OMG! We had such a good time! I took around 400 some pictures, not to mention the photopass peeps that took our pics at the parks, which is another 100! Once I figure out how to get them on my computer, I will post a few on my blog. I will be scrapbooking the rest of the summer!!
Right now, I am very depressed and will probably be worse come Wednesday when I have to go back to work. Now we are getting ready for Regan's dance revue, then I am done with school and activities till August!! Yeppie!!!

Design Team April Assignment
I forgot to post this before I left to go on vacation, but now I am back from La-La Land!
This particular challenge was very difficult to me and I think pushed me more so than any of the other challenges so far. We were given a 12 x 12 of Maya Road sheer sheet--I got the "Hearts" one. We were also given 7 Gypsies ATC cards, 2 sheets of the Core Cordinations and a Glitz doodle roller stamp that was all to be used on our layout. I was going to use pictures of me and my husband but soon scrapped that idea when I realized that I really did not have any of us that I liked, so I decided to go a different route by using pictures of my grandmother, mother, my daughter and myself.
One of the challenges was to tear and roll the edges, which I did but the color of the Core Cordinations paper did not come out like I thought it would. I used ledger paper from the pack of Making Memories to hand journal and used lace around the picture of my grandmother and mom, since that photo was the main focus for me. I did use the Bazzil scallop paper as a border. I tried to use the Glitz roller in my title and swear that I had practiced it several times before I did it on my layout and still messed it up by not pressing hard enough! I had no time to redo the layout and was not sure what I could do to fix it, so I left it alone. I used the 7 Gypsies ATC cards and the hearts from the sheer sheet as my embellishments and added some Heidi Swapp heart mirrors. The 'LOVE' in my title is from Maya Road and was one of the words that comes on a key chain pack that Janet sells at the store. I painted it black and used the new All-Purpose Ink from Fantastix (black pearl) for the sheen. I used the same technique for the wooden heart flourishes made by Kaiserscrapbook. Instead of backing the other photos, I had decided to use some old Heidi Swapp photo corners that I had forever!! So I did use an old product but not in a new way I guess !!! (which was another optional challenge).
