Vacation???

That's a good excuse for ignoring your blog, right?

I'm here to tell ya, this summer has just plain gotten away from me!

We've done some redecorating and a bit of traveling and I have just lost all track of time.

Aside from a stray page here or there...I've been doing pretty good to just keep up with my 

assignments for the wonderful ladies at Scrapbook Generation...

...which brings me to the July reveal of CREATE!

Another big issue this month, featuring both Bazzill and We R Memory Keepers.

There are a ton of great ideas and some awesome sketches in the July issue.

I have four projects included this month-

The first layout uses a stencil as part of the background design.

While I love the look of "mixed media", I rarely use anything "messy" on my pages so this truly was a bit of a challenge for me. I had a lot of fun just playing with the mist and the stencil and I certainly plan to branch out and do this again.

For the second page, I used We R Memory Keeper's products for the manufacturers challenge-

I REALLY love their stuff...

the colors are so bold and bright, right up my alley! 

The final 2 projects, were to create a tag and card using the sketches.

The tag uses more of those bright, happy colors that I love from We R Memory Keepers. 

Since we have quite a few July birthdays around here, this little guy will come in pretty handy this month.

I am NOT a great card maker, but the sketch really does allow you to get one together pretty quickly.

Having all the measurements right at your fingertips, makes it a breeze. Even for me.

So, be sure to take a peek at the July edition of CREATE,

 So many pretty things this month.

And...while your at Scrapbook Generation be sure to check out ALL of the new products in the store.

Those adult coloring books and markers are calling my name!

Once again, thanks so much for taking time out of your busy day to stop by my little piece of the web.

 Have a blessed day! :)
