Eat Sleep Cache

Posted on 216 by 220

Scraps N Pieces is so excited about their newest kit. It was a collab with The Scrappy Kat, so, since their kits are 1/2 off the first week, you can pick up both of them and it will be like getting 2 kits for the price of one! Amy’s Scrappin’ Memories has also done a coordinating cluster pack from their part. Pick up all of it to scrap your caching adventures, or any outdoor pictures. You will find this kit is very versatile and fun!

Grab it at 1/2 off at Scraps N Pieces or at My Memories.

Take a look!SNP_ESC_preview

I have two layouts to share today. The first one use both Scraps N’ Pieces kit as well as The Scrappy Cat’s kit. I chose to scrap a fun 6-hour hike we took in 2011. Journaling reads: Big Basin is only 20 miles from San Jose, but is a one-hour drive along twisty mountain roads. Mona and Alan picked us up from our hotel fairly early so we would be sure to arrive with time to spare for the 9:30 guided hike. After we arrived at the park headquarters area, we had time to explore around the 1930s lodge-style buildings built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. In addition to the park headquarters, they built the amphitheater and miles of trails. California’s oldest state park, Big Basin was established in 1902. Home to the largest continuous stand of Ancient Coast Redwoods south of San Francisco, the park consists of Old Growth and recovering Redwood Forest, with mixed conifer, oaks, chaparral, and riparian habitats. Elevations in the park vary from sea level to over 2,000 feet.

The second layout uses just Scraps N’ Pieces kit. I wanted to really focus on the pine cone. It’s crazy how small a redwood pine cone is considering how big the tree gets.2014-07-24_LO_Big-Basin-Redwoods-State-Park-2

I have never been to Universal Studios, but I want to go someday. Harry Potter World! However, I have been to an amusement park a time or two. One year when I was in college, I even had a season pass to Fiesta Texas. It was right across the freeway from UTSA. I took my “little sister” (I participated in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program) a few times that year. I thought about scrapping some of those photos, but I wasn’t sure about putting those photos on the web. Instead, I chose to scrap a visit with two of my best friends from high school when we got together one weekend (they attended universities in different cities). This was before I had a digital camera, so I wasn’t quite as photo happy as I am now. :-) 2014-07-18_LO_Fiesta-Texas

Have a great weekend! I’m looking forward to James getting in late tonight. He’s been in California all this week for work. I’m going to suggest taking the girls bowling. We’ve been reading Mitchell Goes Bowling by Hallie Durand at least once per day this week. Janette is really digging it.
