Swap time!

Here's my layouts for a 12x12 2 page layout swap I'm doing over at TSR. I designed the sketch myself and feel pretty good about the outcome. Hope the group is too. I used mostly what I had purchased from the kit club just in case the girls wanted to add a bit more to them.

They will hold four 4x6 prints hortizontal in the center and the circle in the upper left could be used for another photo, an embellishment, some journaling or the title.



We are in the midst of forming a private little group who will be swapping assorted layouts with each other. I'm excited to get this little venture underway with the help of my good cyber pal, Angela from Arkanas. As soon as its ready to go, I'll be sure to share the news here.

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! Godspeed......

Hello!

Today has been a relaxing, happy scrap day! Yesterday, I did some cleaning of my supplies and came across those decorative scissors of years gone by and found me a lost scallop edged pair! I blew off the dust and put them to work!

I managed to get one of Makayla finished yesterday in between her naps and just wanting to play with her legos. This is for a challenge using naked chipboard. I used it in the layering of the larger flower in the bottom left corner:


A few weeks ago I took this one of my lilacs and just love the photo. I don't ever remember scrapping this particular flower of mind, so this afternoon I got it down on paper and in the book! I managed to make it fit for a challenge that wanted us to use 5 different pattern papers in a single layout. Here she is:


Hope everyone has a safe and relaxing holiday. Godspeed.....

It was HOT! HOT! HOT! today

WOW! When that thermometer hit 96 we thought for sure it was a mistake! It sure was a welcome relief to get some sunshine for a change. Problem is, at one point it was so warm, Makayla wanted out of the pool and into the air conditioning. Yep, we watched cartoons until it cooled off! Oh, well.....

I was also able to get some pages scrapped today and it felt good. =) It's so nice to get in that scrap therapy at least once a week! This first one is from a few months ago. Makayla loves it when her and Papa get to play this little bedtime ritual before tucking her in for the night:


In this second layout, we went to the wetlands area just down from the house and visited the wild mallard ducks that call the ponds home. Makayla thought it was time to break up some bread and go feed them. While there, one female in particular kept following her and would eat right out of her hand. Makayla thought she needed a name, hence, "my buddy":


Have a great weekend! Godspeed.....
