Life is Grand....

That's today's theme....Grand for so many reasons...Grand because of all the grand kids we have...Grand because I get to have off all summer...Grand because I get to help save some wonderful special dogs...Grand because I get to scrapbook nearly everyday. Speaking of scrapbooking here is my latest layout...It's from Sketches in Thyme the open challenge...This time I used the sketch from Valerie... My layout is called Life is Grand....

Open challenges...

It is open challenge at Sketches in Thyme..I just LOVE sketches...it gives me that little kick in the pants to get those photos scraped....I used Elizaveta sketch pick and her layout for my inspiration. Todays layout is about my Husky girl Shelby...she is 12 years old and just loves those grandkids....follows them around all night when they come for a visit but when they leave she is beat..I love the look on her face...it seems to say..."when oh when are those kids leaving?"....Thanks for looking...

Finally it's here.....

The first day of my SUMMER vacation...and so far I spent it scrapin..My goal is to get as many pictures scraped as I can...Everyday it seems like I get more & more pictures so I really need to keep up.. I just LOVE this layout..it makes me SMILE..
Anytime someone is eating something little miss Shelby is right there. Look how she is looking at Gabe...her little face is just saying..."I LOVE you"..."please give me a bite" gotta love having dogs & grandkids...Life is good!!!!
Now about now I made this layout..I broke out some paints for this one...First I painted the brown onto some old Grunge board and used it as a stamp...then I hand cut my heart and painted it blue this anchored the photos. Used my Cricut (paper pups)to cut the title and paw print. Simple and to the point..Thanks for stopping by.

Oh and lets not forget HATE...they are not found of this HOT weather with all their HAIR...Any way on to some scrapin business...Frosted Designs it's Friday so it's my turn to do something...Stitching was the challenge. This week I was thumbing through my older photos and came accross this one...It's aunt Nicky (my daughter) holding baby Gabe when we went for photos at Lock Ridge Park. I just love this photo. My stitching is around the hearts to make them pop just a bit. One ot the things I love most about this hobby is that it lets you revisit all these special memories and lets us preserve them for the future. Thank you so much for stoping by.
