Welcome to the DCWV and Therm O Web Summer Lovin’ Blog hop.
Today, the design teams from DCWV and Therm O Web have brought together all the things we love about summer! We’ve combined paper from DCWV’s Sunday Afternoon and Everlasting Love stacks together with a variety of adhesives, mists and other fantastic products from Therm O Web!
If you came here from Erin at the DCWV blog then you’re on track! If not, head there first. You don’t want to miss a thing!
In my house with two fourteen year olds and a husband who teaches Middle School there is always a countdown to Summer Vacation.
It generally begins the first day of school. And no, I’m not kidding.
So, I thought I would play off of their countdown and borrow lyrics from the two who have perfected what to do on a Summer Day. . .Phineas and Ferb.
My layout~
The colors and patterns in DCWV’s Sunday Afternoon stack remind me of sunny days spent by the pool with it’s yellows and blues.
I also wanted to mimic the polka dots in both girls’ bathing suits, so I grabbed that polka dot paper from the Everlasting Love stack.
Isn’t that the wonderful thing about DCWV? You can mix and match them all.
I knew I wanted the 104 in my title to be an attention grabber.
So, I decided it was the perfect time to use all those sequins that have become so popular and keep jumping in my shopping cart.
However, I didn’t know how best to adhere them.
The Therm O Web iCraft Adhesive sheets were perfect for this.
I simply placed the sheet on my Cricut mat and made my cut.
My 104 Cut~
I then peeled off the bottom protective portion, placed it on my 104 paper image, peeled the top protective layer off and began applying my sequins.
By using the Therm O Web 3D Foam Squares I was able to lift the 104 from it’s shadow layer to draw even more attention to it.
A close up~
And of course, I couldn’t leave out the tag line from the show.
I used the Mini Sticky Tape Runner to adhere the individual sequins.
Now I’m sure there will be a big discussion amongst the three regarding the accuracy of 104 days of summer vacation, but that should keep them busy for a little while. Right?

I share a classroom with another teacher where we offer reading and math support to struggling kiddos and even though I love my job I must admit we have a count down up on our white board. It is just numbers but we know what those numbers mean. tee hee hee. For me it’s 24 days till crafting time. lol
