Sweet Hugs and Kisses

My daughter has such a sweet personality and a kindred soul. She brightens my day every morning when she greets me with a warm smile, tight hug and soft kiss. Today's layout is inspired by my daughter and how very affectionate she is. We had spend the day at the Tennessee Aquarium this summer. She got up in her daddy's arms and gave him a big hug and kiss. Oh how we love that girl of ours.

Technique Tuesdays

Happy Tuesday everyone, I am going to start a new series called technique Tuesdays. Today's layout is from our trip last year to the Tennessee Aquarium. I used several techniques while creating this layout. It was so much fun to create. Technique Tuesdays will allow me to showcase new, traditional and never heard of before techniques. I sure hope you all will join me in techniques by sharing or commenting some of your favorite techniques. Thanks for looking and commenting, Sharondalyn

Log Jamboree

Happy Sunday!! Here is another layout from our trip last year to Six Flags over Georgia. The kids and Charlene (my scrappin friend) had such a good time riding all of the rides. Charlene was brave enough to get on the "Log Jamboree", which is a family water ride. The splash was so big that I thought they would be totally soaked! They got a little wet but had a lot of fun! Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of your weekend! Sharondalyn
