Having lots and lots of summer themed fun. Very little time for craftiness. I etched out a few evenings to sew baby blankets for gifts and took a day off work to scrapbook.
Hi! My summer has been super busy but I've still found time to create several little chipboard memory books.
Lots of work this summer – I did spend time making cards and a few scrapbook pages for a friend who is having a baby!
Thanks for the fun.
Sandra
I feel like I'm getting back in the mode and I know it is because I have a 'temp.' scrap room where I can leave stuff out and spend 5 min or 1/2 hr or whatever i want on it. I don't get inspired by my 'stuff' if I can't see it and I'm a better scrapper with friends. This makes me feel like I might progress a little faster on my own. Right now I'm trying to finish up a travel album for a trip of my daughter's–hard to do when I wasn't the one experiencing it.
I wish! summer has not hit us here yet. but when it does lots of soaking up teh sun washing teh winter blues away!!!
Never as many projects get done as I'd like during the summer–the lure of the outdoors is too big!
My family and I our spent summer on the beach of Hawaii. We had lots of fun their from beach, food and etc. <a href=http://www.bedroomsports.com/penis-extensions/>penis extensions</a>
Our summer has been the hottest one for several years. There has been no time for scrapbooking, but we have built a new kitchen at the summerhouse. Right now we are changing colors at our house. From Pink to Green. Beautiful!
Thanks for the chance to win such a beautiful line!
I work full time all year round, so there is not much difference between the seasons… but I manage to steal some time for crafty stuff and I just finished decorating a gift box:

Oh, how fun! Summer has been fairly nice. I've had some time to create and recently had some time to clean my studio, so that is always a good thing!
Hi everbody!
I'm from Brazil, and here we are at winter right now. But I did some pages about my incredible summer days!
This summer has truly flown by. With creating, CHA, spending time with the family. It's been a blast so far.
I have had a wonderful summer…..I am watching my grandson 4 days a week, we got a wave runner, my dear husband got me a wonderful red and white vintage scooter……AND I have had a blast designing fun paper crafts!!
I LOVE Bella Blvd!! This summer we have visited grandparents many times and gone to the beach to play. Not much creating getting done, but hoping to once school starts! I would love some new goodies to create with!
I cant WAIT to get my hands on all these new lines, I love each and every one of them so much!! Summer is my favorite time of year and I have had a blast so far (went on a family cruise, went to Vegas for my anniversary, and just had tons of pool time) I have actually had a TON of time to create this summer!! Happy Creating!
ooohh…I *heart* bella blvd!! as for this summer…I have been able to create a good bit. I was able to wrap up this past school year in the kiddos' albums and get ready for the new one!!!
thanks for the giveaway
I haven't gotten tons and tons of scrap time, but this weekend I locked the kids out of my scrap room and played!
I made some fun layouts, but I had even more fun making paper flowers from vintage sheet music, scraps of patterned paper, and fancy brads.
LOVE this line and Bella Blvd!!! So freaking cute! This summer I've actually done a lot of scrapbooking and creating. I started an inspiration journal. Completed 2 albums for presents (1 wedding, 1 baby). Many mini albums and some layouts. Whoa I've been busy
My summer started out with lots of activity. Going to the zoo, parks, visiting friends and family. Now I am staying in and trying to stay cool. I am getting thing ready to go to my first crop in September. This collection would be perfect to take along.
This is such a great collection! My summer's been great. My oldest starts preschool in a week, so this is our first "real" summer break. Lots of craftiness on this end from frames, to layouts, to cards, I'm keeping crafty and busy!
we've travelled to Michigan so far this summer! I've been doing a lot of scrapbooking!
Thanks for a chance to win some beautiful Bella!
I was in school all summer and had to put off crafting for a while. Now that I have some free time I have been scrapping every day!
We had lovely and very hot summer here in Germany. Did some great family stuff.
Wouldlove to win those goodies. Greetings
Oh this is my absolute favorite CHA release this year!So summery and girly!I have ahd a great summer,lots of creating,running barefoot,pooltime,bubbles,and traveling!
We've spent the summer at the Outlaws games (our pro field lacrosse team) and just enjoying the summer. I've had some time to be creative and hope that I will get more as the weather cools!
I have gotten quite a bit done so far this summer – almost (I said almost) caught up on my LOs, made my son's birthday minialbum, and recently a bunch of cards.
