This month I am featured on the Member Spotlight on the Scraptastic Blog... so I have done 5 layouts-- process video which I will release one per day for the next 5 days... I am using the July Scraptastic Kits (Summer Nights and Either Way)

Layout #10 using the May Scraptastic Kits... the layout took 47 minutes to complete.  Here is a picture of my daughter at her competition and thought it was a perfect pic for something I say to her all the time "Hello, don't give me tude"

Layout #11 using the May Scraptastic Kits... there wasn't many red papers in this kit but I manage to find enough red embellies to complete a page about hockey... that's what I love about the fact that I am now using kits, I'm pushing myself out of my comfort zone and using these kits to their full potential and definitely getting my money's worth...

Hope everyone has an awesome weekend, I plan on being outside and enjoying the sun as they are calling for rain most of next week :(
Layout #10 using the May Scraptastic Kits... The main color of this page is pink... that is something I do quite a bit, I sit down with the kit and put colors together then I find pictures to go with the colors chosen.  I also use Crafters Workshop template with Hero Arts Pale Tomato Ink.

Layout #5 using the May Scraptastic Kits... this is a picture of my Grandson... he is so funny... gets up in the morning and grabs his little ball cap and puts it on... that day we had taught him to hit a ball with his hand, he would not give up until he had it mastered, he was so concentrated... I couldn't stop laughing cause to him it was serious business.

A little behind posting pages on my blog, we were on vacation in Foxborough Mass. and the internet wasn't that great... but it is such a beautiful campground that it was ok. We had so much fun and relaxed a whole lot, it feels good to recharge our batteries once a year.

Here is a mixed media layout of my grandson, I used the May Scraptastic kits...
This is the 4th layout using this kit.

Okay so here we go my first post on my new blog, I've only been saying I was getting a blog for the last year or so... I'm not much of a writer but I thought it would be fun to have a place where I can post my layouts...

Here is a layout of my son and his new dog Ace. Ace is a GoldenDoodle and is just the cutest dog, he is the perfect match for my son... full of energy and will not leave his side... they make quite the pair...

There is a process video on YouTube for this layout... here is the link:
