Grillin' & Chillin' Bug Hop!

Welcome to BugBites first ever Grillin’ & Chillin’ Bug Hop!
To celebrate the beginning of summer, Barb over at BugBites is hosting two consecutive weekends of Bug Hops.
This weekend it is all about the Grillin’, May 28-30.
If you've come from visiting Barb, you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our Grillin’ & Chillin’ Bug Hop, click HERE to start from the beginning.
Each designer along the bug trail is featuring a project based on the Grillin’ & Chillin’ theme. What’s more exciting is you can participate too by creating a project and linking it up over at BugBites for a chance to win a Big Prize.
But, there’s a twist. Your project must included at least one Cricut cut and at least one of the critters that have been hidden within some of the bug stop blogs. Be sure to visit all the bug stops to find all your critter choices.
While you are looking for the critters, be sure to check out the blog candy that each designer has to offer you. You don't want to miss out on any of it!

For my project I decided to make a two page layout, from one of the many summer gathering we had last year.

When I was in Florida in January I was able to pick up the Cricut Cartridge Block Party for a really good price. Most of the cuts for this layouts were cut from it.

The beer tub was cut from Country life the ovals were from George and Basic Shapes.

The bottles and ants are both brads ( which will be part of the blog candy)

I used my Cri-Kits Gel pen, and also inked the edges.

The beach ball is from Life a Beach and I added glitter.

The grass was cut from Zooballo and the font from ?
