VBS Page 2

Hello my scrappy friends!  I was able to create a LO this afternoon, page two of my VBS spread. This was our first VBS and we are still participating in them every year since, just at a different church, and now my kids are counselors along with me!  This spread is for my son, I've included pictures of both kids but Declan is featured on two of them a bit more.  I've included the bible verses that they memorized during the week.  These pics tell me that they did indeed  memorize them...the reward was the t-shirt everyone is wearing!!
I added the palm tree and pirate.....Moses was leading God's people through the desert, were there palm trees and pirates?  Perhaps not, but the sand and the "in your face" attitude of pirates led me to what perhaps the Israelites and Moses were feeling.  In your face Pharaoh, we're outta here!!  LOL

I'm entering my LO into the following challenges:



Sketch-N-Scrap #182 sketch challenge - I love a multi-photo sketch!



Use Your Stuff #371 - mood board - I love the variety of colors so used that forum for my LO.


Lasting Memories #460 - Palms - I cut out some palms from an Echo Park kit



Thanks for stopping by and commenting - Both of these challenges are open now for you to enter!

VBS 2010

Hello my scrappy friends!  

Here is a quick layout I created using the Stick It Down single page sketch and the theme of summer activity from Use Your Stuff.   Both were perfect for my pictures and some inking in the background!  
This Vacation Bible School was our very first one, the kids participated in bible lessons and some of the moms were active in their own bible study!  It was a wonderful week for both me and the kids!

You still have time to enter the Stick It Down challenge, ends 8/31.  Use Your stuff challenge ends tonight, 8/17, so technically, you can still participate!!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!!

Sweet Summer Days

Hello my scrappy friends!  Here are some more pics of my kids at the lake!  We've got lots since it's what we do most summers.  This year no so much since all they want to do is sleep!  Teenagers!!

I was able to use so many scraps..it's a wonderful feeling, isn't it, to use what we have??  I'll be entering my LO into these challenges:


Lasting Memories #458 - Flowers.  I used flowered pattern paper!


Sketches In Thyme #383.  I used the sketch...it's a great one!!


Bitten By The Bug - It's the Beach Life!  I used my Base Camp Cricut cartridge for the title.  The journaling spot and palm tree are also cut from the Cricut but not sure which carts!


Thanks for stopping by and commenting!!  Enjoy your weekend :)

Best Friends

Hello my scrappy friends!  Happy Sunday, hope it's been a good weekend for you!

Finally finished a layout of my kids playing in the lake by my aunt's house.  I still need to add journaling but I have to find the date of the pictures first!  I though for sure I had the date noted somewhere.

I used the sketch challenge from the beginning of July at Let's Get Sketchy.  It's a great sketch where you can use some scraps...always love that!

Our Tree

Hello my scrappy friends!  Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer, vacations, family time..and not much traffic!!  Since my kids were cleaning their rooms and playing video games, I decided to create a page!!  It's been a while and felt pretty good!

This picture is of our Christmas tree in 2014, hence the title, Our Tree.  Page two comes tomorrow, I hope.  I'm entering this layout into the Sketches In Thyme's July 1st challenge.  I love this sketch even though I didn't use all of the layers.  I thoroughly enjoyed using some mixed media in the background and some pretty old stash!

Take a look at Sketches In Thyme to see the creations of others!  You have till the end of the month to create your layout!!

to the Promised Land

Hello my scrappy friends!  Happy weekend!!

It's taken me to long to create this layout, it just wasn't coming together.  I didn't add as much as I though and it's taken a turn from the sketch I used, but it's completed!  I dipped into several kits and various supplies, using several scraps.

This LO was inspired by this month's Scrap Our Stash Pick Your Side Sketch Challenge.  I've chosen the left side, using polka dot patterned paper scraps and stamped numbers under the photos on the right side.  Five numbers for the five days we attended vacation bible school.

Thanks for visiting and commenting!!  You have another day to complete this challenge!

GOAL! - Sketches In Thyme

Hello my scrappy friends!  Happy Summer!

I made this LO super quick in between food shopping, laundry, and cleaning up the kitchen!  Off to take my son to a end of school year party in just a bit!

Speaking of son, here is a LO of him and dad playing some Air Hockey the day after his 11th birthday party. Years of fun playing on this thing, I think we need to take it back out, hoping it's not too damaged from a small water leak!

Sketches In Thyme sketch #377 inspired this LO, perfect with all of the background circles! I wrote my journaling all around the perimeter of the LO, only added a few things to the LO since the pp is pretty busy.  
You have a few more days to enter this challenge, go for it!
