What's Your Summer Blog Hop ~ Day 1

Hello my crafty friends and welcome to the "What's Your Summer" Blog Hop. If you just came from Amanda - amandascraftsandmore then you are in the right place but if you just stopped by you will want to start at the beginning of the hop at

so as not to miss any of the fabulous projects along the way.

Todays hop is all about Summer!! I have to say I am sooo ready for summer to be here! I miss the warm golden sun, bright colors, and fun on the our waverunners. :)

For my summer project I decided to make home decor for my mantle.

All the cuts for this project were cut from my "Life's A Beach" cartridge. To make the letters more interesting I ran them through my crimper. The background paper is from DCWV's "Citrus" Stack.

Here they are on my mantle. Please ignore the sockets that don't have covers, we just recently painted the wall burnt orange and have not bought new covers for them yet. :)

Now you are off to Theresa -thescrapbookingqueen
