Train Ride Layout

I haven't been very productive with my scrapbooking this month, but here is a layout featuring train ride photos from 2016. It's a combination of old and new supplies plus some stamping and fussy cutting. Hope you like it!

Arizona Alphabet & Ticket to Ride stamp sets
March - April 2021 Mix-In papers

Cave Fun Layout

For my final photos from our church's Cave Quest VBS, I adapted a sketch from Stick It Down and played along with a couple of challenges to inspire me. I probably should have added journaling, but I  didn't really feel like tracking down the lady who was in charge to ask what the kids were doing in the photos, so feel free to use your imagination!

Cave Quest Preschool Pod Layout

I've been on a scrapping hiatus for the last five weeks as I begin preparing for a new adventure: homeschooling my freshman and senior kiddos. Although I swore I would never do homeschooling, circumstances came together to make it the best choice for my kids this year, so scrapping had to take a backseat as I chose curriculum and figured out a schedule and other logistics for the upcoming school year. I'm not 100% prepared, but close enough that I decided to take a teacher enrichment day and get back to some scrapping!

I only have two layouts left to scrap for my VBS 2016 photos, so here's the one with the little cuties from the preschool group, plus my hubby as one of the crew helpers. Using a spray pen and some re-inker, I colored a piece of white cardstock blue and then cut out the title and some hearts from the resulting piece. I wanted to do a little misting on the blue patterned paper, but I'm not very good at it, so it came out a lot blotchier than planned. Guess it's good I was teaching the messy preschool crafts at VBS, so I had practice cleaning up!
