A Little Beach Blvd!!

Good Morning Bloggers! I wanted to share a layout I did this past weekend using a new kit from Noel Mignon called "Beach Blvd". These kits are so FULL of product - it's like Christmas EVERY month!! I used a pic of my neice's kids at the beach - doesn't Ryan looked thrilled as Kate plants one on him!!! Here's my page ...

These pinwheels are adorable and there are three in this kit ... Here's a close-up. I'm lovin' the gold in the pinwheel and the Gold Shimmer twine from the Twinery is a perfect fit to the layout ...

I highly recommend these kits - you will not be disappointed! I'm off to work on a seasonal canvas ... have a great Tuesday!!

Home Study Projects

I'm hopping on to share a few projects from my Home Study Book Club which meets monthly at my LSS  Right at Home Scrapbooking. For the past two months we have been using a sketch book called "Sketch Fusion" by Allison Davis and Debbie Sanders for our inspiration. I created two layouts using Simple Stories Fab-U-lous collection. This first layout is a bit busy. It features photos of My Gram and Cosette, a lovable lab who holds a special place in my heart! I LOVE the frames that were included in our kit and I painted this one with Distress Paint ...

My second layout has a much cleaner style and the photos are courtesy of my friend Heather Chick. The pics are of Kelsie, Heather's adorable and very expressive daughter ...

I chose to leave this frame unpainted and allow the photos to shine! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend and Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful Dad's out there!!!

Phew ... a busy week!

WOW ... it has been a b u s y week! It started with a trip to Virginia last weekend to complete the memorial service for my Gram. It was wonderful to reconnect with my "southern half", many of whom I haven't seen for around nine years! We remembered stories and went through older photos and shared lots of laughs. I'm so happy to have had time with them and hope it's not another nine before we reunite.


The week ended with some fun classes at Right at Home Scrapbooking. This first class I taught. We created some oversized tags using Prima's Mixed Media Doll Stamps. Everyone did a great job and left with ADORABLE tags. The next class I took was my monthly ATC swap.  This month's theme was "Your Favorite Element". With so many go to elements to choose from, I finally decided on birds as I use them ALOT on my projects!! I went a bit crazy creating 10 ATC's using bits and pieces from my stash.  Here's some of them ...
