Christmas In July

Hi there! Do you ever wonder what Mr. and Mrs. Clause do during the summer? Well here is what I think they do! ;)

I placed my images on my Gypsy according to how I want them to cut.

I placed all the color pieces for the correct images. (I was able to use all scraps too)

Mr. and Mrs. Clause love to relax on their own tropical island! Who wouldn't want to? I hope you enjoyed the card!

Card Recipe:

Green cardstock from Joanns
Blue patterned paper from Sizzix Mat Stack
Island and tree is from Life is a Beach cartridge
Bikini is from Life is a Beach
Santa Hat is from Christmas Cheer
Sentiment is from Pink By Design

~Smash Book~

Hello!!  I have been hearing about Smash Books on several blogs but haven't seen them in the stores where I am yet so I decided to make my own! I love notebooks and have them for everything! Bobbi Jo SweetSassyDiva was really nice to send me a youtube video explaining what a smash book was! I fell in love!! I always check the adorable notebooks in the dollar bins at Michaels and Joanns and found a really cute hot pink and white striped notebook. It has a little green turtle and a postmark on the lower corner. I knew that I could turn it into a smash book! Here is how I did it:

Here is the notebook from Michaels!

I added the red double sided tape for some rick rack.

I added some green rick rack!

placed my cuts on my E2 from the Life is a Beach Cartridge

Placed my paper accordingly!

Here are my cuts ready to assemble!

Here is my Smash Notebook ready to fill! :)

I added some white faux stitching with my new gel pen!

Now that my Smash Book is done I can fill it with all my treasures! I hope you like it! I know I sure did!

Beach Party Blog Hop

Aloha~ and welcome to the BeAcH PaRtY Blog Hop!!!!! If you just happened to come across my page and would like to start at the beginning click here! If you came from Kristin you are in the right spot! :) I love the beach and couldn't make up my mind on what I was going to make so I decided to make a couple of beachy easel cards!

Here is my first card:

I used the Cricut Life is a Beach Cartridge for the adorable flip flops and the DCWV Tahiti Beach Stack for the cute paper! You're the flip to my flop stamp is from Pink By Design!

Here is my other card~

I loved this paper combo by DCWV Tahiti Beach Stack. I stamped Surfer Anya and colored her in with my Copic Markers. I added some glitter to her swim top, bracelet, and flower in her hair. I cut her out using my spellbinders and mounted it on some matching blue patterned paper! Happy Summer is from the Pink By Design Summer Vacation stamp set.

Don't forget to leave a comment! There is some great blog candy on this hop!
