LGS June Week 3 – Fresh is Best

Gosh! Is it the third week of June already?! Where has the time gone? Clearly Monday snuck up on me this week as I forgot to get this post scheduled ahead of time. Oh well. I blame this head cold I caught on Saturday. Somehow everything is fuzzy …

But it is indeed Monday again and that means there’s a new sketch challenge up at Let’s Get Sketchy. This week our sketch is by our fearless leader, Brenshevia.

SWAT Drill #10 – Summertime Fun?

Happy Saturday everyone! Hope the sun is shining where you live. Today on the SWAT blog we are inspiring you with some layouts featuring summertime activities and sunshine … well, mostly sunshine. 🙂 Confused? My little layout asks the question (that is asked a fair bit in these parts) “Where’s the sun?”

Double Page Layout for Practical Scrappers

Ooops, forgot to get this up earlier! Better late than never though, right?

Ever have one of those days where you just really want to crawl back into bed? That was today. I was SO tired! Even checking my email seemed to exhausting. It’s now almost 8PM and I am finally feeling a tiny bit of energy. Just in time for bed time!! 🙂

But I digress (and whine and that’s not the type of wine I enjoy!!) Today over at Practical Scrappers, our new and improved Specialty Team (check out all our designers – new and old-  here) is sharing what can be done when you double your pleasure, double your fun (you’ll be singing that later!) We all created a double page layout for you. Here’s mine …

SWAT Drill #9 – Colour Palette Challenge

Good Saturday morning everyone!

When you read this I will be relaxing in the sunny Okanagan with some girl friends.

Ah!

A Girls Weekend!

No kids.

No husband.

Nothing to do except relax, read a book and have adult conversations.

Sounds like heaven!! As I write this I still need to pack but I had to make sure this was all set up to go as I’m not sure what, if any, wifi access I’ll have. Unplugging sounds nice too!

Today also marks the first day of June (when did that happen?!) and another challenge over at SWAT. This week’s challenge is a colour combination one. And this one got me in the mood for my weekend away. Check it out.

Doesn’t that just scream summertime and pools?
