Time Flies

I can't believe that June is almost over.  It really is amazing how fast the summer is flying by.  I think the days just rush by faster in the summer.  Is it due to the longer days, the amount of free time to do whatever you want now that school is out?  And why is it the kids want to do so much?  lol

You all know that my children are all swimmers, so a lot of our summer is spent at the pool, at swim meets.  And swim meets mean waiting.  If you have never been to a swim meet, you probably didn't know this....but while the meet may last for 6 hours, each swimmer spends maybe 3 minutes in the pool, tops.  Ainsley spends even less at a cabana meet since her events are short, maybe 20 seconds each.  Yep, that is a lot of waiting.

The SEI Mimosa papers were so summery, they fit these swim photos perfectly. I cut the larger flower shape, large flower and ring using my Cricut.  A bit of Glimmer Mist in Pashmina and Sunshine on the chipboard flowers gave a bit of sparkle.  Finally a few Tear Drops to accent my larger flower and I was done.

It has been tons of fun working with all the lovely products from the Your Memories Here store this month as a guest design team member.  I am sad that my time there is over.  Now I wait to see if maybe, just maybe they pick me for their regular design team.  Guess it is my turn to wait now.  hee hee

Peace and Quiet

It is late at night and I finally have a little peace and quiet here.  The last few days have been a blur, with the swim meet, the overnighter (didn't bother actually sleeping) and Father's Day.

I did a blog today over at Your Memories Here using lots of their yummy products and a sketch from Sassy Lil Sketches.

I have been having a great time blogging for them these past few weeks.  Who knew a guest DT job would be so fun.  If you haven't had a chance, you should definitely check out their store.

Well, today we are off to Great America, a little pre-celebration of Ainsley's birthday.

Hugs.

Guest DT for June

I was so thrilled to be asked to be the June guest designer over at Your Memories Here.   They have a great shop with fabulous prices and many of my favorite products.  If you haven't ever checked them out, you should!

I will be blogging on Tuesdays for the rest of the month there, so you are guaranteed to see some scrappy goodness from me each Tuesday this month.  Gotta love commitment, it forces me to produce.  lol

My first project was this.....Based on a Sketchy Thursdays Sketch.

Yep, that's Ainsley again....being her sassy self.  That photo was too cute not to scrap.  hee hee.  Lots of fun goodies from the YMH store including the papers, Glimmer mist (did I mention they have great prices), the fun little stamp, some Prima roses, and a new fave of mine....tear drops.

I used a few favorite techniques; making my own flowers, this one just a simple circle cut like pie and crumpled with a rose in the middle; using packaging, gotta reduce, reuse, recycle;  lol  and some flourishes and a font cut on the Cricut.  Oh, and can't forget a spritz of Glimmer Mist on the background.

Well, I have a few other scrappy goodies this week, but nothing yet to share.  Busy, busy, busy with swim and settling into our summer routine.  Did I mention I hate mornings.  ugggghhhh

Don't forget to check out the Your Memories Here store and blog.

Hugs.