I'm a teacher, so summer is my creative time. It's my chance to get together more with my scrapbooking girlfriends and create, create, create. This summer I've focused on getting my Hawaiian Cruise album done and also working on cards.
It's been a great summer so far! Around here school already starts again in 1 week. My oldest will be off to school for the 1st time! I've had lots of time to be crafty; lots of layouts and cards and even a few mini albums and home decor items.
It’s been so hot this summer, we have hibernated for lots of it. We’ve found lots of good movies, video game marathons and books to keep us busy. I’ve almost finished my son’s kindergarten scrapbook, which is wonderful, as Grade one begins in less than 2 weeks
We have had a fun summer spending lots of time outdoors. Now with the kiddos back in school it is time to get some serious scrapbooking done:)
I'm loving the Bella Blvd designs. I was actually working with some this past weekend; my first weekend scrapping since our summer truely began. I haven't had much creative time in my scraproom this past couple of months. My creative time has been spent in my garden building new plots and finding fun little accents to put among my flowers. My 12 yr old daughter has been painting rocks to add her creative flair to our garden. So fun!
We have had a great summer so far. Took a trip to Six Flags which was sooo fun, swimming, fishing, to the camper. Simply just a fabulous summer. I have had time to create some fun layouts…and i'm just waiting for all the new stuff to come out to jump start my mojo
We are having a fun summer and it's flying by! I enjoyed an awesome trip to New York City with my family. Just recently I found some time to get creative and last night I finished a 2 page layout! Yeahhh!!! I love Bella Blvd and this line is so fun and cheerful!
Long summer days spent outside and even longer cross country road trips have filled my camera with pictures and inspiration for new pages. I only recently discovered Bella Blvd when another blog was raving about the darling stickers, papers and embellishments. I'm excited to incorporate my current collection with the all the adorable goodies from Bella Blvd.
Summer has been busy around here – running kids here and there. But, nap time is still an everyday part of the day at our house and MY time this summer to get creative and get some layouts finished! Thanks for the chance!
I have worked on a few scrapbooks and made a couple mini's…I am working on a very special Mini album for my Daughter that is leaving for college very soon – I am titling it Hugs From Home – so when she gets homesick she will have something to remind her of home!!
Love this new Bella Blvd release! Too cute!! Have had a great summer…although not as warm as we'd like it to be here in the PNW! Although it's going by too fast, I have had some time to make a few LOs here & there, but can't wait to settle into fall & do more scrappin!
I haven't had as much time as I thought I would….but I have gotten quite a few layouts done
This line is so fun. I would love to play with it. I love, love, love all the color. Thanks so much for the chance to win!!
working on a special project right now – a min for my daughter that is leaving for college very soon – It is called HUGS FROM HOME – to remind her of how much she is loved and help her get through the homesickness.
I’ve had a fantastic summer…….no major vacations, but lots of great times with friends and family.
My friends and I also have been making a point of getting together to scrapbook and be creative, so that’s been really fun too!
LOVE IT!!!
The Bella Blvd desings are so cheerful and bright! Just PERFECT for kids photos. I have started my blog and have done quite a few layouts since the beginning of the summer. Back to work on Monday, though.
2 weeks out in the country and I really look forward to getting back to my scrapping supplies!!!
just layouts so far this summer (hope my post works….so many of these sites reject my email address, so I used my other one)
I have actually got LOTS of scrapping done this summer because it has been way too hot to even enjoy the outdoors. I will be so glad when fall gets here and i can go back to scrapping on my patio
This summer's been wonderful for us! Not only have we had a blast playing with our girls at our lake but we just had a baby boy 3 weeks ago!
Love love love this line from Bella Blvd. My summer has been great so far, I have had a chance to do tons of scrapbook pages for my baby girl's album!
I have been working hard to catch up on my reading and cropping. Desperately trying to get my Hawaiian vacation book done!! Love the Bella Blvd releases. SO PRETTY!
We had the best time on a trip to Philadelphia during the 4th of July weekend, but I am still trying to get some time to scrap those pictures. :( But I have been busy making tons and tons of cards.
Thanks for the chance!

My summer has been very busy thus far. I run a dayhome and work part time at my LSS. I have still had time to work on some things thus far such as catching up on my photos, making some wall vinyl for my newest nephew and making some layout projects for my LSS.
What a great give away! Thanks for the chance to win!! I'm a SAHM so we've had all sorts of summer fun. We've spent many a day by the pool (it's been a HOT HOT summer), and we've been getting our membership's worth at the zoo. I've taken so many pictures this summer might need it's own album!
