Boys Rule Julie Bonner sketch challenge

This is probably the only picture I have of Jason's paternal grandparents together with his Dad for a group family picture.   I'm glad I finally scrapped it.

I love this sketch by Julie Bonner and its for the challenge running till end of July at the Boys Rule blog.

Family Weekend - BG sketch

We spent the weekend in St. Louis at Davids house and Arthurs daughter Barbara's family also flew in.

This was the first time all the Greenberg cousins have been together since the latest 2 arrivals.

So here is a layout made with pictures of all the cousins together.

I used the latest Basic Grey Sketch and all my papers were from the BG - Out of Print collection.

I loved all the colors in it.

Boys Rule sketch challenge

I used the June 8th sketch over at Boys Rule to make this layout of Kai.   I hadn't seen the picture before but Susan sent it to me and I just love it.    I "think" this was taken in April in CA when they

went out for a friends b'day party and it was a white party and everyone wore white.   Kai, as always looked so cute .     I used all Pink Paislee papers from Indigoe Bleu with the exception of the banner and that was left from the cuts outs of a die cut circle I had made from a piece of Bo Bunny  ETC collection.  I used a lot of it yesterday and just saved these pieces knowing they would work on a border sometime.   I like how it stands out from the rest of the coordinating papers.

Jason & Susan wedding

My son and daughter in law had a destination wedding in Cabo Dec 5,  2008 and I've scrapped so many of those pictures already.   But her parents also wanted them to have a church wedding, so their "1st" wedding was in their church on Nov 1st.   There weren't a lot of pictures there as the guy who was taking pictures something happened to his camera, but I did manage to get these pictures from my seat.

So wanted to add these layouts to their album.   "finally"

SUNRISE

In the scrapbooking group I'm in SnC "Scrappin n Chattin" we are having a photo a day challenge for the month of May and the prompt for todays picture was a sunset or sunrise.    So I got up at the ungodly hour of 5:30 am and was out walking in the yard to take this sunrise picture.    I loved it so much I wanted to make a layout of it.   I used the May challenge sketch from www.thesamplerkitclub.com.   It was the perfect sketch for this because I just wanted to highlight the picture and not take away from it with the background paper or embellishments.  So found this piece of solid color paper, put a small mat around the pic in another solid for and then got out my cricut and just used white paper to cut the swirls from the "Lovely Floral" cartridge

Boy's Rule May 11th sketch

This sketch worked out just great for some of the fun photos I got this week of Bruce (my brother)  we were both joking around with our i-phones and started taking pictures of each other at the same time.

If nothing else we have fun together, never a dull moment.

Memphis trip layouts

These are just a few of the pictures I took at Mud Island.   I used the May sketch at Authentique bloodspot and used the Authentique Journey collection.     I'm really loving their papers.  I thought the background paper went well with the pictures, with the twists and different colors, just like the twists and depths that are cut into the walks at Mud Island.
