Cricky Across the 50 Blog Hop

A Big Cricut Hello & Chirp to everyone! Welcome to the Cricky Across the 50 Blog Hop hosted by K Andrew of Getting Cricky! If you are here from Kathy's blog "The Beautiful Life" then you are in the right spot. If you just happened along my blog and would like to start from the beginning head over to KAndrew's Getting Cricky! For this blog hop K Andrew is celebrating her big move across the country with a big road trip, and of course this hop across the 50 states! She has asked us all to post a little bit about the state we are representing, and then to post our Favorite Craft Project. I am representing the great state of:

For this project I cut the "Nebraska" from vinyl and the pioneer boy and girl and wagon came from Paper Doll Dress Up. I googled Nebraska state seal SVG and used my CRI-Kits gel pens and Cricut to make it on printable vinyl. Sorry for not originally including this in my post. Thank you "amayo" for asking. 

Capital: Lincoln

Motto: Equality before the law

Flower - goldenrod

Tree - cottonwood

Bird - Western Meadowlark

Two huge and wonderful attractions in my area are:

Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer in Grand Island

(my home town)

The Great Platte River Road Archway

(about 45 minutes from me) 

We are also home to a GREAT football team. The Nebraska Cornhuskers represent the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The program has established itself as a traditional powerhouse, and has the fourth-most all-time victories of any NCAA Division I-A team. Nebraska is one of only seven football programs in NCAA Division I-A history to win 800 or more games. The Cornhuskers are the winningest college football program over the last 50 years, both by winning percentage and number of wins. This information came from Wikipedia.

We were also asked to share one of our most favorite projects and here is mine.

I used Pink by Designs January stamp of the month set, green crystal stickers from Cabochons and Bic Mark-It markers. Coloring brings out the child in everyone and I think that is why it is my favorite.

Now comes the fun part "Blog Candy". I am giving away a complete kit of CRI-Kits Glitter (10 pens + 1 carrier).  All you have to do is be a follower on my blog and leave a comment on this post. Easy Peasy!! I will post a winner on Valentine's Day!!
