Merry Christmas~~~~~~

Welcome to BBTB2 blog hop..I just love Summertime.......But one of my favorite things about Summer is Christmas in July~~~~That's why I decided to make my ice-cream cone into a Santa Clause..... Maria was our host this week, she asked us to use the ice-cream cone off of Sweet Treats~~~~~~I think he turned out pretty cute..(wink)
Also, I decided to give away some little Halloween candy...I heart Summertime and Christmas, but if I had to pick a month I adored the most it would have to be October...because of Halloween, Fall sweaters, football games, colorful leaves. (sigh).....Remember it is now the dog days of Summer..EEK...These stamps and my favorite Tim Holtz ink will for sure get you in the mood for cooler weather...Hugs to all~~~~~~Please leave me a comment and I will pick a winner July 30th, Saturday...Also, please continue on your hop over to the creative and sweet Lori's blog and see what she created..Hugs to All~~~~~~~~

Chill out and Read~~~~~~

We are definently readers in my family, that is why I chose to make a bookmark this week for the BBTB2 challenge. Melissa is our host and she asked us to use the penguin cut from the Jolly Holidays cart. I personally don't have this cart so I decided to use JOTS. I wanted to make my penguin look intelligent so I added little red  glasses to her face. (LOL)...One definently doesn't have to wear glasses to be smart though..(wink)...I was just having a little fun...Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today..I hope that I inspired you in some way to create..Hugs...

Strawberry Picking....

It just doesn't feel like Summer unless one is eating a big bowl of strawberries..(sigh)..This year my kiddos and I went Strawberry picking..It was very hot that day, but my little ones just picked and picked. This was the first year that we had done this.  I have decided we will add this to our list of family traditions. (wink)..Anyway, today I have a project I made for The Cutting Cafe....I used the sets called Scallop Circles and Fruit Greetings. I actually took the Scallop Circle and cut, scored, and glued it into a basket to hold my little fruit...Next, I took the strawberries and cuttle-bugged them to give them dimension..Thanks so much for stopping by today..Make sure you take a peek at The Cutting Cafe stamps..So darling...Thanks for taking your time to come by..Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

The picture above is one of the little berries in the basket...

Greetings on this beautiful Fourth of July~~~~~~ Today is BBTB2 challenge..We were asked by Heather to use the star fish off of Lifes a Beach. I am a little late getting mine up and running because I spent the day yesterday at the Beach with my family. We had so much fun, My kiddos remind me of little fish, as we spent all day swimming and building sand castles, collecting shells, sea glass....It was relaxing and fun.At one point while Belle and Aiden played with Grandpa, my Mom was reading on her E-Reader and my hubby and I layed on a blanket listening to the sounds of our laughing children and the gorgeous waves.(sigh)...What a day! I had so much fun creating this little scene..The picture below my project is a picture of some sand stars I made of my little family of four..LOL...Hope u enjoy my project and it inspires u to make your own little star fish..Make sure your projects are new for this challenge...We love to see what u all come up with and if your creation is chosen u get to have a blinkie to add to your blog. FUN~~~~~~~
