you & me

Once again its CROP TIME at Scrap Book Generations and plenty of great challenges to spark your creativeness! I call this one my "warm-up challenge" because it gives me a chance to just lay down my papers and photo(s) without rules.

CHALLENGE:

                                 

 INTERPRETATION:

I'm using an older kit FOTM kit from The Scraproom - Basic Grey Hopscotch. We were just messin' around one afternoon and this captures our silliness perfectly!

I'll be back with more this next week, stay tuned!

The Scrappin' Itch!

With summer comes so many different activities & starting a garden this year, BUSY!! It has been very productive and I'm becoming overrun with peas, green beans, tomatoes, and squash, but saving by not going to the produce market. NICE!

With everything going on, its been a few weeks since I've been able to sit down and create, so today I'm making time, and boy did it feel good! Here are the photos taken on Mother's Day in May. Our granddaughters made homemade crepes and they were delicious!

I used My Mind's Eye "Miss Caroline" from The Scraproom's FOTM kit of May 2012:

Time to get back to work, thanks for stopping by!

Time for a TSR challenge or two!

I have recently re-subbed to The ScrapRoom (TSR) and need to make a dent in this stack of photos that keeps getting larger & larger by the month! I've decided to devote time every few days to creating layouts, starting with some of the more recent photos.

Before I dove into our Disney vacation we took in February, I had better finish up the school & sports photos for the two girls.  Here is TSR's first challenge of the month ... Taste of Color Challenge. Since I had to catch up, this one was pretty quick and easy to put together. Using October Afternoon Schoolhouse collection, I scrapped our youngest granddaughter's first day of school photos.

The ScrapRoom Blog has posted the July Jumpstart Challenge and I loved the simplicity of the sketch they provided ..... Jump ahead nine months and that same granddaughter  has just finished kindergarten! The teachers had a little "graduation ceremony" for them, complete with hand made graduation caps and cookies! As you can see, she was pretty excited about having her Daddy with her and showing off her diploma. :)

Now I just need to get those sports photos printed and layouts assembled before she graduates high school! so, enough chatter, time for the next layout!

Happy 4th of July!

Today we celebrate this country's independence with all sorts of different activities. Whether it be boating on the lake, BBQing with family & friends, hanging out at the pool, block parties, fireworks in the evening, etc., just please play safe! In the next few days I'll be sharing our weekend in photos, but until then .....

Godspeed
