Relaxing Sunday and Countdown to Iowa Midwest Crop

Spent a relaxing Sunday with family and scrapping. Had lunch with Jeremy, Sarah, and Jaren and then off to Babies R Us to get Jaren a new forward-facing car seat for when he turns 1 in 4 weeks. Then it was off to watch the girls' soccer game. The sun was shining and it was around 83 degrees--a beautiful day. It is fun to watch their skills and confidence grow as they are now getting into the action more and more. The heat started to get to them though and you could see them start to wind down.

After soccer we came home and I did a layout for a challenge in which I had to use a provided paint strip. I really like how it turned out.



Supplies used were: Paint chip by Hummie (www.hummiesworld.com); AMC_SSEmb_DoodlePad_1a-Paper (Scrapgirls.com); karen_texturedoverlay2 and
karen_texturedoverlay6 (scrapdish.com); and Maskee Quick Bits Clipping Masks Designs by Marcee Duggar (Layer_S2_Mask5) (DigitalScrapbookPlace.com)

Only 6 more days to Iowa Midwest Crop sponsored by Digital Scrapbook Place, to be held in West Des Moines. Now I only need to get through a 3-day Board Meeting and the rest of the week.

Love You

I did this layout for CAF-E with Nicole challenge at DSP. CAF-E stands for Create A Freebie for the E! Challenge!!!! This week's challenge was to use Nicole Young's Angel Whispers Page Kit and Blog Freebie.

Today I also learned of the plans for a Midwest Crop here in Des Moines sometime this year--possibly in June. I didn't realize the number of scrappers at DSP from Iowa, including Nicole.
