Crate Paper layout

My friend Cheri and I challenge each other to create layouts with our stash by picking a manufacture and then creating away! We've been a bit slow at these last challenges, but hey...we're using our stuff and best of all...Cheri's scrapping again!! :D :D

Here's my layout of my favorite-little-1 yr.-old nephew, Gavin. He's so full of spunk right now. Speaking of Gavin, I miss him dearly so I need to plan a trip on over to my sister's house...maybe I'll go tonight if I can overcome all these aches and pains in the lower half of my body from painting Marisa's bedroom...signs of age! LOL I'll have to show you the outcome on another post after I've put it all back together -- lovely color in my opinion...lol



Just heard the coffee pot "beep" so I must run and get a cuppa! Have a superb day!

My Mind's Eye Challenge

I was desperate to scrap, but needed to find something to push me to do it. Then I fell upon the My Mind's Eye blog and their challenge and BINGO! This is what I came up with... :^)





I just adore their papers and have amassed quite a bit, so any push to scrap with my stash is always welcomed! Well, I'm off to the beach to celebrate my birthday with the kiddos. It's a beautiful day and I don't want to waste it away. I love the beach and any opportunity to take more photos...woo hoo! Have a blessed day!

July BPM!

Wow...I've been very neglectful to my blog. No excuses though -- just living life and having fun with the kiddos now that summer is here.

The BPM kits for July are flipping fantastic! Check them out:
Solo featuring Bo Bunny Sun Kissed -- love it!


Medley features Cosmo Cricket DeLovely, Bo Bunny Peacock Lane, and October Afternoon Fly A Kite -- great mix!


And what cute stamps to use on those summer pages!


Now on to the pages I created with the Medley kit this month.

Created using a sketch from Creative Scrappers -- love that place for inspiration!
