How can you resist this adorable Sunkissed Summer DIY Kit?

We are so excited to introduce the first of six DIY kits – I Scream for Ice Cream DIY Kit.

This may be my personal favorite of our DIY Kits. Sunkissed Summer includes popcicles, waves, clouds, polka dots and stripes. This fun kit is complete with stickers, journaling tags and 12 bright spunky patterned paper. The patterned paper includes a solid on one side and a pattern on the other – perfect for matting your favorite photos. This collection is perfect to capture photos from your most memorable summer vacations. Next week we will feature a few DIY projects with this fun collection. Our last sneak peek will be revealed this afternoon! Check back soon!

I’ve seen these guys a few other tradeshows and they’ve invented the coolest product! It’s on my “wish list”! You can create your own custom epoxy shapes and acrylic buttons using your own papers or photos. Check out Epiphany Crafts to learn more! Here are a few photos about how it works and what you can create with these fun embellishments!

First off, how flippin’ cute is their booth!?!?

Hope you had a great 4th of July! I had such a fun, carefree, relaxing weekend with friends and family – it was fantastic! We had a very successful bachelorette party for my little sister on Saturday. Between pool time, DIY facials and masks, fruity blended drinks, LOTS of food, a limo ride, goody bags, a lingerie cake (pics coming soon!), a fancy dinner, champagne, lots of free drinks, a sleepover and brunch… we had a total blast! We definitely made Lauren’s “last fling before the ring” a very fun, glamorous evening. Now, the countdown is on — Just 3 weeks until the big day.

July is always such a hectic month for me, plus the festivities of my sister’s wedding. I’m going to be SUPER busy, but it’s all very exciting! Next weekend: A friend from college’s wedding up in LA area, then the big OTL tourney on Sunday with my girls. The following weekend: a bridal shower for another friend, then packing up for CHA in Chicago with Charity Wings. The weekend after: Lauren & Matt’s Wedding! Woo hoo.

Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! Here’s a detail shot of a page in the summer mini album!

Hope you are having a wonderful day full of sunshine! Here’s a detail shot of our new Summer Album on Etsy! Enjoy!
