Kaboom!!

Oh my... I stitched, I glued, I drew, I tied, I scanned and extracted and extracted and extracted... and just squeezed by the deadline for a new kit @ MScraps, Kaboom!! It's really a cute kit, and I'm looking forward to scrapping with it. But that's why there aren't any sample pages yet. Hope you like it too!



Hope you have a lovely rest of the week! I'm so looking forward to my son being back on Saturday, accompanied by my sister, her husband, and their darling 4-almost-5 year old, Erik. Here are Erik and Allen enjoying fireworks (guess they can shoot them off anytime in Florida!) sitting on a lawnmower on a truck bed...

Skip & Splash

New kit this week based on one of my drawings: Skip & Splash! Fun, with lots of color overlays and playful elements. Great for water layouts--pool, ocean, or rain!



And some wayyyyyyy fabulous layouts:

My mother is visiting from FL (and she'll be leaving with Allen for a week--ACK!), so I've been taking more photos than usual...
