Summertime is coming to an end and with all the fun activities that went on there are guaranteed to be lots of pictures. Today I'm sharing an idea for you to show off and use all those fun pictures.</center>

The photos we take are extremely personal and tell a story. What a beautiful gift to give someone a picture card that is both personal and visually pleasing. For this card I printed out a photo I took with instagram and added a greeting "aloha" to match the scene in the picture.</div>

Doesn't that sound fun? Summertime is the perfect time to gather up your besties and head out on an adventure!! And I have the perfect card for you to create to invite them to come along!<br />
<br />
The colors, patterns and elements in the Sunkissed collection made it super easy to create my card.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I started with the appropriately named "Weekend Adventures" for the card base. I then trimmed a strip from the "Calendar Girl" paper and marked "x's" with a marker to indicate the weekend of fun. I adhered the calendar strip on an angle for interest. Next, I added some white alpha stickers from the Sunkissed collection and added some mini black stickers to finish the sentiment.<br />
I just fell in love with the cluster of flowers, so I fussy cut them from the paper and adhered them to the corners of the card with foam tape.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I added pearls to the flower centers for a sweet, feminine touch.<br />
And finally, I added the car sticker to finish the card. Here's a tip: I like to adhere stickers to cardstock first, then fussy cut them out so that I can adhere them to my cards with foam tape for dimension. And in this case, I also outlined the sticker with a black paint pen to provided added depth/dimension to the sticker.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you enjoyed my 'girls weekend' card!!<br />

We travel a lot as a family: by car, by plane, by foot. Not much by boat but we have done that. My kids are seasoned travelers, thank goodness. We drive a fair amount. It's easier to haul the comforts of home with us. Heidi's Special Delivery collection is a fantastic color scheme and theme for a road trip. Done here in Project Life style.

The journal cards aren't quite 3x4 so I backed each one with cardstock or coordinating patterned paper. Each card reflects the theme of the layout is it's own way.</div>

I just love that little map of the US. Originally I was going to hand stitch the route from Virginia to Pennsylvania but there wasn't much to stitch. I thought the little hearts from one of the patterned papers would be a cute way to "locate" where we drove to.</div>

The paperclip makes a fun embellishment for the journaling spot. The sentiment that was on the original spot didn't work for me so I covered it up with another piece of patterned paper with a subtle pattern suitable to write on top of.</div>

I came into the whole Project Life thing a little late and really am overwhelmed at the whole idea of documenting every day of my life. But that doesn't mean I can't still use the format in a manner that is fitting to the way I scrapbook and remember our journey.</div>

I love giving gifts of candy. They are inexpensive, easy to put together, and very well-received. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The cup decor is simple--a triangle banner and a bicycle. Doesn't the candy make it look delish? I created a coordinating tag by trimming and punching a journaling card. Yum! </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Isn't that little bicycle the cutest? I fussy cut it from a journaling card on one of the 12x12 prints. The bright yellow makes it perfect for a summertime gift. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I made the banner by cutting triangles from patterned paper and stitching them together. I attached the banner to the cup with a couple of well placed glue dots. </span><br />

I am amazed at the many things we can create with paper. The
possibilities are endless. Since it’s the summer month, I decided to push the
envelope a little and try to create a beach bag from paper. I’ve sewn bags
before so I used that experience to put this project together. I made a few changes since the paper cannot
be turned over after stitching and at the end, I found that nothing is
impossible with paper and a dose of the right inspiration.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Instructions:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Cut a 3” wide strip from 12x12 paper. Score the two long
ends on the ½” marks and fold. Repeat the process on another strip. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Sew the strips on two 12x12 sheets of identical
papers. To connect all strips, sew a
stitch on the last fold and then adhere the edge to the paper. *Since this is
paper and cannot be turned over to its right side so you will create the look
of sewn edges without actually sewing the last strip to the bag. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Cut another 3” wide strip and score the long ends on the ½”
marks. Add adhesive to the folded parts and adhere on the bottom of the bag.
Add a die cut border on the front side of the bag.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. Cut 4 1 ½” strips from 12x12 paper. Score the one of the strips on the ½” mark,
fold and overlap two together. Connect the strips with some machine stitch.
Repeat the same process on the other two strips to create handles. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. Round corners of the handles and place on the top center
of the bag. Attach some big buttons on both ends with embroidery floss. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. Decorate the front of the bag with paper, flowers and
stickers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*This bag is for decorative purposes only. Using it near or
in water will damage the bag.</div>

