"I remember my grandmother having one of those kinds of blankets. I used to like to feel the texture of it. I love this idea to make snowballs with one. Really clever!"

"It's closer to July right now than December so my mind automatically jumped to July 4th when I saw the star! It would make an awesome decoration for Independence Day in the US. A dozen or so (50?) strung out like a banner would be impressive. It looks like an easy enough project (maybe not 50 of them) and I really like the look of the star, so I might try it."

"This is hysterical. I have got to make one of these for my son. We love this movie and the Fra-gee--lay has been one of the most comedic notes for us. This is such an easy pattern to embroider. If you don't know how to embroider there are small canvasses that would work great to do this as a tiny painting."

"My sister will love this ornament. She collects snowmen and women. It is so cute and is quite easy to make. I would have fun making a collection of them with different colors. I think girl and boy snow people will be just right. I would probably hang them on fishing line or thread."

"This is such a great idea. This would be a cute craft for a birthday party close to Christmas. It would be a perfect craft for a school study unit that many elementary students have. I know my boys would have loved these when they were in kindergarten and first grade. Our family members at any age love to make ornaments."

Summer Stamp Collection Review

Nothing says summer like the fun memories you make of it, and there's no better way to document your memories than by scrapbooking. My newest obsession is with Lawn Fawn's new Summer Stamp Collection; you're going to melt from all the cuteness, not the heat.

Of course there is a variety of stamps to choose from for your next scrapbook adventure, but I've chosen a few of my favorites:

Here's the Scoop: Loads of ice cream, sundaes and scoopers to melt over.
Mermaid for You: Mermaids, sea creatures and other fun designs. You'll love the phrases in this one (Sea you soon, we mermaid for each other); so cute!
Yay, Kites: Nothing is more fun than flying a kite on a windy summer day. Choose your favorite ink colors and create your own scenery with kites and woodland creatures.
Summertime Charm: What's summer without watermelon? Fill the mason jar with strawberries, lemons and watermelon for a deliciously fun day.
Let's BBQ: Every day is a bbq day during the summer, so be sure to capture those days then remember them with stamps of burgers, hot dogs, grilling tools and fun punny phrases like "we should ketchup" and "relish the day".
Flamingo Together: Fun flamingos with palm trees and phrases will surely set the tone of your scrapbook page.

I know I refer a lot to scrapbooking above, but these stamps can also be used to make stationary as well as greeting cards or invitations. Imagine getting an invitation for a summer bbq with fun graphics of hot dogs and ice cream cones; you can preface it with the "here's the scoop" stamp. Enjoy the summer by making memories and stamping along the way.

Each of the stamps from Lawn Fawn is photopolymer clear stamps that can be gently peeled off the sheet. All you have to do is stick the stamp to an acrylic block, press it into an ink pad and stamp away! The Summer Stamps Collection are a great way to enjoy the summer.
