I Love New Product!!!

Who doesn't love new scrapbooking goodies? I sure do! Well I have started to dig into my new stash of supplies from my recent trip to the Scrapbook Studio in Pooler.
This colorful stripes is from Basic Grey's Marrakech line.


I am so loving this new line from Bo Bunny! Mango Luau. I am glad we live by the beach. I will definitely be taking many trips and photo ops so I can use it up!



This last layout features pattern paper from Pink Paislee's Fetching line. When I pulled out the archery pictures I did not think I would find anything decent to use, but I am glad the way this layout turned out.



Now off to a hot soak in the tub with my new issue of CK!

Finally Summer



Today finally felt like summer. The kids and I spent the day at the beach soaking up the sun and catching some waves. I did get to rub it in to my Mom who called as we were relaxing on the beach and she was working. It is so hard living on an island!



Contessa was hard at work helping build a sand castle with Tyler.



I was able to harvest two zucchinis today. For the past month I have grown the largest zucchini and squash I have ever seen!



Here is a zucchini next to a ruler. And this isn't even the largest zucchini to come out of my garden! I am looking forward to making more zucchini bread. Yum-O so good! Winston suggested adding chocolate chips. He loves the bread so much that I dare not tell him it has zucchini in it:)



Tomorrow, back to reality, cleaning the house and running errands.

A Few Layouts Accomplished




This layout feature pictures my sister took when she went to see Taylor Swift in concert. I love the large picture with Taylor at the piano. I used Walgreen's photo collage prints to have several smaller pictures so I could get more pictures on a page. This takes more planning in the beginning but I am able to get more pictures on page and still have room for embellishments.

Back in October I went to the Girl Scout National Convention in Indianapolis, IN. The white outline flowers were done on a transparency, tracing the flowers on the pattern paper onto the transparency. Then I trimmed the transparency to lay under the the cut out pattern paper flowers. this was a fun technique.

Too Hot To Play Outside

So, I will spend the afternoon inside scrapbooking. This layout is a total scraplift and it was so fun to copy.
Here's one from Winston's Spring Soccer Team.


I just finished a layout for my sister from her recent concert to see Taylor Swift. The pictures are amazing! I have a few other layouts to scan before I can share them.

Now Is It Time To Relax?

Twilight Camp is over and it was fabulous!!! A few frustrating moments dealing with some of the adults, but the girls were fabulous! I only took over 300 pictures throughout the week.
Here are just a few fun photos.
Each girl was Knighted and received the badges they worked so hard on. We had jesters to make us laugh, we presented one of our CSA's with a banner displaying the logo she designed.


Here are our CSA's in costumes the made and a few Juniors blowing their ceremonial horns.

And for our new scouting year I announced our theme... "Together we can change the world"

Finally Finished

I was able to find pictures for the 3 layouts I designed for Scrapbook Studio.

My scanner was not working so I photographed the layouts. Some detail was lost but you get the idea.



It has been a busy week trying to put together Twilight Camp for 58 girls. We are exploring a Medieval Theme and will complete the week with a Mid Summer's Eve Fair. The girls have been busy making their costumes to wear. Contessa models the basics of her dress. Hopefully the girls will finish them tonight.

One of the highlights for camp has been archery. Even for the adults. You should see the bruise left on my arm.

Who's The Biggest Loser?

Yep, That would be ME! But am I sad about this recent status? Heck No! I played Bunco last night with a new group of gals and I walked away with $30! I lost 8 out of the 10 rounds. We had such a great time. Who knew losing could be so much fun?

Last Saturday was a lot of fun hanging out with my scrapbook pals, Jamie, Kristine, Sid and Eunice. As you can see from my last post we took a field trip to Scrapbook Studio. All the new product in this store is out of this world!!! I picked up my package of goodies to start playing with. I received The Zinnea Line from Little Yellow Bicycle.


I will tease you with a card that I made.

I do have three layouts ready. I just need to add the pictures. I hope to accomplish this task over the weekend. Have a good one.
