Oooh splash, summer has finally arrived!

The summer I've been waiting for all winter is finally here and I couldn't be more excited!  Well, maybe just a little more excited because I also received the new Splash Collection from Echo Park Paper this week and it is awesome, fun, bold and absolutely wonderful!  I had such a blast playing with this collection;  the colors just pop and the papers are fun, fun, fun!   Here's a couple layouts I came up with:

Let's kick off summer with a HUGE Clearance Sale!

We need to make some room in the warehouse for all the new collections that are coming in, so we're kicking off summer with a HUGE warehouse clearance sale.  We have the best of last year's collections on sale up to 75% off along with those everyday essentials like adhesives, punches, brads and more!  Here are just a few samples of what you'll find on sale:

Who needs a good dose of SUN?

Yes, I am still stuck just dreaming about paradise and reliving those moments when we were on a warm, sunny beach with sand between our toes.  Mother Nature has been relentless around here.  Sunday was sunny in the mid-80s and then Monday it was rain and cold and then some more rain and cold.  I need a dose of sun very badly!  Pasty white is NOT becoming on me.

So to stave off the urge to crawl under the covers and never come out, I pulled out some vacation pictures and started scrappin'.  These layouts feature the new Karen Foster Design collection, Paradise.  With its six bold papers and two coordinating cardstock stickers it's just the medicine I needed!

Aaaaah....a small taste of summer!

My husband and I always joke that when we retire we want to move to an island.  I think Chankanaab would be a great alternative.  If you're planning on visiting Cozumel, Mexico and love to be pampered, enjoy swimming with exotic fish and love the feel of warm sand between your toes, then this is the place to be.  It is a Mexican National Park and it is absolutely wonderful.

This layout features the Paradise Collection from Bo Bunny.  The collection features six double-sided papers with several coordinating embellishments including flowers, chipboard, stickers, bling and Double-Dot papers.
