{July} Blog Hop and Inspiration Challenge!

Welcome! We are so glad you could join us for our third Inspirational Blog Hop! June has been a busy month, but July promises to hold even more wonderful things, and it begins with this blog hop. We are so excited about what the design team has come up with based on the July Inspiration and .... the sponsors this month have gone over the top with some fabulous prizes for our participants.

Here is what the lead design team came up with to get you started!

Don't you just love the flowers? They were very generously donated by our sponsor Accents and Petals for the lead design team to work with. The winner of our inspiration challenge receive 100 of these birch wood blooms!

Ready to see what the rest of the team came up with? Once again we were privileged to work with an extremely talented group of designers who have made projects based upon the July Inspiration. Be sure to hop through the blogs and leave a little note at each stop along the way. Once you are done the hop, be sure to finish with the Polkadot Door, because by commenting on this post and following the Polkadot Door you have a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to Scrapbits, just for playing along!
