I'm back.....

and I have to share the newest Freehand Scraps Kit "Hula Hoop" that is now up for sale and can be found right HERE so please check it out because it is going FAAAAAST!

Here are the projects that I made using "Hula Hoop"
This first layout I tried to use the bits of paper to make a good old American flag....to highlight one of our favorite holidays and the fun tradition where we march around singing "you're a grand old flag" I actually put the lyrics in the journaling. I used the buttons for dimension tied with bits of baker's twine. Loved that polka dot paper!

This next layout was one that fell together easily with the enlarged photo of my little guy after just learning to ride his tricycle. He can finally reach the pedals! I loved using the tape to mat my title and have stitching through the letters. The Pink Paislee letters were perfect with this page. Loved that timecard included was such a perfect spot for some journaling.


Used bits of everything including those wonderful scrabble letters to title this one. Loved all of these papers. Cut out some of the circles and stitched them across the bottom of the layout then used a pop dot to adhere the die cut compass to the row. This picture is one from our trip to Scotland. My husband is standing in one of the oldest castles we went through while visiting. Such a beautiful place and a Good Journey.



This one is one of my families favorite for the gallery because of the fun memories we made trying on stuff at the store in the Mountains. I have alot of these photos and so I tucked the extra photos in one of the sweet little envelopes. I also did a matching 6x12 page for the journaling and the extra embellishments and envelope to rest.




This one didn't make the gallery because I was completing it the day before it went live. Pretty simple but loved that sweet swimsuit paper and had fun making it the border of the page of my kids swimming pictures from last summer.


In other news....we have been enjoying every bit of our summer. Bike rides-Halle is officially on 2 wheels not 4 and starting and stopping all on her own, tennis night, Toy Story 3-Caleb is in love with Rex the dinosaur-(calls him dinosaurio Spanish for dinosaur, he found that in a book I bought him which teaches spanish and english words for the Toy Story characters), potty training success-I haven't bought diapers in MONTHS-yay!, dance class, T-ball, Popsicles, ice cream, swimming, cooking on the grill and hanging out in our backyard, gardening, Camp Hallelujah -our version of VBS and a bit of work thrown in here and there.

What are you doing this summer? I hope you check out the new kit and the rest of the amazing design team gallery today!
