Summer Fun Blog Hop with Just a Scrappin'

Happy Weekend everyone!

I am so glad you took time out of your day to join Just A Scrappin's First DT Blog Hop!!

It is time to celebrate Summer!

If you started here, you will want to go back to Just a Scrappin' so you don't miss any wonderful creations! If you came here from Keia's blog, you are right on track! If you are lost, the full schedule is below :)

There is of course some great blog candy to win this weekend! Just A Scrappin is giving some away as are many of the individual members!
Including me!!

So to celebrate summer, I couldn't get the idea of a bright summer sun out of my head. Here is what popped out on the paper

The ribbon is from my stash. I used QQ Powder Puff ink in Lemonade to ink the embossed panel and one of their quotes in the middle of the sun. I added some yellow stickles to make it shine!!

Be a follower of my blog and leave me a comment letting me know what your favorite thing about summer is on this post to enter to win!

We all have birthdays!

Yes, we do! We all have birthdays! Every year!

So birthday pages are always needed! I LOVE this stack from DCWV, Celebrations! It is all birthday themed stuff. My co-worker is really getting some great pages!

I inked everything with QQ Powder Puff Ink in Blue Hawaiian.

I added twine accents in Maraschino.

and lots and lots of stickles!!

I pulled some coordinating ribbon from my stash and used Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher to make little flags by the journal lines.

I love the paper and I really think it showed!

Remember to stop by tomorrow for the Just A Scrappin blog hop!!

So Late Mother's Day Card

Happy 4th of July Everyone!

I would normally post something patriotic today, but I haven't made anything recently. Guess that means tonight I must take lots of pictures to scrapbook later and be able to show you next holiday!

Don't forget to enter the WEDDING challenge over at Just A Scrappin by the end of the night tonight! 

On to the card for today!

Well the good news is that I did give this card to my mom on Mother's Day. I was just going through my camera and realized I never shared!

My boyfriend didn't think I could make a nice card in under 10 minutes. Challenge accepted!

I needed two, one for my mom and one for his. I handed him a magazine and told him to pick one he liked and I would work from that.

I used Echo Park's Victoria Gardens 6x6 paper, buttons, ribbon, and flowers from my stash, twine in stone, want2scrap swirl pearls and quick quotes lemonade ink.

 

I think it turned out great. And since I was hand delivering and not mailing, I could use those big flowers and not worry about it getting torn up while going through the mail sorter :)

Challenge won!

I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday! I'll be back tomorrow with a manly card!
