So, I was in a pretty good routine posting here, and then…hello baseball season! Oh, and the end of the year madness. I’m struggling to catch a breath these days, but here in a few weeks I will get to take a really big deep breath for the whole summer!
I’m just going to skip to the chase and post all the layouts I’ve done recently and hopefully get back on track this weekend! Some were done as CT layouts, and others as part of all the festivities for iNSD, which I didn’t get to really get in to as much as I would have liked.

I love Saturdays, especially the evening after all the chores are done, the house is clean, and I am looking forward to just surfing around and admiring all the beautiful layouts in the galleries.
I thought I’d stop and take a few minutes to come by and share my layouts for this past week. Click on the photos to take you to the shops!!
Just Jaimee’s new templates for this week are awesome!! And inspired by one of my favorite scrappers – MissLoveScraps. I also used the April Storyteller Collection for this one.

Tomorrow, I intend on getting caught back up on my Life in Pockets and get some updated planner pictures. I am wayyy behind on that! Hope you all have a great rest of the weekend!! Peace, out…
This is what I need more of these days…simplicity! The last month or so has been a big crazy, sad, stressful blur. Simplicity is so underrated.
I’ve really needed it in my scrpabooking life, too. Â I thought I would take a minute to share the layouts that I did for Simple Scrapper this month. I love being a part of the team at Simple Scrapper. I really feel like it helps me to create some meaningful, purposeful layouts and inspires me to create pages that I may not have thought of otherwise. The Premium Membership offers exclusive content and a supportive, generous, and inspiring community. Some of the benefits include a private Facebook group, Spark Magazine, chats, podcasts, sketches, and story starters. Totally awesome! And here are my pages for this month

Wednesday also means it is SOSN at The Lilypad! So many great deals to be had. I didn’t get an opportunity to play with much, but I did get a new page done with Danyale’s Morning Coffee Kit and Word Art. It also uses Valorie Wibbens amazing new templates – A Bit Worn Topography No. 2Â
Hope the rest of the week brings more simplicity!! Peace, out…
I love them both! Especially together when the weather is really is as awesome as it was today. Things are starting to get back to normal around here after the last few weeks. It really was draining and exhausting. I all in for a little normalcy. Baseball practice has officially started and school work is getting crazy. It’s that time of year and I am so happy to have it here.
I wanted to take a minute to come by and share some new releases for this week while they are still on sale, and a couple of pages from earlier in the week that I didn’t get a chance to share. I’ll start with a couple of layouts that I did this past week. These are no longer on sale, but still gorgeous at their regular price!!

This has really been a rough couple of weeks for my family. I mentioned in my post last week that we just attended the funeral for one of my uncles, and then on Monday we got the news that another of my uncles had passed away. We’ll be attending his funeral tomorrow. They both led long full lives, but it is still so hard to let go and say good-bye. I have no doubt that those two and my dad are filling Heaven with some serious laughter!! Oh my, the stories those boys could tell. All of us could sit and listen to them for hours! I need to take some time at some point to tell some of their stories.
I guess that goes back again to why I take time to scrapbook. To tell the stories, even if it is only with pictures sometimes. I’m not the best journaler, but I am trying! I am thankful to find a little down time tonight to come by and share new layouts with my designers amazing new products for this week!
At The Lilypad, Etc. by Danyale has a new chapter in her Lifetime Stories series. I used the original in this layout as well and everything works so beautifully together.

I’m off to get some things put in my planner, totally behind on updating it! Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!! Peace, out…
This last week has certainly been a roller coaster!! Normally I love roller coasters, but not particularly the emotional kind. It started with my daughter’s announcement that I’m pretty sure I mentioned in the last post and ended with spending the day yesterday at my uncle’s funeral. Throw a little baseball and some painting in there, and it was one heck of a week. I also have another uncle who is not doing well and will probably not be with us much longer. My dad had 3 brothers and 1 sister. My dad passed away almost 4 years ago, my aunt 2 years ago, and now another. I absolutely think that the hardest part about getting older is losing loved ones and watching them get older, realizing they won’t be here forever.
I guess part of the reason I scrapbook is to remember the good, happy times and divert my attention from the hard times. One of these days, I need to go to my mom’s and gather all the older photos…start preserving those memories. This week I scrapped some older photos and some newer ones. I love going back and picking out memories from when my children were younger, remembering and retelling those stories.
Here’s is some of the awesomeness you can find in the stores this week:

Today, I have to get my house cleaned up! It is a complete disaster!! Then I hope to catch up on PL and my planner a bit, if I get some down time. Hope you have a blessed week!! Peace, out…
I hope that you all are having a wonderfully blessed day! It’s been pretty quiet around here today. We had Easter dinner yesterday when most of the kiddos could be here. We were only missing my sweet daughter-in-law, who had to work. The life of EMS. It was great having everyone here and the weather was fantastic. The kids were able to hunt eggs and play outside most of the time. My daughter surprised me with an Easter basket and inside was a photo of my new grand baby…coming in October!! Exciting!! She will be a good mommy 🙂
I thought I’d take a few to come by and share my pages for this week. If you happen to be shopping this evening, you can find these gorgeous new releases in the shops!!

I haven’t take much scrapping time this weekend. I’ve been doing some painting around the house with the little bit of spring break we get. Tomorrow is the last day and we will be spending it out looking for baseball cleats. I might try to squeeze some in tonight or tomorrow night.
Have a lovely rest of your Easter day. Thanks for looking!! Peace, out…
Who me? Caught up on some things? No way!! Oh but I am. And, it appears, talking to myself haha. But I am officially caught up on my Life in Pockets and Planner Pages! I thought I’d take just a minute to come by and share those!!

And my most recent planner pages. Last week all filled in and this week “before the pen”. I love being able to add the little photos for the week and a journal card to document what’s going on. These all use Just Jaimee’s Story Planner March Kit.

I really missed my planner over the weekend!! I had sticky notes everywhere haha. Hope you’ve had a fabulous Monday and thanks for looking!! Peace, out…
Well, this week started off fantastic. The temperatures were close to 80 every day and it was just beautiful. Then BAM, today it is in the 40’s and supposed to be the same for tomorrow with the possibility of some snow. I am not happy about that. Fortunately, by mid week it’s supposed to be back to the 70’s, so I guess I will survive.
I’ve been working on getting my PL all up to date and just have this week to go, but I thought I’d come by and share some of the fabulous new releases while they are still on sale! My designers out-do themselves week after week!!

Hope you all are having a fantastic weekend, and Happy Spring!!! Peace, out…
All kinds of sales! Bring them on! I very seldom buy anything that is not on sale and I am proud to say that I have even trained my daughter to head straight for the clearance racks no matter where we go!!
The same holds true for digiscrapping! I love the sales!! And there are some great ones going on right now!!
First up, it’s SOSN at The Lilypad!! I love it so much!! Here are just a few of the goodies you can find 50% off for one day only…
