My project for the hop was so much fun to make. I created a single page layout in honor of the 4th of July. This could easily become a two page layout.

 I actually used 2 files from Creative Kutz. The title can be found here and the bears and embellies here. I used lots of pop dots to bring those fireworks to life!

 Closeup of my title and main firecrackers. I love the glitter paper I used, don't you?

 Lots of fireworks waiting to explode!! LOL!

 And of course a closeup of my cute little bears waiting to enjoy the celebration.

Next up is the talented and oh so sweet SUZANNE!

We're so excited to be doing this hop and we have a fabulous lineup with some very talented ladies AND our little twist for the blog candy we will be giving out!

We hope you enjoy all of the great work this Design Team has done and find some summer inspiration. Happy Summer!

If you came from the fabulous Gaby then you are in the right spot!

Here is the first of my fun Summer Projects, Live to Swim. For this layout I used patterned paper I already had in my stash along with some diecuts (lifeguard chair and lifesaving ring) that I recieved in a die cut swap. Of course I used some goodies from Ginger Snap Scraps too!!

Supplies from Ginger Snap Scraps:

Red Bazzill and White Bazzill

Red Copic to color my Chipboard

Yellow Sew Easy Floss

Note: I love to use Copics to color and alter my chipboard letters and elements. So much easier than pulling out the paint. And with so many colors to chose from the sky is the limit!!

The little fox was created with the Cricut and added to this kit.

The little owl was also made with the Cricut and added to this kit.

 I just love this tent! Notice how I added the twine as the tent ties?

 And my bear's cute sign looks even better using Bo Bunny papers for the letters.

Bo Bunny Camp A Lot 6x6 Paper Pad

Jillibean Soup Beanstalks Baker's Twine

School Bus Mini Album

Can I just say I adore this?? You will too!! I promise! The last 2 weeks, BAP Projects from Creative Kuts were to make this adorably cute Bus mini Album. I will see many of these being made in my future. You can create them with any number of pages really. I did 6 pages plus covers. I still need to embellish my pages but I just couldn't wait to share  this with you all!

 These were cut with an SVG file that can be purchased at Creative Kuts for just $6.00, what a steal!

If you don't have a machine that can cut SVG files there are other formats available as well as patterns where you can them out by hand.

 Hope you enjoy my school bus! You can create a tour bus, a camper, a carpool van, so many different types of buses. The sky is  the limit!

Doodlebug Designs Friday

Today's theme is all about Doodlebug Designs, and my challenge from Ginger Snap Scraps was to create something using Doodlebug items. My son has been asking for a custom pencil holder to put on his desk.

 Perfect for the Doodlebug Designs Boys Only Paper Line and Doodle Twine!

The pencil cup I used was purchased from Oriental Trading Company. The first thing I did was cover it in Doodlebug paper.

Next I added another patterned paper along with his name, an airplane paper piecing from my Cricut cart Boys will be Boys. The finishing touch was tying 3 colors of Doodlebug Primary Twine around the entire thing, my son's favorite part.

The items I used from my favorite online store Ginger Scrap Snaps are:

Doodlebug Designs Boys Only 6x6 Paper Pad

Doodlebug Baker's Twine

Bazzill

Cricut Cartridges

Spring Fairies

Time for another DT Project for Creative Kuts.
I have created this adorable Spring Layout using Creative Kuts' file, Precious Love.

Page 1

 Page 2

Some closeups of my girls!

View showing you the 3D pop dots.

These darling fairies scream Spring and Flowers to me! So I paired them up with some patterned paper and diecuts from Storytellersclub. I used Bazzill cardstock and embellished them with jewels, inking, and pop dots for some great 3D pop! Be sure to visit Creative Kuts so you can see all the cute svg files and digital stamps they have in store for you! I am also entering this layout in the Homespun monthly Challenge.
