This is my second hybrid project! I used a pyramid box template by Purple Cherry Designs, and Aventure from Julie. Itis. Basically you decorate it digitally and then print it out and assemble. I decided to make mine into a photo holder.

Julie. It is. has a beautiful new kit out today called Silver Peony. It reminded me of the foggy beaches of my home town, so I scrapped some photos of our visit there last summer.

Can you believe it's already June??? Time for the Enchanted Studio Scraps June CAC (Create A Collab). The title this month is Fruity Patootie. It's a great collab with awesome summer colors. And for one week only you can build your collab at only $1 per pack. Sugar Pie Scraps has an alpha pack, element pack, paper pack and a template pack all only $1 each! Hurry over to her store at ESS to take advantage of this great deal!!

Today we went to Elitch's for a little while. Since we have season passes, we don't feel the need to stay forever and get our money's worth, which is nice! It was not warm enough for the water park, so we just did the rides. The kids tried a new ride, the big swings, which they really liked. I tried to get them on it last year, but they didn't want to, even though it's a mellow ride. Owen keeps saying he wants to try and wooden roller coaster, but I'm not sure he's ready for that yet! Luckily I like all rides, so I will go with him if he does really want to go. I went on a big ride while Scot took the kids on the swings again. It was fun, but I didn't feel great afterwards. I am so mad that I can't seem to handle that kind of stuff anymore. It must be an age thing, but that doesn't make me feel better about it...

I also did a night owl speed scrap last night. It was at a perfect time for me, after the kids were in bed and so there were no distractions.

I joined a contest at Stuff to Scrap called This Scrapper's Got Talent. I don't know how long I will last before elimination, but it's always fun to try these little contests. Our topic for week 1 was to scrap about ourselves using only 1-2 photos, using the words I am somewhere, and not having any complete sentences in our journalling. It is not my favorite topic and I have already done a couple "me" layouts for some kit releases, but I had a new photo to work with from New York, so I decided to focus on the one part of me that never seems to change!



I also had my first foray into hybrid scrapping, which means combining digital with paper. I used a template to make this bag digitally, printed it out on photo paper, and assembled it. You could also print out the template onto patterned cardstock and do it that way, but it was fun to put different papers on the sides of the bag.

Sugar Pie Scraps has a sale going on this weekend only! Here store is here.

Roof is done, and most of the gutters. They are coming back tomorrow to finish up. In the meantime, I have managed to get some layouts done after getting back from New York.

I finally scrapped our stop at Real Goods a couple years ago on the way to Monterey, using Sonny by Brittbree:
