Getting Ready for July 4th with Stars & Stripes

Myst Designs has a great new kit out that is wonderful for all your patriotic scrapping needs. It's called Stars & Stripes. Here is the preview:

Use this link to see all of Myst's stores: http://tiny.cc/MystDesignsStores Here are a couple pages I made with the kit.

I love those old postcards, don't you? I live in Norfolk, VA and have seen the Navy's Blue Angels perform on numerous occasions. Very appropriate to scrap with this kit:

My thanks for all those who protect our freedom! And here is a little July 4th tag

Scraps from Father's Day w/ Myst Designs

Father's Day is just over but you probably still have photos you haven't scrapped yet. I got a great new masculine kit from Myst Designs called The Men In My Life, which you can find here: http://tiny.cc/MystDesignsStores I used it to scrap a layout of my Dad and I (okay, I used an older photo of me 'cause I haven't allowed photos last couple years); I call it Always Daddy's Girl. Dad is 82 and I realize I might not have him much longer although his health is pretty good. Find myself thinking a lot about things we've done over the years. While I was at it, I decided to scrap the other important men in my life like my husband: My son, Jeremy: And our oldest grandson, Tyler: We don't get to see the youngest grandson, Malachai, very often and when we do, we can't get him to keep still long enough for a photo! I'm hunting for a good photo of him to add to this little collection. I hate how I can't tell where blogger is putting the photos in relation to the text!

Lovely "September Light"

Of course I know it's not September lol. September Light is the name of a lovely new kit by Myst Designs. The coast of North Carolina is my son's favorite playground and where he plans to be married. This kit is definitely going to be used to scrap some of the wedding and reception in Nags Head. I love it because Myst has both detailed beach images and wonderfully soft abstract papers too. In all the beachy colors I love. I scrapped a few photos using this kit and some old photos of Jeremy and his girlfriend down at Hatteras and Nags Head. Ssh, don't tell but the one with Jeremy and girl fishing is an old girlfriend. It was just too perfect for the page I wanted to make. Now these are of Jeremy and Berkeley, our future daughter-in law: Yep, that's the real Hatteras lighthouse but Myst has one in the kit too in case you haven't been there ;) You've got to have this kit now, don't you?

A Spell Of Spring

Just got a wonderful spring kit from Myst Designs called A Spring Spell and want to show off some layouts I did with it. Here is my favorite which I called Twilight In The Forest Of My Dreams. I loved the forest paper and searched through my photos until I came across this extraction of granddaughter Larkin that I'd used in a Wonderland scene. Here she is a little forest elf.

Also scrapped a more recent photo of Larkin here:

Don't you love that alpha? And one of niece Joanna some years back:

And because I was having so much fun, I made a Spring tag for Myst:
