Whimsical Twist's blog hop, a giveaway and summer challenge!

Welcome to Whimsical Twist's first challenge! 
We thought it would be a lot of fun to also have a Blog Hop to celebrate our first challenge! How does that sound? 
During the Hop you will be visiting blogs from several of our fabulous design team members. You will find so much inspiration on the way, that your head might explode! 
 The hop will start at the Whimsical Twist blog and end at Lisa Wilkinson's blog. 
If you are just joining in, be sure to go to the Whimsical Twist blog to start. 
If you get lost along the way, just look at the list below to get you hopping in the right direction. 
 And you can't have a Blog Hop without giveaways and this one is no different! 
In order to be entered into the giveaways, you will need to be sure you leave a comment on each blog on the hop. 
Whimsical Twist will also be giving away a $15 gift certificate to the shop to one random hopper! 
We will be announcing the winners of our giveaways on August 12th, so be sure to watch for the announcements. Without further ado, let's get this celebration started! 
Our first challenge is inspired by  summer!
