Rock On!!!

-
One of my children's favorite things to do is to ride our bikes down to the river and throw rocks into the water. They can do this forever, no matter how long or short the trip. It's a beautiful location and I definitely don't mind perching myself on the flattest rock I can find and take pictures of the kids and the scenery.







This week at the new Let's Scrap blog they are having their 4th challenge:

 Challenge #4 - Photo Inspiration

The photo I choose as inspiraton was this one below. I saw the water and immediately thought of the pictures I have taken by the river.


I decided to just use the same sketch as the one Susanna used as her example, sketch 2-1-12. I choose to use the left side of the sketch as well.


My take on the sketch:


For this layout I used the following:

The Garden Party paper stack: DCWV
Groovy Times: Cricut Cartridge
Basic Gray "Hey You" chipboard diecuts.
Distressing ink
Small craft flowers



Thank you so much for dropping by my blog!

Blessings till next time,

War Binder

We are now into August and I have been thinking a lot about the fact that school is coming. I have been homeschooling my daughter for the past year and a half. She is now going to go to a Christian school in the fall for junior high. I can't believe that she is in 7th grade already! I am both sad for me and excited for her. One of my favorite things about homeschooling, besides having my daughter home with me everyday, was using my Happy Planner for lesson planning. I love my lists and seeing my week planned out on paper. So, I was thinking through how to make a good use of my Happy Planner this coming year. I a blog post on how to set up a  War Binder . I looked into this War binder thing a little more closely and decided that that is exactly what I wanted to do with my Planner. I spent a lot of time looking around on FB and Pinterest to get ideas and eventually just decided that I just needed to start it.  I have struggled with making time for Bible Study and prayer ...

Let's Scrap - Friends Forever

Since moving away from my home town I don't get to see my old high school/college friends very often. There was a core group of us that hung out beginning in high school and we are all friends still. The one friend that was responsible for all of us meeting and ultimately becoming friends was getting married. It was so fun to all be back together for an evening. What was also fun was seeing all of our children together. Definitely one of those sentimental moments that needs to be scrapbooked and kept for all time! Let's Scrap has a fantastic sketch up on the blog that was perfect for these pictures. This sketch included a fun element: booklet. At first I had some trouble figuring out how to do this but then it became clear. I hope you enjoy the layout and the booklet as pictured for you below. I decided to use the left side of the layout. And I hope you are inspired to try this fun element on your next layout! The Sketch: My Take (on the left side of the...
