Summer 2013 "Smash book" journal

Happy Friday!!

Today I have a fun "smash book" style journal I wanted to share with you!! My Aunt Ginger over at My Sister's Scrapper created this a couple days ago (you can find it HERE) and I jusr had to make myself one!!  We document our summer adventures every year and I thought this little journal would be perfect!! Something this kids can grab and jot down their thoughts too.

I used the amazing Echo Park "Happy Camper" paper line to create my journal!! I had to have this paper when I saw it for the first time!! We are a BIGTIME outdoors family so this line was perfect!!!

Yes, that is indeed a real jean pocket!! I cut it out from an old pair...thought it would the perfect pocket to hold all our pens and pencils so we always had one handy!!

Challenge Me Monday #165 and EXCITING NEWS!!!

Hello all!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! I know I did!! I'm SUPER EXCITED to share with you all that I made the design team over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge!! I am so overjoyed and am so honored to be apart of this team!!! :)

Okay, so this weeks challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge was to create a project using a frame.  Heres the card I came up with!! I was in need of a bridal shower card so I thought using the Forever Young cartridge was perfect. The silhouette and the frame in the background were both cut using this cartridge!! I even got my sewing machine out and sewed around the background edge!!

Good Afternoon!!!

WOWie....having a blast over here at the Hobby Hideaway for a scrapbooking retreat!!

Okay, so the challenge over at CardzTV this week is to make a project with something that you'd put in a jar.  Unfortunately I didn't have the fabulous new stamp Mary created so I cut out a jar using the Everyday Cards Cartridge and filled it with flowers!! It's a little hard to see in the photo but my leaves are actually glued to a real twig...to give it that "extra touch"!! I did use the new "Oh Baby" stamp set Mary created!!
