MORE FROM THOMAS' 14TH BIRTHDAY

First up is a page I did of our dinner at Red Robin on Saturday.  I used this layout for a challenge on Colorful Creations called Use Your Stash which called for using certain items.  The items were combining a couple of pattern papers (2), getting some lace, buttons, glitter and felt and a punched border.

My layout:

Thomas has been listening to some ICP and has become a fan of Faygo soda pop and wanted this fun hat which is form one of their album covers.  For this layout I used a sketch from Sketch Inspiration.

Here is the sketch:

and finally for tonight a picture of Thomas with me!  For this layout I used a sketch from Sketches in Thyme which I rotated to accommodate my photo.

Hope that you have enjoyed a bit more of our festivities for Thomas.  More to follow as he opens more presents and we have our final celebration dinner at TGIF.  And now it's time to say good nite!  Thanks for stopping by.

HELLO SUMMER!

Welcome to Summer!  Welcome to the Welcome to Summer Blog Hop!

In case you just stumbled upon my blog the hop starts with Ashley - http://theglamoroussideofscrapping.blogspot.com.  If you are hopping along already you must have come here from Diana - www.daisylovecreations.blogspot.com.

Since this hop is all about summer and the fun we have in it I thought I'd look through my photos and find something really fun.  I saw these cute pics of my youngest son in the middle of a jump into the pool and thought they would be just perfect!  I put my layout together using a sketch I found over at Sketch Inspiration.  

It was a fun sketch and just perfect for the photos I had chosen - on the board, in the air and hitting the water with a splash!  Here's my layout.

Your next stop along the way is Tammy- http://tampatha.wordpress.com

Please make sure to stop at all the blogs along the way and leave a sweet comment for a chance to win the fun blog candy being offered by our sponsor Ashley.  I hope you have enjoyed your splash here and that you are off to the start of a fabulous fun summertime!
