it’s a 2fer today: blog hops that is

 

That’s right I have 2 hops going on today.

Simple Scrapper and ScrapFIT

 

This is one super busy Monday.

It’s the first of the month and we have tons of inspiration
for you.

And I am currently in Pennsylvania.

It’s cold and the leaves are changing.

I am enjoying my stay
here but am starting to miss my sunshine form Cali.

 

I will keep my post short and sweet so you can enjoy both

So scroll on down to see what I made for Simple Scrapper and
ScrapFIT

here's a few photos from the last 2 days

 

ps-the template I used is free from simple scrapper

it's a  5.5x8.5 instagram album

I LOVE this layout!

I LOVE my bug

I LOVE in-n-out

I took this photo about a week after I got the bug {june
2012}

Dad & Kevin were in Chicago. I think it was a Saturday night.

It was staying light later and I cruised up to in-n-out for dinner.

When I think of So Cal I think of

warm breezy nights.

Convertibles.

The beach & in-n-out.

After I had taken a couple bites of my burger

I realized I
had a picture perfect image.

When this challenge came up I knew it would be the

perfect photo for the colors.

I’m a little bummed that the white paint smeared,

but I just heart this layout

aimee style

 

remember when: august projects

 

 

 

It’s back to school time, just incase you didn’t know.

 

And of course the girl, who hated like school, and doesn’t
have kids, got assigned back to school paper.

I mentioned last week in this post I double dipped on

my
assignments this past month.

 

1. I used the templates from Simple Scrapper

2. I used the paper and product I received from Remember
When

3. I was a part of the Paper Issues/Craftwell back to school
hop

{how could I not join in on this theme}

 

 

 

 

 

I do have to say I had a lot of fun working with these 2
lines I received from Remember When.

I really thought I was gonna struggle, but
have my BFF’s kids to bribe for photos made it all worth

I made these tags for a wedding earlier this year

We used these bottle stops for the name cards/table numbers

I printed the guest name and table they were assigned

Then cut the paper into little flags.

I then hot glued the
flag to the bottle stopper.

I had this great tray I filled with Styrofoam, then covered
with moss.

Yep, the layouts you saw for the craftwell back to school blog hop
