SOC Hot Fun in the Summertime Blog Hop: Day 2


Summertime is for Grilling!

   There are two men in my family that can throw down on the Grill! Hon-neey, my Uncle Charles and my cousin Kevin are the real grill masters. This must be a man thing. No matter how hot it is outside, they do not leave the grill. I don’t know what their secret is; but the meat and vegetables are always perfectly seasoned. Yum, yum.
Who is the grill master of your family? Do you attempt to grill?

(Mr. & Mrs. Olden, my cousins. they are are a grilling team.)

This layout was a challenge because it's all about Kevin and Sugar on the grill. I didn't want the distraction of patterned pager or loads of embellishments.

I choose black black cardstock because of  stitches in the picnic patterned paper and because is was subtle. Just right.

The embellishments are lite and very appropriate for the photographs.

This page also uses black cardstock. The cardstock makes both pages "pop". These layout are also created from old product and scraps.

The same concept of less is more was also used in this layout. It's all about the photos; not how much stuff you can fit on a page.




Thanks for stopping by

  6. Very clean and simple and straight to the point. As I get older I find I have to get in a mood for things now. I am teaching my hubby how to cook some things and he is learning pretty good.

Scraps of Color "Christmas in July" Blog Hop: Day 1

My Christmas in July 2013 My Pink Journey CHRISTMAS IN JULY: DAY 1 One Sunday night (I guess it was actually early Monday morning) in July, I had a bad case of insomnia and was fooling around on eBay.  I saw that there was a bid on a new Pink Journey Cricut Expression Bundle that was about to end and the price was like 40 bucks. I was like; No way. The Bundle included 3 cartridges; one of which was the Pink Journey Champagne Rose Solution cartridge. So, I bid $56 and won the bid.  That was such a great deal simply because the Pink Journey cartridge sells for about that; at least on eBay.  Below is the layout that I created to commemorate the purchase LAYOUT 1 Solid Cardstock is Recollections Patterned Paper is Stampin Up!

SOC CELEBRATE #8 BLOG HOP: DAY 3

WELCOME BACK to the Scraps of Color Celebrate #8 Blog Hop I've Been Accepted!!    I can remember when my daughter and I were reading about colleges and she told me that she only wanted to go to a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) .  I was thinking, praise God TSU (Tennessee State University) here she comes. DING-DONG-WRONG! She said that she wanted to go to Alabama A&M in Huntsville. Then the prayer wheel started turning. " Lord, you said that you would supply all of our needs according to your riches" and you said that "What things we desire, when we pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them".        Now, she had some struggles in high school and was at best a B- to C+ student . Even though she would study and work hard; she had trouble. School just did not come easy to her; but her common sense and work ethic was ON POINT. Believe that. Nevertheless, Alexis only applied to one school. She had faith that th

SOC Hot Fun in the Summertime Blog Hop

06/22/2012   Summertime Memories and Family      Aahhh, summertime is here. Summer has soooo many fun memories for me. From my earliest memories of playing in the sprinklers at my Madea's row home to picking beans and tomatoes at my granny and granddaddy's home. What is summer without your family? Family vacations, cookouts, pool parties, and decoration day at the family cemetery are the memories we need to preserve . For me its about family and the memories we are making for the next generation. Since I started scrapbooking seriously in 2003, I've become the keeper of the family photos.         What is your earliest summertime memory? Was it eating watermelon on the porch and spitting seeds? Was it a special summertime fling? Was it the first summer that your baby walked for the first time? I would love to know.  Family Fun in the Park.   Page 1 of 2 {Family cookout for my son before he went to college. This was his "Orange and White" party.} I di
