School's Out for Summer ~ #166

Happy Sunday and welcome to Day #2 of the What's you Summer Blog Hop hosted by Ashley.

If you are following the hop you came from the super duper talented Momo's blog.  

For my project today I am using the adorable digi images by Digital Delights by Louby Loo.  Digi images saves lots of time in crafting and especially scrapbooking.  Just print out the image from your computer, cut out and design your project how you'd like.  In this project I am using the School Bus and the Checkerboard frame that can be found in the DDLL Digi Shop.  All of the images are very reasonably priced and are so super adorable.  Click here to visit the shop to see an array of digital delights.  :)

Checkerboard frame ~ add your own text from your computer.
All images come in .jpg and .png format. Click here to check it out.
Sun ~ 28mm iTop punch

Isn't the bus sooo stinkin' adorable?  Find it here in the DDLL Digi Shop!
It's only $1.00 -- WOW!  

To continue with the hop head over to my super talented friend Tanya's blog to see what she created for us.

What's Your Summer Blog Hop ~ Pool Party Scrapbook Pages

Welcome to the What's your Summer Blog Hop hosted by Ms. Ashley at My Scrappin' Palace.  Thank you Ashley for inviting me to hop along today. :)

If you are following the hop you should have arrived from my super talented friend Ms. Momo's blog.  Wow -- what a hard act to follow.  :)


Today's project's are all about summer and our favorite things to do.  


-----
My sister Tina has a beautiful backyard pool and we get together frequently to hang out by the their pool, grill up some burgers and watch the kids swim or play a game of volleyball in the pool -- in fact it's our favorite thing to do during the summer.  
I created this layout for some of our summer pictures.  
Simple but fun!  


I used the Seasonal cartridge Luau for the images. 
 Click HERE to see the images.

  

I adhered the ribbon on the back side of each photo mat, loosely tying a knot around the front.  I didn't adhere the ribbon down in the front as I will need this space to slip my picture in.  

I used my white gel pen on the palm tree and brown marker for extra doodling around all of the  photo mats and images.

The sun is cut at 4 inches

Pool Party is cut at 7" fit to length -- I used my Copic markers to color the drink glass, straw and fruit on the cup.  There is not a shadow for Pool Party so I created my own using blue card stock and cutting around for a shadow effect.  

Now hop on over to the super talented Tanya's blog to continue with the hop.
Thanks for stopping by and have a SUPER day!


Come back tomorrow as I will have another project tutorial for you.
