BUILDING SANDCASTLES!

I have another fun layout to share with you today from one of our beach trips back in 1996.  This is my sample page for challenge UUS20 that I am hosting over at Soul Scrappers.  It is for using up our scraps - and this month we are using diecuts.  I was so excited to get to use these particular diecuts as I received them in a swap I participated in at a Yahoo Group that I was in called KroppinKids.  

Here is the layout - 

and here is a close-up of the super cute diecuts - 

and some other fun close-ups 

 

this cute little guy is now 22!  It's my eldest son Robert...

Here we are relaxing when Robert tells us it's time to build a sand castle.

and HERE is our castle!

And, the papers are also from the fun Echo Park collection "SPLASH"!

I hope that you have enjoyed this blast from the past and will pull out some diecuts of your own and join in my challenge.

HAPPY SUNDAY!

Happy Sunday!  What a good day I had today.  First church then teaching the teen Sunday School class.  Today I did art journaling with them incorpoating scripture.  They had a lot of fun.  It is so good to be able to share creativity.  Then I had a nice nap, some prayer time and went to a great woman's meeting.  Came home, had dinner and created a card for the following challenges:

I used this sketch from Critter Sketch challenges:

ABC Christmas - A is for Animals - penguin

Die-Cuttin Divas - Penguins - the penguin is a stamp.  My diecuts are the white rectangle that the penguin is stamped on which is the center of a Sizzix frame and the snowflake which is a Sizzlets die.

Here is my card:

Hope that you enjoyed stopping by and that you too had a Happy Sunday!
