Welcome to our blog hop for the month of June. I am so excited to be hopping with these wonderful ladies who have become stampin sisters to me though our love of papercrafting. 

This month our theme is Summer fun and boy am I definitely ready for it to get warmer and have some good ole’ SUMMER FUN!!

As a reminder, we will be hopping together once a month on the first Monday of the month to show you ideas and designs using current Stampin’ Up! products. 

I chose to focus on some product in the NEW annual catalog!  You can begin purchasing from the NEW catalog June 4th – so only one more day!


I chose to use the new NEW Sailing Away Memories and More pack to make some FUN projects.  I used the pack to make this AWESOME 12 x 12  sampler focusing on my home town of Port Hope, Michigan. 


Thanks so much to Dawn Bourgette for her inspiration on this project. 


After I had the 12 x 12 framed art completed, I decided to make some VERY SIMPLE yet FUN cards with the leftover pieces from the kit.  These 12 cards literally took me about 30 minutes to make. 


All I did was cut some card bases and mats and used the pieces left over from the memories and more pack – it was that easy!  The kit even comes with stickers which I used to add my greetings! 


Here are pictures of the cards I made:
