Heat Wave Swimming

One evening while I was babysitting Elle for a week, I picked her up early from daycare so we could take her swimming.   Her Papa Don was also in town so we wanted to spend more time with her.
It's a tight schedule usually from the kids picking her up after work, to dinner time, a little play and a strict bedtime.   So it was fun to be able to go swimming one day before dinner.   She had a blast.

I used the sketch at   "SKETCHES IN THYME"   This is sketch #33e and I will be saving it to use again on other layouts.

Here is the sketch and  LINK.    Check it out and see all the inspiration for this sketch and the other weekly sketches this month.

KISS

I had the honor of getting to babysit my 17 month old granddaughter Elle for 8 days while her Mom and Dad took a vacation to Belize.   She was so good while they were gone and wasn't fussy at all missing them, but was excited to see them when they came home.   She had a big kiss for her Mom.

I used sketch #334 at   "SKETCHES IN THYME"   for this layout.   It was perfect because I knew I wanted to print a 5x7 photo this time instead of my regular 4x6.

Fishing Girl

My granddaughter loves to fish, just like her Dad and Papa and she got to do it with both of them while on a vacation in Florida in late June.   Looks like she was pretty successful with the fish she caught.

I used the sketch lift   'Lift60' at   "SOUL-SCRAPPERS"   for this layout.   It was perfect for these three pictures of her fishing.

Here is the layout I lifted.

Walking Otis

Mom and Dad are back from vacation and my week of babysitting is over.    So now I'm getting pictures they are taking of Elle instead of Belize like I was getting last week.   I need to start on their vacation album, but when they posted this picture yesterday I feel in love with it and had to make a layout right away.

I used the July 1st sketch at   "LET'S GET SKETCHY"     Here is the sketch, check it out and the new one that was posted on the 15th.   Still a week to enter them both.

Lake Life

I made this double of the kids here at the lake a couple of weeks ago.  It was only Gibson and Addisyn, big brother Bryce was at his other grandparents house.   But these two little ones still did great out tubing without any big brother help.   They will all be here this coming weekend so there will be a lot more pictures taken and more scrapping to do.

I used the double page sketch at   "SOUL SCRAPPERS"  for my layout.       Here is the sketch I used.

Summer Lovin'

I got these pictures of my granddaughter Mylan on vacation in Florida visiting her Papa Don.
I thought they were perfect for the challenge at   "SCRAP OUR STASH"     It definitely
says the days of summer and I used a PL card with a sun on it this was the twist to the challenge.

Here is the LINK and info on the challenge.

Butterfly Card

I was asked to be a Guest Designer at   "SCRAPPING 4 FUN CHALLENGES"   I was pleased to accept.    This is my card I made for Challenge #120  --  Anything Goes with Flowers and Butterflies.

This was such a fun challenge.    I embossed some white card stock and then put it on a pale blue card base.  I added 4 banners of different lengths, two of them were cut cut from floral patterned paper, then i cut out a bund of butterflies from dry embossed paper that went with the colors of my banners. I have 3 large butterflies with 3 medium sized ones on top to make them have more dimension and then I have 3 small butterflies.  I put clear gems in the cent of all of them to finish off my card.

I hope you have as much fun playing with this challenge as I did.
