I just love summer and going to the beach.  Here are a couple of family photos from the Jersey Shore!
 Me and Hubby
 Everyone having fun in the sand
 Future contractors, lol
My beach babe

These pictures just make me anxious for next year now, lol!!!  I thought for the blog hop I would recreate a favorite card of mine.  That is the great thing about the Gypsy!  I can save my designs and re- cut them on my Cricut at a later date!!!!  Oooo, I just love technology!!!!

I used Life is a Beach Cricut cart.  It is my favorite for summer projects!
This card came out cute I think.  I did a "cardscape"  You can find out all about those HERE on CSDivas.
Hope you are enjoying the blog hop.

We would love to see what you come with for summer too!  Link your entries to Mr Linky by August 9, 7 pm eastern, to get two tickets and entered to win the blog hop prize.

Have a very wonderful August and thanks for hopping!
