American Crafts paper, why do clouds make me happy so happy? Love their always fabulous thickers!
Scenic Route's new line came just in time since I am working on Christmas stuff for CK right now! I loved the contrast with their girly/boy paper lines.
Cosmo Cricket's new lines are so stinkin' fun! Love their wood grain paper. Why is it that I want wood grain on my pages & on my floor! I love this wood-grain rug from Pottery Barn, actually I'll take the whole office! ;)
Since I need to make room for some new supplies what better way than giving it to one of my fabulous blog readers!!
It's impossible to fit it all in the picture, trust me, this is my yummiest giveaway yet! :)

What a fabulous giveaway!
So far the best memory this summer is having my 2 year old in swimming lessons - fun times!
My favorite thing about summer was seeing my sweeties (Colin 1, Georgia 3) always smiling and having a blast every time we got in our nasty hot car (we live in Phoenix, AZ.) They still danced and sang to music even when they were dripping with sweat and had bright red cheeks. Kids are so resilient, it's beautiful.
What a yummy giveaway, thanks Elizabeth!! My favorite memory of the summer so far is watching my boys compete in the Iowa Summer Games last month in swimming and they came home with a total of 10 medals.
Oh my - radical goodies! My fav has been watching my son discover the outdoors. This is his first summer (out of the hospital anyway - he's a preemie) and watching him touch the grass and have the breeze on his face has been so fun.
You have the cutest family ever.
Hmmm...not the most exciting summer yet, but I did buy my wedding dress for 2009!
There are sometimes when I don't have a camera nearby and just remember a moment...
Last week, my girls were playing in the sandbox (sitting on the edge), I was sitting beside them reading a book and overheard "That's why I like you!" Then, they hugged each other and both fell over, laughing, 4 feet sticking up in the air! A great lil moment for me to just remember...
My favorite summer memory for this summer is taking my kids to the beach for a day while visiting my Lil Sis in NC. It was just the perfect day.
OMG! Lots of comments! My fave summer memory is probably just spending Sundays with my hubby riding our bikes and having our own little picnics at the beach parks.
my favorite memory of summer so far is when we were at the beach my hubby and son found an abandoned broken boogie board. my husband got my son to play with it (he is only 5 and is just learning to swim) anyways, the joy on his face while coming into shore brings a smile to face every time I look at the picture. Luckily I was able to capture that expression. and I even scrapped a page about it too!
My favorite summer memory has to be 4th of July. Having family and friends together and seeing the kids face as we lite fireworks.
Great stuff...would love to have!
My greatest summer memory...I have lots of just little things...my daughter losing her first tooth and getting her first six year molar; watching fireworks; eating watermelon...how messy!; tenting out in the backyard with the girls...I need a camper I'm getting too old for that!; finding bird egg shells and snakes and baby bunnies in our back yard; both my daughters learning how to swim...I could go on...its just been the little things that have made this summer great!

my favorite memory so far this summer actually just happened yesterday - I decided to try golf for the first time. And I quite enjoyed it. Despite the hot humid weather, with next to no breeze, the game itself was rather fun and a good way to take your mind off things.
thanks for sharing all your creative ideas!!
sleeping in our tent in the back yard and showing our baby girl her very first shooting star.
No specific memory. Just a lot of little moments watching my first daughter change through her first year. Loving every minute of it.
Cool Giveaway! My favorite memory is of my husband and I going to the Vampire Prom on Friday for Stephanie Meyer's new book. If you really want to see pix check out my blog. www.lacijphotography.blogspot.com
Watching my kids learn to swim.. my almost 4 yr old the whole time with the instructor... "hi mom, hi mommy.. mama look at me" I love it. Holding the big floating Q-tip...it's so cute, can't wait to scrap it!
I spy supercute stuff to use for it!! Thanks for sharing!
So far my favorite memory of the summer is my little boy (Riley's) firsts: swimming, riding the lawn mower with daddy. He was born in March this year so every day is a memory!
Hope I win some goodies!!!

