Cut It Up - Summer Vacation challenge

A few months ago I finally finished scrapbooking my girls from 2005.  It is my sincere hope that I will finish 2006 this year too by using fun challenges as inspiration.  I am not worried about getting it done chronologically, because getting a layout completed is more important than the order.

The new challenge is up at Cut It Up:  Summer Vacation.  I found some summer time pictures (June 2006) to fit the theme.  Die cuts used:  Cricut "Create A Critter 2" p.64 (large corn-on-the-cob); Cricut "Straight From the Nest" p.75 (summer); Cricut "Artbooking" p.53 (fun); Stampin' Up! Framelits dies "Cannery Set" (small corn-on-the-cob).

There are two sponsors with terrific prize packages:

Twine It Up!

win 3 colors of Trendy Twine

This is what I did with one color of the

Trendy Twine from the prize package:

I used my white gel pen on the larger die cut (below) to coordinate with the Stampin' Up! corn-on-the cob stamp set; I also embossed the "corn" with Cuttlebug "Houndstooth."

The second prize package are card making goodies from Leeanne of Artful Delight fame.  Leeanne creates the most fabulous prize packages, in my humble opinion.  I hope you win!  Create a summer vacation card, layout, or project and link up at Cut It Up.

You have until June 11th to enter.
Happy Friday!
