Happy Birthday to...

My Mom!

I love you mom and hope you have a wonderful day!

Hehe...sorry, had to get that out of the way! Sorry I've been away for so long! I finally got my new power cord, and have been trying to get back into the swing of things with my scrapping and other stuff.

We've been busy around here in the mean time! Going to the park, the pool, and we've even gone camping! I can't believe we're already half way through summer break, in the count down to when school starts mid-august. I don't think the kids are ready to back, but I'm ready for them to go....lol. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids, but after having 7 kids in the house all summer, it's been an interesting venture to say the least.

I have a few more layouts to share with you today, and a surprise at the end if you make it that far...lol

This one is of Dustin and Nathan playing peek a boo on the play area here....

The template is from my good friend 3s enough at Midnight Scrapping. Its Template #174, and the papers I used for the mat and the text boxes are from He's All Boy.

This next layout is of my kiddos and my niece and nephew playing in the dirt at our campsite at the lake....

The template is also from 3s enough, it's the landscape version of Template #134. I used one of the photos that I took for a background. Its the first time I've tried that, and I thought it came out pretty well.

I said I would have a surprise for you if you made it to the end, so here it is.... If you liked the papers and such that I used in my moms birthday layout at the beginning of my post, I made a page kit out of it as well. It's not much, there are 3 papers, 3 elements, and a word art in 2 different colors.

You can click on the preview or HERE to download it. I hope you can find a use for it!

I better go get started on the list of errands I have for today. Have a great day and Happy Scrapping!

I think I've fixed it! New link to He's All Boy

Hi All!!

I want to thank everyone again for letting me know there were problems with the file! I've rezipped it, deleted the original file on 4shared, and re-uploaded new, so hopefully everything works right now! If for some reason it doesn't, please, please do not hesitate to let me know!

As usual, here are the element preview and paper previews:

You can click on either preview, or incase my images disappear again, you can also click HERE to go to 4shared to download.

I really appreciate everyone's paitence, and for letting me know there was a problem. If you make any layouts with this kit, I would LOVE to see them! Since my laptop is still out of commision, I have yet to even scrap a layout with this kit!

Have a great afternoon and rest of the weekend!

Hugs,

Michele

A thank you and apology....

I wanted to thank you all for letting me know that the rar file isn't opening for some. I am in the process of trying to fix it, but because my computer is still out of commission and the original files are on there, it's taking me a little longer than I would like. If you download He's All Boy and have trouble opening it, please email me or leave a comment, and I will either email you back or leave a comment on your blog, along with posting it here, that the link and files have been fixed.Thank you for bearing with me, and thank you again for letting me know there's a problem, I really appreciate it!!!

A trip to the zoo....

Good Morning,

I want to thank everyone who left a comment here and on 4shared for He's All Boy!

Hope everyone has had a good week! Sorry I haven't posted since I gave out He's All Boy. The cord to my laptop had fried, and all my scrapbook stuff is on there, so I haven't even been able to scrap! I'm writing this post on dh's computer, because I wanted to share a few pictures.

My week last week came to a good end last Thursday.... Well some may not call it good, I guess it all depends on your patience level....lol I got to spend the day at the zoo with Miss Bri and her kindergarten class! We had a lot of fun, it was a lot better and less stressful than I thought it would be. Here's a few of the pictures.....

This is a rare one....I'm usually BEHIND the camera....

The elephant....
My monkey with the monkey's...

I still have yet to scrap any layouts using the new kit 3s enough and I did, He's All Boy. I was working on a Mother's Day page Kit, that is now stuck half finished on my computer as well. Hopefully by next week I'll be back with my computer and will have some layouts to share with you.

School lets out for the summer in 2 DAYS!!! Where did the time go!?!? Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Memorial day weekend!

Hugs,

Michele

Good Evening all!

Hope everyone is having a good evening! It was a beautiful day here, high 70's - low 80's! I spent my evening working on yard work at my grandma's house.

Tonight I have for you the 3rd kit in a series that 3s_Enough and I are doing for our kids. The first was Brianna's Butterflies, then It's A Girl Thing, and now we have He's All Boy. It's a kind of grungy boy kit, but should be versatile enough to use for the tom-boys in your life also.

This kit consists of 19 papers, and 42 elements. The download is in 2 parts, one part here on my blog and the other is at Midnight Scrapping. You can click HERE to go to 3s_enough's Midnight Scrapping to pick up the part she has there.

Here's a preview of all the elements:

A full preview of the papers:

Here is what I'm giving here on my blog:

Click on either preview to download.

I'm sorry I don't have any layouts to share with you using this kit. I haven't gotten much chance to sit down and work on any.

I think I'm going to go for the evening, have a great night!

Hugs,

Michele

Little boys......

always seem to be getting into something! And I think Zack gets into enough for both he and his little brother....lol He seems to think he's piggy bank I guess. Back in October, he swallowed a penny, so off we went to the ER to make sure it was going down and not stuck some where, and you would think he'd learned his lesson then. But Nooooo, sunday night he was laying on the floor, and I'd seen he had put some change in his mouth, I told him to get the the money out of his mouth, and no sooner did I get the words out and down it went!

Since he kind of was gagging on it, off we went to the ER again. Well this one went where it was supposed to go (well not "supposed" to, but you know what I mean), so it was a quick trip, and they even printed him up a copy of his x-ray so he could see his money.....

The template I used for this one is called Diagonal Dream by Valerie Brumfield and the papers are from a kit called Our Little Man by Kim Liddiard. Both can be found at The Digital Scrapbook Place.

Have you been by to see the new kit by 3s_enough at Midnight Scrapping? She's done another great job with this one. It's fun mini-kit called Teen Crush. It has 10 papers and 20 elements. Here's the preview:

Click on the preview to go to Midnight Scrapping to pick this up! I made this layout below of my niece's birthday....

I used 3s_enough's Template #181 to make it with.

I hope you've all had a good start to your week! Ours is off to a little rocky of a start, both Zack and Nathan have got runny noses, and Zack is on antibiotics for an ear infection.....I thought ear tubes were supposed to stop those?!? We actually got a little snow yesterday morning, but by afternoon it was all pretty well gone. We went from high 70's low 80's last week to only in the 60's this week. I'm ready for some warm sunshine!!

I'm off to go get kids in gear and ready for school have a great day!

Hugs,

Michele

It's A Girl Thing....

Good Evening!

Hope everyone had a good weekend! Ours was nice, once the rain cleared out.

3s_enough at Midnight Scrapping and I have another great kit for you! This one is #2 in a series of kits that we're working on dedicated and inspired by our children. The first was Brianna's Butterflies, which you can still get here.

Tonight we have It's A Girl Thing, inspired by 3s_enough's oldest. This fun, colorful kit has over 60 elements and 30 papers which you can get at Midnight Scrapping and 6 word art, that you can get a little farther down the page.

Here's the full preview:

Sorry this kit is no longer available, but you can still get the word art below.

I don't have any layouts to share tonight, haven't gotten a chance to sit down and put any together recently. Nathan spent most of last week recuperating from a stomach bug, and then Wednesday my car developed a leak from the power steering pump. So it was a long trying week!

Hope your week starts off well! Happy Scrapping!

Hugs,

Michele
