Hello everyone! Wednesday's challenge over at CRAFT WITH CUTTERS  was to use any cartridge that starts with "S". My post didn't get completed until today because, for some reason, I couldn't get any pics to upload through Blogger! It finally worked!!  I chose to celebrate summer with a summer layout!  I created my page using the Summer Vacation seasonal cartridge and the Pack Your Bags cartridge. Hope everyone is having a great start to your summer! Mine is packed full of activities but I'm loving it! Hope you found time to hop over to  CRAFT WITH CUTTERS  to see other fun projects made using lots of different Cricut cartridges! 

Welcome to the CookingWithCricut.com and PaperCraftingWorld.com Designers June Blog Hop. Get ready for two days of great projects with each day showcasing different designers and projects. If you have come from Suzanne's Blog then you are moving along. If you would like to start from the beginning, please head over to COOKING WITH CRICUT . This month our hop theme is all about Birthdays and one special one in mind. Our wonderful DT Coordinator Jen Hudson’s birthday just happened to fall on Saturday so we decided to make birthday inspired projects with a “Jen” theme in mind. Our go to gal is a die-hard Florida Gator Fan. So we decided to use elements on our projects that reflected Our GATOR FOR LIFE Gal’s FANCY;  Florida, The Florida Gators and anything that would make you think of the Sunshine State. Jen is the last on our blog line up so be sure to hop through and leave her some extra special love at the end! When I think of The Sunshine State, I think of vacation so ...

I was part of a tag swap with Kathy Files, aka The Paper Phenomenon! We had to do a summer theme and use an unconventional shape for our tag. I used the Summer Vacation seasonal cartridge for all the cuts. Love that cartridge! The camera was cut at 4.53" H. I used pop dots to separate the layers and add dimension. I have lots of stamps that are a travel theme so I just picked several different ones to support my theme. Hope you like it - and that the swap recipients like them! The back, where a favorite summer memory can be journaled. All 5, ready to be mailed out! These were a lot of fun to make! If you haven't checked out Kathy Files' blog, The Paper Phenomenon , you need to! It's great and so inspiring! Her projects are amazing!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
