Road Trip U.S.A. Blog Hop

Welcome to the

Blog Hop.

Today's hop is all about traveling this great country of ours and all the crafty

projects are inspired by that travel theme.

We've got a bit of everything for you today, so be sure to stop by each blog and leave a

little love in the form of a comment. One comment will be chosen from all those left on the hop by June 30th for a Stampin' Up prize pack and the winner will be announced on next month's hop.

My family loves to travel and my girls and I especially love to visit theme & water parks.

Big or small we love them all.   I really encourage you to seek out hidden gems

in your state and visit.  Find the little Mom & Pop businesses and you'll love them I promise.

My project for today is a layout of a little water park 

in our own state of Ohio that we have frequented for many years. 

All of the embellishments are Cricut cartridge diecuts.

The pics on this 4 page spread are just a few years old!

My girls are now 21 and 20 and the nephews in these pics are now 13.

Where did the time go?

I really should scrapbook more, 

as there are tons and tons of pics waiting in bins and boxes and on

the computer to be printed that really deserve to be enjoyed in a book.

Have you traveled recently (or maybe not so recently)?

Get busy folks and scrap those pics!

Happy Crafting

Theresa

A Year of Card Techniques June Blog Hop

Welcome to

It's month six of our year long adventure 

into different card-making techniques, folds and paper crafting products.  
We hope you got the chance to hop with us each month.

It's not to late to hop and comment to be entered into our prize drawing.

If you missed any of the previous months,

 you can click on the month to be taken directly to the start of that month's hop. 

January       February  March     April     May

This month we will be creating step cards and 

you won't want to miss the amazing and fun cards we've got for you today. 

 We really love feedback,  

so please leave a comment on each of the blogs in today's hop.  

Each comment on the 12 hops throughout the year will be 

entered into a drawing for a $25 Blitsy.com or Stampin' Up gift certificate (Winner's Choice). 

Now on with the projects.

I have to admit these cards should not been that hard to do. 

It's just scoring and folding but I really struggled with them.  I finally completed ONE card.

When doing this type of card, it is important to have a good quality score tool/board or

a trimmer with scoring tool that is accurate!  Take your time and measure correctly 

and score and fold correctly.  Now I have to admit I'm not very patient and so that's probably

the majority of my problem with this type of card. It requires me to be patient in the building

of the foundation of the card. NOT my strength!

Search Pinterest for Step Card Templates and you'll find tons options. 

However, my wonderful friend, Anna from Grumpy Grandma Creations, who is  also a 

member of the Card A Day Challenge Blog Design Team is a whiz with these kind of cards.

Here is one of her wonderful cards.

Hopefully the rest of the hoppers had an easier time than me with this one,

but if you don't try, you don't learn.

If you don't keep learning, you wither.

If you wither, you die.

So trying new things is a good thing, even when it's hard. 

Happy Crafting
