Summertime Croppin' & A Little RAK

Hey yall!! How are you today? Good I hope!!! Before I do anything today, I wanted to tell all of you how much I appreciate all of you coming by my blog! It means the world to me! Well, the other day, I hit 100 followers on my blog! I was just so amazed! When I started blogging, I never imagined how many kind people I would meet!!! I am just so appreciative! So, for all of you, I wanted to host a RAK (random act of kindness). So if you will comment on this post, I will put your name into a random drawing for a scrappy package from me filled with all sorts of goodies. I will leave this RAK open until the end of the month!! Also, when I announce the winner, I will post a picture of all the goodies!!!! I will announce the winner on the 1st! So check back to see if it is you!!! Thanks yall!!!!!

I wanted to share with you the layouts I did finish up during the crop. I did not get much at all done. My hand/wrist has been bothering me for 3 days now. The past two days, I can't open it all the way or close it. So scrapping has been pretty much out of the question. What scrappin I did do, Brandon had to help me toward the end. I couldn't even push down the trimmer blade and slide it. I had to hold the paper and Brandon did the trimming. It was pitiful I tell ya! So anywho, I've been resting my hand as much as I can these past few days. I haven't even been on the computer much. I miss all the scrappy boards and stuff. So I hope I will be ready to go again soon!! Here are the two layouts that I did finish up.

"Natural Beauty"
This layout is of my good friend, Tara's, little girl Olivia. She is just such a little cutie!!! I used Home Accents for the petals. I also added some stitching, ribbon, a flower, a button, and a few other embellishments.

"Ode To Yellowbox"
This layout is called "Ode To Yellowbox." This one is for Laura Jean's Challenge on TS. We were to scrap something we love about summer, but it couldn't be people. I knew I had to scrap my Yellowbox shoes. I used Plantin' Schoolbook for the circles and Home Accents for the flourish. The sun, which I added the exploding technique to, was cut from Doodlecharms. I also added in some stitching and ribbon. Here is this one:
