Yellowstone Layout

Heres my newest layout using another sketch from Kim over at RMH. This is Brady and the boys from our ward when they went to Yellowstone in July. I used Bazzill cardstock and Crate paper. The lettering is from the Base Camp cricut cartridge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Day at the Beach

Heres a new layout. Unfortunately, the buttons make it bulky to scan so thats why there are dark parts on the white cardstock.

Brady went to Willard Bay with his friends. While there they got ahold of a camera and took lots of pictures. Most made me laugh and I think I will make a mini album out of them. I really liked this picture.

I used a sketch by Kim Stolarczyk at Rocky Mountain Hobbies for this layout. Paper is Fancy Pants Summer Soiree. I used Basic Grey buttons and alphabet stickers and a stamp by Pink Paislee.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Summer layouts

Here are a couple of layouts I made recently. They are for a color challenge at RMH. I used Fancy Pants Summer Soiree paper to do the challenge. The lettering on both was made with the Plantin School Book Cricut cartridge.

This first one if my youngest son.

This is my twins and my youngest son floating in the kiddie pool.

Eagle Project

Brady got his eagle project done today! Im so excited and proud of him for getting it done. We had great support for his project and appreciate all who helped out. For the project, Brady had to break up 100 feet of cement and move it so that the city can pour new cement. It was all sidewalks and most were trip hazards. Heres a few of the pictures I took today.

Christmas in July

Recently I was asked to be part of the Design Team for Rocky Mountain Hobbies. I was very excited and honored to be asked. I have been a member of the community there for 4 years, and have shopped in the store longer than that. Cindy always has current products and great customer service.

RMH is doing some Christmas challenges to get help you get your stuff done early. They asked me to make a banner that could be hung on a mantel. This could also be hung across a window or entertainment center...or anywhere else you might have. I got out some old tole painting books for the paper piecing patterns. I hope youll come over to RMH and join in the challenges!

Since I had a hard time getting a good picture, I scanned the stockings to show them off better.

My fire pit

I have had several requests to show a picture of our firepit that we put in our backyard. We have been trying to improve our backyard so that it is a place we like to hang out. We built the shed on the cement pad weve had since 2002, put sod in where the swingset used to be and put in a firepit. We had everything to do the firepit, just finally got around to doing it. We got the idea for how we did it from the Rupps. Theres is bigger and has a rock circle before the brick starts. Last night we roasted smores and enjoyed sitting around the fire in the backyard.

I will try to do better to update more often...summer has kept us really busy. Hope you are all having a great summer.

Happy Anniversary to me

Today was mine and Jeffs 17th wedding anniversary. Its hard to believe its already been 17 years! We went out and had a great dinner. When we came home, our kids surprized us with a cake they had baked. They had all the lights out and had 17 candles on the cake in the shape of a 17. Arent they sweet! Heres a bad picture of the cake.

Hope you all had a wonderful day!
