Lily pad

A real quick layout using my Studio Calico March kit Office Hours and this layout by Janel Paris for inspiration.

Ahh the lily pad.  The kids love it!  Thanks Tom and Tonya for keeping the kids entertained when we cove out at the lake!  I have even seen a few adults try to run across it...quite entertaining.  The adults slowly melt into it and hardly make it to the end.  The kids just breeze right over and it makes a great jumping off platform too. Now if Allison could get up there all by herself life would be even better!

Garden Girls

Ahh its almost garden time....the seedlings have been planted and are growing surprisingly well!  The girls absolutely love to help David in the garden.  In these photos they were helping harvest carrots.

I used my Studio Calico February kit Sugar Rush and the one page sketch in Scrapbook Generations March issue of Create Magazine.

Happy

How can you not look at this picture and just be happy. Those girls sure were!  I used my Studio Calico February kit Sugar Rush and this great layout by Deb Duty for inspiration.  This picture has me longing for warm days so we can get outside and play.  Yesterday and today have been in the 60s and we spent ever second outside after school/work yesterday!

More Layouts



I've been scrapbooking every night this week!  This group of papers I picked up from my local store on Saturday because I knew what pictures I wanted to use it with.  I got started on it right away, again I love when that happens!  This one feels a little unfinished but I am calling it good for now and may go back and add to it later.

The other layout I did last night used my January Studio Calico kit Copper Mountain.  This one lets me move onto my February kit!  I just hope I can be like Dave's Uncle Scott and ski on my 60th Birthday.  Amazing!

Jamie

I was at my local scrapbook store this weekend for a super savers class and had to do some shopping.  I saw this great line Homemade with Love by Carta Bella and knew immediately what picture I wanted to use.  I love when that happens.  This layout pretty much did itself over the past two nights.

Jamie (my mother in law) loved loved loved to cook.  Some of my favorite memories of her revolve around food.  The kitchen was always the room to be in when Jamie was around.  She also got great joy out of cooking for others, I think it was her most favorite part.  She loved a party when all the guests would clean up all the food, she loved to have guest at her house so she could cook a big breakfast, she volunteered her time and kitchen for her church luncheons and so much more.  Basically she was always cooking!
