Happy Solstice

Summer is here!!  And like a little friend told me last week, someone needs to fix the sun. lol.  It seems to be hiding.  I won't wish for warmer weather though.  I might just jinx us into a heat wave.  Don't get me wrong, I like summer, I just tend to like autumn and cooler weather better.

I complete a few more challenges this weekend from LCOM's 28 days of summer.  Here they are :

Challenge : create a layout of yourself using a black and white picture of yourself dating at least 15 years.

Challenge : Create a layout with the title 'Remember when', must have bling and an old embellishment from your scrap inventory - Here is the cover page for my Wedding scrapbook - took me almost 10 years to make, lol

LCOM layout of the month kit.  Star Wars Weekend at Disney's Hollywood Studios

Next challenges are to create a layout with a number in the title, a layout using lyrics from a song, and a layout using twine or ribbon to tie something up on the layout.  Should be fun, why don't you join us??

Fanfare

I just realized that I am going to need a HUGE album to fit all the Disney layouts I want to make.  A friend was browsing through my Disney trip album so far and she said, Wow you're almost done!!  And I'm thinking "but I have so much more wonderful memories that I want to scrapbook!  I'm not close to done yet!"  I'm having a blast reliving the memories of our trip.   I attended an LCOM crop on the weekend and I got to complete loads of layouts.  The atmosphere was great and the creative vibes were flowing. I had purchased the CTMH Fanfare Workshop on the Go kit because I knew that Disney pictures would look good in them, but I was pleasantly surprised at how versatile this kit was.   Take a look!

Now back to work, I've got more memories to scrapbook!!!  see you soon!

mountain of pennies

Marianne has reached her goal, actually she more than tripled it!  And the pennies just keep on coming.  I'm overwhelmed by the response she received.  She filled her bank 3 times already.  We'll keep on collecting up untill the week before Christmas and then we'll bring the mountain of pennies to the babies for Christmas.  That's Marianne's plan. 
The Christmas countdown has officially started in our house a the girls opened the first door in their advent calendar.  I love watching them get excited for what is really just a tiny peice of chocolate.  I hope they never stop being excited for the littles wonders in life. 
And finaly, here is what I came up with for my december project.  I used Mistletoe paper and Magic's Mesmorise layout along with St. Nick and Father Christmas stamp sets.  The big shimmer brads gave the final touch to the layout.
