Family Fun

Weekends in the summer...fun-filled with lots of running around, which we don't mind much since we are also off Monday-Friday! We are heading out to a friend's house later to have a college friends reunion. In the past these parties meant beer, bbq, campfires, and late nights. This time, think kids. We are all bringing tents and camping out in the backyard. I imagine that there will still be bbq, campfires and some beer. I am not a big camping gal so it should be interesting!

Speaking of "All-American" fun, here are two recent layouts. I made these using the amazing July Mini Kit from the Nook--love Webster's Pages and this line does not disappoint. I can't wait to see their summer releases!

With this layout, I actually used a sheet of shaped paper from Making Memories to use as a template. I love doing this--cheap and pretty! I kept it simple with white space, something I am enjoying lately. Journaling: Nathan to Christian, Christian to Ella & vice versa. You are each other's heroes. Great admiration all around.



This layout is all about the photos! Look and see how I edited one of the black and whites. I was so excited that I figured it out! The flags are the only images in color! Lots of cutting here---but isn't that what Webster's are for? Journaling: We have always tried to teach you about the American flag so you can learn respect & know all that it stands for.



Off to pack and get ready for the big weekend. Hope you enjoy yours!

    The layout you made for your sister in the last post is absolutely gorgeous and brought tears to my eyes. She will cherish that I am sure.
