Good Morning! We had a super full weekend over here - again - and I'll have a weekend wrap report coming up tomorrow, but for now - it's blog hop day again. This month we played with Fun in the Sun by Ali Edwards - the set for June.
For this layout, I pulled out some pictures from about this time last year. Especially fun since some of those same cousins are in town again this week. In fact, one of them is upstairs giggling with Wendy as I type this. Fun times. Summer often means cousins in this house.
For the We heart sunshine stamp - I stamped on white cardstock and colored the image in with my markers. I masked the image to outline with the sunshine rays. The summer day stamp I stamped on patterned paper and cut out.
To mark the names of the girl cousins - I just used letter stickers to mark the first letter of their names - that should be all we/I need to trigger the right name years down the road. ;)
Thanks for stopping by!
Be sure to check out the rest of the hop for inspiration and chances to win!

eta: My apologies for the word verification. I normally remove it for hops, but this morning when I did so, I got hit with a dozen computer generated spam messages instantly. Usually it takes a few days for them to find me. darn spam.
Great summer layout. Love the sun behind the banner.
