Summer Kick-Off Blog Hop

Welcome to The Summer Kick-Off Blog Hop....

We've assembled a great line-up of Blogs for you this week, each with a variety of different ideas to share with you!   Some of the blogs change content daily, so you'll want to check in throughout the week for your chance to win prizes!  The Twinery has provided a giveaway for one person who visits each blog!  Here's all you have to do to qualify:  Visit each blog and then send Practical Srappers one email telling them a topic that is currently or has recently been featured on each site.  Not hard and it gives you a chance to really check out these great blogs!  To enter send the email to practicalscrappers@gmail.com.  (P.S. If you didn't arrive here from Practical Scrappers, please go there now and start the hop there so you don't miss a thing!)

We've got a great prize here too...so read on!


Here's the Blog Hop Line-Up

Tradefish Designs, is a company devoted to creating stamps with masculine themes, imagery and sentiments. We are especially happy to partner with TradeFish Designs for our this special hop as both the company and stamp designs are owned previous PCS Design Team Member Cecilia Stephens too!
