Today was a nice quiet day for me. I slept until 10 then worked out for 2 hours on the wii fit. This evening my friends and I walked down the road to get dinner and drinks. If only I could find a way to get paid for spending my days like this. LOL!

It's Wednesday!

It's Wednesday and that means it's the last day Nicole of Digi-designs by Nicole is having her blogoversary sale. If you haven't visited her store yet make sure you do it today!

I love this kit called Funky Love. It's full of bright cheery colors and can be used for so much more than just Valentine's Day layouts. How about pictures from the prom or from first dates? The possibilities are endless! Just look at this preview...

A Rainy Day

For the last couple of days the rain has stayed north of us, but today we weren't so lucky. It's been a cloudy stormy day. YUCK!

I ran out to do some errands today and had to buy gas for the car. This was the first tank of gas I've bought since we got out of school in June. Now, I know lots of you wish you could go for a month and a half on one tank of gas, but last summer I actually made it to the first of August before I had to refill the car. That's the joys of living where you can walk almost anywhere you want to go---except when it storms!

I wanted to share another layout I made with Deanna's Summer's Afternoon Kit. Yesterday I worked with the orange colors in the kit and today I played with the purple...



I know I need a title or some journaling on the page, but I'm waiting to see what my friend thinks I should put on there. Do you guys have any suggestions?

I also wanted to tell you guys about another one of Nicole's kits that I just love! It's called Candy Coatings and it's on sale at Stuff to Scrap. I think it would be perfect to scrap pictures from a pre-teen girls party or even a mommy & daughter day. It's bright and cheerful and full of adorable elements. Just look at this preview...



Now I have to go watch the Big Brother after hours show and see what that dork Ronnie is doing now. I am totally on team Jeff/Jordan! Enjoy your day!

I'm so sorry!

I forgot to put the link for today's wordart in the earlier post. SORRY!

Summer's Afternoon

Today was a great big do nothing day for me. I didn't even shower until after 6:00 PM. I know that's sad, but what can I say---I'm on vacation. LOL!

Now that I seem to have my computer and external hard drive playing nicely my printer wants to act up. It's just not fair!

Deanna has another great summer kit. It's called Summer's Afternoon and you can pick up the first part of the kit on her blog today. Check out this awesome preview...



Now, I know the kit is called Summer's Afternoon but I made a summer sunset layout with it. Take a look...

Tranquility

Today was so much fun! We had a surprise party for my friend's husband that turned out not to be much of a surprise at all. He humored us all though and didn't ruin it by saying he knew what we were up to until the party was over.

So, can we all use a little tranquility? Shel is doing her part to help us get some with this awesome kit she's giving away on her blog. the colors are soft and relaxing. Just look at this preview...



I made this layout using the kit...



I just love lighthouses and I thought this kit was perfect for some of my pictures. I'm sure you've got pictures that make you think of tranquility too so head on over to Shel Belle Scraps and pick up the first part of the kit.

I pulled out April's Positively Paisley kit and made another layout. I'm really happy with how this one turned out. I hope my friend and her daughter like it too!



Remember this kit is 50% just like the rest of April's things in the Scrap it Sassy Store!

Look at this wonderful kit called Cherish from Digi-Designs by Nicole...



I think it's a great kit to use when you want to scrap baby pictures but don't want to use the traditional pink or blue. It's a huge kit with 13 papers, 45 elements and a full alphabet. You can pick this wonderful kit up in the Stuff to Scrap store for only $3.99

A Smoky Day

Download wordart here

We had a very smoky day here. One of the waterfront mansions caught on fire this morning and as of ten o'clock tonight the firefighters were still fighting hot spots. That's after a day of trying to control the flames from the ground and from the fire boats on the water. The house was built in 1925 and looked like a castle with turrets, iron gates, a drawbridge and even a moat. It was very unique and looked out of place so lots of locals didn't like it and called it "an eyesore".

So far they don't know what started the fire, but the house has been sitting empty for awhile now. It's a prime piece of property on the water with neighbors like Calvin Klein.

I guess not spending the day with my friends was a good thing because I actually got a lot done! I wonder how long this bout of energy will last? LOL!

I've had the Rainbow Connection Kit by Carol's Digiscrap Creations for a long time now and I pulled it out to play with tonight. I used some pictures of my friend's daughter and made this layout...



This kit is great and has so many different colors and elements in it that it can be used for all kinds of pictures. It's also on sell now for 30% off in Carol's Store at Cool Scraps Digital
