Samantha Walker Hop - New Goodies for You!

Welcome to the Samantha Walker Designs Creative Team Blog Hop!

If this is your first stop, you will want to click {HERE} to the spot where the hop begins!

My projects this month will showcase Samantha's new paper collections. I used the "Nautical" and the "Tea Party" paper and embellies. You can find these adorable collections in the Creative Imaginations store.

First up is a card that I made. I love the adorable teapot in this collection!

And did you know that you can make your own embellies using Samantha's new paper? These embellies can be added to your next scrapbook layout, card, or altered project. Here are some that I made using the Nautical Collection.

The creative team got to play with some other fab products this month too. To make the embellies I used some wonderful "Real Wood" paper from Creative Imaginations. To keep the embellies secure I used adhesive from Tombow.

This month Spellbinders is sponsoring the giveaway! Up for grabs is the Spellbinders Antique Frame & Accents and Nautical Frame & Accents. Comment on all the blogs on the hop to win. Winners will be announced on Samantha's Facebook page on June 18th.

Also, be sure to subscribe to Samantha's blog to receive the FREE SVG cutting file below. You can download this file to your personal electronic cutter. The link will be emailed to you early next week. Please visit the SW Blog for more details!

Happy Hopping!

The school year ended and I have not gotten out and about to enjoy the Texas sunshine yet! We are finally headed out for a little road trip. I'll be back on Wednesday for some brand new projects.

I used one of the adorable fashion dress stamps from Rubbernecker Stamps

"Brush Gown with Ruffled Hem"

More Time to Play!

Yep I'm officially off for the summer, and I actually got to sleep in for the first time in months!

Summer break is pure bliss for teachers. I'm so excited because I actually got to play in my craft room all day yesterday. I made tons of new projects. Here's a fun card for ya to start your Monday morning off with a smile.

Don'tcha just love that little birdie?

He's really an embellie for the "Smash" books, but I wanted to use him on my card instead. I also used some fun Nikki Sivils "Exit Here" woodgrain paper on the background of my card. I layered different paper and the birdie in the center. 

I'm also linking this up to some fun challenges that I have not played with in a while:

365 Cards - Layers Challenge

and

Little Red Wagon - Wood/Woodgrain Challenge

So what do you all have planned this summer? My summer "to do list" is growing longer and longer each day....(smile)!

P.S. - I've got a fun Twinery project for ya tomorrow!

Hey Girl...It's a Party!

Summertime is the perfect time for a party!

Here are some of the favors that we came up with:
