Home Away from Home

Here's our little getaway at the lake. Just a one bedroom, but it's all mine! We spent vacation with the kids here. Six people and 3 dogs (small dogs, but still) It was a bit crowded, but we had a great time. You can't see the house to well for the trees, but the shade is glorious when it's hot. We ate all of our meals on the screened in porch.

Here's Katie learning how to wake board. Picked it up right away. She's a better man than me!

July Stamp of the Month card

Only a couple of days left to get this stamp set. Here is a card I made for a swap using You've Got Flair, Baby Pink Card stock, Crystal Blue Card stock, Chocolate card stock, ink and Chocolate ribbon. I used our great How To book Wishes for the pattern.

I'm just a cuttin' fool!

Just ask any of my customers who have taken a class or been in a club. I love to cut and I think it's a way to accent your pages with just a little bit of effort. Oh, they moan and groan and complain about it, but I really think they secretly like it.

Here is an example of a 2 page layout we did at the July club. With the help of Katie and Imagine, we came up with a design using the Tinkerin Level 2 paper pack. I think we ended up cutting out about 19 gears. Gear Up was the stamp set we used.

Bubba the cat fish

We went down to the lake last week to get a few things done. There is no furniture yet, just a couple of mattresses and a few chairs. It's like starting over. Katie and Kyle came down too and helped with some shopping, and cleaning. Katie caught this cat fish, but then let him go. Slowly, we will get more things done later. Had to have some fun too!
