My Scraps Reveal

Today is my reveal day for My Scraps and More.  This month Tammi sent us a mix of Jillibean Soup goodies.  I had a fun working with the Homemade 6 Bean Soup and Chilled Strawberry Soup lines!  I also found myself raiding my stash of Jillibean corrugated alphas (love those!).

This last layout isn't so green as it appears here.  I guess the lighting wasn't great when I took the picture.  That is actually a piece of cream card stock in the background!  

I just realized there are no layouts that include pixs of my son.  Oops!  

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!
