3/27 sketch at Citrus Twist

Good morning all!

Today I have another page using the March Main and embellishment kit.  When I saw the sketch I knew I was going to have to make something with it.  The layout is right up my alley.  It also pushed me to use more than one photo.  That doesn't happen very often on my pages.

Head on over to the CTK blog to see the sketch and Aimee's page with it.  Don't forget that there is a prize to be won for using it.

Citrus Twist March pages.

Good morning!
It has been a while since I posted here.  Unfortunately our household got with with a couple of lovely illnesses.  I think we are finally getting back on track.

I did manage to make 3 pages this month so far though.


This first page was for the 3/5 Three to Inspire challenge on the Citrus Twist blog.

These next two were just for fun.

How pretty is this paper?  It is my favorite.

There you have it.  This months kits were just so much fun.

Have a fantabulous day,

yah summer! | gossamer blue blog hop

Good morning and welcome to the Gossamer Blue blog hop!

Today's page is from this summer at the pool.  We were lucky enough to end up in a neighborhood that has a pool right around the corner from our house.  We have spent a lot of time there.  Kaitlyn has learned to swim without her floaties, Kiara is swimming well enough to make it to the end of the pool and back and Kale has made a lot of new friends.  It has been such a blessing.

This page was made using the Main Scrapbook Kit.  
I LOVED this kit.  The bright colors and the summer theme are helping me get through the last bits of our summer.  It is already starting to cool down here and I am trying to drag it out as long as I can.


Thank you for stopping by to have a look at my page today.  I am adding the list of the rest of the teams amazing work.  You won't want to miss any of it!

we were here | kellie stamps

Today's post is brought to you by Kellie Stamps and lots of caffeine.  I am dying to go back to the beach already but for now I am just reliving our trip from a few weeks ago while making some scrap pages.  I can still feel the sun and smell the salt in the air while I sit here typing this up.  That is what this hobby is all about to me.  Remembering the fun things we do as a family.  

This page was made using my August Gossamer Blue kits and the newest set of stamps by Kellie Stamps.  This set is called "Seriously?" and is one of my absolute faves.  

Lately I have been loving grid style layouts.  All the little pieces from the GB kits fit perfectly here making a very busy but photo-centric page.  This is absolutely my favorite photo from our beach trip.  I love it so much I may actually scrap it a few times.  haha

Hope you are having a lovely summer and have lots of time to put those memories to paper.  Don't forget to get on over to Kellie's store and pre-order your stamps.  They start shipping the 15th!