We my summer is over as of today. School started here and I am a bus driver so it was back to work. I did enjoy my summer though. I took a cruise the first week of July and then had surgery the 2nd week of July which has made me feels so much better! It's been a relaxing time since then.
Although this has been one of the busiest summers the extra time I've had has been very productive for me! I attribute it to the fact that I reorganized my craft studio and now I know what I have and where it is!!! lol Thanks for offering this awesome giveaway!
Great giveway – I love all the Bella Blvd lines
So far this summer has flown by and can't believe it's almost over. I have actually been working on two scrapbooks for my neice and nephew who are graduating from high school this year. I also have started on my christmas card.
This summer has been super busy with trips to the pool and playing tourist in our new hometown (DC). I keep printing out pictures, hoping to get a jump on scrapbooking them, but changing my mind on how I want to do it!
I've made lots of layouts and cards this summer. My kids just went back to school and I thought I would have more time, but so far this week has been so hectic and exhausting. Hoping we can all get on a good schedule including time for me to create!
Thanks for a chance at this great gift…I'm lovin' Bella Blvd. Summer has been quiet around these parts after a banging beginning with my daughter graduating from college and the big party. We're just trying to stay cool in our 9th or 10th heatwave on this hottest summer on record.
I would love to win some Belle Blvd goodness. My summer has been pretty boring because the weather has been so bad. Hopefully I will have more fun when I leave for vacation next week.
Busy summer..my son got married in July, my daughter had a baby girl..want to get my scrapbooking done..lol
Definitely have been creative this summer–I made 100 cards for Operation Write Home–all from scraps!!
I LOVE Bella Blvd. thanks for this awesome give away.
Today, was back to school for my son, so in a way summer is over. I had little time to create… I thought it was going to be ifferente thou.
I did create some prejects, a couple of layouts, few cards, and a quick tutorial for a blog hop.
Today, that we are back to our routine, I hope I can plan my days so have time to scrap more.
My summer has been wonderful! I actually retired in June so it's been great and I've also had time to scrapbook!
This summer has been extremely creative. I started off this summer by making a travel log/ mini book for my daughter and several other projects for gifts and family. I am currently making reception favors for my SIL wedding Sept. 3rd.
So joyful collection. Beautiful ♥
This summer I started to go to the gym and I love it!
I did some LO and bought lots of new items and wait to some spare time to play with them
Thanks for the chance to win!
My summer has been great, fullof creativity and visits with great friend and family. One of my best summers so far even if it was one of the hottest!!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful giveaway!!! 
I love this collection! I spent this summer creating memories with the little ones and settling into our new home. Love the giveaway!!
It's been a busy summer so far, but vacation is two weeks away! As soon as I get home, I make sure to spend lots of time with the kids and take lots of photos. At night when they sleep, I get a chance to scrap them and can't go too long without being creative. However, I have to say, that this is my FAVORITE line to come out of CHA and I cannot wait to play.
Our summer has been lazy. I did manage to get my Etsy store opened and we've been continuing our purge of things we no longer need or want. It's a slow process but an important one.
For me the highest point of every summer is our dancng festival. For 3 days for 15 years my DH and I dance for 20 hours a day in our Israeli supe hot wether and it's devine. We are totally addicted to falk dancing and partly to ball room dancing and this is our evertime pick- better than a vacation abroad. Also we go for vacation- but in September- as our kid's are grown ups and it's cheaper then.
This summer has been a great one weather wise. I have been enjoying the pool with my 6 year old grandson and taking tons of photos. I have been a little lazy scrapbooking but plan to get back at it when the fall days arrive. Fingers crossed I will be lucky enough to win some of this sweet paper collection.
I have done a few projects this summer even though I have less time to craft. I've made some ponytails with my SB embellishments and lots of cards for challenges.
Busy scrappin' summer! I made a baby book for my daughter's pregnant friend, and am continuing my ongoing projects of getting all photos from previous years scrapped. This collection is beautiful and would lend lots of inspiration!
I love summer! The relaxed pace means I can do some scrapping in the morning when my kids are sleeping in !
The summer has flown by. I have been home from work the past two weeks recovering from surgery; luckily I've felt well enough to sit at my scrap table and create some layouts and cards lately. One more week until I return to work
I could get soooooooooo used to being home.
