CWC Cele"bear"ation Blog Hop and Giveaway

Welcome to Jean's Crafty Corner and Cooking With Cricut’s Cele”bear”ation Blog Hop! We’ve been partying all month long in honor of CWC’s first blog-aversary. If you arrived here from visiting Melin at Cooking with Cricut you’re in the right place! If you’re crashing the party in mid-hop, head on over to Cooking With Cricut — grab some punch and cake and start at the beginning.

Our theme for today’s party is bears and/or celebrations. For my project, I decided to make a fold out card.  The bears were welded together on the Gypsy using the Create a Critter Cartridge.  I then cut the banner using the Carousel Cricut Lite Cartridge.  I folded these the way that I wanted my card to fold and also folded the banner to fit nicely in the bear's hands.  I hand wrote the sentiment in multiple colors (Cele"bear"ation) on the banner and added some faux stitch lines around the banner as well.  As a final touch to my bears, I added some party hat stickers and some google eyes.

You can easily fold the bears up to fit in an envelope.

Now for the giveaway.  I am offering a set of Maya Road Chipboard Pieces, K and Company Chipboard Shapes and a set of Photo Transparencies.  To be elgible for this giveaway, you need to become a follower if you are not already and leave a comment on this post.  All comments through Sunday, May 22nd will be entered and I will announce the winner chosen by random.org on Monday, May 23rd.
