Splash
Amy’s Designs has a new kit releasing today. It is called Splash and is all about summertime fun in the sun in the pool. It is super cute and perfectly matches Jessica’s swimsuit from last summer since Amy’s daughter had the same exact swimsuit. You can pick it up 50% off right now too.
I have three layouts to share. The first one has photos from this past April. Journaling reads: “Today, we pulled out the wading pool for the first soutdoor swim of the season. It was a beautiful day , with a high of 87°F. Jessica and Janette also enjoyed the new sprinkler mister.”

The second layout is from last summer when James’ parents and our nephew Dawson visited.

This third layout is from 2011, when Jessica was Janette’s current size. Journaling reads: “Jessica loves to go out in the backyard and play in the wading pool. She enjoys holding the hose as it fills the pool and her buckets. It is so fun to watch her play.”

Shelly and Katherine have some freebies.
Stay tuned I have some more layouts to share tomorrow.
Impossible to Live Without
Today started Bits N Pieces over at Scraps N Pieces. True North Scraps has four pieces you can snag for $1 each. I used all four of them in my layout.
My layout uses photos I took with my smart phone last Monday. Janette is really loving holding her sister’s hand. And for the most part, Jessica likes it too.

Thankfully, last week is over. James was sick Tuesday through Friday. Janette is working on a tooth and has been super fussy/cranky. Here’s to a better week!
Little Monkey
If you have kids or know kids, you totally understand the inspiration behind the new kit by Queen Wild Scraps. I myself am always calling my younger daughter a little monkey.
This is the perfect baby kit as it grows with your baby to toddler-hood. Plus, you could easily use this to scrap photos of monkeys at the zoo or really anyone just being silly or having fun.
The coordinating word art definitely leans more toward babies, but I could see “getting into everything” working for a puppy/dog layout and “on the move” could possibly work for layout about a walk, a dance or some exercise.
You can also buy both the kit and the word art in a bundle.
Little Monkey is on sale for 30% off until June 6th.
Blossoms of My Heart with Layouts
On Tuesday, I let you know about a beautiful new kit by True North Scraps called Blossoms of My Heart. Well, today I’m here to share two layouts I made with this kit.

We have a busy weekend planned. Jessica had her swim lesson this morning and on Monday, we’re having friends come over for lunch and then we’re meeting some other friends for dinner. Of course, we’ll have to remember why we get to have a 3-day weekend. All gave some. Some gave all. I might try to scrap a layout with one of the soldiers in my family.