This summer is going by way too fast!! I've been enjoying the slower pace . . . spending more time with my girls, sleeping in, and just hanging out. The weather has been cooler than it's ever been here in Southern California in the summer. The temperature has been in the high 70's, which is just perfect!
So colorful! Love the new line! Thanks for a chance to win!
I have had plenty of chances to be creative, I've made my first scrap store DT (Scrap Gal) and also am making my first video turorial. Fun stuff!
My summer has been very busy (just like the other three seasons), but I have made it a priority to get some creative time in as well. My favorite project of the summer was an altered paper mache book that I made for my cousin. He recently graduated from a teacher credential program and will be teaching math in the fall, so I made the book look like an old fashioned textbook and filled it with all sorts of things he'll need to survive as a teacher. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. And he loved it!
Love this line – one of my favourites from CHA! I have been doing lots of layouts this summer and going to the beach as often as possible!
These are fantastic papers-talk about summer fun!! We have gone camping, to VBS, and got the kids a new pool. Great picture opportunities, but not a lot of scrappin' going on! I did make some cards and did a little sewing….school is coming way too soon!
Summer has been quite hot here in Georgia. As for creative endeavors, I've made a couple of altered canvases as presents.
My summer has been busy but I did get a scrappy weekend with my LSS.
Beautiful colors !!!
I did lots of 12×12" and 6×12" layouts this summer. We're going on holidays in September, stayed at home all summer long.
Beautiful colors !!!
I did lots of 12×12" and 6×12" layouts this summer.
I have had a whimsical summer….full of adventure (always the case with three little sprouts!) I hope all of you have had a wonderful summer, as well! I have had a few minutes (lol) creating some summer layouts and a couple of really fun 4th of July projects! This is definitely more than I expected :O)
I love this adorable new line of paper…in fact all of these lines are incredible! Bella Blvd never stops amazing me with their creativity and unique style! I love to use their products…so inspiring! "Sunny Skies" is in a league of it's own….I would be so excited to win any of their products but this line in particular! Thanks for the opportunity to win! :O)
This has been an incredible summer! Really filled with a lot of fun adventures! It is impossible to have it any other way when there are three little explorers ready to go at all times! :O)I have had a wonderful time with creating! I was able to work on some fun summer layouts and completed a couple of whimsical 4th of July projects! This way more than I expected to do!!! :O) So….I love all of the new Bella Blvd lines! They are amazing, as always! "Sunny, Happy Skies" is adorable and the name fits it to the "T"! I would be so excited to win this lovely paper! Thank-you!
My summer has been busy trying to keep the kids (6, 4 & 16 months) entertained. We made one road trip to the Okanagan (BC) but other than that have stuck close to home. I got my scrap on at the beginning of July and made good progress on my eldest daughter's baby album but things have been languishing for a few weeks now. I just printed off more pics yesterday with every intention of getting them scrapped soon so … hopefully my crafty desires will get fulfilled again!
Would love to win some Bella Blvd! That would be all the inspiration I'd need to get our summer pictures srapped!!
I love the colors and sunny skies of the paper. My summer was busy with work so I am now starting to scrap again. I want to scrap our pool and park pictures this weekend.
The summer has been great for me because with my kids away at camp and visiting relatives, I've had some "me" time. I've done several crafty projects that I'm really proud of. Thanks for the chance to win!
I haven't had a lot of time to craft this Summer. We did have a "beach party" at our house last weekend and I made cute flip flop invitations, some tags for napkins/utinsels, sign in cards for the guests and a mini album for all the pictures and cards. It was great fun!
Thanks for the chance to win this adorable line!
Summer has been RELAXING! Lots of sitting by the beach, reading, working on my garden and SCRAPBOOKING of course!
We have been lazy this summer, just hanging out and playing. I just started an art journal and I am loving playing with materials I would never have ventured playing with before. I also just got a job demonstrating the Cricut. I get paid to play and it doesnt get much better than that.
Great prize !!! I love Bella too !!! We just got back from vacationing in the Boston area ! I always try to fit some scrappy time in most of my days !!
Summer is rushing past so quickly! I haven't scrapbooked in three weeks, and it's making me cranky! LOL Time to clear the decks of all work and start playing with some paper!
my summer has been great!
I have had my first 8 week long summer holiday (I´m a teacher).
I´ve created some and then mostly cards. Other than that I´ve been traveling around visiting friends and having a realy great time
I made some cards the other night and it felt so good to do something creative. I helped my 3 kidlets make some projects for the county fair, otherwise I haven't gotten to papercraft much. Maybe when school starts I can locate my mojo and get sticky again!
