Here is a picture of my brother kissing up on my mother back in the early to mid 70’s.  He was so funny & I’m sure my mother was lovin’ it!

Here are a couple of layouts using, Let Freedom Ring,  another beautiful new kit from Digi Cyber Scraps.  The pictures were taken in 2011 from our balcony at the Omni Hotel.  Every year, over the bay, there is a fireworks display shot off the deck of the U.S.S. Lexington.  You can see the U.S.S. Lexington  in the background.   The fireworks last about 20 minutes and is a grand show.

This kit will be available soon at mymemories.com.  Just scroll down the list of designers until you find Digi Cyber Scraps.  Or you can search by kit name.  If you haven’t tried MyMemories Suite, you should try it now.  It’s so fun & easy!  Use the code on my page for $10 off the software & get another $10 coupon you can spend in the store!

This layout is made using “4 Seasons Summer” by Scraps N Pieces another freebie I got on the MMS blog train.  I love the layout & colors on this page.  They are not my normal “go to” colors in spite of the fact that I love blue & brown together.  They bring out the blue in Mill’s eyes even more!  The photos were taken by Linda Blackwell Photography.

This layout was made using a new kit I got free on the MMS blog train.  It is “In Bloom” by Sweet Blossom Designs.

Here’s my Sunday night speed scrap.  I used a new “Make My Year” by Mandy King which was a freebie I got yesterday on the Cinco de Scrapo blog train.  Woo Woo!

This layout was made using all the papers & elements in the Use It All Challenge kit by Connie260.
