To celebrate the beginning of summer, Barb over at BugBites is hosting two consecutive weekends of Bug Hops.
This weekend it is all about the Grillin’, May 28-30.
If you've come from visiting Ashley from Shelly Crafts, you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our Grillin’ & Chillin’ Bug Hop, click HERE to start from the beginning.
Each designer along the bug trail is featuring a project based on the Grillin’ & Chillin’ theme. What’s more exciting is you can participate too by creating a project and linking it up over at BugBites for a chance to win a Big Prize.
But, there’s a twist. Your project must included at least one Cricut cut and at least one of the critters that have been hidden within some of the bug stop blogs. Be sure to visit all the bug stops to find all your critter choices.
While you are looking for the critters, be sure to check out the blog candy that each designer has to offer you. You don't want to miss out on any of it!This is my idea of Summer grilling. Laying in the sun and getting the best tan ever. And of course the place for that is on the beach. I live only one hour away from the beautiful Pacific ocean. I cut the hot dog from Everyday Paper Dolls. I cut it twice and layered the hot dog. I made the towel and the sun. I ran the sand through the Swiss Dot folder and sanded it lightly. The shoes, sunglasses and hat are stickers. Most of the paper is Recollections. Check out my bug candy below. I'd love it if you become a follower but you have to leave a comment to be eligible to win. Enjoy the hop. Now hop on over to
Lisa at Indy Mermaid and see what she has in store for you today.
Remember, once you have hopped to all the bug stops, it's your turn to show us your Grillin’ & Chillin’ project.
Make sure to include a Cricut cut somewhere on your project, include one of the hidden critters and link up your project over at BugBites by Midnight CST May 30 to be eligible for the big prize.
It's not big but it's good. There are 3x3 note cards with envelopes to decorate. Some rub on transfers. A plain note book with a closure to decorate. And no bug hop would be complete without a bug punch. I will do a random drawing on Monday morning. Thanks for stopping by. Hugs, Debi

Well, I just adore this! I'm not a big hot dog eater, but when I do eat one, I like them roasting until they get a nice toasty "tan"! So super cute and I love all the texture! I hope you have a very happy Memorial Day weekend :D

This is so cool! I really like the way you made the sand! That is a great idea! I never thought of doing that. I live on the Chesapeake Bay so I make a lot of "sandy" projects, lol, thanks for the great idea!
