Rainy Sunday

As luck has it, we have a light schedule today.  They boys are off at the Flyers game and the girls have a youth group event mid afternoon.  It is always nice on a cool rainy day to be able to spend time relaxing...reading, scrapping, organizing.  I even splurged this week and ordered my groceries and am scheduled to pick them up after dropping the girls --- another hour that I won't waste running around!

I am an avid reader -- my older two kids, not so much; but S, she LOVES to read.  Ah, be still my heart!! Even this morning, the older two are goofing around downstairs.  When I called to her to find out what she was doing.. "reading" was the response.  I love that girl!  :)

This layout is a bit more colorful that I am used to but I couldn't resist getting some of Amy Tangerine's sketchbook line.  My favorite is actually those fluorescent photo corners...they totally remind me of my childhood and leg warmers!  :)

Beautiful Inside and Out

I apologize for the blank post earlier....it appears when blogger updated their system, I lost the content to my scheduled post.  So, here we are again to share the goods.  I created this layout last weekend --- I am really into the weathered woodgrain papers these days.  I even have another layout in the works on my desk using the latest Crate Paper woodgrain.  Clearly, I am a fan.

For this layout, I used some awesome new Pink Paislee tags for the Indigo Bleu line.  Aren't they fabulous?  They come pre-printed with the stamped image and tape embellishment.  And then once again, since I was going good grain, I just had to throw in some natural twine.

The title stickers were actually much darker on my original version but they got lost on the grey backdrop so I took them off one by one and spritzed them with a little white mist.  I like that it makes them stand out a bit now but they are still secondary to the pictures and other embellies.

The Winner Is.....

A Week Already?

It's been a week already since I was away at the beach with the kiddos?! Oh, how I miss it already!! We are less than an hour from the beach here but so rarely get down there with baseball and other activities. It is a shame really. The kids love jumping the waves and boogie boarding. But I will tell you, the Jersey shore can't even begin to compare to the Gulf coast beaches of Florida!! The white sand, clear blue water, and seashells galore ... now that is what I call a beach!

I don't have too many pixs of me and the kids so I jumped at the chance to capture some shots with them last week! Thanks mom for offering to play the photog!



You might be able to tell but I machine sticked around all of the outer circles on this one. It looked for of naked without it. Can you tell how into circles I am these days? I was originally hoping to do a couple of different photos on this page but I finally settled on just the one.
