Then I was still thinking about sisters and looked for a picture of my sister and I and came up with this fun photo of us with our Grandma.

Boho Chic

Posted on May 2, 2017 by Jennifer

Sometimes life goes by too fast and we need to kick off our shoes, embrace the uncertainty of life, and make memories. This sort of bohemian lifestyle has been coming back in a big way. Scrap about these moments with the latest kit from Scraps N Pieces, Boho Chic. This whimsical, candy-hued kit captures the essence of a bohemian lifestyle. Playful patterned papers complement your photos without competing and can be layered to add extra charm. Owls, stitching, and ephemera abound. Metallic elements and a fun and funky metal alpha bring to mind found objects. Everything ties together perfectly without being too matchy-matchy so you can document your wandering spirit with Boho Chic.

This kit is 1/2 off May 1-7 at their Scraps N Pieces store and should be in their My Memories store later this week. You can also grab Template Pack 26 for just $1 this week.

Template Pack 26 – just $1 this week.

I made two layouts with this kit of a recent girls trip I made with some of my MOPS friends. The spring leadership training was in San Antonio and Shannon, Becky, Debbie, and I went up Friday night for some girl time before the training. It was so nice to getaway with friends. We at dinner at Beto’s, a neat little restaurant serving empanadas. The food was good. The service was a little lacking. Then we just hung at out hotel, talking, playing games, and Shannon painted everyone’s fingernails. The training on Saturday was great. And my two layouts focus on that.

Posted on April 25, 2017 by Jennifer

It’s $2 Tuesday again and this week Connie Prince has Travelogue: New York and Procraftinating.

I wanted to work with Travelogue: New York as I have lots of pictures from the trip James and I took from Rochester to Niagara Falls and Buffalo.

I decided to scrap two pages from the High Falls Historic District in downtown Rochester.

Next up is my favorite boy of all. Pictures of James as a kid definitely show how much our oldest daughter takes after him, appearance wise. They have the same smile and tiny ears.

Travelogue Hawaii

Posted on April 20, 2017 by Jennifer

Today’s new release from Connie Prince is an addition to the Travelogue series, this time taking a trip to the beautiful state of Hawaii. I was so excited when I saw that. I haven’t scrapped really any of the trip I took with my parents and siblings back in 2001.
