Another family fun day - What tools/embellisment did I use??

Hello everyone!!! I am so excited, headed to go and see the boys of summer tonight (The Red Sox). My favorite two people are coming up from New Jersey (my aunt and uncle) and we are ALL going. So much fun!!!!

Ok, so here is another family fun thing we like to do. We have a fire pit and in the fall and early winter we love to have one in the back yard. I have been told by Kel it is like camping (she is a camper, I am not, and she is trying to get me to camp,I don't do bugs). We usually have Kel and her hubby over. So I broke out my Glimmer Mist and my "must have" Three Birds on Parade awesome sticker pack. I saw this really cool technique in a scrap magazine. Punch out squares, circles, whatever shape you want. Place then on your paper with removable tape (as you can see I didn't have that). Once you have them placed where you want, spray the glimmer mist all over the page. Now, I have to buy more glimmer mist, lol!! Let it dry and take off the square off paper. That was the result. So cute. I love the look.
I used these two colors. Here is my Three Birds on Parade sticker pack. It has soo many different themes and letters, it really was a great buy. It has been sitting on my shelf forever. I said I have to pull it out. I am so excited because I found cute baby stickers in here and I am working on a baby book from my cousin and his wife, so it pays to through your stash!!!

Here is the finished product!! I had 2.5 x 2.5 pictures of us out by the firepit and I placed them over the already made frames. Sooo adorable. All the swirls, tabs, frame and title are from the sticker stack. I did add a few perfect pearls here and there.

Family Fun Time AND Challenge time!!

Good morning to all!! Hope you had a wonderful long weekend and 4th of July!!! We had a great day, celebrated with family and great friends, Kel and Dawn! The weather held out. It did down pour for about a minute, most folks were in the pool to it didn't matter!!!

We decided it was challenge time! We haven't had one in quite some time, so get your thinking caps on!!! The challenge is to do a scrapbook page, any size you like, and the subject is Family Fun Time! The catch (there is always a catch isn't there!), you have to use an element, a tool, and embellishment that you haven't used in a long time. You have to tell us what that embellishment/tool is. You have until July 30th to get enter your page. Please enter a new project. We have a fun prize of two embossing folders, and a some fun rub-ons. Unfortunately, the prize is in my husband's truck and he is off to work. I will get a picture up soon!!! You do not have to be a follower to enter, but if you would like to follow us we would love to have you! Please email me, Laurie, your page to lbaires@comcast.net. We LOVE to show off your work and give your blog props as well!! All about the scrapping it forward!!

This is take on my family fun time. We went bowling a few months back and I finally got these pages done. I bought a template at CK Manchester and have been dying to use it (this is my tool). I used it on the bottom of the page with the two kids bowling.

I also took a pic of the score board, so we could remember the winner and the scores!! Dawn's daughter won, girl power!!

I found fun bowling embellishments from K&Company.

I took a close up of this picture, because I used Photo Elf, to write on the picture. My son and Dawn's daughter would have a meeting right before they bowled every time, telling each other how they should throw the ball. It says, "Meeting of the minds". I love me some Photo Elf
