Nature's Waterpark

Another page about our Suriname trip. We hiked out to this waterfall for lunch and swim. The guides showed the kids how they could slide down the waterfall and swing on the vine swing in this natural waterpark. Lots of fun!

I used this sketch from ScrapMuch?

Class Trip

My son's 5th grade class visited a science museum and the Mom chaperoning his little group is a friend of mine and she texted me these photos over the course of the day. He had a great time.

I used this sketch from Stuck?! and this color scheme from ScrapMuch?

Soccer in Seattle

While watching the Superbowl last night, I realized that I never scrapped these photos from my son's trip to Seattle (he went on a business trip with his father). The highlight of their trip was going to a Sounders game (the MLS soccer team which plays in the same stadium as the Seahawks).

I used this sketch from Let's Scrap.

Misty Mountain

Misty Mountain was our biggest hike in the rainforest in Suriname. Not only did we climb the mountain, but we had to hike to the mountain. It was hard hike but we enjoyed it. We saw capuchin and howler monkeys in the tops of trees. On the way down, the boys and the guide would sprint ahead and then hide and surprise us, they had a blast. I used this sketch from Let's Scrap.

Playing with Punches and Cutters

The weather outside may be frightful, but I am scrapping with Spring and Summer colors. I've been using my punches and cutting tools quite a bit lately and thought I would share a few projects.

Here is a card I made using my hexagon punch, some paper scraps, and some stamps from Heartfelt Creations.

I used the a Christmas corner punch from Kreaxions to make the corners on this card for my sister's birthday.

Here is a scrapbook page I made with our summer vacation photos. I used the same Christmas corner punch from Kreaxions to make the green doily. I also used my circle cutter.Look at the silly expression on my husband and son in the lower photo, scrapping these vacation photos makes me happy.

Here is another vacation page using my circle cutter and punches, using a sketch from Stuck?!

Over the Rainbow

We stayed at a remote location in the rainforest in Suriname. After an amazing stay, we took this little plane from the grass airstrip to the capital city of Paramribo. We saw breathtaking views from the plane windows, but I was surprised to see a rainbow and then a double rainbow out the airplane window.

I made the dot rainbow using modeling paste, a Tim Holtz template, and assorted mist to color the paste. I used this sketch from Let's Scrap and this is my entry into December challenge at Scrap and Play (red, green, and trees).

Hanukkah Cards

I only make a few Hannukah cards each year since I only send them to immediate family. Sometimes I give them Hebrew school teachers also. Here's the first one I made this year:

 I used this sketch from Sketch-n-Scrap, the fall trees from the Cozy fall mood board at SWAT, and linking back to paper issues.
