Now that you have all of your 4th of July Firework pictures scrapped, how about scrapping the pictures from the day using either the “SURFER DUDE” or “HULA PRINCESS” KITS? Or how about scrapping those pictures from your Stay-cation?
These kits are FILLED with EVERYTHING you need to scrap those beach, pool and summer photos!

And look…..there’s even the “SURFER DUDE QUICK PAGES”! This is a fast and easy way to do a 2-page layout!  Use one Quick Page for one side and then use the Kit to create page 2, OR add extra embellishments and a title to the Quick Page….

Here’s the beautiful “HULA PRINCESS KIT”……

And again, a few “HULA PRINCESS QUICK PAGES” to go along with the kit…….

I am here to show you a few examples of what you can do with these kits!
Here we have a layout from CTM Apple Blossom Catgoddess using the “HULA PRINCESS” KIT….

I LOVE the look on this little girls face!  It is so precious!  I love how she used the grass in the background to spice up the page.  Very clever!
Then I have one more that I would like to show you.
This layout comes from CTM Honey Bee Photogirl using the “SURFER DUDE” KIT:

I love the simplicity of this layout and all of it’s open space.  I also like how the journaling is all on one side.  Very cute layout!
Hope everyone is having a GREAT Summer!  Especially the kiddos during their Summer Break!

I always love looking through the Scrap Orchard Gallery to see what kind of creative layouts you all come up with.  As the Gallery opened up I had a jaw dropping moment at THIS Layout made with the “AMERICANA” KIT…..

This is BY FAR the most BEAUTIFUL element clusters layout I have EVER seen!  OMG!  I mean, have you ever seen anything more beautiful than this?  I am seriously amazed at such talent!  When I grow up I want to have the talent that Mrsburgess has….LOL  No!  Seriously!  :oD
Here is a layout that I finished today, again, using the “AMERICANA” KIT….

Please keep in mind that if you like the layouts you have seen in the last week, or if you have photos from last night that would go perfect with the “AMERICANA” kit, you have a few more days to pick this kit up on sale for 35% OFF!

Here’s to wishing everyone in the USA a
VERY HAPPY and SAFE
4th of July!

“I hope everyone has a great July 4th weekend! Take some time to remember why the US was formed, our freedoms that we enjoy, and all the possibilities that this Country gives us!!! We are so blessed to live here, and to be able to do what we like when we like, not all Countries are as fortunate as we are!!! We are truly blessed!!” ~ MaryJo Bailey ~
“America’s fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed!!” ~ Justin Greenhalgh ~
In the United States, Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, political speeches and ceremonies, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the national day of the United States.
I love the 4th of July. Every 4th my household takes a drive to our Cousins house and has a full day of swimming, eating, playing, talking, eating LOTS of dessert, and when we all want to go to sleep from our day of fun in the sun with our bellies full to capacity, we all load ourselves into our vehicles to go to the local park to watch fireworks. I learned a trick last year……wanna know what it is? LOL I dress my daughter in her pajamas before we head to the park! That way when the fireworks are done and we pile back into our cars to go home I don’t have to undress her to get her into her pajamas after she is already asleep. I don’t even have to wake her up. It’s a win win situation for both of us! )~
ANYWAY…..
I was browsing through the gallery and I noticed a few girls from the Ziggle Designs Creative Team had a few layouts in the gallery using the AMERICANA KIT! They look FABULOSO! Take a look for yourself….

Have you seen the Oodles of DOODLES in the Market that’s going to be retired on July 4th?!?!!?
Don’t miss out on these Doodles when filling up your basket.  Doodles make for some good Summer fun even when not scrapping.  You can put a Doodle up on your screen, let your kid(s) color away as if they are a coloring book page, then save it.  You can then apply your child’s work of art to your next scrapbook page!  :oD  I love using Doodles and putting my daughters personal touch on them.
Here are a few Doodles that are in the Market.  Remember they are in the Retirement section for 60% OFF!

For some GREAT tutorials check out SuzyQ Scraps Blog under “Tricks & Tutorials” on alternative ways to color your doodles….. Have fun!
