Yesterday was graduation day!!!

So I know I haven't been around much in the past week, but that's because my middle child graduated from college/high school yesterday. We have been very busy getting that all worked out!

Yesterday was the big day! I am so proud of him! He earned his AA!! Now it's on to UCF in September.

Here are a few photos from the day of all the festivities!

THE GRADUATE!!! WE ARE SO PROUD!!!

OH YEAH!! THE CHECKS...oh and thanks for the cards too!! LOL!! Gotta love him!!

National Photography Month Layout

In celebration of National Photo Month I did this fun layout for Let's Get Peachy. 

The journaling tells this story: A friend of mine Lisa (also a Peachy Kat), is a very good photographer. She takes TONS of photos every where we go. We were at a crop in South Carolina and we were messing around. I was teasing her about being like the Paparazzi. She hopped behind a tree, one with no leaves and she was not even remotely hidden and pretended to be the Paparazzi and take a bunch of photos of our friend Teresa as she came out from the house we were staying in. We were all laughing so hard. 

SUPPLIES: 
Base Paper: Die Cuts With A View paper  
Letters: Bazzill cardstock -cut with the Cricut using Gypsy Font 
Camera: Black Cardstock from Walmart - cut with the Cricut using Going Places   
 
I repurposed two items: 
#1- the lens of the camera is a paper core that I painted with Viva Decor Inca Gold, I used Helmar 450 Glue to attach it. You can get these paper cores from my store: www.craftyscrapsofstuff.com  
#2- the journaling tag is a hang tag - I added Glitter Glaze to the edges to kick it up a notch. You can get these from my store: www.craftyscrapsofstuff.com
