Summertime and the Livin' is Easy

Well ... that's according to my dear sons who are all out of school and lovin' every minute of Summer! My house feels like chaos now that they're back but it's a good kind of crazy. You just forget how much teenage boys can eat and sleep, LOL! I did this layout for SCS VSBN (Virtual Scrapbooking Nights) which was this past weekend. The challenge was to use a "word cloud" which they gave the site for to create. It worked perfectly for these picts I had of the boys. This layout was a fun one because it was time to get out my NEW pack of CTMH Fanfare and play! The layout idea came from Studio J. Nope...it's a done traditional but sometimes when I'm looking for a sketch idea, Studio J is a GREAT place to get ideas! I'm sure I'll have lots more fun Summer Pages soon and this paper pack will be coming out again! FUN colors! Supplies: CTMH Fanfare, EK Success Punch, CM Star Punch, Cricut CM Cheerful Seasons

Ties That Bind Us Together

This weekend I had time to scrap! Yay! I think my Scrap Mojo is back from it's vacation. This page is of my son Brandon home from college on Spring Break. There are days I look at pictures of him and wonder where the time went. The layout came from a scraplift challenge at SB.com and thanks to Jen & Angie on the SCS Recyclers Thread I had some cute ribbon & bling to add. Of course, my new Spellbinder Labels 4 added just the perfect touch for the title, embellishment and journal spaces. The paper is CTMH Emporium, I've just about used it all! Gasp!
