Balloons to Heaven

On Mother's Day the boys wanted to send cards and balloons to their Grammy who is in heaven. It was such a touching day. I've been wanting to scrap it for awhile. Recently I have been trying to organize my digital supplies and I came across this great kit that was just perfect for these pictures. This kit was called The View and I think it may have been a free kit that I got, but can't quite remember.

Happiness

For my oldest son's 10th birthday in March, he decided instead of a party he wanted Nascar tickets. So we bought him tickets to the August race at the Pocono Raceway. He got pit passes and we sat in Victory Lane seating which got us up close to the drivers as they walked out to the stage for driver introductions. It was a great day and I wanted to get it scrapped. I've had this racing kit in my stash for well over a year now, it was nice to get to use it! He was one happy boy at that race!

Dad's 70th Surprise Party

On July 19th we through my dad a great surprise party for his 70th birthday! He was really caught off guard and actually thought he was coming to a birthday party for a friend of his. It was so much fun. I really wanted to capture the moment! I used a kit from Megan Mullins and Studio Flergs called The Gentleman for this page.

Beach Snapshots

I've decided it's time to scrap our beach trip that week took at the end of June. We spent a wonderful week in Ocean City, NJ. Normally I take lots and lots of pictures, but I put my camera down more often and really just enjoyed time with my family. There are many great beach kits over at Sweet Shoppe Designs. Most of my newer Lo's I have pulled from different kits because they all seem to match. I love it!

Just Being me

I had a busy scrappy weekend and got 2 layouts done! That is rare thing for me to do. Especially once the weather turns warm! I often find myself wanting to spend as much time as possible outdoors and enjoying the sunshine. A few small health issues kept me indoors this weekend and resting, perfect for scrapbooking. I found another idea on Pinterest that I just loved. I had the perfect pictures of my youngest son. We were outside playing one afternoon and he just decided he wanted to be my little model. It doesn't happen often so I grabbed my camera and took a few shots of him! I used the kit 20 Questions by  Shawna Clingerman. Another great kit that is perfect for my household full of boys!

Pool Time Fun

I've been quite busy lately and haven't had much time to sit and actually scrap. I still thought about scrapping and spent time scrounging the internet, especially Pinterest, for inspiration! I found a gem there recently that just screamed summer. It immediately made me think of some pictures I had of my boys swimming last summer. I loved how it turned out. I used a kit called Memorable Vacation by Kristin Cronin-Barrow & Zoe Pearn. The colors are great. I find myself going back to this kit often!

Spring Memories

I absolutely ADORE the template I used to create this layout from Cindy Schneider! The sunshine, the clouds, everything just was perfect for these pictures I had of my youngest son picking dandelions out front of our house recently. Nothing screams spring like dandelions and sunshine!

All the yellow papers were basically pulled from different kits I had. All other papers and embellishments are from the kit Memorable Vacation-Kristin Cronin-Barrow & Zoe Pearn. All the colors really seem to work well together.
