Vacation Pages

I am trying to finish up the 2014 vacation album before we take any vacations this month. Here is the final page from our summer trip to Suriname.  Even though I saved this page for last, visiting the Neveh Shalom synagogue in Paramaribo was a very special treat for us. This is the oldest continuous Jewish congregation in the Americas. I used this sketch from ScrapMuch for my two-page layouts about the synagogue.

I am also finishing the snorkeling pages from our winter trip to Belize. For this layout is I used this sketch from Sketches in Thyme. 

Thanks for looking

April Fools!

Happy April Fools Day!
I'm up on the Kreaxions blog with a little April Fool's joke. Here's a preview:

Bar Mitzvah Card

I remember over 30 years ago, when I had my Bat Mitzvah, I received multiples of each card available in the card stores. This past October, when my son had his Bar Mitzvah, nothing had changed in this regard. This motivates me to make hand-made cards for each Mitzvah we are invited to. Even so, all my Mitzvah cards are similar as there are very limited options for Bar and Bat Mitzvah themed products.  This card is for my son's friend who will be celebrating tomorrow.

I used this sketch from Your Next stamp.

Belize

I recently discovered CraftSmith papers and fell in love with the Pacific Cove collection which is perfect for my Belize photos.

This page of my husband and sons in a kayak was taken from the shore at our hotel and uses this sketch from Stuck?!:

This page is about a fun story. We had gone snorkeling with a guide and while we were in the boat taking off our fins, my younger son climbed out of the boat and walked through the water over to this island where we spotted him. We have a family joke about private islands which led to my title. This is for the picture tells a story challenge at Memorable Seasons, please visit us here and check it out.

Smile!

I'm up on the Just Imagine Kreaxions blog today with this layout of my kids snorkeling in Belize.

I used 3 different Kreaxions punches to create the doily, fish border, and photo mat. You can check out the details here. The papers are CraftSmith Pacific Cove collection.

Placencia

Placencia is a small city in Belize with great restaurants and the best gelato. We stayed on the beach about 4 miles North of town, but the boys had an excuse to go into town for gelato every single day.
