Happy 4th of July everyone..To days agenda is BBQ'ing the pool and fireworks =)

We're still having a full house here with my family visiting from Norway..so not too much scrapping and blogging time.

Yesterday we had a awesome time at the Paper Niche's midnight crop, the theme was ''4th of July '' Tammy's husband BBQ'ed some yummy hamburgers for us. I will post some pictures another day.


During the crop I did a mini class ''4th of July'' page (below) I used one of my sketches

One of the products used was Glimmer mist from Tattered Angels..just have to love them.
Check out their blog for an awesome giveaway Tattered Angels Blog Love the new labels on the bottles ..I want them all :lol:

Glimmer Mist is the same great product with a Fabulous NEW Look!

Tim Holtz "Slight Alterations"

3. This is one of my favorite pictures of the boys. The picture was taken at Ana Maria Island in the summer of 2000 . I found it yesterday in one of the old albums that I'm rescrapping and made this page with it last night using one of my sketches

4. AT&T U-Verse
We had this installed last week and we all LOVE it. We ended up whit the largest package 450 and have now more TV and radio Channel's then we will ever watch. The internet is super fast and it includes free calling within the US

5. I always make my own Alfredo sauce, but someone told me to try out the Classico Sun-dried Tomato Alfredo sauce. Served with pasta, chicken and garlic brad it is a great and fast dinner..OK I admit I add some whipping cream and some Parmesan/Romano cheese to it myself ..It makes it really yummy.

Pages from this weekend & my sketch blog

I got my February kits from Bad Girls.They are so awesome. I managed to get 2 pages done this weekend between 2 B-day parties and baseball. I have used yummy bright papers from Pink Paislee. A little bit different for me, but they did not come out to bad :lol:

TTYL..

This page is done after a sketch from Dena at Bad Girls

Cutie Pie

I also decided to do a blog with all my sketches. I have quite a bit of them that I have made through the years. This blog is still being worked on, but I got some of my sketches uploaded. You can see them right here http://ginessketches.blogspot.com/

Pencil Lines sketch # 122

My take on sketch 122 from Pencil Lines. Loved this sketch from Anna so I just had to give it a try. After forking up some $$ and letting my oldest son go to Game night Outland a local video place here, he finally let me get some pictures of him. He is such a handsome young man.

Strength

Some more pages

This first page I did for Jeni's inspirational challenge at Bad Girls project52's blog. I was inspired by her words to her daughter about inner beauty.

Natural Beauty

I used one of the butterflies I got from

Forever and always

This page is done from one of my own sketches.
The picture is of Amanda on the cruise this summer

A page for Sean

Sean wants me to make some sports pages from his games that he can hang in his room. Since it is a typical boys room painted in his football teams colors, we agreed that they would be without all the "stuff"
This is the first one

" Set"
