boys of summer....

Good Morning,
As you are reading this, my first day of school with students, has begun. We have 61 beautiful new third graders coming in this year. Please pray for us today!

For those of you who joined in our Anniversary last week and this weekend at Practical Scrappers, Thank You, and I hope you enjoyed every minute of it!
Moving on to the new challenge this week, a summer theme project! Pull out any photos of boating, swimming, watermelon eating, bbq's, camp fires with smores....we want to see them!
I used this sketch from SOUS for my inspiration.....
Here is my layout. I chose some fun photos of my little boys from July at the lakehouse. It doesn't get more summer than this...
We had docked the boat up on an island and the kids played for hours in the lake. You can see that Megan's pink float was worth a million bucks to them that day!
All papers used are Junkitz from long, long ago. The ribbon and staples are from stash and ink is ctmh.
I hope to see you playing along this week! don't forget to visit the dt each day this week to see their summer theme inspiration!
Blessings,
