Hanging out by the pool, trips to the beach, cookouts with friends, spending quality time with family, rest and relaxation - these are just a few of the fun things on my to-do list for this summer. I'm sure I won't get to everything on my list, but I hope to accomplish as much as I can. I am also giving myself a challenge for the summer: take a camera everywhere I go so I can capture as many summer memories as I can. I have plans to scrap them all with the help of my trusty Cricut� machine.
This month's issue is filled with great ideas for capturing your summer memories, like Michele Kovack's amazing photo jar. Using her Cricut� machine, she has created a gorgeous home d�cor piece that is a beautiful reminder of special time spent with her family. So very creative, don't you think? You can find other summertime ideas and more in the June issue of Cricut Magazine�, available online now.
Happy creating!
