a huge fan of Twilight, so it was awesome to see the layout featuring E&B. TFS! My favorite cart right now is Pagoda because my son is currently living in Japan.

My cousin and his new wife have been going to Utah every year now to snowbaord and the mountains look awesome. I got really disappointed when I went down Big Bear here in Cali. It has nothing on Colorado mountains that's for sure.

New follower here. You have some great stuff on your blog! Thanks for the inspiration.
Hard to choose a favorite cart. I have well over 100. Maybe a Child's Year? I use that one a lot. But the best thing I ever bought for my Cricut was Make the Cut software.

LesleyfromWI said...

Love your projects. I have never been but I bet the hiking is fantastic! My favorite cart probably is Create a Critter. Thanks for the chance to win.

I used to live about an hour and a half from the Utah border in Montrose, CO. You might have heard of Grand Junction? Of course, I've been there a million times to Lake Powell and once or twice to beautiful Moab and other places in Utah. Thanks for the lovely pictures! Nice projects too! My favorite cartridge changes weekly, but at the moment, it's two... Sweethearts and Tie the Not. Permanent favorite has to be Create a Critter. I don't own Cindy Lou, but have wanted it for a long time now! :0)
