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.2014-05-29_LO_Holland-State-Park

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.

Je Suis Content

True North Scraps has a new kit
JE SUIS CONTENT

TNS_JSC_Pkg

available at

Go Digital Scrapbooking

(First released as a Freebie for Supreme Team Contest – now available for sale!)

and Scraps-N-Pieces

(available for sale)

Here’s my layout using this kit. I love the colors in it. Journaling reads: Our showtime for Galapagos 3D was noon. We finished up in the Hall of Paleontology and headed into the museum lobby. We bought a happy meal for the girls to share to tide them over until after the film. Janette was quite excited about the 3D glasses. Jessica, not so much. I couldn’t get convince her to put them on a little into the film. Of course, that was right at the scene with the marine iguanas sneezing out the excess salt from their body. With the 3D effect and sound track, this kinda freaked Jessica out and she wouldn’t put the glasses on again for the remainder of the film. Janette started out great, but got antsy as the film progressed and took her to the back of the theater so as to not affect other’s enjoyment of the film. She told me, “I want my Daddy” and tried to return to him, but we stayed at the back.

It Looks Familiar

Posted on April 25, 2014 by Jennifer

Check out a recent release by True North Scraps. It Looks Familiar has a real vintage feel to it. You can pick it up at Scraps-N-Pieces now and from Go Digital Scrapbooking and Heritage Scrap at the first of May. There’s a bonus add-on too.

I decided to browse my collection of vintage pictures. These two photos of Tami with my in-laws worked perfect color-wise. James is currently about the same age his Dad was in this photo. I can really see the family resemblance.
