Labor day!

We had a great day today. After we all got up and ate breakfast, we got ready and went to look at a Hud House. Well it was CRAP!!! I would NOT even think about wasting money on that thing. But there is another house that we saw when we were yard sale shopping a couple weekends ago and I had picked up a flyer. Well the flyers ALWAYS stay in my car forever!! Well Kaelin asked to look at them about a week ago. And she said "Mommy, I like THIS house!" I said,"Okay tell your daddy." So she showed him. Today while we were out I made him drive by it. It is empty so we got out and looked in the windows and walked in the backyard. It needs a little work, not much. PLUS it has a double garage in the back that was a workshop. It still has all the counter space in there. It has electricity. IT IS PERFECT as a scrapbook space/Kids space/and even Chris space. We would have to work with a little for it to be that but it CAN be done. Tomorrow we are calling the realtor so we can go look at it!!! I am actually kinda excited about it. After that we can home to eat lunch and let the baby sleep. Then we all went to the park. The kids had such a good time!! I got some of the CUTEST pictures.









Well today was DAY 2 of the challenge. Here was the challenge:

LAYOUTS!!

Today's challenge is to create the base for the layout and decide upon the placement for the photos that were prepared yesterday.

1. Prepare a base for the layout using 2 different colors of cardstock, 2 different pattern papers and ribbon.

2. Attach the photographs to the base.


CARDS!!!!

While at convention we heard the story of Thanh. A very heartbreaking story!!!! Read his testimonial here:

So today we will be using a light blue ("Blue Sky") and yellow ("...future filled with sunshine.") to make an inspirational card!

You must use those 2 colors but if you need to add another you can.

This card should have a piece of ribbon, fiber, waxy flax, or anything else you can think of.

And here is what I came up with!!!



And I decided today that each week I will do a page for each of the kids albums!! And here is Kaelin's
