Weekend scrapping....

Well, our camping trip got rained out....stupid weather men....they said we were only going to get scattered showers and then it was supposed to rain all weekend! So we didn't go....it rained alot yesterday but not so much today! I really really need to be a weather person, I think it's the only job where you can consistently be wrong and still have a job!
Anyway, I got some scrapping done this weekend. Check out this layout I did for YMBD's saturday scraplift! I really love the way it turned out!

Journal

I made this journal last night for Marissa. I took a spiral bound journal and ripped it apart, altered the covers with cardstock and made the pages with scraps from my scrapbox.
I used paint and chicken wire to make the stripe along the bottom...it has amazing texture....feels kind of like snake skin!
I filled the pages with journaling spots and embellie's for her to work around...the idea is for her to have a place to put down her feelings....however she wants...through words, pictures, drawings, paint, collage...whatever!
I hope you like it! I do!

June is halfway over already?!

I can't believe how fast time flies sometimes! I got to go camping earlier in the month and I have been busy in my scrap room....as always!

Hannah has had some prime little quotes this month....as has Olivia! I can't wait to scrap some of them....for example:
Olivia says while camping "It's like being in Nature....but with potty's!"
Hannah at the drive through at the bank "I want a crabby patty!"
Anyway...they are growing up so fast!
Marissa is doing well in the hospital. It's been a rough start for her but I really think that having some contact with her bio dad might help her work through alot of her anger....at least we are optomistic anyway!

Summer is......

I have been taking a picture a day for this awesome contest over at YMBD and my first week is done....I decided to do a layout of what summer is to me. Here are a few of my favorite pics I thought I would share with all of you! I hope you likey!

Anniversary!

Go check out UYS's blog...That's use your stash....they are having an Anniversary party and they have some AMAZING prizes! Seriously....go NOW!

Nothing exciting here

I wish I had something cool to talk about, but I don't. I have been picking up some hours at work and doing lots of scrapping.
Here is a layout of this HORRIBLE storm we drove through the other day on our way home from Pittsburgh! We actually drove through a rainbow at one point...coolest thing ever! But....there was no pot of gold. Big surprise there!