Hey Lizzy! I love all your cha faves... AC is definitely mine from the show. My fave memory of the summer by far... like EVER... has been the night of July 21... when I took a pregnancy test... and the result was POSITIVE. It's been a dream of mine since I was alil girl to be a mother so when my husband and I looked at the double blue line on the test that night, it was magical....xo
My favorite memory so far this summer is laughing with my cousins at Universal Studios after my grams got picked to be featured in a live show.
my favorite memory is watching my toddler daughter play with her cousin at the spray park, pure joy on hot summer day. Rachelle, IL
I have to pick just one memory? I'd have to say the lazy days spent down at the pool with my boys. DS1 is so much more comfortable in the water this year and DS2 is discovering how fun the pool can be.
Thanks for doing the giveaway.

My sweet baby's smile and her little dimple. We had a really scary time this summer when she stopped breathing so every smile is a blessing!
Spending the afternoon in the blow up baby pool with my 20 month old daughter (and her dad too).
just love your blog - cased your fabric coaster album - check it out on my blog...http://prettypaperposies.blogspot.com
all those sweets look like fun...

going to the Diamondbacks game here in Arizona!! it's under a roof that is very cold.
Love, love, love the scenic route stuff!! Fabulous! Favorite summer memory? Hmmm? Too many to count, so I'll just say spending time with my sweet baby at the pool! Hope I get lucky this time!!
Erin
Fave memory is waking up & just chilling in my bed with my girls...instead of rushing up to get dressed for school :)
My favorite memory so far has been the day I went to the OB and my daughter saw pictures of her new little sibling for the first time. She was so proud and happy. She's been calling herself big sister ever since.
Turning off all the lights at night and watching the lightening with my husband and kids during some of the crazy thunderstorms we've gotten this summer here in VA.

My favorite memroy so far? My near two year old saying CHEESE when he has a cell phone or camera in his hands. I'm in love with this litte boy's new set of words and phrases.
Or, his first beach experience! He loved the water so much.
This was the first summer with my 7 month old son, Parker, so we have made lots of fun memories! But I would have to say that one of the more memorable ones was when our family flew in for the 4th and we spent the whole day outside...by the pool (Parker LOVED the water!), cooking out, watching fireworks...enjoying the simple things outside!!! I took over 200 pics of Parker that day...but boy oh boy do I have some cute ones! :)
I love reading your blog Elizabeth! I have recently found it and hope to start one too soon! So fun!!! Thank you!

my favorite memory so far this summer is watching my youngest daughter start to swim and look forward to her swim lesson everyday. very cute in two pigtails and two hairclips and goggles on her forehead, not her eyes... oh, and i also love reading your blog!
Going to the zoo with my niece and nephew to check out the new baby elephant! SSSSSOOOOO ADORABLE!! :)
Taking my entire family to Table Rock Lake for a summer vacation. All 15 had a great time and everyone is ready to book for next year.
Attending a rodeo and my kids all dressed up in their cowboy hats, boots and belts. So
fun!

My favorite summer memory is watching Sabrina learning how to float on her back and tummy for the first time...wanting NO help from mom!
Playing with my new grandson. He's 6 months old and loves to kick a beach ball.

My son is a year and half... so I have been enjoying the summer evenings watching him play in the grass and with the plants.
My fave memory this summer has been celebrating my husband's 30th birthday at the lake with family. We had a great time and plenty of great food.
My favorite memory is occuring right now! My 3 nephews are here visiting us right now. I have four boys of my own so I have 7 boys ranging in age from one year to 11 years old-WOWSERS!!! We are having so much fun. It is tradition I started last summer. They come stay with us for a few days. We play, hit the water parks, Lake Tahoe, watch movies & play some more. I hope you are having a great summer.
Thanks for the chance @ the give away! Your ROCK!
My fave memory from this summer was framing both my college diploma and my husband's college diploma. My husband just graduated in May, and I graduated last year. Seeing both of our diplomas framed and perfectly placed on the wall brought tears to my eyes--even my husband got choked up! (It goes without saying that I took several pics, and am scrapbooking them right now!)
My favorite memory is taking my kids to the beach. We have a very special beach we go to - - only 8 parking spots, the kids rarely play in Lake Michigan, they play in this awesome creek that runs into it! Each time we go, the stream has changed and moved. Totally awesome place to race boats, build sand castles, find rocks, rocks and more rocks and try to be engineers and re-route the path of the water. Summer is the best!!!