Hi everyone! <a href="http://thetuckerwolekclan.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><b>Julie</b></a> with you here today sharing a layout I made with the fun fun fun <a href="http://gcdstudios.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=204" target="_blank"><b>Sunkissed Collection! </b></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently I read a book called, "The Dog Lived, and So Will I" - and it was about a woman who's Beagle Dog survived cancer, and then soon after he had been gone through his cancer treatments, she developed Breast Cancer - and she focused how she was determined to beat cancer, because if her dog could live, so would she. It was an inspiring book, and I just loved her attitude and humor. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After reading the antics about her Beagle, it made my heart ache for my Beagle, Buddy that we lost 6 years ago. He was a joy, so fun, and even though he was diagnosed with Diabetes soon after we adopted him, and even went blind from his disease, he always came to help me wake up my son Adam every morning! Adam isn't a morning person, so having Buddy helped get him up in the morning! :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One morning, once I got Adam up, he flopped onto the bedroom floor and laid down next to Buddy and I just COULDN'T resist this photo op! LOL! </div>

I made the heart by punching several 1 inch circles and then when I had a piece of one of my 12x12 papers with negative circles all the way around it, I used that paper as a mask for my border edges</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the Die-Cut borders that comes in this collection has these little punch out circles in it. I punched them out and used them as confetti on my page </div>

I love gift giving and I love making gift bags! One of the best gift bags to decorate are lunch sacks! Yup those little bags your mom packed your PB&J in are so easy to create with!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
One of the best features about these bags are when they are folded flat you can use a boarder punch on the top and it cuts all the way through so its a nice even punch! <br />
<br />
I used the Sun Kissed Collection from <a href="http://www.gcdstudios.blogspot.com/">GCD Studios</a> to decorate this bag! I created the cute little flower from a fan fold die and it was the perfect embellishment next to my 'yum, yum, eat up' up' sentiment! <br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi my name is <a href="http://scrappingwithchristine.blogspot.com/">Christine</a> and I am addicted to border strips. There, I said it, and I feel better! Today I am here to share today one of my favorite ways to use border strips!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBPK6fFKKvtePE-o48BvGuEVEU3yS2dcU4Ln0FfW-8IEOKlXGdXULBpzkA0YDcDXHQq0WJydzqc2aqkTgrExICqfu1YqjeQOdRNMJtwIa-Bbfvyd_myDU5fZz-uR7lqAvhRfVrcFCuNMY/s1600/IMG_2199.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBPK6fFKKvtePE-o48BvGuEVEU3yS2dcU4Ln0FfW-8IEOKlXGdXULBpzkA0YDcDXHQq0WJydzqc2aqkTgrExICqfu1YqjeQOdRNMJtwIa-Bbfvyd_myDU5fZz-uR7lqAvhRfVrcFCuNMY/s1600/IMG_2199.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bet you are looking at my card right now and wondering where in the world the border strips are...I love to take them and fold them into medallion flowers creating unique flowers. I used two different scallop borders to create these ones and as you can see they have a slightly different look from your perfectly round medallion flowers. So the next time you pick up a border, stop and think if there is an out of the box way you can use it!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>All paper from Sunkissed 6x6 paper pad #2069; sentiment from Sunkissed Labels #2071</i></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My favorite paper in the pad is the nesting stars / wave. The 6x6 star paper is perfect for a shaped card. I started by cutting the center out to create a cool negative space for the wave pattern to show through.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I then curled some scrap from the swimming girl paper to create some fun dimension for the card. Attached to the back with scotch tape.</span></div>

