50 States Blog Hop

Welcome to the 50 States Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the 50 States Blog Hop! Most of us would love to travel but are having staycations this year. What better way to travel but through a blog hop. This hop was inspired by our host Shawnee's journey across the United States as she traveled with her family to their new home. The United States is truly beautiful with many wonderful places to visit and see.

If you've hopped along from South Dakota, then you are in the right place!! If you are just joining me from your dashboard or happened along from somewhere else, please be sure to CLICK HERE to start with the first state in the union, Delaware, because you won't want to miss out on any of the fun (or any of the blog candy!!)...

So what's the Grand Prize???
Cricut Cartridge - Destinations, beautiful handmade flowers from Shannon at Creative Chaos Flowers, and a $20 Gift Certificate to Scraptastical Kreations.
Now on to my state and my project....
My State is Montana.  I love Montana.  I spent the summer during my teenage years in Montana at my great Uncle and Aunt's home.  It is so beautiful  I did a layout of our drive to Glacier National Park on the way to Yellowstone.  Glacier National Park is not far from Yellowstone.   Again, I used 50 States Cricut Cartridge for the State Bird and Flower.  I used Animal Kingdom for the Grizzly Bear, and Old West Cartridge for the title "Montana"  and the Sign for the Journaling.   I had paper of Mountains to I cut around the Mountain ridges.  The Trees were cut with Dreams Come True Cartridge.  I used pop dots on each layer of the flowers and one layer of the trees.  I also used black beads on the Bear's eyes and the bird's eyes.

I am offering some Blog Candy which is a small grab bag of some goodies including 2 bottles of stickles, small clear alphabet stamp, and a package of cardstock:
