let's rock.

This picture totally cracks me up!  This was last month, the Sunday after we went and saw Iron Man 3 in (3-d, it was our first time for a 3-d movie--FUN!) Anyway, we had our family's glasses plus my parents glasses plus our aunt and Uncle's glasses PLUS he wears glasses--silly kid!  Was a typical low key Sunday at my house!

 I really liked working with the papers and embellishments in the First Avenue kit from Scrapbook Circle--wonderful for girl and boy pages and SO hip!
Thanks for the visit today--hoping your summer is going GREAT!

I LOVE this picture, it was my birthday we were getting my free lunch at one of my FAVORITE places Joe's farm grill.  What makes it my favorite is that I got a fun picture with my BEAUTIFUL children--love these kids even though sometimes they drive me crazy  they also make me laugh and make me very proud to be their mom!

 look at the pop up action of my picture:

I think I have to admit that the American Crafts Lucky Charm line is probably my favorite BECAUSE it is SO diverse--I catch myself grabbing for it A LOT!  Enjoying the summer with my kiddos and NO schedule--yippee!
Thanks SO much for the visit today!

the long jumper.

I wanted to share another layout using the First Avenue (June Kit) from Scrapbook Circle.  I wanted to try my hand at triangles, they seem to be very popular right now and I wanted to challenge myself to see what I could come up with.  I initially started with these triangles down at the lower left hand side of this paper, but it just didn't look right.  I flipped the page and it was just what I was looking for!

 closeups (if you click on them you can see them larger):

 yes, this is my fantastic girl jumping at state.  I was literally sitting on the ground outside the gate with my long lens sticking through.  Thank goodness there was nothing in the way!  I got some fantastic shots--I really like the one where she is landed in the sand and still stretching--yep proud of that girl I am!  And glad that I could scrap that moment in time for her! :)
Thanks SO much for the visit today--hoping your day is wonderful!

I'm home.

today the June sketch went up on the Scrapbook Circle blog-easy and FUN!  Of course I HAD to play!  here is my take on the sketch:

 Little closeup of the EXCLUSIVE flair button and rubon:

These pictures were fun--I thought I would take pictures of my boy coming home from school.  this is the way Ella dog sees the kids coming home and she gets SO excited!!  Scrapping an everyday moment was REALLY fun!  I used the First Avenue kit from Scrapbook Circle to complete this layout.
Life has been full of camps, soccer, scout, and girl's camp--FUN stuff!!  Busy is fun in the summer--thanks SO much for the visit today I REALLY appreciate it! :)

hello friend.

 couple of fun closeups:

 I used May's Scrapbook Circle kit My Favorite--the colors are wonderful and I loved working with the fun embellishments.  Incidentally these were taken at my niece's birthday party--the kids LOVED the marshmallow war--it was hilarious I got hit in the eye--thank goodness I blinked at the last minute!  GOOD times--hope you are enjoying the summer--we are NO schedule!  Thanks for stopping by!!

Sweetness.

This layout is featured on the Scrapbook Circle blog today.  It's featured because I participated in challenge #53 which is to mix patterns on a layout.  I had SO much fun sifting through Pinterest inspiration to find something that spoke to me.  Here is the inspiration:

When I decided to do the circles I had to scour the house for round items, my desk looked hilarious with bowls cups, lids and assorted circle items.  I traced them and then sewed around the circle--it was a little tricky but eventually got it right!

 closeups of my lovely stitching:

 title closeup:

 to cut the circles I used my silhouette and then sorted the extra pieces into patterns that didn't have the same design...almost had my 10 year old come and help me.  He is a FANTASTIC sorter!  It all turned out the way I imagined and it was FUN!

Thanks SO much for the visit I appreciate it!
