Arrg!

That is what I said to this Pirate at the Renissance festival yesterday.

We had such a great time and this guy looked like Johnny Depp and after the kids had their picture taken, I jumped right in. :)

Okay, so I realize you are not here to look at my picture with a pirate, but bare with me.
I do have something to share. :)

This is a layout I did recently at a Scrapbook class. I still need to journal but I thought I would share. I really loved all our designer paper in the catalog and i am even more excited with what is to come. I love that Stampin' Up! keeps up with the Scrapbook Trends. Wait until you see the new Simply Scrappin' kits. Oh boy is all I can say. I have one of the kits which is a hostess kit and it is FABULOUS. Textured cardstock that you want to touch all day. Ahhhhhhh!

Okay, for this layout I used the treehouse designer paper. Loved this for boy layouts. It is messy splotches on it just like a little boy would make. I used my coluzzle that I am in love with and cut the circle. I edged around the circle with Choc. ink. I made a photo corner and then mated it to bring out the black and white photo. I love using the twill on scrapbook pages as well. Very fun!

Well, I am hot today. Just turned my air on. It really feels GREAT to me. I love the summer. I put sunscreen on the kids and it reminds me of being at the beach. :)

Oh, we had two birds hatch. The other three eggs didn't and mama bird left them behind. I was so sad. The others are now gone. The whole process was pretty exciting. :)

Have a GREAT day. I will have more to share later.
