Pinterest Quotes

If you read this blog regularly you know I'm addicted to Pinterest.

I pin.  A lot.  One board I have holds on to my quotes that I find interesting.  I have several that have to do with little boys.

These in particular caught my eye and I've been waiting to scrap them.

 I know I've already posted this one but it worked for two different blog posts.

I used a sketch from Ashley Rock Designs with this quote as my journaling.

There was this one from a couple of weeks ago.

And what I did with it......

Getting sentimental - a 'why I scrapbook' post

We all know why so I'll keep this part short.

I was reminded the other night why i scrapbook again.  Its not so much the fun new papers (who am I kidding, it is!), its the pictures.  The memories.

And then I saw this video at the Kings hockey game.  My husband got me tickets to a Round 2 playoff game for our Anniversary/Mothers Day.  Great guy right?  Who needs flowers, dinner out and romance when you can have a HOCKEY game?!?  Live and a playoff game even!

Sorry.  I was really excited to go.  But the reason for this post.......
Watch the video and at about the 30 second mark you'll see it.

Photos of the players as kids.  I almost burst out crying when they showed this at the game.  I did tear up. My son hates when I stick a camera in his face at the rink.  He just wants to skate and I'm getting in the way.  I'm trying to capture the memory.

So I showed him the video and he gave me a big hug.  I told him that one day, his picture would be on a jumbotron somewhere.  Then I told him to go 'make me proud' and to 'go play hard out there' as he skated off.

More pictures from the game.

 Kings win!

 My friend Mandy and her daughter.  A whole new generation of Kings fans.

 Bailey giving the Ducks announcer a hard time.  It must be really hard for him to have to say nice things about the Kings.

 Giving the Blues Goalie, Elliot a hard time.  

Rally Towels.

We Are Family

Continuing on with the MME line.....

I've almost used every piece of the line that I purchased.  It worked for so many photos.

The woodgrain papers are my favorite.  I'm tempted to go back and order at least 5 more of each one just to have them.

 I did some serious stitching on this layout.  

I used one of the new wood frames from Crate Paper.  

I used some fun twine from the shop on this page.  That chipboard sticker just needed a little dimension.  If you're looking for some twine or fun ribbon, check out The Stringery.  There are some fun NSD specials like free shipping and 15% off your order.

Another one of those Pinterest gems.

Some flair from here.

Whats up?

I'm am not a big fan of Basic Grey.  I just don't work well with their products but when they release a line like the new Whats Up? line, I buy up multiples of everything.

I finally got one of my orders of the new line last week and I had the perfect photo ready to go.

And here's a shocker, I used an idea I found on Pinterest!

 Oh look, more Studio Calico veneer.

I forsee many happy layouts with this line.  Maybe even a card or two......

Zoomars

Last week N's class went to Zoomar's - a fun little farm/petting zoo that teaches kids how to care for animals.

We are no stranger to Zoomars since we've had birthday parties there AND numerous field trips.

 I had to post this picture.  The buck toothed llama.  ALL the kids thought he was funny.  Poor guy.  But that sad face earned him a lot of carrots and apples!  N's teacher said it was definitely a face only a mother could love.
