Imagine Nation Blog Hop - Part Deux

Welcome to the second Imagine Nation Blog Hop!
If you are here from from visiting Debbie over at Creativity Heals you are on the right track. If you started here you should really head over to Emma's blog My Creative Time as she is the starting point of this Blog Hop! I wouldn't want you to miss anything. I am so excited to join all of these really talented ladies! The first time around I made a magnetic/dry erase message board that I really enjoyed doing! this time I really wanted to try something a little bit different. So here we go. I headed over to Michael's and bought some Ink Jet Friendly Shrinky Dinks Paper... If you haven't tried this stuff you are really missing out on some fun! This really took me back... WAY BACK!!!
I set all my images (Better Together Cricut Cartridge) to be printed and cut at 2 1/2 inches, punched a 1/8 hole in them and baked them at 275 degrees for about 3 minutes and here they are!!!
After I was done i used some silver circles, chain and latch to make this adorable Charm bracelet!
The blog candy for this Blog Hop is an irock!
All you have to do to enter to WIN is become a follower and leave a comment with your contact info. I will use random.org to select a winner!
