Happy Camper Giveaway

I know it has been a while since I posted anything on my blog.  This time of year is pretty hectic for me. I need to get the school year closed out before I can really get ready for summer.  One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to go camping, my whole family loves it because we like to rough it.  What a great coincidence that Imaginisce has just released a super cute camping collection, just in time for my summer.  To celebrate and to make up my absence to my wonderful readers, I would love to send you some of the Happy Camper I have in my stash.  All you have to do is leave me a comment about what you like to do in the summer and I will randomly draw a lucky winner from the comments a little bit later this week.
There are some great chipboard pieces in the collection like this sentiment and the cute little tree.  Here you can see that I added some unique stitching with my We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy Stitch Piercer.  It is a little roller that punches the holes in the paper, so all you have to do is follow the pattern with your needle and floss.
I love this photo of my husband, his father and our son.  Three generations is pretty darn special.  My father-in-law selected the matching shirts especially for this occasion. 
I also love the bright fun colors in this collection.  They are perfect for these photos of my son camping last summer.  I cut the large tree with my Cricut Expression and added some of the Imaginisce Silver Glam Rocks to look like all the rain we experienced on our trip.
I couldn't resist making this card with the little fire that comes with the collection.  Sometimes all you need is a little sense of humor to get through the day.

As I said above, please leave me a comment about your favorite summer activity and I will randomly select someone to receive some of the Brand New Imaginisce Happy Camper.

Thank you so much for stopping by -

  26. For me summer is hanging out on the porch reading, rocking, scrapping and watching the kids swim in the pool below. I'm not much of a camper but I loved your projects and the line of paper.

  27. Your LO's are amazing!! Such a beautiful family too! It just so happens our favorite thing to do in the summer is camp. We always take our DD's camping the day after school gets out and then 3 or 4 more times during the summer. The new Happy Camper line is definately one of my all times favorites. :)
