End of Summer Fun!

XOXO DT has been busy enjoying their families and making memories!

I don't know about all of you but our Summer started off crazy and school wasn't even out yet!

Up here in the Northern part of the continent it took us some time to get that Summer weather...

We got the chance to get a family trip in!

Got a new sport captured for my son...He started T-ball this year. My daughter went back into Soccer after taking a season off. So, I will have some more scrapping to get in!

I am welcoming...well this Jersey Girl doesn't want to welcome the end of Summer!

But I am excited for Back to School...

every time I see school supplies lining the aisles. 

I get that jingle from that Staples commercial a few years ago! 

"It's the most wonderful time of the year!"

Anyway, I am going to get us started with a page! 

I did this page using pictures from one of our favorite stops on our New Jersey broadwalk before our move to Canada!      

November Lift - Happy American Thanksgiving!

1st I want to wish all you a Happy Thanksgiving!
Canadian Thanksgiving was back in October before Halloween. It is still hard for me to get me head around that, since I have always had the Parade on TV while preparing or helping to prepare for the feast.
We are planning to celebrate here in Canada with the American Thanksgiving. That way I can get the mindset and start our Christmas season right! It sneaked up on me last year....

Anyway, on the this month's challenge...you still have some time to link up before the month is up!


I loved Wendy's layout...bright and colorful squares and buttons. I will more than likely pull from this layout again!

I was working on some pages of a day trip we took with the kids over the summer. Since, I had a great shot that I enlarged of my husband with the kids at one of the scenic stops/lookouts! I wanted to include part of a travel map about the scenic drive and stops along the route. The travel map worked out as my photo mat. Even those, the photo and the mat had blues/greens. I went with more neutrals, earthly tones since it reminds me of heritage pages, family and outdoors. Plus, all my accent elements blended well!

Here is Wendy's layout...

April's Scraplift - Signal Hill

Hi, It's Michelle! We are finally getting around to Spring weather in Newfoundland, Canada! It's funny that the picture I used on my page was from last year in March. We had took a "run" as they say (a drive) just after all the snow had finally melted. Got the kids posed and took a shot of the city in the background at the top of Signal Hill. Anyway, Here we are in 3rd week of April and there is still snow on the ground in the most Northeasterly point of North America!

So on to my lift, "I mixed it up!" Tess had mentioned seeing a boy spin on her inspiration. I started out going boy themed and then added some flourish and shimmer!

Here is Tess's inspiration:

Join us for the challenge and show us your lift!
