40th Birthday

-
Here's another layout I did tonight of my 40th birthday back in May 2018. I used a sketch from Sketches in Thyme to scrap the photo of me blowing out a candle. I don't usually like to scrap myself but I guess when you turn 40 you don't have a choice. I am also using this layout to enter the challenge on the Bitten by the Bug 2 blog. 

My Layout:



And the Sketch:










To Create this layout I used:

Park Lane: No Prob-Llama paper stack
Kaisercraft: Party Time photo overlay
Dear Lizzy: Die cut shapes
Baby Steps Cricut Font: title






Small Talk Frames and Tags Cartridge: chevron arrow 
Stickles and color box rouge ink



Thank you so much for stopping by!



Blessings,

    Happy 40th! Make sure to take more pictures of yourself and scrap them. Your family will appreciate that in another 20 years. My 60th will be later this year and I can tell you that 40 is still young and it seems my 40th was only yesterday.

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...
