More Water Park Fun

Good morning! I'm back to show you the other two pages I made from Great Wolf Lodge.  I gotta say...I've been to a Great Wolf Lodge before and while the one we went to last week is smaller it is still lots of fun!  I again used the kit Woodland Winter for these photos. 

These photos are just of the water park itself.  Kyler was so excited to go down the big slides but his friend was not so we took Kyler down one.  When his friend saw how much fun Kyler had he wanted to go on it too.  There was a slide called The Tornado and it was, I admit, a bit scary.  I screamed pretty loudly each time Todd and I went on it even though I knew what was coming up.  Kyler's friend didn't like that one at all so they only went on it once.  I gotta tell ya...I loved spending that time with my boys!

I am hoping to get the chance to make a card today so check back tomorrow to see that.  Otherwise I have some more fun scrapbook pages to show you!  Have a great day everyone!

Don't forget...you can enter to win a copy of the scrapbooking software I use.  Just click over to THIS post to see what you need to do to enter!

Great Wolf Lodge

Good morning! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and Monday! What is new with everyone? It is pretty much same stuff different day here.  I have several scrapbook pages to show you this week plus a card or two so hang in there! 

The first two pages to share are of our trip to Great Wolf Lodge.  Like I told you guys before Kyler got to have a friend come with, Josh.  He and Josh are great buddies so it was really a fun time for them.  These pages are made with the Woodland Winter Kit from A-Manda Creation.  This kit was perfect for my pages of the trip except for the fact that there was no wolf in the embellishment pack...which I thought was kinda funny.  I don't think it matters much, how about you?

There are actually two more pages of photos from the inside of the water park itself that I made as well so you'll be seeing those soon too! 

Don't forget you can win yourself a copy of MyMemories Suite software...just check out THIS post.

What's Cooking? And A Giveaway!

Good morning and welcome to the weekend! I hope you have some time this weekend to just relax a little...maybe craft a little, too!  So today I get to show you something I made with MyMemories Suite that is other than a scrapbook page and I get to give something away!  Ready?

First, a little background.  I've been making a lot of recipes from Skinny Taste.  Gina's recipes are always delish, easy to make, and good for ya too!  Because I print the recipe out from the site I've had to print them more than once so Todd had the idea of making a 3-ring binder up for the recipes.  Welllll...that is a good idea!  So above is the 8 1/2 x 11 page that I put in the outer pouch of the binder.  Gotta have something kinda cute, right?  It was super easy to make and fun to look at so a double bonus there!

Then I decided I would make a menu page.  I wish I would have thought of this one a LONG time ago...when all three boys would ask regularly...what's for dinner?  This was pretty easy to make, too.  The day divider, stitching, always kicks my butt however over all it was easy to do!

And here is a photo of the finished product.  I placed the menu in a document frame and then write on the frame with a dry erase marker (I got a set of three at the dollar tree!).  I really love this project today...do you?

Do you wish you had the software to make this type of project or maybe to work on digital scrapping your life?  Do you know how much I love MMS and would like to try it for yourself?  Welllll...guess what? I get to give away a copy of MyMemories Suite to one of my blog readers!  Yippee!  What do you need to do?

1.  Like MyMemories Suite on Facebook.  Why am I making this a requirement?  'Cuz it is such a fantastic page to learn how to use MMS and to show off your amazing work.
2.  Go to MMS, take a look around and then let me know which kit(s) you would really like to have.
3.  And finally, if you are not already a follower of my blog...why not sign up to follow me?  You'll want to know if you win, right?

So, that will give you up to three chances to win.  Please leave a separate comment for each chance you get.  I will leave this give away open for a week so please comment by Feb 11 at 8 pm PT.  I will announce the winner on Sunday next week...February 12th!

Just Be Yourself!

Good morning friends! It has been such a busy week...I'm doing a happy dance to be at Friday! I've had several fun things going on...on Monday afternoon we went to Great Wolf Lodge to take a fun mid-winter break.  The water park was so fun and Kyler and his friend loved it!  Yesterday I got my kit for Lemongrass Spa.  LGS is a fabulous company that has handmade, natural skin care products that are safe, affordable and immensely enjoyable.  You can check it out HERE.  And today is Sketches by Carly day.  It is always fun to create for SBC! 

So...today's sketch is sponsored by Di's Digi Downloads.  The winner will receive a $10 gift voucher to spend at the store.   Today, for the first time ever, I created my card in MyMemories Suite so this is an fully digital made card.  The wings of the bees have smooch on them and the camera lens has glossy accent on it.  It was fun to experiment with digital card making!

Here is the inside of the card. I really liked the sentiment that came with this kit so I used a nestability to cut it out and use it on the inside of the card. 

And finally, it was fun to make the signature and a little bee on the back of the card.  You should give it a try sometime!  Make sure you check out the sketch and the sketch rules at SBC and then get busy playing along!  You'll have two weeks to enter the challenge. 

Tomorrow is a special, fun day on my blog.  I have a giveaway for you all so I hope you'll stop by and check that out!  Have a fantastic Friday everyone!
