CYP Blog Hop! 14th - 16th September

Hi I hope you're all well, those of you who aren't huge hugs coming your way!

A while back I got an email from Jenn, the owner of Craft Your Passion asking me if I wanted to join in with their blog hop. Well I said yes of course, below are the rules & all the links you will need!

Welcome to the Craft Your Passion 'All Sports' blog hop!

All Craft Your Passion DT members are going to be playing along in the hop with some very special guest designers. Each designer along the way is featuring a project that showcases a digital image from at least one of our amazing Blog Hop Sponsors. What's more exciting is that you can participate too by creating a project & linking it up over at Craft Your Passion Challenge for a chance to win one of several prizes!

Once you have finished the hop & left a comment on everyone, we would like you to create a

SPORTS THEMED

project using at least one STAR & enter it with our linky tool!

If you have hopped over from NIINA , then you are in the right place. If you just happened to stop by & would like to join our hop from the beginning, please go to Craft Your Passion Challenges & follow along for a chance to win some AMAZING blog candy along the way & PRIZES at the end!

The next stop on the hop is MELISSA

Remember, once you have hopped to all the stops & left your comments (we will be checking), it's your turn to show us your 'SPORTS THEME' projects!

Make sure you include a STAR somewhere on your project & link your project over at 

Craft Your Passion Challenge by Midnight CST September 16th to be eligible for the prizes. Winners will be announced on Monday the 17th challenge post!
