What would I do....

What would I do without kids? Would it be weird to go to kids movies without kids in tow? Because I just adore Jack Black and the Panda movies are just awesome! I think I liked this one more than the first!! I surprised the kids tonight and took them to a movie after school....I may have loved it more than they did! Needless to say, if they make more of these movies, I will be going with or without kids!!

So on to some scrappiness.....as promised, I have a layout using the 3 Scrappy Boys Trio kit to share! The Fri Sat Sun rub-on wasn't included in the kit but it was perfect to capture how we spend most of our hot weekends in the summer --- running through the sprinklers! These pictures are actually from last weekend when it was like 100 degrees here! As you can see, the sprinklers are more than just to run through...we play wiffleball in them as well!

June 3 Scrappy Boys Kit

Have you checked out the 3 Scrappy Boys kits yet? They went up yesterday....amazing! The main kit is chocked full of Crate Paper Neighborhood papers and chipboard. In addition, there are Studio Calico rub-ons, Maya Rd bead charms and acrylic houses, and some fun tissue paper and ribbon --- good, good stuff! With all of these goodies, it didn't take me too long to whip up some layouts.



It is hard to believe the photo in the above layout is 3 years old! Look at how cute those kids are .... I really am so blessed! As the little bird tweets, we are certainly living on 123 Joy Street!



The kids seem to be very into 'collecting' worms these days. They dig them up, put them in a bowl, and then a few hours later, release them all back into the wild. DD is very funny as she releases hers.....she gives each a name and sends it on its way saying, "bye bye wormie Bert" or "bye bye wormie Sally". It is quite funny!



The littlest one gets dragged to baseball game after baseball game with her two siblings both playing. Good thing she can be easily entertained. Give her a jumprope and she will hop around for hours!

I'll be back in a few with some layouts using the 3 Scrappy Boys Trio kit ---- I just couldn't resist getting that one too! It is just as fabulous if not more so than the Main!

10 days

Has it really been so long since I last posted? Seems time has gotten away from me! It is almost June!! With that will come the end of soccer, followed by the end of spring baseball, and then the end of school...whew, it just doesn't seem possible!!

Of course, as you know, June 1 also mean the release of new kits from ! This months kits are awesome!! I was tasked to work with the Main kit but couldn't resist also getting myself the Trio! Such fun papers and embellishments this month...just wait until you see!!

Here are a couple of sneaks....

Back to Scrapping

I honestly haven't been scrapping too much these past few weeks. We are constantly running from game to practice and from practice to game....baseball, soccer, gymnastics. By the time we are home, there is some last minute homework to be done and baths to be had. Then it is 9:30pm, and I am beat. I have stacks of new supplies --- Crate Paper Neighborhood, October Afternoon 5 & Dime, Collage Press Hometown Summer, Echo Park Summer Days, and countless other goodies. I have hundreds upon hundreds of pictures to choose from as well -- especially since I take my camera to almost everything! Yet, here I am blogging and counting down the minutes until I get crawl into bed, click on the tv, and just relax.

I pu tthese two layouts together a few weeks ago for my 3 Scrappy Boys product highlight. I am totally loving all the versions of woodgrain papers out these days. I must say, the American Crafts version is my favorite. Most of their Campy Trails line 'B' side features a bright playful woodgrain. While the 'A' side is cute, I am not a cutesy kind of girl and we don't camp so I immediately flipped for the 'B' side. Woodgrain in yellow and orange (and blue and green, etc.) -- FABULOUS!!





As you can see, I am also loving the photo booth strip look as well --- funny how I create two different layouts and when I step back, they have so many similarities. No problem, I'll just separate them in the album and no one will be the wiser!
