Friends That Scrap "Destination Summer" Blog Hop

Welcome to our Friends that Scrap first Annual Blog Hop!

We are a yahoo based group that loves to scrapbook,

learn new techniques and syles from other crafty gals

like ourselves, share our talents and like to form on-line friendships

with those that have the same interests.
This blog hop is designed to share our "Destination Summer" projects with

you and, if you are located in the United States or Canada, invite you to come and join

our yahoo group!

If this is your first stop on the blog hop, you will want to start at the beginning

at Debbie's blog (she is one of the co-owners of the group).

You will visit eleven member's blogs along the way, each linking you on to the next stop.

You'll find some great summer related projects and most blogs have

a giveaway for you to enter. Giveaways close on Sunday, July 24th at midnight.

So be sure to visit all blogs and leave a comment on the way!

Here is a couple of layouts from a not so long ago vacation with my husband. We went to Niagra Falls for a long weekend and ventured to quite a few fun and beautiful sites. This is just the start of our trip so I hope to complete more throughout this weekend and the hop!


If you're interested in an active group with friendly people take a moment to join by visiting http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Friends_That_Scrap/ and click on the JOIN button.

You will receive a New Member Application via email. This must be completed and returned before your membership will be approved.
Your next stop is Keitha's Blog! You will definitely enjoy her little cyber haven filled with lots of tidbits of creativity!

And if you lose your way, you can always go back to the start at Debbie's Blog to get a complete list of blogs to visit .

Donna for the family kit, Rhonda and Nancy for the elements to "A special Kind of Love" layout, to swapsthatwork yahoo group for my "Sunday" lo and for the Easter page kit lo and I'm not sure who I snagged the title 2 cute 4 words from but I'm sure it was someone in one of these wonderful groups I'm part of!

Scrappin' Day!

I'm gonna try and get a few more done today, until the little guy wakes up from his nap and then off to the pool we go! So here are some pics of the lo's I finished off last night. I'll add more thru the day as I finish them up!

my last June Challenge...

Close to the wire with about thirty minutes to spare but all three pages for my June IASST challenge on water is done! And, do you believe these are pictures from this month! Who scraps their pictures they take in the same month?? Well maybe some people do but not usually that way for me! :) Anywhoo hope you like them and are having a great summer! Thanks for stopping by!

Baby Blues

This layout was done for a sketch challenge on the yahoo group Friends that Scrap. I had to use these photo's my babysitter took because they were just perfect for the sketch. She made them B&W photo's but in the larger picture she left his eyes blue .. they are the prettiest shade of blue too!

My Masculine Challenge

I started this lo a long time ago and finally finished it up. Why ? Because I was given a challenge! I love challenges! It makes me think and search for creative ideas. This lo is of my grandfather Stephen Z. who was called Tanoma in his younger years. I didn't know him well as he passed away when I was just 2, but I've heard lots of stories of his love of baseball. So I took a page kit I had and added some embellishments and there ya go a finished product! Thanks for looking!
