Another sketch....

I am so thankful that I had the foresight to plan ahead for this weeks sketch at Let's Capture These Sketches....when I got home from my FABULOUS VACATION...there it was...all the pieces parts...to create!!!

Hop on over to Capture These Sketches to check out the AWESOME sketch Tara created and join in on the fun!!! Would love to see your creations!!

I'M SSSSSSOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!

My package....that was sent to Reminisce on January 12....NEXT DAY...was found TODAY!!! It was found in the Land of Misfit Packages...at least that's what I call the place! So, tomorrow it should be back home!!!

The sad part is my creations didn't get to be used as a selling tool for Reminisce at CHA ANAHEIM....after almost killing myself to get the projects done!!! enough of my whining.... at least there is summer CHA CHICAGO!!! I may just bring the projects myself to make sure they get there!!!

This layout of Lysie and Emily is a combo collection layout.....a little bit of "UNWRITTEN"and "LUCKY ME"! and their amazing.....Glitter Factory!! I wish I could show you a close up of the flower....cause it is WAY COOL.....but I don't have a picture of it!! When my box arrives...I take a closeup of it!!!

Ohhhh la la.....more peeks!!!

So, I have to say I think this is my FAVORITE line from the New Releases at Reminisce....the UnWritten Collection!!! Bright....cheery....fun....perfect to scrap ALL the pictures of my 16 year old daughter and all her gal pals!!!

The elements available in this collection are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! The border strips...the flowers....the journal decks....the frames......OH JUST ALL OF IT!!!

SO!!! Don't forget to hop on over to Reminisce and leave a comment to win some of the goodies for you very own!!!

Just had to share this....

So after spending a week basking by a pool...I went through a whole bottle of 30 spf!!! OH but SO worth it!!! I am rested and regenerated....with TONS OF PICTS to scrap....but I just had to post this one picture!!

We spent a lot of mornings getting up and going to check out the sunrise....which were amazing...but the last morning it was packing frenzy...our bags had to be outside the door by 7:15 am....now I had done most of my packing the day before....so I wandered out onto our porch and there it was....the most colorful sunset ever....Deb was still packing so I grabbed my camera and ran out the door.....and this is what I saw...

ABSOLUTELY BREATH TAKING....TO SAY THE LEAST!!!

What a way to end a FABULOUS trip!!!

I'm sure you will be seeing may more pict popping up in my layouts....
