Finally!

I have been wanting a new family picture of us for quite some time and had Theresa take this one at Jim and Nicki's wedding! Thanks Theresa!

A Few Photos from Jim and Nicki's wedding











My brother, Jim got married last Saturday and had a beautiful wedding! A fun time was had by all!
Congrats and welcome to the family Nicki!

I DID IT!

I actually completed the LOAD contest at ScrapDango! That means I did a layout or 2 cards a day for the month of June! Now I need to clean my house, I have ignored it the last few days trying to play catch up! Here are a few things I did later in the contest.

MSW June card sketch

A new card sketch was posted on the 15th at MSW and I have been having a blast with it!
Here is the sketch:



I made this wedding card for my brother, Jim, who is getting married this Saturday!



Loved the outcome and decided to make another for Greg's niece, Ruth, who gets married next month and also made Austin's birthday party invitations with it.







Hope you come play with us and all of Lucy's fantastic sketches!

Summer break!

We are officially on summer break, well we have been for a week but today it feels like summer, it is warm and sunny!


Lucy posted this sketch over at MSW on the 15th. I had so much fun with it and love the look of banners! Here is what I came up with, hope to see you over there!

I have been participating in the L.O.A.D contest at ScrapDango and have been keeping up ! I have made a layout or 2 cards every day in June!
Here are a few of my layouts:
This is based of a Let's Scrap sketch:
I used Nessa's journaling block on this one, thanks Nessa, I love it!

I used a Julie Bonner sketch for this one:

Thanks for stopping by!

It's baseball/ softball season!

We have been busy here with baesball/ softball practice with both Sierra and Austin playing this year. They had their first games this week and did very well!
Austin got his first hit during his second game and was so proud! But then was disappointed when the next batter struck out and the inning was over. He wanted to score for the team, maybe next time! Awesome job, bud!
Sierra found the "right" bat at her first game and connected with the ball every time! She had an awesome game!

A little scrappin'!

I have been making a few cards while playing along in the MSW Spring Fling Crop, which is still going on, and also Dango's Be Inspired Crop.
This card was created for the MSW May 1st card sketch challenge.


This card I did for Scarlett's Alice in Wonderland Challenge at MSW and also the Color Challenge at Dango. Love the outcome of it!

This is the card I made my MIL for Mother's Day this year and I used it for Cheryl's Striped Challenge at MSW:

Old Photos






A while back my Mom gave me a bunch of old photos to scan into my computer. I always have such a hard time buying her gifts for those special days, so I thought this year for her birthday I would print those photos and make her an album as a gift. I am leaving the journal blocks empty so she can write in that herself. I hope she likes it!

These are the pages I have done so far.









MSW April 1st Sketch
