Time fly's

I can't believe how fast the summer is flying by! We have had a pretty laid back Summer, and it's been so nice! We have had lots of fun swimming in the pool lately...

 

We have had some squirt gun fights...

 

And just enjoying being outdoors...

 

 

 

These pictures were taken in the evening because it has been too hot to play outside during the day!

     I hope you all are enjoying your Summer!!! Thanks for stopping by! 

Christmas in July!!!

     Ha ha! I know it is just a little very early for a Christmas post, but I don't scrap in order, and I am REALLY bad about scrapping holidays! I like too scrap the 'everyday' moments the most. I was pretty proud of myself though, because I recently made a Christmas layout! Yay! So, here it is...

I guess it's not an overly Christmasy (Is that even a word?) layout! Hee-hee!

The picture is of my oldest and youngest daughters! I love those sweet faces:) All of the paper is DCWV except for the 'note' paper tucked under the photo. I believe that came from KandCompany. Thanks for stopping by! Please leave me a comment and tell me what you think!

I LOVE woodgrain paper!!!

    Hello there! I'm back with another layout to share! Woodgrain  has been a major trend in scrapbooking for a little while now, and I must say, I did not love it at first! I  didn't know what to do with such masculine looking paper (having 3 girls and all). Then I started seeing some beautiful layouts made by some very talented scrappers! Their scrapbook pages looked feminine and  soft:) Needless to say, I have jumped on the woodgrain band wagon! Ha! Here is one of my layouts using woodgrain paper as a background.

Used all DCWV papers with this layout along with some fancy pants chipboard letters and some random embellishments from my stash! I'm linking this page up to the pink elephant challenge blog! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Sunday!!!

Hello again! Just a quick post today! I hope everyone is having a good weekend! We have been getting some things done around the house! We also enjoyed a fun morning at church, but we are all pretty tired now:)
     Here is a quick layout I completed recently!

These pictures are from a couple years ago, and I'm just now getting them scrapped! Well, I am a SLOW scrapper, and I don't go in order either! That's ok though! At least I have some of my memories documented! 

     I used some more MME papers that I distressed a bit for texture. I cut out circles and the title with my Cricut, and added some buttons from my stash! TFL and happy Sunday!!!

Happy 4th of July!

     Okay, okay, I know it's July 6th, but better late than never right? Ha! We had a fun 4th! We spent the day with family and enjoyed some yummy BBQ, lawn games, swimming , and of course, Fireworks!!!
     Now on to scrappy things! I have been trying to challenge myself with my scrapbooking. One of the things I have been wanting to do more of is two page layouts! I usually am a 12x12 scrapper, but I think two pagers are great for those times when you have a lot of pictures you want to scrap of one event or day. I had a lot of pictures of a day we spent at Pismo beach, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to stretch my creativity and do a two page layout!

          I love those pictures! We had such a fun day playing in the sand and waves! The papers I used are mostly from the My Minds Eye Sweetest thing collection. The green/blue paper and the paper used for the butterfly's is DCWV. The cardstock is Colorbok. I inked the edges and embossed the die cut sun with my cuttlebug! The butterfly's are from my new Martha Stewart punch that I LOVE!!! The flourish, title and sun were all cut with my Cricut expression!
       I have been getting to scrap a lot lately so I have many more layouts to share! I will be back soon:) Thanks for stopping by!
