It's blog hop time!

Hey everyone,

Man... it's been an amazing week. My boys started school and we have now completed 1 week. Plus I signed on to be the room mom for both of the boy's classes. Anyway, now on to the scrappy stuff.... American Crafts scrappy stuff

Photobucket

I was so sad to see summer go, so I decided to scrap just one more summer favorite photo. I love large photos and so I printed this one. Yep- it's large. Then to add texture, I added in tons of flowers and other fun embellishments. I actually cut all these flowers out from American Crafts Day Dreams collection (35600) and pop dotted them :)

Photobucket

I'm in love with these letters! I just love the stitching on it.
And... here is a close up of the layout. This frame is from Amy Tangerine (35560) paper and I just cut out the middle. Doesn't it give it a cute frame look?
