Celebrate the Occasion Pool Party Blog Hop

Hello Everyone!  It's summer time here and we are Celebrating the Occasion with a Pool Party Blog Hop!  My CTO friends and I have some amazing projects to inspire your Pool Party crafts and there is BLOG CANDY to be won at every stop!

If you are hopping today, you should have arrived here from Nicole's blog Nadia's World.  If you just happen to be stopping by to see me (thanks, that makes me feel special) you'll want to start at the Celebrate the Occasion Challenge Blog and see all the fun Pool Party projects! 

Lately, I feel like I've been neglecting my scrapbooks so I figured I would make a Pool Party themed layout for you today!  I have been wanting to scrapbook these pics of my Oldest E for the longest time.  This was 2 years ago when she was three and she was having a pool party (by herself)!!  It was one of those priceless moments caught on camera!

I'll apologize now for the terrible pics! Baby E is getting another tooth and she is has been screaming at me all day!  I took these pics with her on my hip and most are uneven.  Also, she has sabotaged my camera again and now there is a black spot on every pic! Sorry!  OK, no more chatty, on with the layout!

I used Bo Bunny paper for my LO.  I've been hoarding this collection since last year and it was screaming out to be used!  

The title is cut from American Alphabet and the postage stamp cut on the bottom right is from B is for Boy.

My poor Cricut didn't get used much with this one, but I think this LO turned out pretty cute!

I hand cut the flags because I was using up the tiniest scraps of my Double Dot!  I was thrilled when the mail came Friday with my new Baker's Twine!  Don't you just love the bright colors!  It is a Twinery collection and it is the newest product over at My Craft Spot! 

Speaking of My Craft Spot, would you like to know who my sponsor is for the Hop today???  You guessed it...It's Kimberly from My Craft Spot! 

 Kimberly has given me an extra set of this bright and summery colored Baker's Twine to give away to one lucky winner!  Thank you Kimberly!!
