Purchasing Error

You know you really truly love the look of something when you find you have inadvertently bought it three times!! As I was organizing my scraproom the other day, I came to realize I had purchased three sets of Crate Paper's Portrait border sticker sheets. Oops! They are lovely though, aren't they?!?



No harm done. This way, I didn't feel guilty using half a sheet of the borders on just one layout!! I also didn't hesitate to use them on a layout that I wasn't so sure they would look right on --- so glad I tried them b/c I think they look fabulous on this baseball layout. It is certainly a far cry from the "wedding themed" line they came from!



I swear, seeing DD all decked out in this catcher's gear is worth the price of admission!!! Oh yeah, it's free but still.....SO CUTE!!!

Supplies: Crate Paper Portrait stickers, Crate Paper pp, October Afternoon chipboard stickers and border sticker, Basic Grey alpha stickers, Maya Road stars, Studio Calico mist in Classic Calico & White, Jenni Bowlin pennant sticker, and Jillibean Soup frame.

Weekend

Happenings this weekend:

Baseball: DS's team clinched first place for the season with a big win Thursday night. So, with a meaningless game Saturday, coach opted to switch it all up and play everyone in different positions. DS hasn't been able to pitch this year since he is now one of the youngest kids having moved up a division this year....so coach let him pitch an inning. He was very excited and did well! Even with the fielding switch-ups, DS's team still won the game!! They get a bye for the first round of the playoffs but will play in the semi-final game next Saturday.

Baseball Part Deux: DD also had a baseball game this weekend. She is such a superstar! All of the coaches rave about her...partially because she is quite a player but mostly b/c she is so darn cute out there! While I shouldn't be proud of this, it does make me smile...she spends her time in the field spitting and when base running, she feels the need to slide EVERY SINGLE TIME. She just loves the dirt!

Soccer: DD had her last soccer game(s) of the season. She managed to score a goal and was so proud to receive this:



I am very proud of her but also, SO glad at least one sports season is finally over!

Misc: The rest of the weekend was spent like this --


Scrapbooking:

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!
