Hot Days=Wet Friends and Fun

Whew! My eye checkup went well today. I just need to continue eye drops in my right eye for a few extra days to relieve the throbbing. Thankfully I have no damage to my corneas. It's been a long week in the dark! I missed getting glued and inked and stamped and messy all over.

After getting home and before Emily dropped Ella off for a play date with Gramma, I made this super-simple two-page layout of a day we three spent together at the pool this summer. Double click to enlarge a photo.

I used Close To My Heart Life Delights papers and Stickease, white flower brads, cranberry mini brads, cranberry ribbon, and Flip Flaps to get more photos onto each page. The Stickease letters are on papers punched with the Giga Marvy scallop punch. The photos aren't great since I took them with the Memory Protectors on the pages, but that's the best way to show the Flip Flaps. These products make scrapbooking so fast and fun, especially when it's so hard to choose only a few photos on a traditional layout. Now we can layer the photos and do a little flip-flappin' to tell the whole story!

Friends & Life Delights

Since last Sunday's card workshop, I've been scrapping layouts of our summer road trips and visits with special people.

Judy, an early childhood educator and minister to families who have very young children, and I have been friends since we bonded in the early '80s at a Christian writing workshop. I treasure the short snatches of time we have to spend together. On this day, we visited at her work place, and we talked 100 mph as we watched ee play with the outdoor and indoor toys.

I thank God for our friendship and for the times He gives us to be together, and for phones, snail mail, and email when we are apart.

I thank God for giving me the blessing of Judy in my life, a true sister in Christ.