Favorite memory this summer...being brave enough to try a bikini wax. I LOVE jumping into my bikini with no worries. and can't forget...our trip to the coast with all of my 3 kids mine + 2 stepkids. We had so much fun!
you're great - love your blog. Thanks!
Congratulations Elizabeth on your new lovely! I have admired your blog for a while, love your humour. My favourite summer memory is laying in the grass with my kids and enjoying their joy. Kira
love the AC quote bubble paper, bought it yesterday..
fav memory...
taking my baby swimming for the first time ever... her sisters splash her and she loves it! sucks away at her chubby fingers and takes it all in!
can't wait to see what all you create!
Relaxing days at the pool with my boys! They grow up way to fast!!!
WoW I am the 653rd person to post! I never new there was so many people out there that love to do scrap booking. But with such a fantastic giveaway I'm not surprised. Thanks for having it~!
Wowza! You have a comment or two for this one! One of my fave memories from this summer was the charity softball game we went to before it got WAY hot. I remembered how much I love sitting behind the plate, singing 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame,' and smelling hot dogs and popcorn!

My favorite memory of summer.. hmmm... I think my fave was when my hubby came back (he's a firefighter here in Ca, and has had a busy year) and my boys were SO excited, they made him a banner welcoming him home (it had been 2 months) and stayed up to see him. It was SO GOOD to see him, we all just sat around catching up. It was nice!
Hopefully third time will be a charm posting this. *crosses fingers*
My favorite memory this summer was the family weekend in Arkansas for my grandpa's 83rd bday. I learned to kayak. Gave rides on my horse, Tye. Took my brother and my niece Geocaching for the first time. Went on a canoe trip. But the thing I enjoyed the most was being so far from the sounds of civilization, no planes, trains or highways to interrupt the perfection of nature.
Swimming in my pool on the weekend!

Loved the pics of your girls! Too cute for words! My summer has been great since I have had my 11 year old grand daughter all summer long! We have done all kinds of crafts, read several books and had cooking lessons! Its the best summer I've had in years! Thanks
I have 2 favorite moments: when my daughter came home from bible camp and told me that she had accepted Jesus and the second was watching her get baptized. Our whole family was there to experience the beautiful event.
I enjoy your blog so much! You are an inspiration; not only in the way you scrapbook, but the way you live your life and love your family.
Take care!

Your fun giveaway looks great!
This may seem odd, but a summer memory that will NEVER leave me from this day forward is when my sister (my one and only), her husband and 3 yr old were in a very bad car accident and ran dead on into a tree. It's been a long month but it's my choice of summer memory because the Lord spared her (a broken back that's making her life difficult to say the least, but she will recover), her husband and 3yr old. HE decided it was NOT her time and I've never loved HIM or my sister more. I cherish every second I have with her even more than I did before, although we've always been close. Everyday I praise HIM for his GRACE and MERCY and it's been made real that each day is ours to live to our fullest!
OMG! You have the most awesome scrapbooking goodies!
I enjoyed being in Burley and participating in the Spudman (like your husband and father-in-law). My 60-year old mom was on my team as our swimmer, our friend rode the bike and I ran in the 10K (only my second race EVER in my life!) What a great race to test my will and determination. Plus the cute kids clapping and smiling for their mom have to be the highlight.
Kimmi
whoa! quite the goodie bag (and comments already left!) love the pottery barn link too ;)
my fave moment of summer so far... hmmmm i think that had to be finally getting settled into the new apartment and enjoying our porch!
My favourite memory - My 8 month old daughter just started saying "mama" and it melts my heart.
fave memory of the summer...watching my boys play ALL DAY in the waves of the Pacific. They couldn't get enough! :) kristen in nor cal
One of my favorite memories so far from this summer was being able to travel to Kansas to be a part of my sister's wedding. It was so great to see her marry the love of her life and to have my whole family there was just icing on the cake!!! What a feeling to see my sister and her new husband so happy!!
P.S. i love to listen to your music!!!
Picking strawberries for the first time with my kids. Them stopping after about 5 mins. to complain their backs hurt and me having to finish filling the 2 baskets!

