Cassie's last First Day of School


Scrapbook inspiration for today:
It doesn't matter where you go in life, it's who you have beside you that makes it worthwhile.

A sad and a happy day for me today. This is my younger daughters last first day of school. She is a senior and I will never again be rushing out to take the first day of school pictures or ask the questions about her new teachers or which of her friends are in her classes. I have always enjoyed the picture taking on the first day of school. I get the pictures of them and then a picture with their backpack or school bag. It is tradition. It is just sad that both of the girls have grown up...
On a happy note, Benjamin and I had a good morning. Cassie is in school for such a short day that this may work out well for us. A few fun hours and then I get an afternoon break before we have a few hours together again at night.
And a happy note from Fred, he found another silver ring today with his metal detector. That makes about ten. Yup, he is a happy man today. This summer has been good for him.

Your blog looks lovely! I've had mine up and running since the first of the year, and I'm still trying to figure it out. I blogged about my son's first day of school as a freshman in high school. I'm a little freaked out. I can't imagine what it will be like when he is a senior. Thanks for sharing!

Counterfeit Kit May Blog Hop

Hi. If you are here for the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop, welcome. If you stumbled onto my blog and would like to start at the beginning or you are looking for the complete list of blogs you can find it here . Our challenge was to get inspiration from our favorite scrapbook company and their blog. I have quite a few favorite companies, but for the challenge I chose Jillibean Soup . They have so many fun layouts on their blog and I found this layout by Julie Bonner and thought it was great. For my layout I switched the hearts for shamrocks. I had this adorable picture of my grandson from St. Paddy's Day and I was happy to find a cute layout idea. I used my Cricut to cut the shamrocks with the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge. I used a touch of adhesive on the top of each shamrock to hold it in place while I was sewing but none near the center because I didn't want the needle to be sticky. I followed the lines of the ledger paper to keep the sewing straight. The layout went

June Counterfeit Kit

I was so excited to see the inspiration kit for June at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog. Burlap and Butterflies put together the great kit in this picture. I really liked all of the pink, orange, blue and green in the original kit so I tried to stick with that. As my main paper and color reference I chose an old sheet of BG that I have had for years. I love the elephants and the colors were just right. I ended up with fifteen patterned papers. My embellishments... What can I say, I went overboard. I couldn't help it. I have all of these great Sassafras goodies from my mystery box so I needed to add some to my kit. I have a few things in here from last month, and a few things that I have had for a long time. I have some buttons, ribbon, and bling mixed in with some tab stickers, chipboard, and journal spots. I made the summer add on and I managed to only use four papers! And only a few little embellishments. See, I have a little self control... But then it ended. I tried to pic

Welcome to the November Blog Hop. If you came here from Jemma's blog you are in the right place. If you came from anyplace else and would like to hop along with us, you can start at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog.  This month our sponsor is Scraptastic Club . Our challenge was to use our kit to make a home decor item. I used my kit (and one additional patterned paper and ribbon) to make this fun wall hanging for my grandson's playroom. I was inspired by this fall wall hanging on Pinterest. My chipboard alpha blocks are eight inch squares. I bought the whole set last week at Ross for $3.99. Thanks for looking. The next stop on the hop is Julie Ann , I am sure she has something beautiful to show you. If you get lost along the way the hop list is below.
