Fun Challenge

Head on over to the Scrapbook-Elements forum and check out the new challenge by Karen Schulz Click here.
The challenge is called You Can Quote Me on That.  Karen does awesome quotes and if you have never gotten any of her word art you are missing out.  I am going to dig up some pictures so I can scrap the quote and I will be back to post  my layout.  Hurry on over and join us, we would love to see what you come up with.  Remember that you have to register in the forum to participate.
This is what you get for participating:

Okay I am back with my layout.  I used Karen Schulz Empty Nest Kit to make this layout.  You can get it here in her store:  Karen's Store

Family is always family!

I went to a fish fry for my ex's side of the family on Memorial Day.  I divorced my boys dad 19 years ago but didn't divorce his family.  They will always be my family.  This layout is using Elise's Pieces Friends and Family Kits.  She has four of them for a low price right now so go and check out her blog post HERE and pick them up while you can.

Destination Vacation

I did two layouts about  my trip to Galveston Beach.  I used a kit called Destination: Vacation that is by Jeanine DeOre Designs and Elise's Pieces available at ScrapMatters.  You can get the kit here:  Destination: Vacation.
This kit is good for your vacation pics but I am sure you can find so many other uses for it.

Granny Finch's Garden again!!

I just had to work with this kit again, it has so many fun elements and I adore the alpha.  So I made a card front and an Iphone wallpaper.  Now I can look at the alpha every day when I use my phone.  You can get the kit here:  Granny Finch's Garden and the alpha here:  Granny Finch's Garden Alpha.  Check them out!!

Empty Nest

Our days of raising little ones are busy and we dream of the day when we won't have all the laundry, fingerprints and mess.  But time goes by quickly and before you know it they are grown up and gone and there you are with an empty nest.  Then you sort of wish you could have the laundry, fingerprints, and mess for a little while.  I know i do......I raised two boys and my days were filled with dirt, legos, BB guns, and all kinds of adventures.  I miss those days but I sure do love my boys. You can scrap those empty nest moments but don't stop there, you can scrap all kinds of layouts with this kit.  The kit is called Empty Nest by Karen Schulz-Snickerdoodle Designs and it is available exclusively at Scrapbook Elements.  You can visit her store here:  Karen Schulz.  You can buy the bundle and save a bundle.  If you have never used any of Karen's styles then you are missing out.  Her styles are fantastic and if you use PSE then she gives you the metadata file to use in your program.  Here is a preview of the kit:

Here is a layout I made with it.