We had so much fun at six flags this summer. My boys loved the new Thomas the Train ride. The had so much fun riding the train & seeing Thomas.

we took our 17 mth old to the beach. Seeing the delight and sheer joy on his face as he ran through the waves was by far my favorite memory.
My daughter is on the verge of becoming a teenager. Much to my dismay, she often pulls away from my little signs of affection when we're in public. I realize this is totally normal, but it still saddens me.
In June, she left home for a 20 day trip to Italy and Greece. We had prepared for the trip for many, many months before, but it was still hard to let her go. My little girl is getting older and doesn't need me as much anymore. I expected her to be even more independent when she returned home.
At the airport, I waited with anticipation as her plane landed. Had she changed? Would I even recognize her? I searched the crowd, hoping to get a glance of my eldest daughter. As she came down the escalator, she caught sight of me and we smiled. Would it be awkward reuniting in the crowd?
It wasn't. She walked toward me with tears welling in her eyes. She began to cry in earnest as she reached out and held me tight. My baby was home.
my favorite summer memory....is going out every night with my children to look at the stars. every night hoping to see a falling star. and many a times we lucked up and did! and on those nights when we did...watching them all close their eyes tight to make a wish. then hearing them all tell each other not to tell what they wished for so it will come true! i have seven children...so imagine us all out there every night. joy! summer joy. and i'll never forget sitting out under the stars with them this summer night after night.
So, this isn't really related to summer but it happened this summer - my daughter said "I wuv you, mommy" for the first time just a week ago! Talk about melting my heart...
I know it's over, and I probably can't enter anyway since I'm international, but I wanted to leave my favorite summer memory thus far. It happened just last Friday.
I have worked with a sweet special needs child for the past three summers. She's 7 now, and for her, summers are all about fun. So, we go on day trips to the zoo, science center, Heritage Park, etc. We also do great crafts (she LOVES crafts!). On our last day, she decided we should visit the lake. So we packed up our stuff (she helped me put sunscreen on my back - very cute) and headed off. As we walked toward the beach to pick our spot, she says, "You know what?"
"What?"
"I love you Kaly."
"Aww! I love you too, J!"
"You take me all sorts of places..... and you bring me snacks..."
Well, if that's all it takes to make her happy, then that's what I do!
Loved it!

when the grandparents took the boys for the weekend and it was just me and my hubbs!
I don't usually comment on people's blogs I read when I don't know them personally...always seems kind of weird to me...but in this case I felt I had something to say. My favorite summer memory occurred today when a friend of mine said she couldn't wait for school to start. And I thought to myself, "Really? I feel like summer has just barely begun!" Not that we've been doing anything fantastic, but I've really enjoyed the relatively quiet downtime with my three kiddos and the school year is always so busy for us. I don't know...I'm just not ready for school to start yet and I think that's a testament to a great summer!
I'd have to say Girls Camp at Heber Valley. Amazing counselors, amazing girls, amazing time.
Im still searching for the KI bloom line. Wish moe place would have carried it.
My favorite time of the summer... hum I have so many... but I think it would be finally meeting my boyfriends older sister (we have been together 9 years have a daughter and I had never met her...she lives up north...I know no excuse) But we met and bonded instantly...we have talked everyday since that great week.
That would be my favorite summer moment.
My favourite memory so far this summer has got to be the family holiday that we took to Banff, Canada. We live 2 provinces away, and our kids had never seen the mountains. Wow, the looks on their faces have made this summer incredible to me!!! Yeah for family time!!!

My favorite memory this summer has got to be having a talk with my mom about college and what career I want to pursue. Having my mom's support with what I do in the future makes me feel so loved <333
