Warm Wednesday

I don't know about you, but these days my facebook feed is filled with people vacationing at the beach. It makes me just a bit envious, cause I would love nothing more than to hear the ocean and sit and enjoy some relaxation. Unfortunately, I don't think a beach trip is on our agenda this summer. So I decided to look back at some pictures from our trip last year. Not sure if that is helping or hurting... but at least I got a page scrapped. :)

I love the warmth these pictures give me, almost enough to make me feel like I'm sitting there with the sun heating up my face (of course, that may be the sunburn I've gotten from mowing the grass). The kit is Sweet Summer by Marie H Designs and the page was done for the July color challenge at Scrap Takeout.

Enjoy your Wednesday, hopefully you are having cooler weather than we are! 

hello?

Not terribly thrilled to welcome Thursday this week, hopefully yours is better. I have to take the girl to the doctor (which always takes forever) and I have to get my eyes examined. I know, no big deal. But I really hate it. I've lived with bad eyesight for so long that I just make do. I learned early to see things through a blurry lens. I've also learned to compensate for that. I really, really think I'm going to need bifocals too... and that I'm kinda dreading. Maybe I can put it off for a little longer. On the bright side, the boy has a game tonight. So at least there will be some smiles and laughs to the day!

The kids and I watched Mr. Popper's Penguins last night. I know, boring life. What is so great about that? Well, both kids talked and rambled through the whole movie until the moment the credits came on.Know what they did then? They got up, danced and sang (well, just the boy) to Ice, Ice Baby! Yes, my 4 year old can sing most of it. And cause you know you want to hear it now, watch the video. I've even linked it up to make it easy for you. LOL! Good times!!

Now, for the scrapping...
Today is a digital page. The girl loves her phone, I'm sure she'll be asking for a cell phone in exactly 2.5 years. Sigh. But if you will notice, the phone is upside down. Can't win them all I guess...

The kit is butterfly dance from Marie H Designs. I love the colors and they were perfect for this picture.

And because I love you guys so much... here you go :)

Double Digitals - A ScrapBuster Sketch

Today I'm going to share a couple digitals using the Boyz-itude kit from Marie H Designs. Both of these pages are of the boy and I find it kinda funny both are of him eating something.

Here is the sketch for the page. Please feel free to use it and share what you create!!

So on July 4th, he really wanted a sno cone. I figured he wouldn't like it, since he is kinda cranky about really cold stuff. But I decided to get him one anyway. I was right though, he wasn't happy with it. He actually wound up only eating about 1/4 of it, so the girl thoroughly enjoyed the remainder!

The second page used a template from Marie H Designs and one of my favorite fonts, digs my hart.

Double the Digitals!

I hope your holiday was wonderful. We took the kids to a local fire department where they had some fun stuff like bounce houses, train rides, hay rides, race cars and of course a fire truck parade and fireworks. The downside was that the fireworks were delayed for some reason, but finally got underway around 10:30. The kids were exhausted by the time we got home, but lucky me they both went right to sleep.

I skipped blogging yesterday, so today I'm gonna double up today and share two digital pages I created for Marie H Designs.

First is a layout of the boy riding a pony. It is good to know that he can already do things that I can't. My experience with horses is definitely not so nice. Usually they dislike me and try to kick me off. :)

The kit is Letters from Home by Marie H Designs and the template is from FranB Designs (available in the Scrap Takeout forum for the July template challenge).

This next page uses the To Love Him kit, which I am really fascinated with.

I love the colors and embellishments, I'm sure you'll be seeing me use it again in the future! :) It was just released today, so head on over and pick it up. I don't think you'll be disappointed... see...

The end of the week has come so fast, have a great Friday and enjoy your weekend!

Chalk Fun (and fun news)

Lucky me, I was asked to guest design with Marie H Designs for the month of July. What a great opportunity, her kits are fabulous and she has some really cool templates too! Be sure to check her out. And like Marie H Designs on facebook to keep up to date with current information.

Today I'm sharing some older pics of the boy. They worked perfectly with this kit, and he had so much fun playing with the chalk during out trip that year. And he was such a little goof with his fire fighter rain boots on!

The page was done for a challenge over at Tally Scrapper. There is a crop going on over there right now, so I suggest you head over. The crops there are always fun!

The kit is the Chalk Full of Fun kit from Marie H Designs. Love the colors and the embellishments in it are awesome. I can't wait to get some pics of the girls to use with the pinks & purples as well. :)
