Summery Blog Hop

 Welcome to the Summery Blog Hop!! We hope to dazzle you today with some fun and awesome summery projects! If you've happened upon my blog today head over to Suzanne's blog so you can hop from the beginning. If you've made your way here from Suzanne's blog then you're in the right place and carry on! Suzanne has an awesome goodie pack sponsored by Zannie Berry Scrapbooking (valued at $60, wow) for one lucky winner, check it out.

The project I have to share today is a tumbler I made for one of the teacher's in my son's school to give to her daughter's teacher, did you follow that?? :) I had made a few tumblers as teacher appreciation gifts and this teacher saw them and went wild over them, she also asked me to make 2 more . One for herself and one for her husband (she went BALLISTIC over all of these!). You can find those pictures on my FB page. She requested a summer theme for this cup so it worked in perfectly for our summery hop!


Fun stuff, right?
The tumblers I found on Amazon, the vinyl (Oracal) I bought there as well. Cutting files are a mixture of Scraptastical Kreations, Kadoodle Bug Designs and Silhouette. And of course my trusty BFF, Cameo.

Here's the complete line-up in case you lose your way:

Welcome to The Put A Ring On It Hop! If you came from Nadja's blog you're in the right place. If you just happened upon my page today, start at the beginning, Melanie's Blog, so you don't miss one fabulous thing!

 Since May is such a  popular month for weddings we're making projects with at LEAST 2 CIRCLES on them. Here is my project with LOTS of circles!! I thought these fun pictures of my son playing with his Sit N Spin would work very well with this theme. I love how it came out. I tried coloring in the title (one of my favorite 80's songs) with some pencils but it wasn't the look I wanted so I added some Icicle Stickles, because everything's better with Stickles. and brownies, brownies make everything better too. 

Paper is DCWV and The Paper Studio
Scraptastical Kreations cutting files "Circle Frame",
 "Element Me This"
Icicle Stickles
Hot Paws writing tool for the Cameo
Prisma Pencils
The Paper Studio bling
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
All That Stickles ~ Icicles


Here's today's lineup in case you lose your way:

 For my Challenge project I made a card using sunflowers and sunflower paper. They're my favorite flower, looking at them just makes me happy :)
For this card I started with craft cardstock, and added a bracket shape (from Banner Blitz) with the sunflower paper. The sunflowers were made from the "Past Flower Freebie", I used some fleece to make the center look fuzzy. My HotPaws writing tool came in handy once again to write the sentiment and I finished it off with some sparkly Really Reasonable Ribbon and gold glitter pen.

Butterfly Blog Hop


Thank you for fluttering by today and seeing all the butterflies we have in this hop. These crafters have performed butterfly magic again with their creations and I hope you enjoy looking at the beauty of these creations.

Jearise from http://lorbysworld.blogspot.com is our hostess today and she has a butterfly filled gift for one lucky visitor today so please make sure you begin at her blog to find out how to enter the drawing.

Here is my little bit of butterfly magic for today...

My Goddaughter's birthday was yesterday and she LOVES butterflies so I thought the card I made for her would be perfect for this hop!
I love making shaped cards and I'm really happy with the way this one came out. I hope you like it too! The cutting files I used are from Scraptastical Kreations, "Feeling Buggy", papers are DCWV, Miriam's Crafting Supply for the black pearls on the antennae, and a red pearl with a little black marker to make the ladybug. Some chalk inks, white Sakura Gelly Roll pen and Icicle Stickles to make it pop. And my Cameo to do the hard part ;) 

Thank you so much for joining us today and now please flutter over to Jessica's blog SVG Attic.

 I'm so glad you stopped by, I hope I've inspired you in some way today! :)
