MDS Blog Hop - Recapping the month of June...

 Welcome back to the MDS Blog Hop! This second posting of the month is all about "what we are working on". While I have been quite active in the digital aspect of scrapbooking, I have been taking some time to create with all my "realistic" materials from Stampin Up. I hope to get some pictures taken and downloaded to share on my blog too. 
June is a busy month. Summer school vacation has started, Vacation Bible School, my youngest daughter's birthday and then Father's Day and my husband's birthday. All really good times as a family! So this page was inspired from the later half of the month - my hubs! I am loving the colors in this! The pop of colors with the Very Vanilla and Black. I used Fan Fair Digital Disc Download and DSP which I can not remember at the moment. The fun part was the splatter! (using lots of splatter lately) I colored the splats with the color tool. Have you tried the splatter stamp? You really should!
THANKS for stopping by our blog hop today! Quite a mixture of things - pages, cards....

MDS Blog Hop - Once Upon a Summer Vacation

Our selected theme this week's blog hop is Summer/Vacation. I went for a combo theme: Summer Vacation mixed with a Father's Day theme. Perfect for this time of year! So recently I was working on some more pages for my girl's books. I had fun making this sweet page of our summer trip to Dahlonega for Howard's birthday and Father's Day weekend a few years ago. We went up to the wineries, panned for gold and took a tractor ride in the mountains. I used the Keep This Memory Designer Kit download mostly for this page. You can still get this kit on sale thru June 15th! So hurray!

Thinking of Holly (she will be back in two weeks), missing Mandy (leaving the hop) and no Guest Blogger this month (sorry ALL).
