Rainy Days

I was hoping to head over to the local Arts & Craft festival today but it seems the weather isn't going to cooperate.  I has been raining since last night and doesn't appear to be stopping any time soon.  The plus of that --- a day I can spend in my craft room!

Remember those photos from July 4....I have already been scrapping them!

Don't you just love the bright colors?  I made this entire layout, with the exception of the background MME paper, using only scraps that were sitting atop of my desk.  I love when things just come together like that! Besides, it was that much less that I had to clean!

Happy 4th!

So much fun was had today!!  We spent the day playing in water -- from water balloons to sprinklers to pools!  --- and I had a great time capturing it on film  digitally!!  There is nothing better than spending a day goofing around and hanging with friends!!

Hope you had a wonderful 4th!

MIA

Geez, I had no idea I have been MIA in for so long!   I knew it had been a while but a month already??!  I have been super busy with work and then there are the kids' activities....regular season baseball game to a close last night with a nail biter of a game.  My son's team won the championship after going into extra innings because of a tie game.  Gymnastics is just about to start a much more family friendly summer schedule.  I am hoping that means I can find some more time to relax, read, and catch up on some creating.

Other than my DT projects for My Scraps and More, I don't think I have done much of anything in my craft room!  There were a couple of birthday cards but those were only out of necessity.

Speaking of DT projects though, it is time again for the big DT reveal.  I managed to do a few layouts but these two were my favorites.  Simple but fun to make.

This first one is a layout about our trip down to the shore for Mother's Day -- I scrapped this the day after we took that photo.  We went on a whim and had a fun relaxing time.  Just as mother's day should be!!

This other way, it much more retro than you usually see from me but I really truly love it!  How does she look in my her Jackie O glasses?

I am off to relax and enjoy my first free evening all week!

Enjoy your weekend!

Grid Love

Tammi could not have been more generous with the Design Team for My Scraps and More this month.  We each received a ton of My Mind's Eye Lime Twist papers.  I will tell you, I loved this line from the moment I set eyes on it!  It may not be a brand new release but my love for it hasn't wavered.  It is awesome....I am drawn to the soft color palette combinations of the girly papers.  I am not a purple fan in general and this line does have a few purples, but pair purple with lime and I am in love.  Such a fun combo!!

you can't tell here but that is an old photo of my grandma & grandpa -- i think this is the only photo I have of them with huge happy grins instead of the posed smile!  I adore this photo!!

Can you tell I am loving the grid design .... and cutting with my Cameo?   I used my Cameo on every single creation this month!!

I am not usually a card maker but how could I not make them with this awesome hello bubble paper?  Add in a little Echo Park birdie (cut with Cameo)....just too cute!!

I am off to create some more of these cards...they just make me smile!
