Reign Renaissance - Weekend #2

Good morning and happy Friday!  Yesterday was the first day of the second weekend of Treasured Memories Rayne Scrapbooking Event.  One of the most fun things are the table decorations where the crop participants try to out-do each other.  The displays are absolutely amazing.  Some ladies have been working on theirs for nearly a year, since the theme was first announced.  The theme this year was Reign Renaissance.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day and a safe and restful weekend.

Tea Party, Louisiana Style

Good morning and happy Wednesday!  We are between events in Louisiana so we're able to take it easy a little bit.  Yesterday my friend Vicky & I went to La Madeleine for lunch.  Here we are messing around with a stack of tea pots.  And yes, they are all glued together!  Everyone knows that I cannot even carry a glass of water to the table without spilling it.

Later in the afternoon, I made this layout in which to put the pictures.  It is made from papers from Heartfelt Creations.

Hike

Good morning and happy Tuesday.

Last month we went on vacation.  One of our stops was in the Great Smokey Mountains.  Here we got to engage in many outdoor activities, including hiking.  One trail was high up in the mountains, but it was very smooth.  Unfortunately, this was not adventurous enough for Andrew and Carolina, so they decided to climb up some rocks on the side of the trail.

Here's the new layout where these photos are going to be preserved.

Rayne Renaissance Event

Good morning and happy Monday!  Well, the first weekend of the Rayne Scrapbooking Event is over.  It is sad, but knowing that in just a few days that there's another is a wonderful thing.

The theme this year was Renaissance.  Everybody was really getting into the theme (well, most everybody).

Here's our amazing host, Janet, getting into the theme.

Here's Khaleessi Janet, Mother of Dragons, with her two escorts.

OK, I finally decided to get into it.  Here's Queen Beatriz (Queen Bea is someone else.)

And just so you don't think that it was all fun and games, here's one of the layouts and kits that we made.  Wait a minute!  That's fun and games, too!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Wonder Woman

Good morning and happy Friday!  Wow. what a great time we had at the Rayne Scrapbooking Event yesterday.  I'm expecting today to be even better!

You know, people are starting to call me Wonder Woman, as in "I wonder where I left my phone" or "I wonder where my car is parked." or "I wonder where my keys are."  So in honor of that plus the new movie, here's a layout kit of my appropriately titled Wonder Woman!

Scraping My Heart Out

Good morning and happy Thursday!  Today starts the first weekend of the Rayne Event sponsored by Treasured Memories.  We drove over yesterday and cannot wait for the festivities to begin.  I definitely plan to Scrap My Heart Out, just like the title of this layout says.

Stay tuned to this blog and to my Facebook page for updates on the event.  And thanks for visiting my blog today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Fun Weekend in Orlando

Happy Tuesday! Hope you had a fabulous and restful weekend. I attended a crop at Coronado Springs Resort in Disney sponsored by Craft Escapes. It was soooo much fun! Their events are always over the top. I got to wear my two Disney LuLaRoe leggings and so did many friends at the crop. It's awesome to be "over the hill" like me because you get to wear things like that!

Here are some of the layouts I made. Hope you like them!

Thank you for stopping by! Have a blessed and joyful day!

Chill Out

Good morning and happy Friday!  Tomorrow afternoon I will be teaching a class at The Crafty Dreamers Craft Escapes in Orlando.  The layout that I will be teaching is shown below.

I will be teaching several techniques in the completion of this project.  You actually don't have to be signed up for the Craft Escapes event to take the class.  If you are in the Orlando area and would like to participate, just send me an e-mail and I will respond with the details.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful and blessed day and a safe and restful weekend.

Cars

Good morning and happy Thursday!  I've heard it said that the only difference between men and boys is the cost of their toys.  Here's a picture of my grandson Landon with one of his toys ...

... and here's a picture of his father with one of his.

Here's a layout that I mad yesterday that will be perfect for these two photos.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Summer Project

Good morning and happy Wednesday!  The week is half over.  More than half for me because I leave for the Craft Escape at Coronado Springs, Orlando on Friday morning.  The car is gassed up and I'm ready to go.

This Summer, Andrew is going to camp at his pre-school and Carolina is spending a lot of time with her schoolteacher father who is off for the Summer.  Nonetheless, I still have them over several afternoons a week.  We started a project which is a large world map that needs to be colored.  It's so big that it takes up the entire dining room table.  They're doing it in "mixed media".  Some days they're using Crayolas, another day it will be markers and other days it will be water color paint.

Andrew already knows most of the countries.  The only issues we're having is that Andrew is not pleased with his sister's coloring skills.  (She does not stay within the lines as well as he does.)

Here's a layout that I can use to put photos like the one above.  They can travel all around the world with ever leaving my dining room!

Thanks for visiting today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day!

More Patriotic Layouts

Good morning and happy Tuesday.  Hope that you are all doing well and continue to carry that 4th of July pride in your heart.  For me, who was not born in this country, I carry it with me every day of the year!

This past weekend I had a bunch of Independence Day stuff and a bit of time on my hands so I made these three last layouts.

They are available for purchase, but they are only originals, not kits.  Let me know.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day today!

... a Three Hour Tour ...

Good morning and happy Monday.  I hope that your weekend went well and that you're ready for another week.

Here's a couple of pictures of my daughter and her family on a boat trip this weekend on the Gulf of Mexico.  They had a great time.

Well, it wasn't exactly a cruise, but this may be the layout that these photos are going into.

Thanks for your visit today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day!

At the Pool

Good morning and happy Friday!  I hope that you had a great week and have some terrific plans for the weekend.

Here is a new layout kit that was recently added to this blog.  It's about one of those great Summertime activities.  It's titled At the Pool.

And here are a couple of pictures of my daughter and her two little ones enjoying their day at the pool!
