Summer Vacation / Summer Fun by Alana McCarthy


I did one of my girl, so it is only fair that I do one of the boy, too, right?! :) I love beachy type kits! Nautical, sea, water, lake, ocean, creek, lagoon, pond, pool, you name it, I like it.
Last year, Liam only sat at the edge of the beach because he was afraid of the waves carrying him off. this year, he wasn’t scared because Daddy went with him. However, he’d come out of the water to warm up and play in the sand. He’d dig sand and put it in his pail, but had the most fun digging trenches.

Creative Fusion is LIVE @ SCRAPBOOKGRAPHICS


Creative Fusion has been released at Scrapbookgraphics just in time for Mother's Day! 26 designers came together to make coordinating designs using the same color scheme. I love the color palette, but I especially like that you can pick and choose what you want to buy. This collection has it all - gorgeous papers, stitches, staples, charms, alphas, flowers, foliage, butterflies, clusters, glitter, photoshop styles, ribbons, wordart, templates, date strips, and more.

Check it out at the Scrapbookgraphics blog and store. The catalogue features personal tidbits about the designers who contributed to the collection, and highlights layouts done by the awesome Studio Crew using the wonderful collection. I might have made a layout or two, or three or 4...LOL. 8231

Hola Evelyn

Mi Querida Hermana,

Es un placer recibir noticias tuyas y de tu familia. Me complace saber que se encuentran bien de salud y que los chiquillos estan progresando. Aunque el hecho de que son inteligentes no es nuevo puesto que siempre lo han sido.

Me sorprende de sobremanera saber que Kevyn ya esta comenzando a manejar! Siempre que pienso en el lo imagino como un chico de 2 anos, vestido en la ropa nautica que yo le compre cuando nene. El tiempo pasa rapido y antes de uno darse de cuenta los hijos han crecido y esta listos para emprender su propio destino.

De Pache te dire que esta bien aunque trabaja mucho, igual que siempre. La alergia lo esta acabando. Liam estuvo un poco enfermo hace unos cuantos dias atras. Estaba en casa de la abuela y regreso vomitando. Estuvo vomitando casi toda la noche, pero al dia siguiente estaba mucho mejor. En el dia de hoy Kaylie Kaylie se ha estado quejando del estomago.

En el dia de hoy los lleve a recortar a los dos. Kaylie esta super contenta con el pelo mas corto. Te conte que usa anteojos para ver a distancia? Se ve muy bonita.

Oh, casi se me olvida contarte que ya tengo la imprimidora/escaner, y pronto comenzare con las fotos de mami. Que dicho sea de paso, he hecho 3 paginas recientes sobre ella. Ya pronto las estare publicando aqui, al igual que las fotos recientes.

A proposito, que haces en tu nuevo trabajo?

Saludos, besos y abrazos a David, Kevyn y Kayla.
Tu hermana que mas quiere verte que escribirte,
Kait
