My kids did this awesome triathlon with a few of their friends.

Well, I've gotten up to last years birthdays in my scrapbook. So let's do a birthday post :)! I found a great sketch on Sketch-N-Scrap to use for my son's birthday pics. I will show that one first and then I'll show the layout I created (without a sketch) below it. I'm also using both layouts to complete some daily challenges on the My Scraps and More forum. The sketch: My take: To create this layout I used: DCWV: The Celebration paper stack Metal title embellishments Groovy Times Cricut Cartridge: Clock Small Talk Frames and Tags: So Happy 4 U tag, Time Flies Tag base Cricut Alphabet Cart: Time Flies Twine to separate the two pics on the right Birthday Layout: Grace was so excited to celebrate her birthday at school for the first time.

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 Sma...
