Everything ABC's Blog Hop - Letter X

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop!
For this hop we will be featuring the letter "X".  
This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment.  
Whatever the crafter has chosen as their "element"
 will be featured in their post.
If you came from Lauren Moore's blog,
then you're on the right track!  

I hope you enjoy the "X" inspired expressions of creativity. 
My letter "X" inspiration is from the letter "X" key on our new CTMH Flower Market Cricut Cartridge. Loving this cartridge!

From the "X"  key, of the Flower Market Cartridge pg 32,  I used the background wreath and added the overlay branch which I inked with Willow.   The wreath was cut from the willow paper from the  Oh Deer paper packet!  The reverse of that paper is the red chevron strip. I also added a tiny strip of gold glitter paper and the green arrows from the Adventure Fundamentals.  Add a little sparkle and a greeting from the retired M1048 A Quick Hello.  And that's the story for this QUICK CARD.



The next person in this blog-hop loop is 
who also started the hop and has the list of the participants.  If you enjoy the hop, let us know and make sure you don't miss out on the fun, join us in two weeks for letter "Y"
I hope you've enjoyed the inspiring creations along the way and will encourage us with some comments.
