Queen Wild Scraps has a new release today. The Good Life Vol 6 is the latest installment in her P52/Project Life friendly template series. Of course, you can totally use these templates to scrap anything your heart desires. Pick it up for 50% off today through June 5th.
Here are my layouts using The Good Life Vol 6. The first layout uses Beach Trip by True North Scraps. You can check out this post for details regarding the kit. Journaling reads: After checking out of our hotel in Holland, we drove to Holland State Park. We spent the rest of the morning checking out the lighthouse, and walking along the beach. The Lake Michigan water was a bit nippy at first.

My second layout is for my P52 project for this year. I’m a little behind, but I went ahead and skipped forward to week 19. Journaling reads: Wednesday when I brought Jessica to school, I handed one of the wrapped thumbprint trees for her teachers to her and one to a classmate for them to deliver to Ms. Erin and Ms. Maria. The kids were so excited to help them open the trees they helped create. After my weekly walk with Beini, I went to Target and picked up the $25 gift card for each of them and dropped those off when I picked the girls up from school. Teacher appreciation week was a hit. Thursday, was the last MOPS meeting until September. I’ve really enjoyed the conversation at my Green Table. That afternoon was Jessica’s swim lesson. Late that night my parents arrived. Friday morning, my parents watched the girls with their bicycle/tricycle on the driveway while James and I cleaned up breakfast and packed the car. Then we hit the road to Houston for the weekend. On the way, we stopped in Bastrop for lunch and Brenham to visit the Blue Bell Ice Creameries for a tour and snack. Saturday, we went to the zoo, which was awesome. Sunday, we enjoyed the Houston Museum of Natural HIstory. After a late lunch, we returned to Austin. Monday, was low key with lots of dress-up time. Making Pillsbury biscuits with the girls is always a hit. Tuesday morning was Janette’s parent/teacher conference. We are so proud of her accomplishments this year. Janette enjoyed some dress-up after school, before we went to the YMCA for Jessica’s swim lesson.

I love lighthouses. They are so cool! Needless to say, the two lighthouses in Beach Trip are my favorite part. Today, I’m sharing one layout using Beach Trip. Make sure and come back next Thursday when I’ll share another one. Today’s layout is from our 2005 trip to Michigan and Chicago.

Don’t forget today is the last day to pick up Circles and Scallops Vol 4 for 50% off.
A Place to Call Home was Word Art World’s portion of the Gingerscraps May Buffet. However, that sale was May 1-5. Oops, I forgot to blog about it. So it’s no longer on sale, but it is still really cute.
That little sign saying everyone needs a place to call home called to me. I had to use it. I decided to scrap the photo of James and I with the sold sign in front of our first home. We no longer live there, but we made lots of memories the little over 6 years we did live there. Journaling reads: On December 4, 2004, our real estate agent Tom Coplen took us to visit six houses. House # 3 caught our interest right away. It was a nice size and had a decent yard. The kitchen was fabulous and it had a huge walk-in pantry. We came back for a second walk-through and put in an offer. It was accepted and we went through the buying process: inspection and negotiations. We closed Friday, January 14, 2005, but didn’t move in until about Valentine’s Day. This allowed us time to paint all rooms except closets and have laminate flooring installed in the three bedrooms, all prior to moving. The laminate flooring we had installed matched the existing flooring that was in the living, kitchen, and dining rooms and made it so the master closet was the only room with carpet in the whole house. We were so excited to become homeowners.
