Back from the Beach...

Okay, so it's been a month since I blogged (before yesterday) and I'm sorry for keeping you in waiting... life took over, and the internet and computer went to the back burner. I know you're just itchin' to find out what I've been up to, so here goes... Last month, my nephew, Noah, came to visit for the month and we were busy doing things to keep my 3 kids plus Noah occupied. We went to the pool, the park, the library, shopping, boating, dirt-bike & 4-wheeler riding, dune-buggying, bike riding and who knows what else... and they STILL had energy... I don't know where they get it, but a map to find the source would be nice. :) Here's a picture of the four on one of the days we went to the park. (If you click on the pictures, you can see them bigger)

Following Noah's visit at our house, we went for a weeks vacation in the Outer Banks of NC. Yes, I live in NC, but we had to travel 4.5 hours to get to the Outer Banks. I live in the South Outer Banks... much less touristy, if you know what I mean. Anyway, we spent the last week of June with my extended family... some from Georgia, Pennsylvania, and even New York. I wish I could've seen more of my family, but they couldn't make it. We had a great time seeing the ones who were there... we had a housefull... 22 people total.

I miss them all already and can't wait for next year. I have already started scrapping the pictures from the beach. Check out what I've done!

So... what do you think? I'm pleased with what I've done so far. I think I'm going to redo the Ahoy Matey page and spread it into a 2-page spread... so I can add a few more pics & make it bigger. :) I've also been making cards like crazy, but I can't share them until the recipients get them. As many of them read my blog. Sorry. :) I'll be sure to post them soon, though. Leave me a comment... I'll be back soon! Have a great day!

Scrappin Again

I finally scrapped the photos I took of the boys with their mohawks... I wanted to scrap them seperately so that eventually, these pages can go into their own scrapbooks designated for each boy.
Here's Ethan's page... I stamped "rock" onto acetate and overlayed the picture with it, attaching with the star brad in the right corner of the pic. (just in case you were wondering if I had actually stamped on the picture - what a sin!). I had all the letters in the word "Mohawks" in glittery chipboard, except for the letter "O" so I had to improvize... I covered a piece of chipboard with Green Galore cs and then dipped it in black craft ink and covered it with Dazzling Diamonds. It doesn't match the others, but I think it fits with the rest of the page just like it was meant to be.

Here's Clayton's page... He's infamous for "winkin" at me when I'm trying to take a picture, so I had to put that one on his page... Clayton's page is a little less complicated... The words were cut using my Cricut - yes, I love it, and I cut around him on the 5X7 pic so it'd stand out a little more. I like how it came out... and it describes him to a TEE... he's definately my Wild Child!

Thanks for poppin' in on me... I'll try to post again tomorrow. :)

God Bless!
