Heat Wave

Posted on August 8, 2013 by Jennifer

August days are usually so hot and muggy and the kids are at that stage where they are bored being out of school. So what do you do with them? Take them to the water park!

This kit is so refreshing just looking at the fountain and the ice pops and all the water droplets spraying around and it’s in such classic summer colors. It started out as a Bits N Pieces kit for Scraps N Pieces, but I’ve bundled it up now and it’s only $5.00.

You get 32 elements, 12 papers and an adorable teeny alpha jam-packed with uppercase, lowercase, numbers and many punctuation marks!

One lucky person who reads this True North Scraps’ blog will win this kit! Just leave a comment about what your favorite “keep cool” summer activity is. Dawna will randomly choose a winner from the comments on Friday at 7:30 a.m. CST. Good luck!

I made a layout about some fun we had at a splash pad recently. Journaling reads: “After Jessica’s swim lesson, we headed to the Hill Country Galleria to play at the splash pad. Since it was a MOPS playdate, I had a chance to chat with Lori Sonnier while the girls got to play with Lori’s three boys (the youngest is just a few weeks older than Jessica). Unfortunately, since we had arrived late, we missed seeing Michelle Elley, Kristal Cohle, and Ann Marie Mosher and their kids. After splashing around, we dried off and walked to Which Wich for lunch.”

Layouts, Layouts, and More Layouts

Posted on August 5, 2013 by Jennifer

Today, I’m sharing a bunch of layouts.

Since today is Aspen’s birthday, I’ll start off with a layout from her birthday party last year. I have plans to make a few more layouts from that party, but I haven’t yet.

Next up is a layout from Jason and Julia’s wedding.

Back to some layouts with more current photos. Journaling reads: “We took a bike ride to the Capistrano playground to enjoy our Friday morning. Janette definitely wants to be just like her big sister. Janette saw Jessica climbing up the spiral steps and she wanted to climb up too. She saw her on the climbing wall and wanted to climb up that too. It is so cute how she admires Jessica.”

These next two are coordinating pages. Journaling reads: “Mom and Dad spent the night at our house on their way to Houston for Dad’s appointments at MD Anderson. We went out to eat dinner and on the way back home, we stopped at the Gatling Gun Park to let Jessica and Janette play for a bit. Janette absolutely loved the bouncy pony.”

And last, I have a layout made for last month’s template challenge at SNP. Journaling reads: After Jessica’s Tiny Tumblers class, we out for dinner. While we waited for our food, Jessica and Daddy did the word find on the kid’s menu together. Jessica is getting really good at recognizing all her letters. She’ll see something and ask “What word does [it] start with?” When we tell her which letter, that will start a barrage of words. I love her desire to learn.

Project 2013: July

Posted on July 31, 2013 by Jennifer

As a guest CT member this month for Connie Prince, I was able to work with previously released kits as well. I chose Project 2013 July. I have two layouts to share today. Kit details are linked in credits.

The first layout contains pretty recent photos. Journaling reads: “In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the first National Ice Cream Day was celebrated July 21, 1984. Now, it is celebrated the third Sunday in July, which this year was also July 21st. We had hamburgers for dinner at Phil’s Ice House followed by ice cream from Amy’s. Jessica insisted on her own, instead of sharing. They both picked sweet cream and since Jessica got M&Ms sprinkled on top, Janette of course, wanted some too. James had cinnamon. I opted not to get any, since I knew I would be finishing both the girls’.

The second layout I’m sharing is for my P52 2013 album. I’m not going to share all the journaling unless I get a request in the comments.

Dust Bunnies Beware

Posted on July 3, 2013 by Jennifer

North Meets South Studios is in the Designer Spotlight over at Gotta Pixel. They’re giving away a super cute kit in pieces, a little every day from June 30-July 9th. Here’s a look at the complete kit. Isn’t it cute?

I made a fun layout about my homemade laundry detergent. The recipe for it can be found here and trial size version here. Journaling reads: A recipe on a blog called One Good Thing by Jillee estimated supplies for a year’s worth of laundry detergent was only $30, so I decided to give it a try. When testing it out, Jessica knocked on the window and said ‘Go,’ Janette watched her do that a few times and then started doing it also. It was so cute. 6/20/2013

I hope you have a fabulous day tomorrow celebrating our great country’s birth!

Road Warrior

Posted on July 1, 2013 by Jennifer

Today, I’m sharing another kit by Connie Prince. It is part of the July Gingerscraps Buffet. From July 1st through July 5th, pick up the kit for $2 and the matching addon packs are $1 each.

I have a layout that definitely allows for time-stopping. This is Jessica when she was only seven months old. Journaling reads: “On our way back home, we stopped in San Angelo to have lunch with Uncle Chuck and Rose. Before putting Jessica back into her car seat to head to the restaurant, we let her “drive” with Daddy. She certainly enjoys steering wheels. After eating, we stopped at the playground across the Concho River from the Chamber of Commerce to let Jessica play.”
