Camping fun!

This past weekend we headed to our favorite camping KOA in Monroe. Each year we go to enjoy the Halloween fun and to inhale the smell of campfires...ahhh! Well, of course just like last year, some one got sick from all the fresh air...lol Actually it was two of us -- Marisa and I. Marisa got the cold and I got a sore throat that I'm afraid might be strep, but not 100% sure so I'm going to get it checked out tomorrow. I'm going to share some photos of our spooky weekend. It just comes and goes so fast, so thank goodness for pictures or I might not remember it!

Our tent...as I told my SIL, she cast us out of the village...lol


Gabby and Marisa decorating their pumpkins.

Collin loved riding this rental bike as he still hasn't mastered riding a two-wheeler yet :(

These were some of the pumpkins decorated for the contest.


Okay...I never laughed harder when I saw my brother dressed up in his costume. Total Austin Powers! Groovy, baby!

And here are most of us dressed up in our costumes. This is the first year I dressed up...lol

I just loved Marisa's costume!

A picture of the beautiful scenery!


I'm definitely going to be printing up these pictures and scrapping them soon!

BPM September Kits

This month I got the pleasure of creating the member layouts derived from sketches I design each month. While I can't show you all the layouts here, I can give you a bit of a peek from a few of them!




Make sure to check out this month's kits and get yourself one -- they are AWESOME!
Also be sure to pop in the DT gallery to see all the inspiring layouts created by my fellow DT members :D

A couple to share

I've been working on layouts here and there. It sure does take me forever to finish one anymore. When the kiddos get back in school next week, I'm hoping I get more time. We'll see as all the homework and after-school activities will be back..eek!

Both of these layouts were created with Creative Scrappers sketches. I just love their sketches to help me jump start layouts.
On this layout, I actually created that cute bingo card via PSE 5.0


And this one is of Marisa and her little cousin on their first visit with one another. She just adores Gavin!


That's it for now. I'm anxiously awaiting both of September's BPM kits which are utterly gorgeous! I get the honor of doing the member layouts for the month, so I get to work with both..woo hoo!
