A Tapestry of Family

 

 

Good Morning blog hoppers!!  I loved the November kit with it's rich colors.  Sadly, I have been working 6 days a week so not finding much time in my craft room.  I was able to have some fun with my kit.

 

 

I just love a challenge, especially a sketch challenge.  This month there was an awesome sketch to work with.  I made this page using the sketch:

 

I made this layout using the sketch:

 

 

This is our granddaughter, Allie. 

 

I also did these 2 layouts:

This is our grandson, Ashton

This is our youngest granddaughter, Allison.  I loved this kit and all the vibrant colors of the kit.  I am hoping to work with my kit some more next weekend.  I love the blog hops and all of the inspiration that I get from all my fellow scrappers.  Here is the list of the blog hop:

Time to "Capture" the kit at Clique Kits

It's that time again are you ready to hop?  Welcome to the September Clique Kit blog hop.  This month we are using the Capture kit containing Cocoa Vanilla's collection, Hello Lovely.

 

 

I have loved this collection since I got a glimpse of it.  I was over the moon when I found out it was being featured in our kit.  I had a  wonderful time working with this kit and all the soft colors. 

 

This is my oldest granddaughter, Allie.  She was out trying to walk in the grass.

My grandson, Michael, riding the monorail into the Magic Kingdom.

Michael hanging out in the nightstand.

Our beautiful daughter, Stacey, and her son, Michael when he was in the NICU.

An old photo from the archives, this is my brother, Kyle.......a few years ago.  He spent a lot of his childhood wearing out the wheels on SEVERAL Big wheels!!

Thank you so much for  stopping by today.  If for some reason you missed anyone, here is the list of the blog hop:

This was such a fun kit.  I loved all the bright colors.  I think I got quite a bit of the add-on  papers, too. 

Here are my layouts for this month:

Our family this summer.

Our grandson, Michael, with his bubble gun.  He has had more fun with this thing. 

My other grandkids, Ashton, Eli and Allie and their cousin, Carson.
