Clearsnap and Trinity Paper Arts Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the Clearsnap and Trinity Paper Arts Blog Hop!! Our Design Teams have "teamed up" to share layouts, projects, and more featuring Trinity Paper Arts' paper collections and Clearsnap's distinctive inks and accessories. From sports to summer and everything in between, kick your sandals off, grab a cold lemonade and enjoy the inspiration.  

My project today is a card using Clearsnap Smooch Ink in Siren 
and the fun Trinity Paper Arts Surf N Swim Collection, and I love it! :) 

When I made these squares I thought a POP of Siren Smooch Ink 

would make them stand out more, so I edged each one after I stitched them. 

I also edged the base of the card after I stitched it.

 See how it makes them pop? I love it!

 It was a fun and very "relaxing" card. Great, now I am longing for the beach! LOL

And now, for the inspiration!!!!

My friend Melissa sent me this poem for my

sons in baseball. I loved it so much , I thought I would get all 

 crafty I would print it up and

then frame it or laminate it for the baseball field! :) 

Making The Team was the perfect collection for this page. 

I added a few stickers from the Making The Team Collection.

I also used the alphabet but I wanted to change it up a little so I used the

Viva Decor Liquid Pearls to coat them and make them copper. :)

That's it for me today, we are most likely in the field all morning

since we have 2 baseball games today! :) 

Have fun with your blog hop! Happy National Scrapbook Day!!

~New "Do" & Waves Of Fun~

Good morning friends,

If you are on my Facebook you know I got a new "do" this week 

and if not just scroll down, I had about 4" cut off my hair. I like it! :) 

Anyways I wanted to share this layout that I forgot to share *gasp*

from last month's Scraptastic Club Kit.  

 It was such a fun kit with the funky artsy side. I loved using it. 

 I have been scrap-booking my gf's pictures (Jennifer) from

their beach vacation. It's so weird scrapbooking someone else's photos

but it is fun too! :) I used the add-on stamp kit too. 

 I rarely stamp on layouts but had fun with this one. 

I also stitched all around the layout with my sewing machine. 

Aren't these little tags cute? :) 

So how fun is this new "do"? I love it! :) 

Light and airy for summertime. 

Happy Friday my friends, stay tuned for tomorrow's post, we have a 

special blog hop with PRIZES coming tomorrow! :)
