This was not a “let’s finger paint” moment. My sweet, creative granddaughter work up before daddy. I guess she didn’t see the need to wake him up so she got into her mommies oil paint and got busy. When daddy woke up she was asleep beside him (I guess she wore herself out) and blue from head to toe! Freaked him out, lol!! It was a very smurfy day!
Today’s photo challenge word is building. We have a lot of building going on in our small town. The interstate is being widened and taking out half of our town. It’s out with the old and in with the new. We no longer have a bank, we have an ITM! We’ve gotten a new shopping center and a Dollar General store now. Woo Hoo! Ch-ch-ch-changes all around. For this layout I used Southern Magnolias by Touched By A Butterfly.
Last year my niece and her boyfriend decided to get married in Las Vegas. It was a second marriage for both of them and I guess they wanted to have a little fun. “Elvis” serenaded her as he walked her down the aisle then he married them. It had to have been a hoot. The kit I used here is a new release called Wedding Day by Touched By A Butterfly. It will be in the mymemories store early next week. I think this kit is absolutely beautiful!
Here are a few of the pictures from our reunion a couple of weeks ago. We had an awesome time and I wanted to capture a few of the activities. This layout is a template by Lindsay Jane. I really love the layout of the photos on this template.
Touched By A Butterfly is giving away this cute little freebie on her facebook page. Once you get the freebie your challenge is to make a layout with the kit and post it on her facebook page for a chance to win the kit of your choice in her store. WOW! It’s a win/win/win some more. Here’s the layout I made using Happy Garden.
Today’s challenge is “favorite color”. This one is very difficult for me. I have a lot of faves and favorite color combinations. At the top of the list is RED. If I’ve got red, yellow and green in a layout I’m going to be very happy. This combo rocks as far as I’m concerned. Here’s one example.
For today’s word I’ve given some interesting facts about the BIG state of Texas.
Here are couple of layouts of my favorite little honey bee! They’re almost 3 years old now but priceless to me. I used another new kit from Touched By A Butterfly called Honey Bear. I just love this kit! The font on “Queen Bee” is Curlz MT.
Today’s word challenge word is “garden”. Although we’ve lived in a rural area for over 23 years I’m still a city girl at heart! We planted a huge vegetable garden the first summer after we moved here. We also had 3 peach trees and a plum tree. We had a wonderful bounty but it was a lot of work. I decided to stick with the fruit and vegies at the local grocers. One thing I particularly miss is tomatoes. You just can’t beat home grown. The kit I used is a facebook freebie by Digital Design Essentials. If you’d like to get loads of freebies and play along with the word challenge go to Digi Scrapping Freebies on facebook.
