My August TSS Reveal - part 1

Due to enjoying a relaxing week at the beach, I only have 1/2 of my projects done with my The Scrapping Spot August kit. Which is absolutely fabulous BTW!!! The papers are Basic Grey Oxford and the embellies are a mix of BG Oxford, Tim Holtz, GCD, Kaisercraft, Bazzill, Jenni Bowlin, & Petaloo. This has to be one of my favorite kits ever!! It is so much fun to work with!



So here are my layouts that I have completed so far. The whole idea of this kit was to stay away from school but I couldn't help myself when I remembered I had these pics of my sweet little girl who is soooooo ready to go to school but can't start until the next school year(not this coming one).

She's so ready 4 school

This one is about Josh who ended up having to get glasses. He just seems too young to me to have to get glasses but thanks to some genes that his daddy passed on to him we're in them now. LOL!! (I'm always giving my sweet DH a hard time!! Even on my blog!!)

Love the new specs

Not sure what I'm going to do with this bookmark.....I'll have to give it away to someone who does read. I have read a few books in my life time but now that I have scrapbooking to fill my time that's where all of my time and energy goes.

Time to read bookmark



OK, that's it from me for now. I'm working hard on getting part 2 ready and will post it here when it's ready!! If you're liking this kit, then go check out the shop at The Scrapping Spot. I'm sure it is going to sell like hotcakes!!!

Back from a wonderful vacation!! (picture heavy!)

This past week has been so fun and relaxing! I told my husband that this has probably been one of the best vacations we've had! Didn't get any scrapping done except this card that I made for my niece who just turned 2. Used my Best Creation Let's Party papers! This is the first time for making a pop up card and it was fun making it! I will be making more in the future!




Even though all of my scrapping time was cut drastically it was replaced with so much fun and family time!! LOVED it!!

Being in Myrtle Beach, it just doesn't feel right until you play a game of mini-golf!! And of all the courses, we chose the right one!! Josh thought this was very funny!


We had LOTS of time on the beach and in the pool!







And Mom always has to do the dreaded photo shoot to get some photos to scrap!! LOVE the way these turned out!









The kids had a blast getting to spend time with cousins that we don't get to see very often.





We visited the aquarium while we were there. J and G were so mesmerized with all of the different colors that the fish were adored with. I have to admit I was too!! Very cool experience!! G was thrilled that they were having a Mermaid exhibit and couldn't wait to get to it so she could see the mermaids. After seeing the mermaids she had to go to the mermaid boutique and be a mermaid herself. Isn't she a beautiful little mermaid?!?!?
