Drink Up - Your Memories Here

Hi everyone!  Can you believe it is already the second day of a new year and I am here to post my second project?  hee hee  Today I want to share with you a project I made with the stunning Out of the Blue kit from Your Memories Here.  I just love all the goodies in this kit, the Fairy Belle papers and embellishments are just gorgeous, and the flowers in this kit...yummy!

I paired the beautiful goodies in the kit with a few items from my stash.  Some hand cut fabric banners, a bit of baker's twine from the Twinery, a couple of wooden birds from Maya Road and a few Prima leaves.

The colors in the Out of the Blue kit are just beautiful, so soft and girly.  And with my Prima Distress tool and some Distress Inks, I was able to create a beautiful, shabby chic layout.

Did I mention how much I love the mix of flowers in this kit?  ....oh my.

Be sure and check out this kit, and all the other fun products in the Your Memories Here store.

Hugs.

Something is Wrong

So, the other afternoon, I was sitting at my scrap table, finishing up these two projects.  Such a lovely day.  Ainsley was singing Christmas Carols at the top of her lungs.  So, what was wrong?

Echo Park Apothecary, Pink Paislee alphabet, The Twinery twine.

Thank goodness these Halloween photos are just about done!  At the rate I am moving I should be getting around to my Christmas photos somewhere around July 4th!  lol.  Thanks to Scraptastic for the super fun papers.  Back to work.

Hugs.

Time Flies

You know that old saying....Time flies when you are having fun.  I am not sure how much fun I have been having, but I can't believe I haven't had a chance to sit down and blog in almost a week.  sigh

I do have projects in the works tho!  Lovely things to share.  Let's start with a couple of layouts.....

I have been taking great joys these days in using older supplies.  Here I have more Scenic Route Paper, which I mixed with some brand new Prima leaves, an older Prima flower and a Maya Road rosette.   The layout is simple, but I was happy with it.  You wouldn't believe how much chipboard I have stashed away, just waiting to be used.  Funny the way we forget about these things once they are packed up.  This is based on a sketch from Sketchy Thursdays.

Some photos from Skagway, Alaska.  We saw some beautiful scenery and were extremely grateful for the extra layers that were provided for us on the excursion.

And the Halloween photos just keep coming.....Here is Ainsley and a few friends at a Halloween party just a month or so ago.  The girls all had a great time and their costumes were so fun.  I swear tho....I am never going to finish scrapping Halloween.  hee hee  Lots of fun, older, Imaginesce papers here....with a few of the coordinating embellishments.  And you know I could resist throwing in a bit of Prima, a flower and some bling.  hee hee

I also added in a bit of twine from The Twinery.  I am just loving playing with twine these days.

Well, I have tons of things to do...so for now....

Hugs.

Another Day

Hey bloggers!  It is a lovely Tuesday here and although I am still battling with the children to complete their tasks, I thought I would drop in and share a project I completed for tomorrow's Ideas for Scrapbookers post.

With Thanksgiving rapidly approaching, we decided to have a post of scrappy goodies we are thankful for.  Mine...Scrapbook.com.  Over the years the website has offered me a lot of inspiration, great products, scrappy opportunities (including my spot on IFS); but most of all it has given me the chance to meet many wonderful people and travel throughout the country to meet them.  I count some of the friends I have made on the site some of my best.

Rusty Pickle papers, American Crafts large alphabet, Jenni Bowlin tiny types, Blue Moon florals, Prima bling and button, Websters Pages journaling tag, The Twinery twine, Unknown lace.

I used a sketch from Pencil Lines to complete this layout, and bunches of older products, many from companies that are no longer around.  The paper is from Rusty Pickle and the flowers are from Blue Moon.  I added in an older Prima bling bird as well.  Super fun.

I have another fun project for you tomorrow, so be sure and stop by.

Hugs.

Horray for the Weekend!

Hi everyone!  Hope you are having a great weekend!  Here we are, first day of October, and the weather is already cooperating!  Not only that, but we didn't have a totally booked, over scheduled weekend.  No scouts, no swim....just relaxing, errands, and chores.  Which is better than trying to squeeze in all of that and scouts or swim.  lol  Anyway....we have some friends coming over later this afternoon for fun and dinner, but until then I am trying to squeeze in a few projects.

I wanted to share this layout with you, before I forgot. I did this for Ideas for Scrapbookers designer challenge on twine. I love my baker's twine and have accumulated quite a number of colors...mostly from The Twinery. They have tons of beautiful colors and great "starter" kits.  Ainsley eating a lollipop

Crate Paper Random papers and chipboard, The Twinery twine, Prima flowers, American Crafts Thickers

I used a sketch from The Color Room, but not the required colors...so no entry there.  I think I love the Random Line from Crate Paper.  I feel it going the way my Emma's Shoppe did.  sigh....

Well, if I am going to get this layout finished before our guests arrive....best get busy.

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.
