Water Fun {with} Heart 2 Heart

The challenge this week at Heart 2 Heart is to create a project about Water Fun in the Summer time!

My family just recently spent 2 weeks having fun in the water and mountains of Lake Tahoe. My brother treated us to a couple of days boating and relaxing on the beach. His boat has always been in our family. He and I have many fond memories from our childhood and now our children are creating great experiences on it too! How cool is that!

*New Product Alert* I've created a fun banner with some pennants and strung them on a line of brand new black&white grosgrain ribbon! I folded it in half and then tied it all together with some twine.

My layout today is from a brand new how-to book featured in the Autumn/Winter 2012 Idea Book. It's called Make It from Your Heart Volume 1. In the past, how-to books were either all scrapbooking or all cards. This book however contains 16 two-page layouts, two single-page patterns and 12 card patterns. The artwork is gorgeous with several samplings of variations for many of the designs. The patterns also coordinate with the current and up-coming Workshop on the Go kits. The best part...it's only $7.95! Oh yes, you'll be seeing many of these patterns right here on my Blog!
