Hey everybody!
We are SO stinkin' excited over at The Greeting Farm...and
ready to spread the SUNSHINE! Why? Because SUNSHINE is the name of
the newest 8 1/2x11 JUMBO KIT of rubber stamps being previewed today on
the TGF Blog!
Just in time for summer, SUNSHINE is full of larger sized stamps, perfect for scrapbooking, cardmaking, or any papercrafting! And ONE LUCKY WINNER just might take one home after hoppin' around the Scrapbooking DT's blogs today!
In addition? The TGF Scrapbooking Team is THRILLED to welcome LYNDA NIELSEN to our gang! You may recognize Lynda as one of our Gardeners and now she is back and ready to get scrappin'! Welcome!
For our Challenge today, (did you KNOW that TGF is doing weekly scrapbooking challenges on the TGF Blog?) I used this great sketch by SB team member Jaci:
Since the SUNSHINE scrapbooking stamping set is all about the beach, fun in the sun, and SUMMER, I decided to take it WAY back and create a layout about the last trip my husband and I took to Hawaii in 2006. *sigh* We used to be able to go to the Aloha state every year before we had kids... Now it's too expensive for us to fly a family of 4 out there. Cross your fingers that a trip will be in our future soon!
Anyway, on to my layout!
I used 3 stamps from the SUNSHINE kit - the title, the flowers and the little journaling block... The journaling block is actually an adorable quote bubble but I decided to keep it simple for this layout and cover up the little "tail" of the bubble. :) The rest of my layout is made with My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary. I love the way it turned out!
I'm so excited to show you more week after week and hope you'll play along with our challenges too! They are every Thursday for scrapbooking and each week we offer up a GREAT prize!

Wow - absolutely beautiful.... Full of sunshine! Just what I needed to see this morning, with all this gloomy rain we've been having this week.
Keeping my fingers crossed for another trip for you to that sunny Aloha state! =)

Aww! What a great layout of you and your hunny! I haven't been out there since 2004. Sniff sniff. We used to go back home every year too, but 6 kids have kind of put a damper on that. lol! At least my family comes up all the time to visit but it's still not the same...;) I love your colors JoAnn, so bright and happy, I can almost hear the sound of the ocean. :D

These are such great pictures you have of the beach. OMG, makes me want to go there. I have to agree with you on the trip, my boyfriend and I used to travel a lot too but now with Max, it's so much harder.
I do hope you and your whole family can make it there so you capture new memories.
