Summer Fun

As summer approaches I'm longing for this year's family beach trip! 

And just in time for creating my scrapbook memories of our vacation, Fun Stampers Journey came out with the Summer Fun stamp set with lots of cool beach images! Which is also perfect for making playful summertime cards like this one. 

 

I love this little sand castle that I used to create the background and focal point for my card. I don't think we've ever been to the beach and not made a castle or two! 

How many of you ordered this set? What will you create with it? I hope you share. I've been seeing a lot of FSJ projects on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram! Keep 'em coming! Love them all!

Sun Anyone?

Because I miss summer already...

...I'm sharing a warm weather, beach card with you today. 

Hurricane Joaquin spun by the North Carolina coast over the weekend leaving us cold, windy and wet, causing me to miss the sun! It was cloudy for a week already before the hurricane neared! 

I used stamps from Fun Stampers Journey Surf's Up set for this card. 

I finally figured out how to get a watercolor look with the acrylic paints from the Journey Media collection. I put a small dab of paint on an acrylic block and added water with my brush until it looked nice and fluid. You'll have to play to get the exact amount of water and look you want to achieve. 

Well...I'm not missing the sun anymore now that I'm in Arizona at the Journey Station this week. Ah....sunshine!

On A Roll

I've been making so many cards and holiday projects lately that I haven't created any scrapbook pages in weeks! Oh no! I have so many fun summer photos too, so I decided to put down the holiday papers and accents to do a page. And guess what, I ended up doing two! Two very summery pages...ah, I'm going to miss summer!

Annual Beach Trip

School is just around the corner and for our family that means our annual trip to Carolina Beach is just days away! I can't wait to spend time with my guys, morning walks on the shore with sand between our toes, collecting sea shells. Oh and the food...sea food! We'll take lots of pictures so I can create scrapbook pages to help preserve our memories.
