*~* Summer Begins Blog Hop *~*

Thanks for joining us for the Summer Begins Blog Hop! 

You should have arrived from Leah's Blog  The hop begins on Kathryn's blog if you'd like to start at the top.


 We have 16 fabulous designers all ready to show you a SUMMERY creation! This is a two-day hop. so some will have a second project posted tomorrow, so be sure to stop by again!

For me, as a teacher, summer begins when school gets out!  However, now that we have a POOL at our house, summer begins when its warm enough to get in the pool :-)  Sad to say that here in "sunny" California- we've only been in our pool twice and it was freezing!  This weekend it is warming up though....

Today I want to share with you a Studio J layout that I created with pics of my kiddos in the pool for the first time!  I used CTMH's Love your Layout video as my guide and tried to follow it pretty closely! 

Here's CTMH's sample layout from the video:
 

And here's mine :)  I changed out the papers to work better for my pool pictures.  I did create the pinwheel flower using ribbon, stickease and brads.  I also did some layering of the embellishments like they did.  And I added some color to my journaling as well.  
Best part----- DONE in about 20 minutes :)

What do you think???

Head on over to Studio J and create YOUR version of June's Love your Layout!  THEN order your FREE Jpeg!!!!!  How great!

OK, I truly need to get more digitally up to date. The digital Layouts are so great and look so much like you added all the embellies by hand. TFS and for participating in the hop.

~*~ Holiday Blog Hop ~*~

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop. I made a couple of things to share with you today. I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone.  As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape.  At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone.  Supplies: Styrofoam cone Pearl Floral Pins CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper D1320 Shining Star Stamps I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason .  I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one.   Supplies: Styrofoam Cone CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers K& Co paper D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel!  The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25 ....

April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks for joining me for another weekend of Blog Hoppin Fun!   If you have come here from Tina's Blog , you are on the right path!  Keep on hoppin until the end :) April Showers is our theme, and I went with the "shower" theme and made baby cards for baby showers!  I am addicted to making these stacked present cards lately!  I first saw one that my friend Jayma made, who found it on Vicki's blog.  Recently, I saw a couple cute ones on Haley's blog too.   I cut my paper strips at 1.25 tall x 3, 2.25 and 1.5 long.  Add a ribbon down the center, or just a bow on top and you're set!  I used the Sweet Baby stamp set and Polka Dot Alphabet for my sentiments.   Now I'm all set for the next baby shower..... (though I don't know any preggos right now).   This design is also great for Birthday Cards too!!!!  I made two each of these cards and stamped Birthday sentiments on them :) Supplies: BOY: Miracle Level 2 Sweet Baby...
