Scraplift Meredith Fenwick Blog Play Day

Scraplift of Meredith’s layout titled “Fun.”
http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=9097&cat=all&ppuser=22

On the last day of summer camp the kids had a pool party at Westwood Swim Club. The shallow end of the pool was 3 feet 6 inches deep and the kids couldn’t pass the swimming test so they had to hang around the edge of the pool. Liam was really disappointed because he really wanted to go on the water slide and diving boards. On 2 different occasions he tried to sneak away to go into the deeper side, which ranged from 8 to 10 feet. He was so angry that I wouldn’t let him have any fun. August 17, 2007 .

Scraplift Challenge at Scrapbook-Graphics: Tender Kiss

This is my layout for the scraplift challenge over at Scrapbook-Graphics. Aren't the kids cute? I love it when they are affectionate with one another though it is usually one-sided. Kaylie is a sweet girl, while Liam is more aloof. She is timid, while he is social. They sure make my life interesting, that is for sure.

Links to the stuff I used are in my DST/SBG galleries, which you can access through the links on the upper right hand corner of my blog.

Anatomy of a Bubble - Scraplift at Scrapbook-Graphics

Liam absolutely loves to blow bubbles. I love the progression of the photos as I caught him dunking the wand in the bottle, then blowing on it, watching it drift away and catching it with the wand again.

If you would like to see this layout closer, be sure to check the links on the upper right hand corner of the blog which will take you to my galleries.

Two Little Monkeys - Scraplift Challenge at Scrapbook-Graphics

When I saw Edhish's layout in the gallery, I loved it at first sight. The monkey stickers she used were fab! Anyway, it was chosen as the scraplift layout of the week and here is my version of her page. Obviously, the two little monkeys in the pict. are Kay and Liam climbing the tree in our backyard. Liam is the more adventurous of the two and wants to climb the highest. You can see him here looking at the scratches he got while climbing and rubbing against the tree. You would think that this will stop him, but it doesn't. He remembers at nighttime and that is the time that he will claim that it hurts. :) Boys will be boys, or so I have been told.

Scraplift Chall. @t Scrapbook-Graphics! Jellyfish!

Facts: Jellyfish are marine invertebrates belonging to the Scyphozoan class. The body of an adult jellyfish is composed of a bell-shaped, jelly producing substance enclosing its internal structure, from which the creature's tentacles are suspended. Each tentacle is covered with stinging cells (cnidocytes) that can sting or kill other animals: most jellyfish use them to secure prey or as a defense mechanism. Others, such as Rhizostomae, do not have tentacles at all.

To compensate for a lack of basic sensory organs and a brain, the jellyfish exploits its nervous system and rhopalia to perceive stimuli, such as light or odor, and orchestrate expedient responses. In its adult form, it is composed of 94–98% water and can be found in every ocean in the world. Some jelly fish do have these body parts such as the box jelly fish.

Autumn Is In The Air

This is layout done for studio challenge 16, a “scraplift” of Debbie Pearson’s layout entitled, “Enjoying Life,” which can be seen at Scrapbook-graphics: http://www.scrapbookgraphics.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=1683&cat=558A walk to Smithville Lake today yielded this beautiful sight. The sky was a dark blue and the clouds resembled a cotton field across the sky. The sun was shining against the red-orange brick facade of this old building casting a glow upon the water. Its beauty thrilled and captivated me.
