Summer Scrappin with My Creative Scrapbook

Hi Friends!

I'm back today to share my remaining layouts made with my August Creative Kit from My Creative Scrapbook.

This month's fun kit features the bright and cheerful Lemonade Stand Collection from Bo Bunny as well as some other embellishments from American Crafts.

  
 I loved all the fun strawberries in the kit and I knew right away that they would be perfect to use on this layout of my daughter eating her freshly picked wild strawberries.

There are so many fun tags and title cards in this kit, it makes it easy to add titles and journaling to your projects.

More fun berries...and I just LOVED the little rainbow polkadot alphabet!

My family doesn't really get the opportunity to do much traveling in the summer so we have to make the most of what we have close to where we live. My hunny has a second job at a hotel in town that has an outdoor swimming pool. We get to use it any time we want for free and it is a great way to beat the heat during this super hot summer we are having! A staycation is a great thing!

There was even a STAYCATION sticker!!! how perfect was that?!? And I just loved the one that says 'the best things in life are free'...couldn't be better! And those shades...love 'em!

It was my baby girls first time in a swimming pool. The water was a bit cool and I thought she would cry but she loved it...she's not a fan of this heat either!

I fussy cut the sun and clouds out of one of the papers in the kit.

The big orange tag is just tucked under all the other embellishments. It has some hidden journaling on it.

Finally here's a little peek of my last layout. I'm going to have a detailed step by step on how I put this layout together a little later on in the month, so make sure you watch for that.

For all the details about subscriptions for this kit as well as the 3 other monthly kits from My Creative Scrapbook check out the webpage here.

Have a great day!

CWC: Taste of Summer Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome to DAY 2 of the Taste of Summer Blog hop at Cooking with Cricut. If you are following along you should have arrived from Hattie's wonderful blog. If you get lost along the way or you have stumbled across this hop and would like to start from the beginning, head on back to Cooking with Cricut for the complete hop schedule.

Now...

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!!!! What says summer better than a double or even a triple scoop ice cream cone! I used the Once Upon a Princess Cartridge to create this fun card today. The cut only came with two scoops, but I cut out an extra one to make this 3 scooper!

 I love the look of embossing folders on plain white cardstock! They create such a great base. I used the Swiss Dot embossing folder from Cuttlebug this time.

Well that is it for me today, now please hop on over to Lynden's blog and see what she has cooked up for you.

Thanks so much for joining us :)
I love to read your kind comments.

I got PUBLISHED {again}

I was thrilled to get the email from Jackie at Canadian Scrapbooker that they had chosen one of my layouts to go in the Summer 2011 issue of the magazine! Of course I replied right away accepting their offer. I love Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine, it is my favorite, and I am so happy they chose my layout.

My layout has the prestigious "First Time Published" mark beside it because this is actually my first time being published in the magazine. My previous layout published by the CS gals was in their Basics Series Vol 5. so it didn't count.

This layout is one of my Dad, and fit in to the magazines 70's theme because I told about my Dad's old car, his 1971 MGB. I love the main photo of him with the top down, a t-shirt and a touque...I don't think you can get much more Canadian than that! And who ever though my Dad was so cool?!?!?

Here is my layout, check it out on pg 27

This is the Summer 2011 issue

Here's a pic of my actual layout
