Independent Love~

Good Morning everyone!
This morning, I have a kit that has been out for awhile now.  I decided
that I could use it for my 4th of July photos from last year.  Wanted
to get them off of the computer before July
comes around again.
The kit is by Roseytoes Designs, and it is called Independent Love:

Bait and Tackle:

So the plan was to share a few kits that I've been needing to work with.  You know those
days, when you are always running late to everything.  That was how it was for
me all day long.  Yes, I got a few things finished, but nothing like I
wanted to.  I was running behind to the appointments I did have. 
Than once I was there, they ran longer than planned.  Which of
course left little or no time to work on the computer.  Hate that!!!
Anyway~
I'm here now and ready to share this bright fishing kit by Bonnie Blou Designs
called Bait and Tackle.  If you want to do a little fishing, and want something
fun and bright to scrap your pages with, than be sure to grab this kit.


Here is the alpha that comes with it:

Another creation to share.  Break out the butter cause I'm on a roll!!!
Always thought that saying was funny, lol.
Okay, so I have something else to share with all of you today.  Which this is
just the beginning, as the next couple of days are looking to be crazy with
tons of post/kits/and a card or two.  Yes, my days are very full at the moment.
So let's get right to it.
This post is share the creation I made using this great kit by One of a Kind Studio. 
Not only did the red grab me, but the light blue/green color did too.  Also
can't forget those butterflies either.  Love them!

Relax Man~

So I finally have my Simply Create card to share with all of you.  Sadly, it
was on my camera with all of my trip photos for the last
couple of days.  While one part of me couldn't
wait to download all of them, the other other part of me was afraid that
my computer would crash.  Well, my computer
did slow down tons.  Which caused me to already move some my new photos.
Guess, I won't be taking so many next time, lol!
Now for my card for the Simply Create Challenge: Metal.
Our sponsor is Bonibleaux Designs.

The image I used is  Hammock Harold:

Supplies:
Stamps: saying: happy birthday to you (papertrey) and man relaxing (DTD)

Cardstock/ink: designer paper, white, blue, dark gray, and copics
Extra: punches and brad with metal tags

Stand in the Rain~

Good morning everyone~
Many of you don't know this, but I was away on a Disney Cruise to Mexico all last
week. Everyone one of us had a wonderful time hanging out together, seeing shows, visiting Mexico,
and enjoying the sunshine.  Todd and I ate way too much food.  While the
boys made tons of new friends.  I came home with over 300 pictures and about 10
videos.  Which I will be sharing with all of you in the many layouts ahead. If
you haven't been on a cruise before, you really should try. It is
a great way to see different areas, spend time as a family, and
get alone time for your spouse and you (did I say that they have an
area to drop off the kids, so that they can do tons different activities).
Again, we had a wonderful time, and it made it really hard
to come back to the real world, lol!
While I was away, a couple of the designers I work for came out with some
great kits.  So in between washing a huge pile of clothes, I have
been able to come up with something to share with you today.
This great kit from 3 Li'l Monsters Designs to use
for those rainy day photos. You can grab it over at Stuff to Scrap.
Below is a preview of the kit:

Now for my layout:
