Lakeside

The official start of summer is just days away and Pebbles' Lakeside collection has been my current go-to line for making cards and scrapbook pages. 

Recently, on a trip to the Raleigh flea market I found a large cast iron pot, perfect for campfires and roasting marshmallows in the back yard. We snapped just a couple photos when we tried it out, none that were spectacular, but I love the one I used for this page because of the close-up of the marshmallow with Christopher and the iron pot in the background. It's so difficult to get Christopher in a photo since he detests having his picture taken!

Posting this page makes me want to have another camp fire this weekend! :)

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

How to Beat the Heat

Hello!

With blistering HOT temperatures covering most of the US, including North Carolina, I thought it was the perfect time to share this scrapbook page!

I'm beating the heat by scraping away inside my air conditioned craft room! And I'm using a brand new digital kit from Two Peas in a Bucket called 'Beat the Heat' by Chrissy W. Look at these fabulously colorful papers!!!

With summer in full swing, this kit is perfect for beach, pool and slip and slide pages!

This kit contains some great phrases that I used as templates to accent my page.

I LOVE stitching and got a bit carried away here with the water!

Ooh la la, I really like this umbrella. I erased the digital umbrella post before I printed it out so I could add a real wooden one...a bamboo skewer!

A few of my favorite die cuts were put to use for the sub-title strips, hidden journaling spot, title background, folder tab, and butterflies.

This picture was taken last summer on our annual beach trip...which is coming up soon. I'm so excited...it's another way to beat the heat!

Stay cool! And hopefully wet! :) Kathy