Hopefully with some Bella Blvd, I love the new collections!
Busy!
Such gorgeous paper! I'm headed off to get crafty right now with some pics of our first family Disney vacation! Scrappy time has been filled with several layouts and cards as well as a couple of altered projects for some DT work. Gotta get in some more stuff before the summer's over!
Our summer has been crazy busy with lots of trips & fun activities. The good news is, I have LOTS of photos… now I just need some extra time to get it all scrapped!
GREAT give-away! I ♥ all the new Bella lines!
We had a cloudy week so I really got alot done
Now I need to buy some more page protectors 
Hi!

But we were lucky to get great weather on our wedding day, Since i am out of work i have lots of time to be creative. Have attended 2-3 challenges and are waiting in excitement on the result.
Thanks for giving the opportunity to win!
Busy but had time to do some scrapbooking and crafts!!
It has been a wonderful summer! Not too many days have gone by where I havent gotten a chance to be a little creative.
Cards and layouts mostly!
Thanks to BB for the chance to win such a yummy prize!
I've been outside so much this summer, I haven't done much crafting…but I've taken TONS of pictures that I'm really looking forward to scrapbooking.
I've been outside so much this summer that I haven't had time to do much crafting…but I've taken TONS of pics that I'm looking forward to scrappin'!
I have done quite a bit of creating this summer! Made many cards… a scrapbook for my grandkids of their 4th of July and creating projects for my job as I demo Cricut projects!
our summer is over as of today! I wasn't as creative as I would've liked to have been but I did get some things done.
I've had a busy summer – lots of trips to the pool and several camping tips. I'm looking forward to cropping with my cousin this Saturday. Thank you for the opportunity to win – I love the new Bella Blvd line!

I've never scrapped so much as during the last summer holidays! I even took my scrapbook stuff with me on vacation to Denmark!!
Thanks for a chance to win!!
I've been a bit creative this summer. Just waiting for the perfect Bella Blvd supplies ; ). Actually, I've been making lots and lots of cards – for troops, for cancer patients, for family and friends.
We have been spending our summer going to library programs, camping, and visiting various state park beaches. It has been a fun summer.
My summer has been sweltering! I have managed to do at least 1 scrapbook page a week because I'm on a design team that requires it, so that has kept me going. Right now I'm working on my subway art wall hangings with canvas and vinyl.
only had a little time to be creative and thats when i churned out layout after layout!
it's been a cold summer here in sf. guess it's an excuse to stay indoors and be creative. latest project is just organizing and editing photos from this past year!
Personally, I have had a little time to be creative…cards and a couple layouts. But my girls and I have been very creative doing other kid projects using a lot of my scrap suppplies…stamping, making gift wrap, sewing stuffies…creating flash cards with my alphabet stamps…isn't this what summer is about?
my summer has been terrific. i have 2 great boys and played with them a bunch! I am a teacher so i am headed back to work next week. i love the summer to spend with my boys and do my favorite hobby–SCRAP!!!
My summer has been fantastic and crafty!! I have scrapped like a mad woman and really made use of my craft space! It's been great and inspirational!!
Summer here in the Midwest has been so hot and humid this year. I haven't had much time for crafting as we have been trying to downsize some of our belongings; after 40 years in the same house, we have way too much "stuff". So we have been sorting through books and magazines and making multiple trips to the Book Fair collection center and a local Church's paper recylce bin. Beginning to see some progress. Next step will be to de-junk the basement. My husband and I did manage a short vacation trip to visit some of our state parks to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and I managed to squeeze in a Copic coloring class this summer too. Iris
It's been an incredibly hot summer here. I always look forward to the summer and spending time outside tending to my flower gardens. Not this summer. With record breaking heat in my area my poor flowers have suffered. But on the bright side, the heat has kept me indoors and I've gotten a lot of layouts done! Thanks for the chance to win the colorful fun collection!
Haven't done much crafting – just a few birthday cards. This has been one of the hottest and most humid summers I can remember so I've done a lot of reading – completed our local library's reading program and even won a couple of baseball tickets. Go Cards! Iris
I've had a typical summer. I have been making mini books and layouts. I took a week off work and it happened to be the week of CHA. I was on computer constantly looking for CHA updates and contests. I didn't win anything but I had a blast. Thanks for the chance to win some great stuff!
