Surprise the Pride!

Hello everyone!  We are gathering once again to blog hop and pounce our way through some fun projects!
This months theme was "surprise the pride" and we had complete creative freedom this month and each of us have kept our projects a secret!  How fun is that!!!  You all know me!!!  I CAN'T KEEP A SECRET BUT I DID THIS TIME!  YAY! LOL      I would like to welcome you to my blog and my "Surprise" project.  
If you came to my blog by accident please go to the beginning of our hop with 

My project is a page layout entitled Summer Blessings. I remember growing up and about this time every year the group of kids in our neighborhood would get together for a summer picnic!  We would save our money all summer, gather pop bottles to turn in for money, do whatever we needed to do to get enough money to buy chips, pop, sandwich stuff and some candy. What a picnic!  What fun we had!  We would play all day and sometimes my Dad would let us roast marshmallows late in the evening.  Those are the awesome days of Summer Blessings because you never feel like that again in all your life!


I hope you all have enjoyed this layout...it is kinda different in a lot of ways.  I used a mix of flowers and even used the cardboard cover of a mini album I thought I might want to make some time ago but it never seemed to come together...The paper collection is the Mira Collection of K&Co from some years past. 

Please hop on over to Linda's blog at http://simpleandsassycreations.blogspot.com/

Here is the lineup for our blog hop!  Enjoy!!

  2. Wow Suzie, you layout is so beatiful and soothing. The colors are breathtaking. I too use to meet with friends each summer in our make shift club house. We would put our allowance money together and go buy junk food and soda pop. We would hide away for hours in our little world. Thanks for surprising us with such a gorgeous layout.

  6. This layout is beautiful! I love how you used all of the bright colors on it! Your story really hit home with me...When I was a kid our family would go on trips to the coast. While we were there, as a family, we would gather pop cans and bottles we found, and when we had enough we would all go get ice cream! Hot fudge Sundaes for me!! What a great memory you just reminded me of! Thanks for that!! You did a beautiful job!! Hugs to you,
    Michelle
