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.

My Favorite Craft Tools and Giveaway!!!

Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you. Two years ago, I took a step back from crafty and downsized 75% of my craft room.  However with just these awesome tools, I have been able to get back into the swing of things and I don't miss having a larger craft room. Personally, I feel every crafter should have these starting out.  They make creating easy and fun!

Building Block Graduation Card

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. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. 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
