Welcome ladies to the EVENT of the season!

I am so excited to share with you that we have about 40 ladies who are going to push the limits of their creativity and participate in this 'linky party'!

 Marie Flayer suggested a Facebook group but I decided to create a new blog and not share it with anyone except this group.  I hope this idea works!  

 Here are a few basic rules....

 Here is an 'copyright free' image from the CTMH Image gallery 
                                   

#1 - I would like to ask everyone to please use the 'copyright free' images from CTMH.  TY...  


The Cricut pages -  TY ...Paige Dolecki, she has posted on her blog are OK - I checked with corp...It seems they are up on the Cricut blog....
Of course all of the artwork you create will be have your watermark on them- If you need help with that - let me know!!
Artwork is done by one of my 'students'....

 I created this in PicMonkey - easy and free photo editing program here.  Don't worry about signing in - just start with your photo!  If you get stuck,  just send me your pictures and I will help you with it.

 If you have any questions about posting pictures, please share with the group and we can all help you!

    I'm very excited about this blog hop. I've been brainstorming ideas since I signed up. I use PicMonkey and it's super easy. It also helps a person edit down to a smaller file size so you don't use up your blog so quickly. Been there, done that, had to delete many old postings. LOL

    Thanks for the pic monkey tip I'm still figuring out the water mark thingy ; ). Thanks for thinking of this great way to highlight this FANTASTIC product!

    I'm confused. We will be posting to this blog? or our posts will be linked from this blog? Or is this blog just the way for us to communicate about the blog hop? And I have no idea how to add a watermark to a photo. I know how to post a photo directly to my blog from my camera, and I know how to post it through photobucket, but I don't use a watermark.

    I'm excited to participate! I actually have the paid subscription for PicMonkey... awesome, easy photo editing program. I use it to touch up favorite photos before I scrap them. I never thought to use it to watermark my photos I post! So thanks for pointing that out! Deb

    Glad you're feeling better now Adeline! Thank you so much for setting this all up. It is really awesome. I've been busy brainstorming, as well as cleaning up my craftroom (huge job LOL) for this event. This hop will be a lot of fun. Looking forward to seeing everyone's creations!

    Thanks for setting this up, Adeline! Am I correct in thinking this is an "information only" blog for us consultants? We will still be posting our blog posts to our personal blogs for the hop, correct? Thanks!

    I have never heard of PicMonkey. Is this a free program, or do I need to purchase it. I have done watermarks in the past, but for the life of me cannot remember how.

    I am busy working on my projects with my new Artbooking and can't wait to complete.

    I need some clarification just like some of the others here. Do you post on our own blog, here, or link to here. Just a little confused.

    I am one of those consultants who is fairly new to blogging so I'm looking forward to learning from all the experienced consultants.
    Do we link to our blog or this site? Is this only for consultants or customers too? My new cartridge will be arriving today and I can't wait to start playing. Looking forward to seeing all the beautiful artwork.
    Thank you for organizing this hop.
    Betty

    sounds good. Not sure how the linky hop will work. But there is no harm in trying something new, who knows it might be the better way
