Earth Day: It's My Birthday Blog Hop


Happy Earth Day Everyone!
 Gaby from Gaby Creates is hosting a Birthday Blog Hop and she has worked really hard to set up lot's of fun inspiration and some really great prizes for you.

If you have come here from Jenny's super FUN site: CrazyaboutCricut then you are in the right place.  If not be sure and start over at Gaby's site by clicking on her link above.

Here is my Project created with DCWV Green Stack.  This paper pad is made up of 70% Recycled Paper-and since many of us Crafters use A LOT of paper what better way to celebrate this Hop than by using  a Mother Nature friendly product.
I used the following Cricut Cartridges
 Stretch your Imagination
Picturesque
Wildlife 
I may add some racoons from the Wildlife cart to this side by the tree or journaling-still debating.

I love the corner Creative Feature key in Picturesque! 

Any good Hop deserves some good Blog Candy so become a Follower to my Site and Leave a comment for your chance to win the Pink CGull Tool Kit pictured above.  A winner will be chosen at random on Sunday at 11:30pm and posted on Gaby's site.  Good Luck-Here is the line up for the rest of the hop.  Be sure and wish Gaby a Happy Birthday and Have Fun!!!

Love the layout and the colors you chose! I would do just the journaling. To me, too much of a good thing crowds the main focus, the pictures. I like the layout just as it is.
