ARTastic's New June Challenge

This month's inspiration comes from the painting, Argenteuil, by Edouard Manet

Diva Demand for 6 additional points:

1) 2 people in photo - 1 pt

2) use striped PP - 2 pts

3) include a boat somewhere on the LO - 3 pts

Here's my LO:

Open up my scrapbooks and they are filled with LO after LO of my DD, Temple, so it was nice to do one of Charles and me!  I got the paper-piecing pattern for the boat from Scrapbooks, etc.

I must also acknowledge Temple's photography skills as she took this picture of Charles and me!

Make sure you make your way to ARTastic and join in on the challenge!

Happy Scrapping!

Water Babe!

We were down in Daytona Beach a couple of weeks ago, and of course I took pictures of Temple!  She's on the swim team this year and out of all of the sports activities we've had her in over the years, I think she's found her sport.  The team will have their first competition on June 11th, and Coach Kate has the team perfecting their freestyle technique.  They've also started to learn the breast stroke and the back stroke.  It amazes me how Temple just zips through the water!!!

I digress!  Here's my digi layout of her at Daytona Beach:

Thanks for looking and Happy Scrapping!

Temple's First Communion

Temple finished her 2 years of sacramental classes and finally participated in her First Communion along with 19 of her fellow Sacramental Classmates!  It was a joyous time for us!

That's Grandma Arvis in the picture with us!

Thanks for looking and Happy Scrapping!

Screen to Scrap May Challenge

I joined in on this month's challenge over at From Screen to Scrap.  Inspiration is from the movie poster, Love Actually.

For an extra 6 bonus points, your LO should include
1) A red bow
2) A journaling note
3) Add names to the people in your photos
Here is my LO based on the criteria:

I pretty much kept this LO quite simple--I just wanted to focus on the photos of my family.  I also drew the 'Love' on cardstock, cut it out and painted each letter with red acrylic water paint.  I also cut the journaling tag out on my Cricut.

Thanks for looking and Happy Scrapping!

Exciting things are happening at ARTastic this month!

This is a picture of Temple with my niece's baby, Solomon.  He was 3 months at the time this picture was taken and now he's 9 months and from what I understand a joyful handful!
