Project Life Endless Summer

It's time for another Saturday Share on this fine Saturday.

We asked design team member Suzanna Lee to focus on our Endless Summer collection and she did an awesome job!

Project Life Endless Summer

Welcome to Imaginisce's version of Saturday Share! 

This week I have something a little bit different to share with you. I don't "do" Project Life as the initial concept of Project Life was conceived. I came to it late in the game. Being the way I am, some of you might get this, I just couldn't start half way into the year. It's either all or nothing. My compromise; Project Life style layouts. Hence, my Project Life style layout using Imaginisce's Endless Summer collection.

Summer's in my family are all about swimming. By early July, summer does seem endless sometimes; sitting on the pool deck at 10:30pm waiting for that last and final relay signaling time to go home! 

This layout is about my son's 100 IM event at Meet 6 of the summer swim season. Each stroke of the individual medley fit perfectly onto the layout leaving me lots of room for journaling and other fun embellishments. The Hot Rocks look just like the water droplets captured in the picture; what a perfect compliment for this swimming layout!

Supplies

Imaginisce - Endless Summer patterned paper, stickers, stamp and chipboard, iRock, Hot Rocks, iRock Stencil

Other - Dies: Papertrey Ink, Lifestyle Craft; Twine: The Twinery; Washi: Pebbles, Love My Tapes; Button: Blumenthal; Letter Stickers: Lily Bee, Punch: Martha Stewart

Endless Summer is just so perfect for ALL your summer needs.  I love that it can be used for so many summer activities- cook outs, swimming, cold treats, and just summer fun!  In our neighborhood you can hear the ice cream truck about a mile away.  The kids love it when they can get their dollar and wait at the end of the driveway and pick out their favorite cold treat.

"You are invited" 

I really love the oversized Die Cuts that come with this collection and decided to create a card to feature those. Love the result!

Supplies: Imaginisce (Endless Summer patterned paper and oversized die cuts).

"Cruising" photo tray

In 2011 my sweet parents-in-law took us, their kids and families, on a 8 day cruise visiting Italy, Greece, Turkey and Kroatia. We had the time of our lives! And although it's been 2 years I still wanted to create something special to give them as a way to say "thank you" (other than we already did). When I saw this gorgeous collection from Imaginisce I knew what I wanted to make: a photo tray! Here it is, hope you like it!

Supplies: Imaginisce (Endless Summer, patterned papers, oversized die cuts, sticker stackers, chipboard stickers and Childhood Memories ABC stickers). Other supplies: Kaisercraft photo display, American Crafts cardstock, gesso, Studio Calico color mist, dies: Spellbinders, Joy crafts, Marianne Design. Tools: Silhouette Cameo and Sizzix Big Shot.

"Hooray for Summer"

When I first saw the Endless Summer collection I fell in love with the watermelon paper. My son's favorite food was watermelon when he was a toddler. I couldn't take him into the grocery store without walking out with a watermelon. So I had to dig out these older photos I took of him. We ate LOTS of watermelon in the summer! How could I say no? Could you resist that face?

Supplies:
Imaginisce: Endless Summer: Patterned Paper, Chipboard Stickers; Sticker Stackers, die cuts, i-Rock, hot rocks rhinestuds in black, colored foam adhesive in black;
Recollections cardstock in white; The Paper Company cardstock in black; Bazzill cardstock in red; Quick Quotes Powderpuff chalk ink in Green with Envy, Bloody Mary; October Afternoon Sprinklers in Strawberry; Sakura Micron pen; burlap

"BBQ Recipe Book"

The other thing that I love about the Endless Summer collection are the snag 'em stamps. They are all so darn cute! So I wanted to do a project that showcased some of them as well as more of the paper and embellishments. I decided to put some of my favorite BBQ recipes into a book for my daughter. Not just grilling recipes, but other foods you would find at a BBQ. This is something I have been meaning to do for a while, ever since she moved out. These are some of my most requested recipes and include recipes from my mother and grandmother as well as friends. I printed my recipes onto larger index cards and trimmed them down rather than hand write them as I wanted to fit the entire recipe on the front of the card. The larger index cards went through my printer easier. The stamps worked so well to embellish the recipe cards inside. I think this is something my daughter will treasure for many years :)

Supplies:
Imaginisce: Endless Summer: Patterned Paper, Chipboard Stickers, Sticker Stackers, die cuts, picnic snag 'em stamp, grill snag 'em stamp, treats snag 'em stamp, Love You More: Washi tape,  i-Magicut Ribbon Cutter, d-stress tool Little Yellow Bicycle burlap mini album; The Paper Company cardstock in black; Core'dinations cardstock black Kraft core; Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels One; Quick Quotes Powderpuff chalk ink in Midnight Confession, Green with Envy, Bloody Mary, Baja Blue, and Mocha Mama; May Arts white grosgrain ribbon and black twine; Really Reasonable Ribbon; Sakura Micron pen; Derwent Watercolour pencils; Epiphany Crafts button

"Hot Summer Days"I have lots of summer photos from our vacation and decided to create a double page layout in a grid like fashion. I added 3 X 3 blocks and added photos as well as the Endless Summer die cuts and stickers to embellish the layout.  I absolutely LOVE all the fun summer saying and the die cuts are super cute! This collection is so versatile for all your summer photos!

Here's a close-up of the 2 pages of Jodi's layout.

