The 4th is coming up!

Hello!!!!  I hope you are having a great week!  It will be 4th of July before we know it, so I thought I would post a layout from last year's 4th of July fun!  We usually go to my hubby's parents for a party, and this past year was no exception!  We spent some time on an ATV first!

Paper used:  Scenic Route for pattern paper and white cardstock.  Blue paper and wavy stars and USA and 2001 were from Tami Potter Mosaic Moments.  Stickers were from Hobby Lobby.  Title:  Cupcake Cartridge.

The Mosaic Moments are so fun to and easy to use!  Check out their website tamipotter.com.  I love the block look and the paper has guides on it to show you where to tape the pics down, plus there is a bookmark that I used to tell me what dimensions the photos had to be to fit exactly.

Hope you enjoyed this layout and I hope it gave you some ideas to use for your 4th of July pics!  See ya next week!!!!

S'mores Layout

Hello!  I know I promised to update last week, but I was too busy getting ready for my retreat I went to!  We went to Hobby House Hill in Bowie, TX and I love it!!!!  So relaxing and I got so much done!  I went with some friends from church and my Mom came as well!  Love it when I can crop with my Mom!  I was very productive.  85 pages done and got to Christmas of 2011.  As soon as I finish Christmas, I will be done with 2011 and ready to start 2012!  Yay!

I thought I would share a layout I did of my family reunion from last year.  We had a great time in Colorado and spent our last night together hanging by the campfire eating S'mores.  

I used paper from Scenic Route and Cosmo Cricket for the pattern paper and fun s'more guy.  I mad the S'mores myself using George Cart and brown ink pad around the edges.  The title was made using Cuttin up Cart.  I also used cream, red and beige cardstock.

I plan on adding some pictures from my retreat last week to my post next week!  Hope you stop and and look and thanks for looking today!

Ahhhhhh....Summer!

Okay, so it has been a month.  I am super bad.  But May was super crazy and I am surprised I am still standing!  The summer has arrived and I plan to update each week!  Seriously....each week.  I have it on my to do list for Wednesdays....seriously.

I have a layout to show you that I did back in April.  This was of my nieces at our community pool.  I love how beachy it turned out!

Water patterned paper used for background.  Summer theme paper used for strips.  Both from DCWV Summer stack.  Circle paper bought at Scrapbook Convention.  Flowers and rhinestones from Queen and Company.  Pink and blue cardstock for title and matting.  Holy Cow from Cuttin Up Cart for Title.  Journal title:  Imagine More Cart.

To start my summer off right, I did go to the Scrapbook Convention this year!  I persuaded my Principal to let me out early on Friday and then shopped the day away!  Here is my loot!!!!!

I am so excited about all my new stuff and can not wait to use it up!!!!!!  I even got to meet Stephanie Barnard from Stamps of Life.  It was like meeting a celebrity because I watch her videos all the time!  If you haven't by her site, you need to go there!  I love her stamps!  http://www.stephaniebarnardstamps.com/index.htm

Well, that is all for now.  I need to get busy cleaning and scrapping!  See you next week!  Thanks for looking!
