My Life… July

Posted on by

Come July, summer is in full swing and many of us are too busy making memories to devote a lot time to scrapping. That’s where My Life… July comes in. This month’s installment of the popular My Life series features heavy amounts of red, white, and blue – perfect for scrapping the 4th of July. With plenty of patriotic elements in this kit, there’s no need to shop your stash. But July is more than just one night. This kit has plenty of patterned papers, journal cards, planner bits, and more to coordinate your entire month’s scrapping. A skinny alpha, calendar page, and quick page round out the kit so your month will match from start to finish. Get your stories scrapped and get back to living with My Life… July.

Get the bundle at Scraps N Pieces, Gingerscraps, or My Memories

Both are 50% off this week.

I made a Facebook timeline using a picture of Jessica, Janette and I in our matching patriotic Lularoe.

And then I made a layout of the Shady Hollow 4th of July parade. James’ Mom came Saturday and left Wednesday, so she was able to join us in our celebration.

We traveled last summer to North Carolina and I had lots of pictures to choose from, but I chose these photos of the farmhouse at the Mountain Farm Museum, which is adjacent to the Oconaluftee Visitor Center of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

I’m sad that my month guesting for Connie Prince is coming to a close. Hopefully, I’ll be guesting again soon.

Watermelon Crawl

Posted on by

Scraps N Pieces is guesting at Gingerscraps this month and Lori and Heidi are hoping for a permanent spot there so they’d LOVE your support this month to make that happen for them! Their store there will be 50% OFF this month and they will have 3 EXCLUSIVE products available there in addition to the kits and QP packs.  If they get a permanent spot, they will be adding their template packs and CU items later.

Here is the first of their exclusive kits available only at Gingerscraps this month.  Watermelon season marks the beginning of summertime. Scrap all that summery goodness with Watermelon Crawl. This bright, poppy kit draws its color palette from everyone’s favorite seasonal fruit. Rich, vibrant pinks, juicy greens, and sunny yellows are complemented by toned down pastel versions of themselves. Rich wood-grain papers draw to mind relaxing on the porch, while more whimsical patterned papers add some summery fun. This kit features TONS of watermelon elements, including slices, whole fruits, seeds, dominos, ephemera, and an alpha that looks good enough to eat. So kick back and enjoy those lazy summer days—and a slice of fruit—with Watermelon Crawl. You can buy the items separately for $1 each this week, or buy the entire bundle at 50% off.

Scraps N Pieces also has a new template pack #27 – Inspired by Kristal available for just $1 this week.

Of course, as soon as I saw Watermelon Crawl, I thought of my grandfather. He would plant 20-30 acres of watermelons each year and would sell them by the roadside. I knew right away that I would scrap this photo of him and I as a little tyke.

I had a little bit of a harder time deciding what to scrap with this second layout. I finally decided on these photos of Janette.

Explore the “wild blue yonder” with Take Off. This timeless kit from Scraps N Pieces pays tribute to the world of aviation, drawing upon air flight’s great history. Featured elements include biplanes, pilot insignias, tickets and ephemera, propellers, and so much more. Take Off also comes packed with bold patterned papers, stunning solids, and a grungy red alpha to complement your photos. Whether you regularly soar above the clouds or just let your dreams take flight, scrap your stories with Take Off.

We took the girls to their first air show this past March and this kit was perfect to scrap those photos. I have four layouts, but I still have more photos to scrap.
