Layouts, LOTD and a Pool Party Palooza QP freebie!

I am on a roll..... I have gotten quite a few layouts done this week.  It is a miracle upon miracles.  I just have been lazy around the house to make up for it.  Ha ha!  And I got Layout of the Day at Scrappity-Doo-Dah!  I am so excited.  It has been years since I have gotten such an honor!

Here are my layouts I have finished this week so far:
The following layouts were made using
Travis in the Pool
This is my 6th son Travis.  He is getting to be such a big boy and is swimming by himself this year.  
Paddle Surfing
This is my 4th son taking my baby paddle surfing around the pool.
I'm a Big Boy Now!
Here is my baby becoming a big boy.  He didn't like the pool at the beginning of the summer now he just wants to spend all day out there.  He gets his brothers and father to get him out there and he even swims by himself (with the vest of coarse!).
This layout I made into a QP for you.  You will find it at the end of this post.
Pool Fun with Dad
Here are the little boys enjoying the pool with Dad!
The next two layouts were made using:
My Little Star by Daybreak Scraps
Tent Camping
This is the one that made LOTD at Scrappity-Doo-Dah!  I am so excited! This was the first night on our trip at Pine Flats Lake.
Pine Flats
This is the view from the road to Pine Flats Lake.  My journaling is about the day up to us leaving and the challenges we faced.
Now here is the QP I made for you using Daybreak Scraps' Pool Party Palooza

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you enjoy the QP!  Have a great day!

A new layout for a new CT!

It has been so long since I have blogged and I can not even believe how long it has been.  So much has happened in the past 22 months.  My boys are getting bigger that is for sure. We are looking forward to the end of summer here in California.  Ha ha!  Well, at least school wise.  Just a week left for some and 3 weeks left for the rest.  I really do have mixed feelings about that.  I have been enjoying the relaxing (no driving for 3 hours a day) summer break.  

I have not scrapped in a while since the boys keep me busy but I am trying to take some time to myself now and again.  I finally finished a page today.  It was a miracle.  Here it is:
This is my third son before and after a haircut.  It took me a while to get him to get a haircut but now it is done!  Well, this was April but you get the gist!  
Kit used: Grandma's Apple Pie Bundle by Daybreak Scraps

I had so much fun with this kit.  Here is what is in the bundle.  You can purchase them separately but the bundle is a great deal!  It even has recipe cards! 







Now the exciting news!  Daybreak Scraps blog has a cute little freebie for you, including a great tutorial on how to make this cute word art.  Hurry and jump over to her blog to get the freebie.  Click on the image below to be taken over to her blog:


A bit about me

I am a stay at home mother of 7 boys that keep me busy all day, but I love to create in many different ways when I have a few minutes to myself. Since my youngest is finally in the double digits, I am able to have a little more time to myself to create. I love crafting in any way, shape, or form and I would like to share that with you. I also enjoy cooking, baking, and gardening which I hope to share with you too.
