Little Boys and the Outdoors

My Grandson, Mallory, loves to be outside, big problem there is he has to taste of everything he finds. Almost every photo I have of him he has something in his hand on the way to his mouth, or it is already there...LOL Also the mosquitoes, that we are so famous for, think he is the sweetest dessert in town, regardless of which repellent I use, so outside time is very limited. When he is outside I try to grab as many photos as possible to scrap.

Now that brings me to another reason for this post. As you know I have been trying to make Freebies using that great Backyard Playground by the designers at ADSD and today I have a QP for you all. I made a layout featuring Mallory and thought why not also make it a QP for you all.

Here is the layout and below that will be a preview of the QP and the link

With just a tiny bit of changing here is the QP.

Well now I am off to start on my next project, hope everyone has a wonderful day and a very safe weekend,

Boo's Looking for a helper

Oh my gosh, I keep forgetting I have a blog...LOL I spend so much time looking at other blogs and working on the Boo's Blossoms Blog I forget mine. Today I will show off some of the things I have been working on after I show you what is going on in Boo's World. Boo has been so busy, joined a couple of new stores DOS and Commercial-Use.com. She is so busy and keeping us that way also, that she needs some help, in the form of a person to post her ads.

With Boo joining the new stores, of course she has to make new kits, and she certainly has been busy. Here are a couple she has at DSO Faded Bouquet

And this one Boo'Licious

Here are the layouts I made using these kits. First will be from Faded Bouquet

Not much going on here, it is hot and dry and my poor yard shows it already. Last year we had so much rain, and now this year very tiny sprinklings, oh well that is why most of my plants will make it either way. Off to she what all I can find to get into today, probably nothing except maybe a late lunch out and a walk through at Wally World, I lead such an exciting life.....NOT

Cannot beleive it is already April

This month is going to be busy I can tell. The 19th is Brianna's Birthday and she will be 13, seems like only yesterday she was 3. She stay very busy and of course that means we stay busy, going to her sporting events and playing taxi driver.. I thought when your kids got grown, you were through with all those fun things, but I guess I was wrong.

Things are humming over at the Boo's Blossoms Blog . Our first competition starts today, PLUS BooLandDesigns has created some wonderful new kits. She even created one for each of the 15 Creative Team Members, using our favorite colors. She has several new kits and since I haven't gotten them yet, I cannot even show you the previews but will get thos doen soon.

I also am on the Creative Team for Tina Williams Designs, and she has a beautiful new kit in her Faith Based Series and it is GRACE. It is the 14th kit in that series. You can find the entire series here at her Store .

Most of the heritage pages I have done have been with Tina's kits, I find them to work wonderfully with the photos I wanted to scrap. I actually just finished 2 double page LOs and one single page with this kit. I had scanned a group of old pictures and in it was some of my BirthMother, also named Lois. The following pages are about her;

I never really had a chance to know Lois, though I am named for her. We lived in different
parts of Texas, and I only saw her once every few years. Created as CT for Tina Williams

I have been told my Birth Mother had a wacky sense of humor and these old photos really show it. Both were taken in the 50's.Created as CT for Tina Williams and Templates-n-More, TrishH Designs.

In that same dayof scanning, I found these great pictures of my Niece Kelli, taken at my Dad's house in Cleveland Texas, way back in 1979.

Kelli is the oldest child of my brother Bubba and Sheila. Created as CT

Hump Day and Beautiful Weather

Finally 2 pretty days in a row, YEA!!!!! OK, it is a little cooler than I like but still the sky is blue and the wind isn't blowing, so it is wonderful.

Our Boo has created another beautiful kit, and it is called 'Everything You Are' and can be found at SAS, CLD and at DID. It is full of beautiful papers and some very pretty elements. I loved the shades of gray she used and the brighter pinks.

Of course I had to make a few layouts to see what it would do. The first one 'Our Brianna' is made using only papers (and a very nice Template from Colie's Corner and Eye Candy 4000 Glass)

This one 'Wedding Day' I did just the opposite, 1 paper and LOTS of pretties to make the LO shine. The photo was 'borrowed' from the web since I didn't have one scanned of an old wedding. A little side note, the Bride wore Black, since in that timeframe, it was only the wealthy that could afford to have a white dress. You only made things you could use again, and white wasn't very useful as a day to day dress.

Well I am off to do the dreaded laundry, since it is white stuff I sure hope the water stays clear. Way too often it gets rusty before the load is finished and I then have to try to get out the stains. YUK
