For our church's annual Vacation Bible School the theme is Arrow Island! This year the decor team has grown and so has our church decor! What an amazing talented group of people I was able to work with. Even though this isn't a scrapbook related, we did a lot of amazing things with paper to decorate the church with so I figure why not! So, enjoy the tour! Welcome to Arrow Island! Water Fall made by a friend on the decor team did an amazing job of creating a realistic looking waterfall in our church lobby. Her husband created room dividers and then she covered them in white fabric with brown on the sides for rocks. The white fabric is then covered with white and blue tulle then shine streamers over that. The foam is cotton and the water is shiny see thru wrapping paper with colorful fish underneath. Some blue and green lights finish it off as well as lots of greenery, rocks, and flowers! Well, I hope you enjoye...

Another great layout sketch over at Let's Scrap ! Check it out! The Sketch: My Take: The best part of the zoo, I think, is where the kids got to feed the birds. The zoo keepers gave them sticks with bird food and they held them out until a bird would land on their stick and eat the food. What a fun experience! This layout was created using DCWV: The Green Stack and Noah's ABC's Cricut Cartridge for the title and the bird diecuts. Blessings!

Let's Scrap has another fabulous sketch this week. I am skating by as it's due soon, but it was such a good one I had to get it in there! The Sketch: My take: My husband went to Canada with a friend last summer on a 5 day golf trip. As you can tell it was gorgeous and they had fabulous weather! This layout was created using DCWV's Lemon Flower stack. The title "Fore!" Comes from the Child's Year Cricut Cartridge. The corner golf ball and ball/tee border came from the Sports Mania cartridge. I used chipboard letters for the other title. Till Next Time,

Grace loves to write up random "report" on things she is interested in. Her Kindergarten teacher (last year) was great - she allowed the kids to bring in things to share. So when Grace showed her the report she did on the 'olden days' just for fun she had Grace present it to the class. Here is a very nervous little girl sharing her report with the class! These pics were perfect for the fourth sketch in the NSD 2014 Sketch Contest being held on Let's Scrap Here's the sketch: My take: This layout was created using DCWV's My Sunshine Stack. The circles were all cut using the George and Basic Shapes Cricut cartridge. The title "report" was cut using the Type Candy Font cart. Till next time,

There is a lot going on over at Let's Scrap  for National Scrapbook Day/month and I'm hoping to get a lot done, however, it's a slow start :( But, I did get three layouts done so far so I thought I'd share them here. I will say that the pics were taken with my phone so the quality won't be as usual. I love sketch challenges so the the NSD 2014 Sketch Contest was right up my alley. Check out the sketches and my take on them below. The Sketch: My Take: My son is in preschool and his favorite part of the day is pick up when all the boys in the class converge out on the front lawn for a little big of steam release. To create this layout I used the blue base paper from DCWV's White Ginger Stack. The corresponding accent papers come from Me and My Big Ideas. I cut out the Boyz title using the Boys Will Be Boys Cricut Cartridge and the sun is a journal card from My Mind's Eye. The Sketch: My Take: You would think my d...
