More Cruising

Good Morning everyone!  If you are looking for the blog hop, please scroll down to here.  There is still time to play for your chance to win some great prizes.

If you have been playing along with the blog hop, I know you have seen how amazing the April kit from the Sampler is.  The colors and embellishments are gorgeous.   Today I wanted to share with you another layout I made of our day in Ketchikan, Alaska.

The colors and textures in this kit are amazing.  I love the mix of burlap, twine and ribbon.  The Prima resins are so fun.  And would you like to know what else is amazing?  How about the May kit, Two Scoops!

Don't forget, there is still time to enter the sketch and card challenges here on the blog.

I hope you are having a great day.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cruising with The Sampler

Hi everyone!   I hope you are having a great day!  I can't believe how fast time is flying these days.  School is almost over and I am planning our summer vacation.  What?  I haven't even come close to scrapping all of last years summer vacation.  lol  Like that will ever happen.

Anyway.....Today I wanted to share with you a layout I did using the April kit from The Sampler.  I know, I keep going on about how much I love this kit, and I do.  It has been so versatile.  A Book of Me page, pictures of Ainsley and Lili playing in the yard, and today....

The view of Ketchikan, Alaska from aboard the Disney Wonder.  It was quite an overcast day, but the town was beautiful none the less.  And these papers from the April Sampler kit worked just perfectly.  Lots of different textures and soft colors.....sigh.  And you know how much I love the resins and trinkets.

This Friday The Sampler is hosting a blog hop...a little sampler of The Sampler.  So be sure to check in here.  I will have a great prize to give away (as will all the designer's on the hop).  So, be sure to check us out at our new blog.

Well, back to work...

Hugs.

It's Friday, Friday....

Hooray, it is almost the weekend...and thank goodness.  The mad dash...the last few days before we have family coming in from out of town.  I have so many half completed projects that need to be done before everyone arrives.  And although I am home every day, and you would think that would give me plenty of time to get things done....schooling the children just gets in the way.  hee hee....You think making Christmas Cards can count for math?

Well, I wanted to share this layout I have had sitting on my table for a while.  It is one from our time in Alaska.  Skagway was simply beautiful, but the day we were there it was cold...and drizzly.  Thank goodness the excursion we had booked came with wet weather gear.  Since we would be canoeing out to the glacier they plan on people being wet.  So extra layers were provided.  Of course, once we were all bundled up, we looked a bit puffy.

Basic Grey everything.  hee hee

The kids had a great time.  We were able to pluck icebergs (baby ones) out of the lake for the children to suck on. The extra layers made for some interesting body shots...and so many seals.

OK, guess I should do something constructive.

Hugs.

I Have a Secret

I don't like to tell when I am going to be out of town.  Even though I have a house sitter...someone who lives in my house while I am gone...I don't like to tell.  So, I set up my blogs to post ahead of time, and not mention a thing on Facebook, and then I go.  This time, I was gone for almost 2 weeks!  I bet you didn't even notice.  hee hee

Where did I go?  Seattle, Vancouver, and then a week long cruise to Alaska.  

I just finished unpacking and downloading all my photos.  And of course, school had to start, so I have begun that.  No time to edit photos yet, but here are a few straight out of the camera.

My little darlings, not so little anymore.

South Sawyer Glacier in the Tracy Arm Fjord.  We were about 700 yards from it.  Amazing!

Well, I have almost 1000 photos to scrap so I guess I should get busy.  hee hee  Be back soon with some scrapiness, hopefully.

Hugs.
