 Good morning, and welcome to The Scrapping Cottage/CottageCutz June Blog Hop!  We have some gorgeous creations to share with you, so grab your favorite cool and refreshing drink and join us for all the fun!  There is a fabulous line up of inspiration, and of course there will be prizes, so be sure to leave a comment on each designers blog, because we're not sure which designer will be awarding one of the wonderful prizes.  The more you comment, the better your chances of winning, so HOP to it!!  ;-)

You should have arrived here from The Scrapping Cottage Blog, but if not, no worries, because it's only one stop back and you'll need to begin there to find out all the wonderful details.  That will also be where we end the hop, and I don't want you to miss a thing, so be sure to start AND end there!
