Happy Friday

Hey bloggers!  Sorry I was missing yesterday, tons going on around here and just never found the time to sit down and share.

Another busy weekend around here.  We are going to paint and redecorate Mackenzie's room and she is swimming 2 events at a meet, trying to get her JO times (junior olympic).  I am playing Bunco tonight, Phil and I have a wine dinner Saturday night, and we have been invited to a wine and cheese party for the swim team.  Throw in the usual housework, laundry, chores...goodness....my head is swimming.

Anywho....I will find some time this weekend to scrap if means no sleep.  hee hee

Before I do tho, how about a fun layout of Phil?  Phil is so funny.  He doesn't like slimy things...like goo, gunk, gel...you know...the kinds of stuff the children love squishing through their fingers.  He can't stand wiggle teeth, or anyone in his personal space.  So...you know the children love to taunt him.   Here is Mackenzie doing so.

Pink Paislee patterned papers and die cuts, Making Memories florals, Prima felt and alphas,  Maya Road trinket pins, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists

I used some super fun "Mistables from Pink Paislee with my Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists.  I added in some of the Daily Junque papers as well as a few older embellishments;  Making Memories florals, Prima Alphas and felt, and a few of those stick pins I warned you about.  hee hee  I just love the look on their faces.

Well, back to work and school.

Hugs.

Too Many Photos....

not enough time.  And seriously, anyway.  I don't know how to print them all unless I have a plan for what I am going to do.  But, I have a friend coming over tomorrow so I went ahead and printed almost 2 dozen photos in what I thought would be good sizes.  Cross your fingers.  Oh, and cross your fingers that I can find paper to go with my pumpkin patch photos.  I know I have got to have something somewhere....should be interesting.  hee hee

While I wait to scrap those, here are a few other pages I have done this last week.

This first one is Ainsley on the observation deck of the Space Needle in Seattle.  OMG...what an adventure that was.  She fussed and kicked and screamed that she didn't want to go.  The whole way up the elevator whining and crying that she was scared.  And of course, I am the worst mom on the planet because I am telling her to be quiet and suck it up.  Of course, once we got to the top she couldn't wait to look over the edge and check everything out.  sigh....

Crate Paper Random line, Prima canvas, AC Thickers, The Twinery baker's twine, Prima flowers

I made this for a challenge over at Scraptastic.  You had to use different shapes and distress your elements.  I inked just about everything here.  hee hee  I have a couple of rectangles, a square and circles.  I used my new Random kit from Crate Paper, which I love and a few smaller Prima flowers.

And these are some photos from sight seeing in the Olympic Village in Vancouver.  We had great fun in Vancouver and I would definitely love to go back some day.

Making Memories Passport line, Prima chipboard, MME rub on, AC ribbon

I finally used up the last of my Making Memories Passport line throwing in a Prima chipboard and a MME rub on.  Simple but done.  hee hee

Well, off to run the children to the pool.  Cross your fingers for me that the mojo is strong tomorrow and I get this stack of photos scrapped (or at least make a dent).

Hugs.

Look at Me Go

I said I was going to try to be a better blogger and I think I have been doing quite well.  hee hee...I think I have posted more in the past week than I did the month of July.  In my defense...July is just crazy around here.

And speaking of crazy....here is part of the reason.  July means cabana champs!  And with the end of the season it means that as president of the team, league rep, and treasurer for the league...I am crazy busy.  Here are a few photos of the children with their cabana coaches at our awards banquet.  We are so blessed every year to have great coaches all of whom swam for the team in their younger days.

Making Memories 5th Avenue Collection, The Twinery baker's twine

In my quest to make room for new goodies I have been working hard to use the old goodies.  For these layouts I used some beautiful papers and embellishments from the 5th Avenue line from Making Memories.  The colors worked great with these outdoor shots.  And I was lucky to have some beautiful sketches to play with from my good friend Heather.  Did you know, if you use one of her designs or templates, you can be featured on her blog?  

Well, thanks for dropping by.

Hugs.
