Hot Fun in the Summer Blog Hop!

This weekend marks the official start of summer--days filled with a little travel, fun, and relaxation with family and friends! So to celebrate, I, along with some talented crafters, have teamed up to share projects that display summer fun! Of course, a blog hop isn't complete without blog candy! There will be giveaways on various blogs throughout the hop! Plus there will be a SOC blog hop gift awaiting one visitor!! To be eligible for that prize, you must comment on all the blogs by Mon, June 25 at 11pm EST. From all who are eligible, one lucky reader will be randomly drawn. The winner will be posted on all the participating blogs on Wed, June 27.


For this hop, I created this cool sketch and layout.  This makes #25 for my AASE Challenge!  
Woohoo!

This layout is of my niece Ayanna and I being silly in the backyard during the summer months.  Sometimes, a little bit of "silly" is all you need to make a great summer day!  The strips at the top, hang over the top of the layout creating a fun, unique look. I also inked the edges to make the elements pop!  (please forgive the dark blurry area...my scanner doesn't always do well with dimension!)

Now that I've sparked your creativity, how about a little something to spark a bit of desire!  For EVERYONE who leaves a comment you'll receive a pdf copy of the 52 Week Sketch Challenge FREE...

...and at the end of the hop one lucky winner will be chosen from those who leave a comment to win both of my upcoming ebooks...A Sketch a Day Volume 2 and How to Make Money Scrapbooking!  Remember, I'll need your email address to send your FREE book!   Again, all you need to do is leave a comment here on this post and you are entered.
