Summertime Blog Hop

Welcome to the "Summertime" Blog Hop!

Despite it being HOT HOT HOT in many parts of the country including the Southwest where we live SUMMER just started this past week . We've decided to share with you a SUMMERTIME" project for the blog hop today were in; which includes something that represents summer to us. 

For this hop there will be a grand prize winner who will win $60 of new scrapbooking supplies, sponsored from Zannie Berrie Scrapbooking.
In order to be eligible for prize you must comment and follow each blog.

If you came here from Cathie then you are in the right place, if not please go back to the beginning of the blog hop @ Ashley's blog; as you don't want to miss any of the amazing projects.

For today's project we made a picnic basket.  It is my first three dimensional project; although more challenging than a card I can see myself doing another in the future.

I like picnic baskets & going on picnics so I picked it for this hop.  We've filled ours with strawberries as they are a favorite fruit and we've enjoyed picking them in the past & love eating them.  I love gingham so I had to include the liner on it!

Recipe: 

• DCWV paper & Recollections paper.
• Cuts from Clearly Digi Stamps.
• Sentiment from Silhouette store & modified.
• StampIn' Up Ink

Get Inky! Stamps ~ Designer Challenge #6

Today's card is inspired from our challenge "Boys/Men Challenge!!   Masculine cards can be difficult to create for many & they can be for me too!  But once you start on them they get easier.  

This card does not reflect my Father in anyway other than the "Miss you" sentiment!  He lives back in the Midwest but we talk often and we see each other throughout the year.  I found the svg and it fit the challenge and reflects the Southwest where I live.  I then began picking out paper & piecing together colors that complimented each other.   I really like how it turned out and could see this card used for multiple occasions throughout the year.

My design:

For my card I used the Sew Sweet Cupcakes stamp set which you can find here.  You can find out about our current challenge posted on our Get Inky! Challenge Blog.