It's been crazy hot here! We have spent a lot of time in the pool and I've been taking tons of fun pool pictures. We snuck in a few trips to the zoo and the museums too. I kinda like that it's been laid back and relaxing..
Our summer vacation has been over for almost 3 weeks, but we had a great summer!! We swam, went to a Six Flags for the day, had my son's birthday party, bbq'd with friends, had lots of playdates and sleepovers and saw movies. I didn't have time to scrapbook, but with school back in I will be going to our LSS Friday to finish my nephew's HS grad book!!
It has been crazy hot here! We have spent a lot of time in the pool and I have taken tons of pictures! We also snuck in a few visits to the zoos and museums. It's kinda nice to be taking it easy and relaxing…
Great giveaway! I would love to win this
My summer has been filled with lots of landscaping (of our new home) and plenty of BBQs!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Have been able to scrap in between visits with company. Think we are done now for the summer. Had a run in today with some yellow jackets so I could some Sunny Happy Skies!
Love Bella Blvd!
mjmarmo@comcast.net
My best scrapping friend and I scrapped up a storm in July. I'm looking forward to more scrapping time at the end of August!
What a fun giveaway! I linked to it in today's daily scrapbook news article at http://exm.nr/cwnOg5
Our Summer so far has been hectic. We are in the midst of moving out of state and between traveling to the new state and back, there's not much left for a summer break. BUT I still manage to get creative, if you can believe that. A few cards and a couple of pages done. It's not much but I'm counting that as victory. Thanks for letting me share.
My summer has been busy and warm! I have taken the time to plan and start two baby girl albums for gifts. They need to be ready for September and November – yikes!! I'm looking forward to finding these four new Bella Blvd. collections in my LS! I'd love to win Bella Blvd's new "Sunny Happy Skies" collection!
we've spent a lot of time outdoors and taking lots of pics with only a little actual scrapping time – save that for the winter
My summer has been a lot of working and card making. I'm really shocked at all the cards I've managed to make! Now if I could only do it poolside…
Yes! I've been able to devote some time to creating this summer! First, I finished my craft space and love how it turned out. That inspired me to make a HOME banner, a cupcake banner, paint and paper 2 shelves, scrap about 10 layouts and a few more odds 'n ends paper crafts. Such fun! Would love to have more time.
Love this line!!! Summer has been busy with camping, playing baseball and doing lots of yard work. I get more creative during our long Alberta winter. :)
It has been an unseasonably cool summer for Northern CA. I'm still waiting for my vegetable garden to grown and I should be scrapping while I'm waiting but my kids are keeping me hopping as their taxi driver. With all of this fog, my veggies could use some sunny happy skies.
Summer was fun, especially the beach. It is officially over today though with the first day of school. I have had time to be creative this summer and got my girls into it too! So many great pictures to scrap!
I got a new job so I have been working all summer. I did manage to get the albums done for my grandson that gradulaed this year. He was so happy to see all the albums. From the day he was born until his graduation this year.
I have had a fabulous crafty summer! I have refinished tables, repurposed old cabinets, and scrapped my heart out!
It's been my task this summer to get my kids involved in my passion for crafting and scrapbooking. We have made birdhouses, snowglobes, puppets, and scrapbooked! It's been perfect!!
I am crazy for Bella Blvd and I've had an amazing summer. I have attended more crops that I can account and I'm almost done with my altered item gifts for Christmas!!
I have been a card making fool this summer!! I think I have enough cards to last me until 2012! Lol! Love Bella Blvd!!
Very busy summer!!!! I get to scrapbook when I get time. My almost two year old loves to go to the park!!!!!
I was blessed enough to be gifted a sewing machine for my scrappy adventures…. So I've been crafting the summer nights away!
My 'summer' has been cold and wet!
So plenty of great scrapping getting done
Have not had time to be creative this summer with the beautiful outdoors. But taking a lot of pictures to be creative with when the weather is not so nice! Beautiful line to work with from Bella Blvd.
yes – I have been crafting at least once a week this summer!
Too cute. Like the patterns & colors.
New to your blog. 
My summer has been very expensive so far! I spent a week in Vegas and shopped 'til I dropped – I didn't even gamble! Then I went to visit my parents and I shopped some more until I dropped!
Been Creative? Oh yes indead!! I've taken great photos while going on a family vacation with the kids and a 2 nt quick trip with the hubby, and 2 of us traveled to see my 85 yr old father as well as my Mother in law, due to their illnesses. I also have created 2 Bind it all albums, atleast 6 double layouts and learned a ton of new things at the CHA show in Chicago. Now I am off to work out of town this weekend and next. Don't worry I am bringing stuff on the plane!!! Just think, the summer is not over yet!!!!! Having a great one myself!!
