Thanks for joining us for the last day of summer! Wait! It is not the last day of summer...Well, that is what google said when I consulted the good 'ole search engine for the date before I published the hop sign ups! But then again maybe it is...Summer is still around until 9:30 AM (EST) and then poof at 9:31 AM it is FALL!

So, the reason I wanted to do this hop is because I LOVE SUMMER! Summer is my absolute most favorite season of the year. I hate to see it go each and every year! But I am sure there will be some absolutely gorgeous projects as you hop along on this last day of summer/first day of fall...which is it?

I have used Scrapping for Less "Cool Treats" and an ancient chipboard sticker set to create these cute summer cards.

You can purchase Cool Treats here

Next stop on the hop is: Annette

Mermaid and Home Decor'

Hello my crafty friends! I am here today to share with you a little bit of an obsession this summer! I am obsessed with mermaids! What a lovely and mythical thing to be obsessed with, right? Well I purchased this die set from Little B...(from Scrapping for Less of course) You can shop two places...the Facebook Group or the Website! If you would like to purchase this die just let me know and I can get it ordered for you!


So, I decided to decorate this little chalkboard that hangs in my scrapbook room with the dies I cut out from this die set.

Funny story about this chalkboard: In March my daughter who lives in Oregon was here for a visit...one day she graciously helped me do some reorganizing in my scrapbook room. I said "I need to put up a new quote." To which she replied let me...so of course I did...and she wrote and drew without letting me see it and then hung it back up! I squealed with delight at how fitting and adorable! 

This photo does not do it justice at all!

Photos of the Dies: The back of the die packages shows that you can paper piece and use different colors with the die however I found that pretty difficult to do so I just used some shimmer paper I had and cut them all out with a solid color.

 

Anyhow even though I couldn't figure out how to paper piece lots of nice dies to use on all those summer ocean and beach themed cards. 

Thanks for taking the time to visit.

Last Days of Summer Vacation with my kiddos!

No time for a Menu Monday post cause today and tomorrow are the last days of summer vacation with my grandkids. Will be having an end of summer bash tomorrow with these cute cupcakes...not my picture though...I will post mine tomorrow.  Tonight I will go spend the night with my daughter and her family mainly cause my 3 year old grandson has been asking all summer for grandma to spend the night with him.
