On Cloud 9!

Challenge 4 is up at A La Carte Challenge blog and my second Guest Designer submission is on display!

Menu:

1. Use turquoise, red, and yellow.
2. Use a popsicle stick.
3. Use a clear embellishment.
4. Use a circular layout.
5. Use a number in your title.
6. Use a handcut embellishment.

Directions: Choose at least three menu items for your challenge. Upload your layout to the gallery before midnight CST July 29th. A winner will be drawn and announced on August 1st.

Here is my beautiful son after a dip in the turtle pool! I actually managed to use all 6 items this time - not an easy task!

Red, turquoise and yellow - love these colours together!

Close up of popsicle sticks and hand cut embellies - love these pinwheels and super easy to make!

Can't really tell from the photo, but the beads on the butterfly are actually clear!

I also managed to tie this layout in with the "Summer Traditions Challenge" going on over at Noel Mignon Challenge Blog! The challenge is to scrap something that you find yourself, your family, your kids doing every summer. It can be making home made ice cream, taking a trip to a family cabin, hitting the beach...etc. Whatever you find you love to do during the summer months.

I thought that this photo of my son would be the perfect photo to scrap as he and his brother wait ever so patiently until summer arrives so they can 'swim' (more like wade now that they are bigger) in their beloved turtle pool!