I love the shades of blue in this line mixed with the peach! Such pretty beach-y colors.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjipTy-tAibzoQaGe6a4VMSAGa_nHkq4GhFNRsQ0iSb32ul4NSuBOuiT_z11mArfj6eoFHXCbUbnJK0Zo1nl_GuI1V65kfn_zxoWVlkx-oSI3VmxIiX0VTs_IvU0WxE3vfzti_XsStBOoA/s1600/afloat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjipTy-tAibzoQaGe6a4VMSAGa_nHkq4GhFNRsQ0iSb32ul4NSuBOuiT_z11mArfj6eoFHXCbUbnJK0Zo1nl_GuI1V65kfn_zxoWVlkx-oSI3VmxIiX0VTs_IvU0WxE3vfzti_XsStBOoA/s640/afloat.jpg" width="634" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I started by adding a wash of blue watercolor to the background of my page and splattering with mists.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCKsy77JGxD1ImrFSIiURhTdYe0w-YXn48Sas7mTWiRvfiwF6JR0_TSY33U-POooV7Wbx2ppEqKI_37Udp50tLgqQj8fF6QURzBYkdNoiumT86gjEhmL6cR7Y-7iHyZWRnUSLU5kG-YTU/s500/afloat-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCKsy77JGxD1ImrFSIiURhTdYe0w-YXn48Sas7mTWiRvfiwF6JR0_TSY33U-POooV7Wbx2ppEqKI_37Udp50tLgqQj8fF6QURzBYkdNoiumT86gjEhmL6cR7Y-7iHyZWRnUSLU5kG-YTU/s400/afloat-2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Then I just layered some papers behind my photos and added some stickers here and there. I felt like I needed some more to frame the page, so I added some bits of border strips and machine stitching!<br />
<br />

With the exception of the small frame of cardstock and jute, this layout is created exclusively from patterned paper. I chose the Ice Cream truck 3x4 card as the basis for the colors on my layout then thumbed through the patterned papers looking for the same colors.</div>

The bright colors and patterns in the papers create visual interest on the page yet they need to be balanced so as not to take over the focus of the page, the pictures. The papers play a support role. By repeating the star theme, I was able to calm down some of the distraction caused by the multiple patterns on the page.</div>

In looking back over my layouts, I realized that I usually have one multi-colored patterned paper and two or three primarily single color patterned papers with a solid to tie things together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Support players like chalk (to edge the star pieces and draw the eye to the center of the star and thus the picture), Xacto blade (for fussy cutting) and die cuts help you be selective about the patterns you utilize and how they appear. That teal star is cut from the patterned paper made of waves. If I had not told you that, I doubt you would have known that!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope I have inspired you to play with your patterned papers and see them in a different light! I challenge you to give it a try!</div>

Sign me up! <a href="http://www.paperscissorsandglue.blogspot.com/">Katrina </a>here, and title work on a page is one of my favorite, if NOT my favorite thing to do when creating. Occasionally I do get stuck for titles and Pinterest is a great resource to help you figure one out. I just did a search for quote and then made it my own.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These pictures of Ella in her Doggles sunglasses just make me happy to look at. The Sunkissed collection makes me feel that way also, so I thought I would combine the two!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/katrinahunt/9120686547/" title="K_HuntKeepCalm600 by KatrinaHunt, on Flickr"><img alt="K_HuntKeepCalm600" height="600" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5534/9120686547_9908106fe0_o.jpg" width="600" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I knew I wanted to put a sun in the corner and the pattern papers in the collection make it a fun one. I also cut part of the pie-chart stickers to put in the corner as the center point.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/katrinahunt/9120683331/" title="K_HuntKeepCalmSun600 by KatrinaHunt, on Flickr"><img alt="K_HuntKeepCalmSun600" height="400" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7342/9120683331_527f6af2e9_o.jpg" width="600" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now for the title work. As soon as I saw the ampersand paper, I knew I could include that into a title. And bonus, with all the space, I could make it a big title. I cut the word "keep" out with my Cameo using the Lobster font.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And the rest of the title. I cut "soak" out of that fun alphabet paper. I used some of the chipboard letters and covered them with some paint from a Jenni Bowlin Lemon Drop paint dauber.</span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Play with your titles and make some fun ones. It will bring more interest to your page and make people wonder why you titled your page like you did!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Hi...It's Kelly here today to share a patriotic page with Heidi Sonboul's Special Delivery collection. The red and blue in this collection are perfect for a page of my very own Captain America....who is by far our favorite Avenger. It doesn't get much more American than that :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.paperscissorsandglue.blogspot.com/">Katrina</a> here to share a patriotic layout today with you. And what goes better on a patriotic layout than stars?! I will admit, I had a little trouble when I decided I wanted to use stars on my layout. This was before I found these pictures that I hadn't scrapped yet. For some reason, stars are not a go to embellishment for me. But they are super easy and fun, so they just might have become a staple in my bag of tricks!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Special Delivery collection is perfect for all those fun July pictures that you will probably be taking tomorrow. These pictures are of "The Wall That Heals" and I wanted to also do a layout about remembering why we have the freedoms we do.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just a shot of the journaling. I am going to tell a little secret on myself. I messed up on the word emotional. And since I was writing directly on my background, it just can't be "thrown" away and started over. I just rewrote the word on a scrap piece of paper and then popped it up. Then I decided to go ahead and do the name of the exhibit also, just to tie things together.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I embellished the front of the bag by layering a variety of paper flags--anchored by a stars-and-stripes sticker--and tying on a <b><a href="http://www.averyelle.com/die-simply-tags-everyday-elle-ments/" target="_blank">tag</a> </b>with some festive twine.</span><br />

