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.
