If you've come to me first, you need to back up! Hop on over to visit Paula first, and she will direct you to the next blog and so on, then you will come back to me and I will send you on your way! :o) Don't forget to leave some love on each of the girls blogs! You need to visit each one of us and leave each of us a comment to be able to win the grand prize! So, get outta here! Go see Paula and work your way back here!
Ok, now that you're back... don't the girls have AMAZING blogs? I love them all!!
So, Let's Get This Summer Started!!!
Kite Festival is coming up and we are sooo excited! Long Beach, WA hosts the largest kite festival in the world during the third week in August every year, and we try to make it there as often as we can. My Mom will be joining us this year and I just cannot wait!!!
We are also looking forward to a few smaller events and activities this summer. We have to get ideas to keep Emily busy as her last day of school was Friday! She is fascinated with volcanoes right now, so we are planning on taking her up to see Mt. St. Helens at some point this summer. We are also looking into the Portland Pirate Festival in Portland, OR, in September. We are close to Couer D'Alene, ID as well, which is a beautiful city with fun boat rides and home to the Silverwood Amusement park, so we are thinking of a weekend there as well. It's looking to be a pretty busy summer! We would like to get Emily into swimming lessons and maybe some soccer lessons as well!
There are lots of birthdays during the summer as well! Hubby's birthday is in July, our Anniversary and my birthday are in August, my Mom's birthday is in September!
I don't think we'll be lacking in things to do this summer!
I've sprinkled a few summer themed projects throughout this post, I hope you enjoy them!
Ok, I've kept you here long enough, from here you want to go visit Carly, she's the last stop on this hop and has the details on the grand prize, which is being donated by the wonderful Carly, herself! Thanks, Carly!
I hope you are enjoying the blog hop and I am so glad that you are all loving our Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog as much as we, the Design Team do! Thanks so much for joining us every week!
Have a wonderful summer! Be Safe and enjoy your families!

I've now been visiting Paula, Nikki, Line, Pricilla, Donna, Liza, Joey, Janneke, Joanne, Kristin and Jilly - and now it's your turn!
During summer I love spending time with my family on our boat, and go swimming in the sea!
happy summer, Dee! Hugs, Lena
Okay some of them aren't posted yet :( which means I'll have to go back later on. That's okay though! I LOVE your kite card sweets! And you know that if you plan a trip to Silverwood you have to let us know when. Maybe we can make it work out to meet you up there! We've been wanting to get up there soon. Off to finish the hop (for now anyways!)
During summer I love spending time with my husband in the garden.
Love your card with a crab on it, I used to take my children crabing in the summers. hugs Shelley
Hiya love this cadr that crab is so cute and the wedding card is great I like the embossing and the added pearls are perfect. When I was younger I used to love spending my summer days pond dipping at the local river and finding out about all the little critters that live in it I am a bit big for that now though :( I am sure your daughter will love the trip to st.Helens. Have a great summer

Hello Dee,
*giggle* That crab-card is hilarious :D I hope you have some time to unwind this summer too, as it sounds you'll be busy through the season! Relaxing is my favorite summer thing, just lift up my feet and enjoy the warmth!

Oh it sounds like you're in for an action packed summer :-) I live in Gozo, a small mediterranean island and spend most of the summer swimming and avoiding the sun :-) I swim in the shade !! :-)

Wow, you sound like me in having a busy summer!! Last year's was crazy!! I am hoping this year's will be a little calmer, but I don't think my girls will allow it!! LOL My fav summertime thing to do is hanging out with my girls!! Going to Disney, Adventure Landing (our waterpark here in Jacksonville, Fl), the pool, the beach, etc. If you can't tell we enjoy being out in the sun all summer!!
Love your cards!!

Nikki
I wish we had a kite festival here (Los Angeles). Or maybe we do and I just don't know about it? Anyway, thank for the fun cards and summer plans. Hope you have a good anniversary and birthday!
hello dee :) nearly forget to hop over here ;) wonderful cards as always and your summer sounds to be nice! have a great sunday, manuela
I love both cards, they are both 2 techniques I have never tried before. I was always too afraid to try the slider card, and the top card is one of those 2 flap cards right (can't remember the exact name)?
Hope the Kite flying goes well!!
Martha in Michigan

This hop has been fun, and I've enjoyed some new sites! Enjoy your summer!
Hi Dee,
Definitely sounds like you'll have a fun but busy summer! How exciting! I love getting in the car and traveling to do different things with my family during the summer too! This year we have a few colleges we need to visit, since Kaela's going to be graduating from high school in June 2010, so we're really looking forward to that! Any excuse for a vacation is fine with me!
Hope you enjoy all the birthday fun, barbecues and the volcano! I've never seen one in real life...how fascinating! Especially if it was active at the time!
Thanks for being such a fantastic part of the SSC DT! I truly enjoy having you on board and am blessed to share your creativity with our visitors each week! Thank you for all your hard work and for always being willing to help out and participate in any way that you can! You are truly appreciated!
Hugs,
Priscilla
I love your cards! My 6 yr old son is fascinated with volcanos too. along with tornadoes and anything to do with bad weather!! Have great summer and have fun exploring!!!
It's taken me along time to get through everyones blogs, one because they are wonderful and two because my computer decides I don't need to be on any more! UGH
Your festivals sound like fun. One of my favorite activities here in the summer is to visit wineries and pick your own farms. We actually have quite a few in Virginia!
Ok, back for a second visit...our time zones are off :0 Enjoyed the blog hop this morning. Enjoyed your post today and all the neat projects and ideas. summer sounds busy for you.....we are in the relaxing mode...kids are in collge and off on adventures or working, so hubby and I enjoy watching the baby fawns (we raise deer) and taking cruises on the harley.
love the cards!!!! We spend so much of the summer on the lake!