Can you believe it's already July?! Holy cow, has this year flown!<script src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"></script></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's not let this month slip away too quickly, let's have a party. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week at GCD Studios we are celebrating the 4th of July.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm proud to kick-off the party with a super darling banner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The banner is made entirely from the Special Delivery collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've complimented the colors with coordinating card stock.</div>

I think I'll laminate each banner and keep it on my front door.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.paperscissorsandglue.blogspot.com/">Katrina</a> here with a layout from the collection, <a href="http://gcdstudios.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=203">Special Delivery.</a> I will admit that the map paper was intimidating to me at first. But, I happened to be looking around at cut files and found these light bulb cut files in the TwoPeas store. Let's just say then the light bulb went off!</span></div>
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/katrinahunt/8756212712/" title="K_HuntTheyLight600 by KatrinaHunt, on Flickr"><img alt="K_HuntTheyLight600" height="600" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7331/8756212712_9c52f669a0_o.jpg" width="600" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love this globe cut file and the paper worked perfectly with it. For my layers underneath my "love" border, I used bits from the Spencer paper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wrote each of the dogs names on the plain lightbulb shapes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I tied some jute twine on the FAMILY paper clip as a little touch to it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/katrinahunt/8755091773/" title="K_HuntTheyLightClip600 by KatrinaHunt, on Flickr"><img alt="K_HuntTheyLightClip600" height="400" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8403/8755091773_d35ffdeefd_o.jpg" width="600" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used a combination of the letter stickers from <a href="http://gcdstudios.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=203">Special Delivery</a>, a couple of die cuts and some additional letters for my title. I tucked the piechart sticker from the collection underneath my "W".</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are so many fun elements in the <a href="http://gcdstudios.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=203">Special Delivery</a> collection, be sure to pick it up soon!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Summer everyone! <strong><em><a href="http://cokiepopaper.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Angi</span></a></em></strong> here with a fun project for your kiddos. It involves a bit of recycling too. All those brown paper bags that you have lying around will come in handy for this one.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm a teacher and I love to suggest fun activities that will help children retain their academic skills during the lazy days of summer. This project will help your children practice their handwriting and send sweet notes to friends and relatives living far away.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Heidi Sonboul's Special Delivery collection is the perfect choice for this project. Just take a look at the mailman on the paper. The text on the paperclip adds a great added touch to your projects too!</span><br />

My daughter has always been mischievous, even as a baby. I really wanted to capture that with this layout. The Special Delivery paper worked perfectly! It's so flexiable, and can be used for girl or boy layouts. The layout is feminine thanks to all the beautiful floral papers, but it isn't overly girly thanks to the vibrant blues and greens. <br />

I added the little strip of journaling in with all the pretty pieces of
pattern paper. The journaling it's self is part of a little poem about a
mischievous little girl. I cut out the title - "mischievous" with my Silhouette Cameo.<br />

I knew I wanted to do a 'photo corner' look around the whole pages, so I started with that...and than just built everything up from the center.</div>

I measured approximately 2 3/4 inches from each corner, and used a 1/2 inch circle punch to cut notches.</div>

Next...I cut 2, 3 inch squares, embossed them, cut them diagonally, and adhered them to the corners with foam tape. I then topped them off with some thin ribbon...tucking them into the notches.</div>
