It's A Blog Hop!

Decided to jump into my first ever Blog Hop! Willow Traders is hosting one this weekend and since I am ever so curious, thought, why not! Here I go!


I haven't scrapped one bit for about three weeks now for one reason or another, but this past week changed all that, thank goodness! This first one is using the Special Edition Basic Grey Lemonade from Scrap This Kit . These papers look just gorgeous in real life and were a perfect fit for my backyard flowers. Particularly fond of the bee on the echinachea flower.


With the week being extremely hot for our area, Butch and Makayla decided to take a dip in the cool pool as we call it. Yes, we turn the temperature in our hot tub down to 90 degrees and its feels sooooo good on a hot summer's day. And those two with super soakers are a danger to be reckoned with - watch out!


And since I was in a purging mode last night, I took my scraps and made several flowers with buttons and cut border edges with the longer pieces for future use. Yes, I've become a VERY frugal scrapper!



This was fun and I hope you enjoyed your visit with me here at Our Crazy Little World. Thanks for dropping by!

Your flower layout is beautiful. I love the cool pool one too, what fun.

The flowers and the border punched strips are cool too. I've done the flowers, but never thought to punch border strips.
