A scrappin challenge

I get updates from several stellar blogs and love to see the challenges that go on sometimes. I have been dying to scrapbook lately so I took the challenge on Molly Peckham and ran with it. I liked her simple, clean sketch and thought it would be just the thing to jump start my scrappin mojo. Of course, as is often the case, when I looked through my scrap pages, this layout isn't very different from a lot of my layouts. I guess I know what I like! LOL
These pictures are from about five years ago...not sure why I haven't scrapped them til now, but here they are! I used Basic Grey for the page base to pick up on the color of the rocks. I love these pictures of Ben pouring pebbles on his own head. And the picture of Ethan looking through the slide is one of my favorites of him! So darn cute! They have both grown so much....sigh...

Bradley

Sunday, my best friend died. My sweetheart of 20 years died suddenly from diabetes. We didn't know he had diabetes. It came quick and took him from me. Brad was more than just my husband, he was my best friend. I relied so very much on his strength to guide me and my children through this life. I admit I feel a bit lost without him, already. I had planned on much, much more time with him. Brad and I met on January 28th, 1989. We were both at a nightclub for under age night with our friends that had dragged us there. We were both ready to leave when we were talked into one more dance. That dance changed our lives. We hit it off right away and danced the rest of the night. In face, we were together from then on. I remember that after that night, I waited all day for his call. It was love right away for me. I felt something I had never felt before and knew that he was the one for me. We dated for six months before Brad went to Texas to go to school. We talked a lot on the phone, and I...

Doubles with candy!!

Today is another fun summer day at my house. The kids are running here and there and I'm just trying to keep up. I realized I hadn't sent out Father's day cards yet, so that is what I worked on today. I tried to keep these nice and clean and manly. I remember going to a demonstration at a Stampin' Up! convention years ago where Kevin Theeson and another guy(I forget his name....) talked about 'manly' cards. One of the things they stressed was that guys don't like cards made with pastel cards. They prefer bold bright and earth element colors. I'm not sure if they suggested we stay away from florals too, but I kind of figured that was a safe idea. ;o) For this card I started with some textured Wild Wasabi cardstock cut to 10-1/2 x 5-1/4. That gave me a 5-1/4" card when folded. The striped paper across the center is from a retired SU simply scrappin kit...primary colors I think it was called. I added a strip of Real Red to each side of the stripes for...
