Sweet!

Good morning!!  So happy that baseball season is over!  sad the boys didn't do well, but wow!  They had an amazing season, tons of fun...and now I have tons of time!!

Here is something I put together yesterday:

I used this sketch from Let's Get Sketchy:

This was a lot of fun and I was able to shake some dust off of my hexagon punches.

It's a Boy Thing

Here is page I made with bugs!!  lol!

I've had these bug rub ons for a very long time and was surprised that I could actually get them to work correctly.

I did this page for the "It's a Guy Thing" from Connie Can Crop.

That beetle or spider thing on the side creeps me out....just saying...

Pretty in Pink

Now that I managed to complete a few "boy" pages, I used the challenge from Cookin" Up Creations to do this page.

The challenge was to be inspired by the movie Pretty in Pink - and to add the word Pretty somewhere on your page, the color pink and the color gold.  I used a CM punch on some gold paper to add some hearts.

This sketch from Creative Scrappers was my placement inspiration:

Let's Set Sail

Time with the hubby is so rare nowadays.  It's such a treat to finally be able to get away for a bit. 

We were lucky enough to be invited to a dinner cruise on Lake Michigan.  We had a great time!

I used this 2 page sketch from Let's Scrap:

And this inspirational picture from Creative Embellishments:

I also added my nautical pieces  - the anchors - lighthouse and compass:

Ridin' the rails

Everywhere we go, no matter how old we are, we always have to ride the kiddie train!

Here was a trip we took to a local museum that had a train that took us for a ride around the scenic grounds.

I used this Tic Tac Toe challenge from Scrap Our Stash.

I went across the top - Red - Buttons and Ribbon.

I chose this pictures to work with the "things that go" challenge at Cookin' Up Creations:
