Now, on with my project. :)

This week the Joy's Life Design Team has been showcasing "Scrapbooking".  I can't tell you the last time I did a layout, but I can tell you that I used Mrs. Grossmans stickers on it!!  LOL!!

It has been a LONG time!

So here is my layout:

My sentiment stamp is from "Pun in the Sun":

I actually got this layout at the Silhouette online store.  :)

I used the print and cut feature on my Silhouette Studio DE software for all of the paper.  

Please visit the Joy's Life Store to see all her amazing stamps and crafting goodies!!

I hope you enjoyed my project!!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Have a Happy, Crafty Day!!

Joy's Life Summer in 3D Blog Hop!

Hello crafters!

Welcome to the Joy's Life Summer in 3D Blog Hop!

You should have just come from the very talented Maria's blog, A Simple Five.

If you just happened to stop over today and would like to join in on the hop, head right on over to Joy's Life.com, right here.

You are sure to see some fun and inspirational projects, and some yummy blog candy along the way!! :)

The first thought that came to mind when I was thinking about summer was the beach!  Maybe it's because we had just come from the beach when I learned the theme for this hop. Lol! We spent a lot of time looking for seashells, and enjoyed watching the pelicans diving into the water to catch fish... it was quite a sight to see! I was very much inspired by our day at the beach, and wanted to incorporate these things into my project. Here is what I came up with:

 This fun box is a file from the SVG Attic.  I did make some alterations to it to make it reflect our special day.

The starfish, sand dollar, sea horse and pelican are all images I found at the Silhouette online store.

 Here is a closer look at Joy's awesome stamp "shore do miss you", which is from the truly AWESOME stamp set "Pun in the Sun", which you can find right here.

 And here is another angle of the box.  Although putting this together was a little tricky at times, I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. :)   I hope you like it!!

All the patterned paper is from digital paper packs I found on Etsy from Prettiful Designs.

Now for a little blog candy!  :)
Since I had to leave town unexpectedly, I was not able to get any shopping done, so I am going to be offering a little MYSTERY blog candy!!
I promise it will be fun and crafty! It will be Christmas in July... right?? LOL!!

Just leave a comment on today's post letting me know what your favorite summer activity is, and I will draw a winner using Random.org.
If you are a follower of my blog, leave a second comment letting me know and double your chance at the blog candy!  :)

Thank you so much for joining us today!
Your next stop in the hop is the amazing Megan at Thoughts of Scrapbooking.
