My weekend

I had such a wonderful weekend.  On Sunday, my mom, grandma, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law went to Bullets Over Broadway on tour.  It was outrageously funny, and the talent amazed me as usual.  Before we see the show each time, we enjoy a wonderful brunch.  We like to try new, local places each time.  Oklahoma City has really developed some amazing restaurants over the last 10 years.  This time we tried an amazing "old school" restaurant called Cheevers.  I order the brunch punch, that changes everyday, and the cowgirl benedict.  Instead of the usual Canadian Bacon on an English muffin with the traditional hollandaise, this had skillet potatoes on bottom, chicken fried steak and a spicy hollandaise.  It was soooo amazing, and the brunch punch was a little tart which I love.  Now I'm home, trying to find a routine for my summer break so I can get everything accomplished that I want to do while still running my children in every direction. 

Let's Get Sketchy LO

Although I don't usually do single page layouts, especially ones with just one picture, I really liked the Let's Get Sketchy sketch for the week.  Once I found this picture of my dd at an art camp, I knew I had to use the sketch.  To finish it, I used scraps from my Embellish It kit that I just finished.

Another Embellish It Kit Finished!

One more kit down.  About 50 left (LOL).  OK.  Maybe not 50, but there are still several.  These two layouts were the April 2014 kits (only two years behind...YIKES!) and feature pictures from 2010 (only 6 years behind...DOUBLE YIKES)!

Christmas card

I made this Christmas card for two challenges.  I really try to use my stash up in the summer.

Weekly Christmas Card Challenge #25 was a photo challenge

Mojo Monday 449 was a sketch challenge

The materials I used:

Paper - DCWV Christmas paper pack for the pattern paper and the glitter paper.  The Kraft paper was in my scrap stash.

Ribbon - from  my stash

Embellishments - the "Merry Christmas" and the candy canes were from HOTP

Embellish It Kits

One of my goals for the summer is to complete some of the MANY kits I have in my stash.  I used to subscribe to so many kits but found I never made them.  Here are the two layouts I made using the Embellish It kits from March 2014!

The pictures are from 2010.  The top layout includes pictures from our school's Spirit Week and the kit used MME paper and embellishments.  The bottom layout has pictures of my kids and other family at a wedding back in 2010 and also uses paper and embellishments from MME.

Summber Break!

Has officially started.  It's been a long time since I've blog or entered challenges or read a book.  My summer goal for myself is to become more involved in the things I love!  Here's to a little free time and fun this summer!
