Cruising along...

Hi there,

I hope everyone is having a great week. My good friend Suzy West has been staying with me for the last few days and we have been working non-stop on CHA projects for the WOW embossing powders booth. So fun!1 I will be back on next week to share those projects.

I have a fun layout to share with you today using the new Shoreline collection from American Crafts. Have I mentioned already how much I love the Shoreline collection? The colors are so bright and fun and perfect for summer. I loved this little bicycle die cut that came in the remarks die cut shapes pack. It was perfect for these photos I recently took of my daughter on her beach cruiser.

Cruising:

I used my Cameo Silhouette to cut out the sun shapes.

I added some American Crafts glitter tape and punched it with my EK Success zig zag border punch.

TFS!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your summer day!

Catch a wave...

Hi friends,
I hope that you are enjoying your week so far. My Mom has been visiting for the last few days and we have been busy with all kinds of day trips and activities with the kids.
My Mom just started scrapbooking recently so she was looking for some ideas and supplies. We decided to make the drive up to Green Tangerines in Rocklin a couple days ago so that she could see their store. It is the largest scrapbooking store in our area.
While we were there I was ecstatic to see that they had the new Shoreline collection from American Crafts (I have been waiting to get my hands on this line).

We came back home to work on projects and I made this layout:

Catch a wave layout:

I love the colors in this line. It was perfect for this photo I had taken of a surfer at Ocean Beach (in San Francisco) a few years ago.

I cut out the scalloped background with my silhouette. I love how the scallops resemble waves. Then I added a few popped up blue pieces to the inside of some of the scallops.

I added a fringe paper strip and some fabulous shoreline embellishments and my layout was done in no time.

I'm thinking of making a card with this collection tonight. I think I'm hooked!
