Are you ready for summer?

I sure am. Five more days of school. Then after the last day of school we head up the canyon with all our old homework and build a small bonfire. Yea! I love that we live so close to the mountains and streams. We can just zip up a canyon and enjoy some relaxing family time and some yummy s'mores! In honor of all that goodness, I created...Let's Camp S'more!


Here's some inspiration from a few of my friends:


Don't those s'mores look delicious? YUM!
Hope you enjoy it!


And don't miss the speed scraps this weekend...remember I'm hosting one at 11am Saturday Morning:

And here's the fabulous prize:

the REAL thing: frames and a freebie

What a busy week! {inter}National Scrapbook day festivities lasted all weekend! With so much going on, I still managed to get something new for you. I love the look of photos with white edges, and they look even better when they are slightly curled...enough to make them look real. So, introducing...the REAL thing: frames.


And to see them in action, here's one by Krisi:

and a 2-pager by me: {for my sister--she needs to tell the story}

{Inter} National Scrapbook Day Blog Train Freebie: My Idea of Paradise

Welcome! Thanks for stopping by my blog! You should have arrived here from Happy's blog: http://happyscrapgirldesigns.blogspot.com and the next stop is Andrea's blog: http://andilynn.wordpress.com

What's my idea of paradise? Well, last fall our family was able to take a wonderful vacation to Oahu. Those six days were certainly a slice of paradise. While I loved snorkeling, watching the sea turtles, eating the Dole Whip, and seeing the sights, my favorite part of the trip was relaxing at the hotel pool, right on the beach and watching the sun go down. It was gorgeous! Don't you agree?
And very relaxing. We can't wait to return!
My daughters loved boogie boarding. Here's a layout I made with the new collab kit from the ScrapMatters designers: "Hawaiian Happy Hour" available FREE with $15 purchase.


Don't forget to snag the freebies from my new releases yesterday before you leave--they are found in the post below.
