Awesome Summer Vacation

Good morning, or rather afternoon, my scrappy friends!  This morning has rushed past me doing 100 mph!  The kids and I are going to our "summer vacation home", aka, my aunt's house.  We are supposed to be leaving in one hour, forty minutes.  Both kids still need to pack their clothes for the week, shower, cleanup the lunch dishes and fold the towels...we'll need a few for the lake.  I have to get my clothes into a suit case, run to the library, pack some food and pay bills before we leave.  Here's hoping we get it all completed!  

Anyway, onto my LO!  I found a new blog, new to me at least, called 123 Challenge Blog and this month I love the challenge!  The challenge is to use:

Colour: Brights

Word: Awesome

Technique: Arrows

I'm also submitting my LO into the Scrap Our Stash Challenge for this month, using 5 items from a shopping list.  The list includes several supplies that I can't seem to paste here, so go check out the list by clicking the blog name!  I used 3 of more stars, striped paper, 3 or more buttons, flags, and  die cuts.

Here is my layout:

I cut the arrows using my Cricut Expression, forget which cartridge though!  I also used my Cricut for the title..."awesome" is from Boys will be Boys and "summer vacation" is from All Mixed Up.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy this gorgeous summer day the Good Lord has given us!

Camping In...a few years ago!

Happy weekend my scrappy friends!  I had some time during the week to get this 2 page LO stared and completed it this morning.  I just have to find the date the pictures were taken to add to my little journal stamp!  It was from a few years ago...at least 4!  Wow, time flies!

I used papers from the Pink Lemonade collection kit by Lawn Fawn and EK Success Baby Collection "snakes and snails".  Both collections are a few years old.

This LO is being submitted in the following challenges:
*  Scrapbook.com challenges ~ Cricut; Stamping; Pagemaps #1 and #3 sketches; 4 Categories
*  TurtleSoup forum ~ birthday bash challenge #1 using my birth date for ingredients
*  Soul Scrappers ~ UUS6 challenge, using at least 5 flowers
* Counterfeit Kit Challenge, July #2: Combining Techniques using fussy cutting, misting, stamping and distressing.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!
