I just love summer and going to the beach.  Here are a couple of family photos from the Jersey Shore!
 Me and Hubby
 Everyone having fun in the sand
 Future contractors, lol
My beach babe

These pictures just make me anxious for next year now, lol!!!  I thought for the blog hop I would recreate a favorite card of mine.  That is the great thing about the Gypsy!  I can save my designs and re- cut them on my Cricut at a later date!!!!  Oooo, I just love technology!!!!

I used Life is a Beach Cricut cart.  It is my favorite for summer projects!
This card came out cute I think.  I did a "cardscape"  You can find out all about those HERE on CSDivas.
Hope you are enjoying the blog hop.

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold.

On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
