Its Hot, Hot, Hot!

Summer is definitely here!  For the past couple of weeks we have been dealing with the heat and humidity that normally arrives in July and August.  If this has been a preview to the upcoming summer months, we are in for a hot time in the holler!  All those gardens that were put out early, survived the flood, and now looking so pretty may just cook now!  I have been piddling in my flower garden a little but mostly staying in my cool air-conditioned home and scrapping up a storm!  I had so much to catch up on that I barely knew where to start. Today, I'll begin with showing you some of the special layouts I created with some of the hot products by Tracey Monette-Clever Monkey Graphics:

  My grandson Isaac loves Diego television show so I used those lyrics with the cute childlike doodles of zoo animals in Taylor's Zoo.  I combined those elements with Tracey's Multifarious Elements and Papers from SBE.  Multifarious is tough and delicate all at the same time and worked perfectly for my theme!

The Collab-Grab Bag from Funky Playground Designs includes 13 Mini Kits in the most scrumptious colors and sunshine theme!  I used the Mini Kits from Tracey Monette and Charlize Creations for a cute page with journaling based on a favorite game of my grandchildren, I Spy.

The Dentist's Chair is a collaboration kit by Tracey and Alissa Jones filled with all the major aspects of dentistry, orthodontics, and the tooth fairy but it can be used for so much more as well!

And last, I used the
Born on the 4th of July kit by Tracey Monette-Clever Monkey Graphics.
While dedicated to Independence Day birthdays, this kit also works great for all sorts of red, white, and blue layouts, and since this is the time of the year that most everyone is planning their summer vacations, I always am reminded of the fun times we used to have during our 4th of July vacations.  As I recall those special days in my mind, my heart led me to create this as my submission for the June Scrap From The Heart Challenge at RAKScraps.


As always you can get a full list of credits and layout descriptions in My Galleries

Hump Day with Teen Tude

Wednesday is Hump Day:and we are half-way through the week.  We here in the USA are looking forward to a big holiday weekend, the 4th of July!  I am sure my sons will take their kids to one of the fireworks shows in the area, and we always have a family cook-out at my brothers house.  I still have to try to get my stuff together for the big yard sale my DILs are having on Saturday.  But today, my husband and a few of his friends are meeting here to finish putting up the big 100 ft CB antennae tower for his "Bull Creek Sub-Station!  He loves to talk and there is always a listening audience for his foolishness on the CB.  That is about the only hobby he has, lol! For me, my love of digi-scrapping led me last night to double-check and finish some of the photo books I have to make sure they are ready for printing.  I added a couple of slide shows from these projects over on the right side of my blog so I hope you take the time to peek at them.  I can't wait to actually see these

Bells of St Clements

“Oranges and lemons… The Bells of St Clements…”. The words of this old English singing game identified the church bells in and around London and are the inspiration behind Rina’s “Bells of St Clements” collection. Full of juicy fruity freshness in citrus shades of cream, lemon yellow, orange and lime green, this collection is sure to become a summer favorite. As part of the Door Buster Event , there will be some new coordinates for Rina's new (soon to be released) kit that are priced for only $1 or $2 !!! I have loved playing with this beautiful kit! Here are some layouts I have finished today. This is a special page I made for my DS#2 and his lovely wife! I love you guys and wish you only the best which life has to offer!!! Thank you for stopping my blog today and here is a freebie I made for you from the layout above. ***SORRY-NO LONGER AVAILABLE***

In Memoriam Collection

Anyone who has lost a loved one knows how much they cherish them and want to preserve their memory. Putting together a Memory Album is one way of remembering them, now and for future generations. Rina and Kimberly have come together in bringing you the "In Memoriam" collection that exemplifies gentleness in strength. Inside this large collection you will find a myriad of embellishments and papers that are suitable for both softly feminine and more rugged masculine pages. It is delicate and sensitive, yet strong and thoughtful. The colors are peaceful, yet with an intensity that gives them strength. You will be able to choose from a number of color combinations: from crisp silvery white and lavender, to the soft glow of gold leaf and sky blue, from warm caramel and taupe to shades found in nature, and finally to accent colors of scarlet red, navy blue and dark purple. Often times our emotions are still very raw from our loss and we may find it difficult to draw on our own c
