Lucky Charm Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Lucky Charm Blog Hop! And Welcome to my blog of course!  In case you’ve never been to my blog, my name is Nadia, I love my Cricut machines and all things crafty! Id be super happy if you follow my blog and my adventures in crafting. Not only do I share my Cricut crafty creations, but I also like to share my finds on the net such as free printables (for those of us in a hurry)! 

If you have come from Giselle’s blog, you are in the right place.  If you stumbled upon my blog…well then…what the heck are ya waiting for? Go back to Giselle’s blog and start hopping from the beginning because this hop is full of talented ladies {and giveaways, too}!

This blog hop is all about creating something for the lucky charm in your life.  And in my case, my lucky charm is my husband and nothing makes him happier than a delicious batch of cupcakes!  I love Martha Stewart and I got this recipe in my Martha Stewart Cupcakes book.  If you cant stop staring at my cupcakes and wanna give them a try, here’s the link for the recipe: http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/carrot-cupcakes-with-cream-cheese-icing.

To go with these cupcakes, I made St. Patrick’s Day inspired cupcake toppers. 

Supplies for the Cupcake Toppers:
Cricut Paper Dolls Dress Up cartridge (for the Shamrock)
Cricut Mini Monograms cartridge (for the scalloped circle)
Cricut Hello Kitty Greetings (for the rainbow)
Elmers Glitter in Green
Dark green, light green, black, blue, yellow, red and orange cardstock
Martha Stewart Baking Twine in Green
Toothpicks and Scotchtape
Xyron 2.5 machine and a glitter tray  (for easy glittering)

Supplies for the Cupcake Placemat:
Dark green cardstock
Cricut Paper Dolls Dress Up cartridge (for the Shamrock)

For blog candy I will be giving away an iRock. I swear by this handy crafty little tool, it is frequently used in my craft room!

Please leave a comment on this post telling me what you use an iRock for, other than for cards, and with a way for me to contact you if you win (only one comment per person please). Since I love my followers and their comments, blog candy is for followers only, so if you aren't one, sign up and follow already! Comments will close on Friday, March 18, 2011 at 11:59 p.m E.S.T.) The winner will be announced on Saturday.The winner will have until next Saturday (March 26) to claim the prize, if unclaimed I will select another winner on Sunday. 

Now that you are done drooling over my cupcakes, it’s time for you to hop on over to Jennifer’s Blog at http://www.creativearmywife.blogspot.com/

Lucky Charm Blog Hop 3/17 - NOW FULL !

Hi Everyone!

Cross My Heart Papercrafts and Nadia's Beautiful Mess are hosting a Lucky Charm Blog Hop in honor of St. Patrick's Day on March 17, 2011.  Instead of traditionally hand selecting bloggers, we've decided to give everyone a fair chance at participating in this one, since our last one was a hit!

We have decided to pick the first 10 bloggers to email us wanting to participate.  If you are interested in participating in this fabulous blog hop, please send an e-mail to me at nadiaspapertrail@yahoo.com with your name, blog address and Facebook name so that we can add you to our Facebook group. We will update this post to let you know once we have reached 10 bloggers each. 

Thank you :)

February 23, 2011 - Update:  Thank you everyone who e-mailed me to participate in the blog hop!  Spots are no longer available, they filled up pretty quickly! Giselle and I will be hosting more blog hops in the future so for those of you who weren't able to participate, there will be more opportunities in the future!

In the meantime, make sure you hop along with us for the Lucky Charm blog hop on St. Patrick's Day!
