Echo Park - Happy Halloween, more of it

Got another page done with the Echo Park Happy Halloween line. I have to say I LOVE fall, I LOVE Halloween and I LOVE pumpkin patches- going to pick out the perfect pumpkin. We kinda like to do fun things and make cool jack o lanterns with our pumpkins here at the house. Everyone usually has something in mind that they want and so we all look for our own pumpkins to create on. We usually decorate up the front porch pretty festive and love the holiday. We've been going to the same pumpkin patch since the first year we moved here and just love it.. I am lovin this fun scrappy line, super cute embellies and the pumpkin print paper was perfect for the photo.

Echo Park- Happy Halloween

Woooo Hoooooo!!!! I finally got a chance to scrap, it's been a couple of weeks from going on vacation and then getting settled in. And I've had this pack of Echo Park Happy Halloween collection just sitting on my desk, begging to be used. I LOVE Halloween, it's my favorite holiday, and I love to scrap it, it's one of my fave things to work on. So here are some pages that I got done. Talk about a difference two years can make, the kids look sooo much older in the photos I can hardly believe it. I'm sure the photos from this year, they will look even bigger!! They grow way too fast. I LOVE the fun patterns on this line, and embellies, they are perfect to any Halloween page...

Trick or Treat:

But felt good to be making a card again, so I'm going to have to get to makin some more...

Sketches By Tamara- Journaling Challenge

This week's challenge from Tamara was sooo fun for the journaling challenge. The challenge: Journal about your vacation: More than who, what, where and when. But your thought about the vacation or a funny event during the vacation.
So for my page I did journaling about a trip we made to Cali, for just a concert. Of course we saw family and friends and always love a good trip to Cali, but when we heard the Cranberries were going to be in a limited release concert tour, about less than 20 cities, the tickets were $39, I mean how can you resist? It's a band that both Jeremy and I LOVE and had been waiting to see for a loooong time. So we got the tickets, had AMAZING seats and saw a great show. It was definitely worth the trip.. hands down.

Last Day of School

A new month and a new page sketch from Sketches by Tamara.. Here is my take on sketch # 130 for this month. I used the adorable Walk in the Park line from Echo Park.