Most of my time and money has gone to attending concerts. It seems I go to one about once a week. I'm finding a few free concerts at parks, the beach, etc. Those are just as fun or even more fun than big venue concerts.
I love this paper line and I love what the designers at Bella Blvd are doing with it.

My sons & I have had a blast this summer with sports, traveling, & the pool. School starts tomorrow and I'll be sad not seeing them all day.
Such a beautiful paper collections. I had the absolute best summer ever. My oldest son was married this past July to his college sweetheart. It was the best wedding ever and it was so great to see our family who traveled here for the wedding. And, of course, I've been trying to scrap every day!
Busy summer so far.. have company right now.. not much time for creating yet but i am hopring to soon!
I have had some time to be creative–but my mojo has been hit or miss! I have ended up doing a lot of organizing instead! I bet some new goodies would help change all of that!
My summer has been so so busy with kids' activities like camps and trips to visit family (we've traveled >3400 miles just this summer!). So – no, not really much time to craft. The biggest project I've completed is a 2-up vacation album for the cruise my husband and I took last fall for my 40th, and only several layouts done in June and July. Hoping August will be more productive!
Thanks for the chance to win – Bella Blvd has the cutest lines!
It has been hot – but the community pool has helped. I have been fairly creative this summer.
i have had a great time this summer. great family time and great vacation to Breckenridge. i have actually created quite a bit this summer, compared to what i usually complete. now just to organize the room!!
yes! I make sure to get a least a little scrappy time every week. spent the evening tonight creating with my 10 year old daughter.
Summer has been hot but nice! I have had a lot of creative time to create cards! Thanks for the chance to win!
My summer? err.. we are having rainy season here.. and well.. we don't have four seasons. So far, I'm enjoying the company of hubby since he is back here to work for good!! yay!
Oh, and I love all those paper from this Sunny Happy Skies! Cute!
It's been a very busy summer but you can always saqueeze in some scrapp time, can't you?! I've made alot of layouts about myself, a vacation mini (yet to be completed w/ photos from our vacation) and some altered projects!
It's been a busy CREATIVE summer….haven't done much else….which I am rather sad about but he hubs took some summer classes so we needed to stay close to home!!!
It's winter here in South Africa… and I've been keeping warm by doing some scrapping…. could really do with some added warm feeling if this kit came my way.
With this BEAUTIFUL weather I have been outside with my girl friends ALL summer long (three months and counting), so I have a lot of great pictures I have been turning into cards and LOs!!
We had a great vacation, then worked hard in the house and the garden. And now it's time for to scrap. I made a list of all the things I would like to do and when have time I just pick one!
Our summer is going well. We have done quite a few day trips and with teenagers, there is always fun stuff going on that we have to take them to! We have been going up north to our parent's cabin and plan to do that again next week!
Those are absolutely beautiful papers – the colors are so happy and summery. Would, of course, love to win!
Summer in Arkansas this year has been hot and steamy. Worst in a long time. Only good thing about that is I've had a lot of inside-where-it's-air conditioned time to work on scrappy things. Have been helping DIL with canvasses for both of her girls' rooms. Lots of layouts getting done (yea!) and working on some cards. But since granddaughter is out and out quite a bit, this paper would be perfect to remember her summer. Thanks for a chance to win!
I started off the summer with scrappy enthusiasm and did a few paes but have only been able to make cards since. No problem though, I now have a gorgeous stash of emergency cards for every occassion!

Sadly, this summer has been busier than ever — and my creative time has been lacking! That's not to say I haven't been planning and scheming while I'm doing other things, though! (I get my best creative urges when I have the least amount of time to follow through on them. Go figure!!) I'm hoping to carve out some time to act upon them soon, though! Thanks for the chance at the cool giveaway!
I have had a good crafty summer – getting ready for my first baby so feel the need to get all my supplies/past pages in order !
Have had a busy summer here in hot hot hot Florida. I've been lucky enough to have had time to scrap and craft, and have been participating in some fun swaps. I love these papers…thanks for he lovely giveaway.
So far summer has been fast paced and busy but with lots of fun activities. I have been scrapping up a storm by my standards as I get lots done when on vacation. Thanks for this chance to win some beautiful Bella B!

