*~* 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.

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)

CTMH-- September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favori

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for September 2012, featuring Fall Favorites   All artwork on the hop will feature Fall Favorites!  This is a set of 11 stamps and it's really making me want FALL---- NOW!!!  How cute is this set!?  If you have come here from  Susan's Blog y ou are on the right path. For my card today, I used the new Clementine paper pack, which is so versatile!  I cut the tag from Art Philosophy and stamped Fall Favorites in Brown Staz-on ink, then colored the pumpkin and leaves with my new markers.  I found that they don't blend and shade terribly well on Kraft cardstock- but the color showed up.  I added some of my favorite Burlap Ribbon to the card :) Do you think I like pumpkin pie???  Just a little bit ;) The September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favorites is available September 1-30th.  With any $50 purchase, this set is yours for $5....
