Family &n Friends at the Winery

We did a little partying over the holiday weekend.  We went to my brothers for the 3 day weekend where my daughter, son-in-law and Dad were also there.   We started out Saturday afternoon at a nearby winery sitting on the bluffs above the Missouri River where my brothers band was going to be playing    I had called my best friend from High School just 40 miles away and said she and her husband should come out there and join us and they did.   Needless to say there was a lot of wine consumed by the group and we really had a great time.   Good music, perfect weather sitting outside, great friends and family, couldn't ask for anything better than that to start a holiday weekend.

For this layout I found the perfect sketch at "Let's Get Sketchy" week 4, that Bev Code made.   She always makes such great sketches.    I love the simplicity of it and yet got to use some great patterned papers with it.     I have the sketch below.

I am also going to combine this layout with one of the 3rd birthday challenges going on every day at  "Sketch N Scrap"   the challenge today at "Creating with Paper and More"  is to use 3 different patterned papers.   This sketch worked out just great for this challenge.   I've been having so much fun checking out the new challenges everyday and been fortunate to be able to get a lot of them made.

One more challenge this layout is absolutely perfect for is the the one at   "The Paper Girls Challenge Blog"     Challenge #80 was called 'It's Party Time"  and we certainly had a great party Saturday afternoon at the winery.    So glad we made it to town for it and got to have so much fun with family and friends.   It rained the next day so we had a perfect party day on Saturday.