I spent a month of summer home in Florida. I haven't had much scrapbooking time in the past year
I don't even know what is out there anymore. Today is the first time I looked at all the sites I use to look at everyday. It is so exciting to see all the new products out! My husband just got me a scrapbox for our anniversary-can't wait to get it, organize, and scrapbook! Thanks for a chance to win an adorable kit!
I have scrapped, stamped and learned how to knit. What a crafty summer but I planned it that way! I have a crop Friday night. I cant wait
I consider my summer to be over since school started on Monday–but Yes I have been somewhat creative this summer—working on layouts for my albums and cards for the cards for kids drive.
What a super giveaway! My summer has been pretty relaxed. I've scrapped lots of layouts and made a few 8×8 scrapbooks to give to family members to add their own photos! I am ready for school to start so I will have more free time to scrap even more!
This Summer has been particularly more hot than ever… I live in Puerto Rico (Full Year Summer? well well)… The good thing is that I've really had some time to create. I've made some cards, layouts and mini albums for special occassions… and I've even made some party favors…and I created my blog… isn't it great? It's been a good Summer.
Summer has been fun so far, but has gone by quickly! Done some camping and day trips, waterslides, etc. A little creative time, but more cards than layouts and I want to scrap some more too! LOOOOOOVE these new lines and what a great giveaway!
It is not summer here yet. But I created some lovely cards last week.

Your question made me giggle a little cuz I have been totally creative in my mind and REALLY creative with spending my money and loading up on my stash–teehee! I have big plans, now just need the kids and job and hubby to get creative and make time for me.
I have done a lot of scrapbooking this summer. It seems to be slowing down now for Aug. I have been on a roll since April. Thanks for a chance to win this great Bella Blvd. line.

I got married this summer! We went on our honeymoon and i actually started scrapbooking it last weekend
So much I want to do and so little time. With working full time and then keeping up with the grandbabies seems like my spare time is spent. I have made plenty of cards and decorations for my granddaughters first birthday so hoping to try to get some scrapping done. I enjoy getting all kinds of inspirations from all the wonderful websites, now just need to put them together for myself.
I usually do most of my scrapping in the winter, but circumstances have given me more free time this summer! Would love some sunny sky to work with!!
It's winter here in Australia – but I've been dreaming of the summer days ahead. I've just about had enough of the cold, dreary, weather and the constant colds, runny noses and sniffles. Sunny Happy Skies would bring a lotta sunshine into my life at the moment. Thanks for the chance to win!
I have had moments of super mojo and other moments of the missing mojo! all in all i've created some great cards and even managed to eek out a couple of layouts. It's been a great summer but can't wait until school starts!
Great summer so far. Been to the National Cherry Festival, Mackinac Island and the local fair. Lots of layouts made – averaging 5 per week.
With an 8 month old granddaughter and a 3 month old grandson, I am getting to scrap lots of summer firsts!

Summer has been super busy, but then again when is life NOT? I've been able to finish a few chipboard mini books. They're what inspired me right now, haven't done too many LOs.
I wish I had done more this summer! In fact this evening – hope to catch up sometime douing our mom’s club monthly scrap night!! As of now, I am just making cards for church.
Summer has gone by so fast and I have enjoyed my new grandbaby the whole time, but now it's time to scrap him. I need this line….
I had so much fun at our annual family reunion. Now, to get those pictures into a scrapbook is the next big challenge!
I haven't gone any where this summer, done very little crafting, and have been sick with sinus most of it. I know, boring…but you asked.
window.onload = function(){window.parent.CKEDITOR._["contentDomReadycomment"]( window );}
I have spent my summer recuperating from surgery but read lots of books and got some great projects done.
This summer has been a busy one with me and my family, and added to that I joined the Senior Companion program so my scrapping has suffered a little. I just finished a wedding book for my sister for her to give as a gitt and now I'm working on 2 baby girl albums. So the giveaway would be perfect.
Fabulous collections of goodies. Our summer started off with the Nashville flood, but we didn't have any damage. Then it turn into a totally HEAT wave. I stille managed to play and make some cards and goodies. Staying inside in the AC to stay cool so why not play too. Thanks for a chance.
i def have to make more time to be creative during the summer months. esp when the weather is so nice and you have to take advantage of it….that won't last long, esp here in PA. i did have a scrappy weekend this weekend, that's for sure and I cannot wait to get my hands on some of the Gorgeous Bella Blvd releases!
