The boys and I will be showing you how to spend time with your children and preserve your memories at the same time! Capture this summer's memories from your child's perspective with this fabulous "Being Together is What Counts" album that you make with your child!
WOW! Two of my favorite companies together make a great combination!
"Why is it that so many things are that much better in the Summertime?" Features the Breaking Free collection from My Mind's Eye.
"So, this is where the wild things are ..." Features Offbeat from Basic Grey!
Both layout combine to make these fun and spunky layouts that can be used for so many of your favorite summertime activities. As usual, they are "generic" (in a super cute way) so you can use them with boys, girls or both!
Good News!! If you are a Kit Club member (any club), you will receive 20% off your purchases (monthly Kit Club excluded).
when you are a mom to little boys, the best words you can hear on the day before a holiday are: "Lips heal super fast. He doesn't need stitches". Even if it does cost you a $150 co-pay!
The Sweet Taste of Summer
Tip: Adding Glossy Accents changes to our chipboard makes it look like they're covered in acrylic!
About a month and half ago I was asked to help get a blog going for My Mind's Eye. Those of you who took classes from me at All My Memories know I have loved My Mind's Eye for a long time. My love for MME started with Wild Asparagus and has continued ever since.
You can imagine my joy when they asked me to help with the blog!
The blog officially kicked off today with Sneak Peeks of their upcoming releases. Be sure to head over there and leave a comment for a chance to win their new products!
You can also follow My Mind's Eye on their Facebook page.
the four year old you are!

What better keepsake for that special “dad” in your life than a mini album showing how much he means to you. This album is a great addition to his office or your coffee table.
I used an antique cigar box as the case for my album. You can find your own cigar box at a local antique store or on the Internet (eBay is a great source). You could also use an unfinished wood box found at your local craft store.

I really camped in this for 4 days! I'm totally behind in my posting. I'll catch up soon ... and, that IS hail on the ground!!
How I was inspired:
I was inspired by the colors and stuck with the cream and brown with a punch of green!
I also loved the relaxing "feel" of the ad and wanted my layout to have the "feel".
I used the shape of the chair as the shape of my pictures.
I used a font like the one used for "Pottery Barn" as my title across the top.
I added a sub-title on the left side of the main photo.
My journaling ran in a straight line along the bottom.

BoBunny Love Shack: I just about died when I first saw this line! It was December and I was feeling the blues. This line is so bright and colorful it chased those blues away. It seems like a really feminine line, but as you can see, I've used it with my boys and kept it masculine!
Have fun playing with Love Shack!

So, Neal can earn an "arrow" for scouts if he grows a garden. It doesn't say what size, just a garden. The other day we went to the nursery and bought 4 tomato plants:
and two pepper plants:
(We believe in colorful gardens and salsa!) I helped him plant his "garden" last Saturday.
When he was finished, he went and played with our backyard neighbor. While playing, he threw a basketball over the fence. It landed right on top of BIG Beef and snapped it off! Well, Riley thought that was so funny that he started throwing balls at the tomato plants on purpose and killed the Super Sweet 100.
I think they'll grow back, but it will be a couple of weeks until we know for sure and I don't want to be 2 weeks behind. So, today we went back to the nursery and bought new plants to replace the dead plants. We'll plant them on Saturday. As protection, I'll put the body guards up (cages) even though the plants are not big enough yet to need them!!!
I hope your day was as good as mine! The boys made me breakfast before church. Bryan, his dad and my brother's-in-law planned dinner. The Mother's weren't supposed to lift a finger.
After dinner we were able to visit my parents and I gave my mom the My Mom is ... album. She loves the album! I'm glad I have the mom I have who can show so much unconditional love to everyone!
"My Mom is ... " album

Designer Tip: To "tie dye" your background paper like I did:
1. spread shaving cream on a cookie sheet
2. mix in food coloring
3. lay paper face down on shaving cream & gently apply pressure.
4. pick up paper
5. wipe off shaving cream using a paper towel
6. dry (dries quickly)

I had a lot of fun decorating Neal's teacher's door for Teacher Appreciation Week.
He's absolutely LOVED this year. We've been so lucky to have a great teacher every year.
