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

Scrapping Today

There are so many other things I should be doing today on my 10th Wedding Anniversary but Hubby had to work, and I have so many pretties that I purchased on National Scrapbooking Day-well, I just want to play!!! And I want to remind you that today is the last day to grab Rina's NSD Grabbag at the incredibly low price of $2.95. This Grabbag is so huge-it is one that just can not be missed! I made the following layout for Rina's Scripture Challenge with the Joyful Awakening Stacked Papers which is just one of the hidden beauties in this bag! I made the next page for the SBE-Layout Inspiration Challenge . It is inspired by Tomorrows and Yesterdays by Danessa . I used Rina's Secrets in The Attic Page set and the In Memoriam Element Set by Kimberly Stewart and Rina Kroes. It is a heritage page for the album I am working on for the Phelps Family Reunion. This next page was made for Build A Fairy Treehouse Challenge at Enchanted Studio Scraps. For this challenge...

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 ca...

Anchors Aweigh

In 1906, Bandmaster Lieutenant Zimmerman was approached by Midshipman First Class Alfred Hart Miles with a request for a new march or fight song. Midshipman Miles was a member of the Naval Academy class of 1907. Miles and his classmates were eager "to have a piece of music that would be inspiring, one with a swing to it so it could be used as a football marching song, and one that would live forever." The two men reportedly worked out the tune and it was first called "Stand Navy Down The Field". "Aweigh", meaning to raise or hoist, comes from the nautical phrase "to weigh anchor". The current lyrics, as revised by George D. Lottman, were adopted in the 1920s, and it is now recognized as the U.S. NAVY Anthem. "Stand, Navy, out to sea, Fight our battle cry; We'll never change our course, So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y. Roll out the TNT, Anchors Aweigh. Sail on to victory And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray! Anchors Aweigh...
