Happy 4th of July and a Summer memories, slide book ;)

Hello friends!

First of all I hope you are all having a fabulous day and for those of you celebrating I hope you stay cool and safe. We started off the day with my oldest child not wanting to ride the bike we had decorated for the neighborhood's parade, needless to say after much complaining we got out the door to find out that it was so late the parade was almost over! LOL ! anyhow things are calmer now ,I could even sneak some craft time compliments of my hubby, who is watching movies with the kiddos :).We will be celebrating outside in the evening considering that the temperatures around here are near the 3 digit mark...

It has been a while since I last entered a challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge blog, this week's challenge is a color inspiration challenge:


Without further ado, here is my take on it, I hope you like it:
I decided to create a 7 by 5 in sliding photo book for my 6 y.o. niece whom loves to write and recently developed an interest for photography, so I am sure by the end of summer time she will have tons of pics to choose from ;)
 I crocheted this fluffy flower using some multicolored Cream and Sugar yarn. I was surprised at how simple it was to make it. You know, it could not be completed without a pretty smiling face from PKS.
It becomes a hair pin when you remove it from the book. What girl wouldn't like the extra accessory, right? ;).
For the "fun" sentiment I used Recollections alphabet stamps.

For the back of the book, I wanted to add an extra frame for another pic, the sentiment is from IBS, papers are from an old paper stack from K & Company, I think ;)

When you slide it open, this is how it looks like, The "frames"were created with Spellbinders cuts and again some fun and colorful paper. For the tittle I used some Alphas I had from a while ago.

This is how the back of it looks when opened. I stamped some pointers for her journaling. if not mistaken all are Hampron Arts stamps with the exception of the PKS cute face on the Hibiscus. and the banner sentiment which is IBS.
Thank you for taking time to stop by, I do appreciate your comment, have blessed day! HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Summer Fun Blog Hop, day 4

Hello friends, welcome to day 4 of our Summer Fun Blog Hop!                                 Don't you just love all the projects showcased this week? I am so lucky to be part of this fantastic hop I could not resist to keep on creating and today I want to share with you another Farm inspired project. This time I created a Piñata by recycling a box, using some scrap card stock, crepe paper, the fabulous eBosser, Xyron Corner Glue Stick, sticker maker and the X Tape Runner. I started by removing the flaps from the top of the box and then scoring two horizontal lines on the sides of it and a diagonal from the upper center point to the line on the sides. Cut slits on the corners all the way to the scored lines. Cut a small square on each side -just below the scored line-to run the rope thru them. Also, cut an opening on the back so you can fill it with goodies. Folded the new flaps inwards. Gl...
