july blog hop | gossamer blue

Good morning and welcome to the Gossamer Blue blog hop!   

  Today I am going to share with you a page I made about part of our trip to Arizona last year.  Every year we go to spend a couple weeks with my parents (except this year since we moved).  The kids spend the entire time getting dirty and soaking up the sun.  Pretty much the perfect summer.  Last summer my dad had a rock pile in the back yard and Kaitlyn was up on top and then sliding down multiple times a day.  

On this evening I caught her up on top yelling that she was queen of the mountain.  

This day was picture perfect.

I think my favorite part is that big wood veneer camera.  *swoon

Good morning friends!  I have my first page for Gossamer Blue to share with you today.  As soon as I got my kits and saw the circle stickers by Evaliscous and the buttons by Shimelle, I knew just what I wanted to do for this page.  

My trusty silhouette came out and lots of circles in different sizes were cut to be layered together.  

TIP:  I put 4 of the 6x6 papers on my mat and used photoshop to set up the different cuts on a 12x12 sheet before cutting.  That way I could cut all of them at once.  It allowed me to see what sizes were being cut for each pattern of paper, too.  It made for much easier layering when it came time to put the page together.
