WARNING: This is a photo heavy post.

In June May Arts Ribbon sponsored Scrap n’ Art magazine and I received a box packed full of GORGEOUS May Arts trims. I was more than ecstatic, I was over the moon!

Here are some layouts that I created using May Arts Ribbon.

“The Little Things”

I used May Arts ribbon and lace along with My Minds Eye paper.

“The Face of an Angel”

Using May Arts ribbon and Pink Paislee paper.

“Baking Bread”

Using May Arts ribbon and lace, Echo Park paper and I tried to hand bead on cardstock.

My family and I spent some of our 4th of July weekend in Island Park at the Crabtree Family Cabin, it’s such a beautiful place.

There were piggy back rides.

Playing in the gorgeous green grass.

Riding on the back of Uncle Larry’s golf cart.

I spy a butterfly…

A game of horseshoes.

Some mild kayaking.

And some canoeing…

And a lot of Aunt Christie following Cooper around.

Cooper = cute photos.

Cooper with his pregnant mommy. Nephew #2 on the way…

We had an eventful weekend, we even attended a Rodeo (my first) it was nuts!

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful week!

I know I’ve been absent a lot this Summer…

But I’m back and ready to have some fun!

To create this ‘Sweet Baby’ layout of my Nephew, Cooper,

I used a combination of Echo Park and Sassafras Papers.

I also used some of my favorite Shimmerz products:

Chick-a-dee Spritz (Yellow), Under the Sea Blingz (light blue), and Blue By U Paintz (darker blue).

I used the Blingz around the photo mat and the frame around the word “Sweet”

I love the shimmery loveliness.

Who said you can’t use butterflies and flowers on a little boy layout?

My inspiration came from this:

I’m trying to catch up on all the palettes from The Color Room.

There is SO much inspiration over there…you simply must give them a visit if you love to scrapbook.
