Summer Breeze...

Question... How is it almost October???

Seeing as time is just flying by I took this new line from My Little Shoebox and tried to hold onto summer just a little longer!

This is a picture of Addison with Papa from our trip to the beach..

I loved how free she was in the water,

loving every splash and each chill brought on by the waves.

In this layout I used the craft knife to cut the precious banner

and then used mini glue dots for a touch of dimension.

This flower has special meaning to me...

my dear friend Pattie showed me how to make these flowers

and now I am just looking for random ribbons and fabric to make more of these beauties!!!

Again, I am a sucker for dimension so taking the Chipboard Alphas

and mixing them up a little was super fun!

I {heart} photo booth photos... Avery does not!!!

Still, I wanted to capture this moment because it defines my daughter's independence which I love about her.

She is her own person and has this sweet yet confident personality.

The "B" sides of this line just stir up creativity and this one happened to remind me of the waves from Santa Cruz...

So the waves then become pockets for extra journal-ing treats!

Punches, tags, Glossy Accents... Oh My!!!

This is a card I made for hubby before a road trip...

he likes finding random things I stuff in his suitcase and it has become a fun little game over the years.

See... I even stuff within stuff!!!

I am totally on a pocket kick right now so thank you for baring with me!

This card came about by accident... I was playing with the precious die cuts and happened to "over cut" one of them and it landed by the Fiskars flower punch... SCORE!!!

The plastic was from the Chipboard Alpha packaging...

reduce, reuse & recycle

Thanks for stopping by!!!
