I love Sunshine so when I heard about this hop I immediately said, " IM IN"!
This is what I have made for you today, this makes my day feel like there is a little more sunshine in it.

My layout today is for my daughter who lives all the way in Oregon...so I (her mom) and my youngest daughter (her sister) and my grandchildren ( here niece and nephews) decided we would send her a box of Florida Sunshine. I gave her several years ago one of those really nice Creative Memory Wall Hangers that you can put up layouts on. Well, she does not scrapbook so my job is to keep it furnished with scrapbook layouts throughout the year. (Something I fail miserably at!) So I jump at the chance to create a layout for her. So when the theme of this blog hop was announced I knew that was perfect. Due to it being the very end of the school year and end of baseball season we were crunched for time to get the rest of the box ready. If you come back here on Thursday of this next week I will have a pic of the rest of the box for you. My grandchildren are working on creating something for "their" Aunt Holly...whom they adore I might add! So, here is my layout...Aunt Holly came during the summer of 2011 and we went to Epcot one day while she was here. This is a picture taken of the three kids and her while there. She will be very excited about this layout.

Challenge:   Use a Bike

Dates:  May 21-27,  2013

Hello Everyone.  I scrapbook a mixture of whatever inspires me  along with a little dab of chronological scrapping. Cause they HAVE to go in those albums in a very orderly fashion...heehee. So today, I have a layout from Easter 2011. It was a very special one cause both of my children that live here were there. That does not always happen. Well, I hope you like the layout and get inspired to "take a ride" down memory lane!



I used Echo Park's Sweet Day Collection for this layout along with some bling and pearl embellishments.
So head on over to Cuttin' and Stampin' to see all the other inspirations for this week.

Challenge:   Shaped Cards 

Dates:  May 14-20,  2013

 I created my first shaped card today. This is very simple and did not exactly turn out like I had envisioned, however, it is going in a box I am sending to my daughter in Oregon. The theme of the box is "Here's your Florida Sunshine." So I hope you enjoy this very simple, easy to make card....maybe you could even think of a way for me to make this card a little better. 

I cut out the sun from Hello Kitty Greetings at 6". The base of the card is the blackout cut welded together at the very tip top. I outlined the face cuts with a Stampin' Up orange marker. Then, I outlined the edges of the sun with a gold glitter Gelly Roll pen. (you cannot see this in my image.)

Head on over to Cuttin and Stampin to see all the shaped cards this week and to link up and join our challenge!

Challenge:   Children's Birthday

Dates:  April 30, 2013 to May 6, 2013

Hey come one over and see how I kick off our Children's Birthday week. And you will want to keep coming back the rest of the week to get some inspiration! I have been holding onto this adorable image for just the right way to use it...I do not own this cartridge yet but it is certainly on my want list. The image comes from Teddy Bear on Parade a fairly new cartridge for the Cricut machine...yes I am "old school" and do so LOVE my Cricut and Gypsy!! So here is a cute and adorable little card that I intend to hold onto until I have just the right little sweet girl to give it to.




We'd love you to link up and join our challenge!

So head over to Cuttin and Stampin and you can see the creations and even join our challenge.
