First off I want to thank all of you for making our  first ever blog hop a success. We will be doing another one in January to mark the 1st Anniversary of CMM Challenges going public.

Now onto this week's challenge. This week we are wanting you to CUT IT OUT.
Meaning, I want to see DIE CUTS. Go ahead and pull out your Nesties, your Cricut carts, your decorative punches, or your pre-bought die-cuts.

Our wonderful sponsor this week is  a new one to the Card Makin Mamas family and I am sure you will fall in love  with them as much as we did. 

Please  help me welcome Saturated Canary. They are offering a prize of 2 free digis of the winner's choice.



Saturated Canary has kindly provided each of our team members an image to play with and we thank them very much!

So if you ever get lost, just head back here and find your place!  And when you reach the last blog you will be directed to come back here and comment on this post saying you completed the hop! Well how do you complete the hop?  By going to each blog and leaving a comment!!  Easy enough right?

Good luck to everyone!
