We are already halfway through the Xyron blog hop with our friends at May Arts and Simple Stories - we hope you have been as inspired as we are!  Thanks for joining us!

 This might be the cutest little framed die cut we've ever seen!  On her blog today Sharon Callis walks us step by step through creating this fun project - and the possibilities are endless since you could do this with ANY die cut.  This inspires us to go through our stash!

Looking for a layout to celebrate your special someone?  This project from Angela Holt has so many great details and embellishments you can tell how much love went in to creating it!  On her blog today she shares some quick tips for making some of these special touches.
Cameras are all the rage in crafting these days - how about creating a card shaped like a camera?  Theresa Harris created this cool card and shares a tutorial on her blog today.  This is a must for your favorite shutterbug!

Leave a comment here on the blog throughout the week - we are going to select one lucky winner from all comments to receive a big ol' prize pack that includes a Xyron 2.5" Create-a-Sticker, a Simple Stories Good Day Sunshine collection pack and a spool of May Arts ribbon (winner's choice)!  We'll announce the winner on our Facebook Page on Saturday.

We've got even better news - head on over to the Simple Stories blog and the May Arts blog - not only do they have some fabulous creations to share with you, they are giving away the same prize pack!  That is three chances to win a box full of goodies that will bring your Summer crafting to a whole new level!