Supplies Used:  Endless Summer Collection, Endless Summer Stick Stackers BBQ and Lazy Days; i-rock tool, Glam rocks, Childhood Memories ABC Stickers
Other Supplies: Twine from the Twinery; EK success Heart Punch; Martha Stewart circle Punch.


"Hello Sunshine Card"

I simply adored the little Sunshine Snag-em Stamp, and knew that I wanted to create a card where the sun would be the primary focus.  I stamped the image on white cardstock along with the Sunshine Snag-em Stamp, and then used Copic Markers to color them in.  I matted the card to bring out some of the color to create a simple but fun and happy card.

Supplies Used: Endless Summer Collection; Sun Snag-em Stamp; Sunshine Snag-em Stamp, Childhood Memories ABC Stickers
Other Supplies: Twine from the Twinery, Copic Markers

"Hooray For Summer"

My family love watermelon and when summertime rolls around we can hardly wait to get it.  Biting into that juicy piece of fruit is the best.   And this patterned paper was so perfect for my photos. I played along with the 'watermelon' theme by handcutting some seeds from black cardstock and also using my i-rock to adhere some black Glam Rocks along the top of my layout.

Supplies used: Imaginisce (Endless Summer - patterned papers, Sticker Stackers, Die-cuts), Foam Tape, i-rock tool and Glam Rocks (black) ; Core'dinations Colorcore cardstock, Embossing folder

"You Are My Sunshine"

That sunshine patterned paper is super cool! I love it but decided to only use a small portion of it to go along with the theme of my layout.

I used the "sunshine" Snag 'em Stamp with blue ink on the green paper and embellished it with some turquoise glitter Glam Rocks.

Supplies used: Imaginisce (Endless Summer - patterned papers, Snag 'em Stamps, Die cuts), Foam Tape, i-rock tool and Glam Rocks, alpha stickers (from Childhood Memories collection) ; stamping ink, twine (The Twinery), Core'dinations Colorcore Cardstock, embossing folder, Border Punch (Fiskars)

"WTG"

I thought this little bikini die cut was darling.  I decided to create a card that I will give to a friend who has been working hard losing weight and has finally reached her goal weight.

Supplies used: Imaginisce (Endless Summer - patterned papers, die cuts), Foam Tape, i-rock tool and Glam Rocks; Border punch & corner punch (Fiskars); Core'dinations Colorcore Cardstock, twine (The Twinery

"Hooray For Summer"
This Endless Summer collection is awesome!  The colors are so vibrant and fun and make you want it to be Summer already!  Living by the beach we have tons of surf and sand pics and I couldn't wait to scrapbook them in a double layout with the Endless Summer Collection.   All the patterned paper coordinates very well together and you can't go wrong with any combination.  I used both sides of the Summer Picnic paper and the Sunkissed paper which I thought was perfect for the beach scene photos.  I also chose a few great die cuts and embellished them with Hot Rocks.

Supplies:
Paper:  Summer Picnic, Sunkissed, Let's Eat.  Embellishments:  Lazy Days Stickers, Summer Die Cuts, Hot Rocks.  Tools:  I-Rock tool.


"Endless Summer"

Our family loves to BBQ and the kids love to eat!  I love the BBQ and picnic theme papers and embellishments in the Endless Summer collection.  It makes for a very fun layout!   Because I love all the fun patterns I had a hard time choosing. So, the perfect way to use a bunch of the patterns, was to incorporate pennant flags with all the fun patterns.  I made all the pennants with the Summer Picnic patterned strips and layered them on the page.  I loved how it turned out!

Supplies:  Paper:  Let's Eat, Creamsicle, Soda Pop, Summer Picnic.  Embellishments:  Sticker Stackers, Hot Rocks.  Tools:  I-Rock Tool

"Sunshine" Snag'Em Card

It's been such a cold winter for so many of my friends, I was especially glad to see the warm, bright, happy colors in the Endless Summer collection. I thought I would create a card for one of my good friends still weathering the winter in the northeast to help warm her up and get her dreaming about summer. I adore the darling sun Snag 'Em stamp and thought it would make the perfect focal point for a happy card. I stamped the image twice, once on yellow and again on orange cardstock. To get more dimension, I used foam tape to pop up the smiling face and snipped in between all the rays before bending the solid ones forward. Adding the "sunshine" sentiment stamp and some glitter made the whole thing pop off the patterned paper!

Supplies used:

Patterend Paper: (Endless Summer collection) Imaginisce; Cardstock: (orange, yellow, white) Stampin' Up!; Stamps: (sun and "sunshine" from Endless Summer); Dies: Cloud Border, Cloud Duo (Taylored Expressions), label die (Stampin' Up!); Accents: (stickles, liquid pearls) Ranger; Ink: (white hybrid) PTI

"Live Love SWIM"

My little rugrat has been learning how to swim and I've been waiting for the perfect collection to use to help me capture his experience. The wave paper from Endless Summer was just the ticket. I had a great underwater photo as well as one of him earning a ribbon. It was tricky using two such different photos, but I solved my dilemma by placing the swimming photo behind vellum. I also placed some of the patterned wave paper behind vellum as well, which gave the otherwise simple layout some interesting design elements. I love the chipboard stickers from this collection and the words "Live, Love, Swim" made for a terrific title. For a final accent to the page, I used the one of my i-Top punches to create these little elements, which reminded me of "paddle wheels."

It's no wonder that I love this collection!  Summer is my favorite season and summer photos are my favorite to scrap.  So, the bright colors and happy sun are perfect for all of the happy captures that I love so much!
