Boarding!

One of the highlights of our California vacation is some sort of boarding. The first time we went it was all about the skim boarding. Plus we "had to" get a couple long boards to take home (those were very hard to pack on our luggage!) The last time we went the boys advanced to body boards and then surf boards.

Here is a layout of my husband skim boarding...

I used the perfect summer papers..."Saltwater" made by Elle's Studio.

There is one full set of the papers available at Paper Issues...if you enter the code ANDREAWIEBE at checkout you'll get a bonus 20% off!

Have a wonderful day,

Bre's Graduation Day!

Today is a big day in the Wiebe household...our oldest daughter, Bre, is graduating from high school (with honours I may add!). We have been homeschooling Bre since she was in grade one and it has been an amazing experience that I wouldn't trade for anything. When the topic of homeschooling was first brought up Bre was in kindergarten. I flat out refused the idea and thought we could never do it. Twelve years later I am proven wrong.

Bre does school online so we had to travel to be at her ceremony...this makes it even more exciting for me because I love road trips and staying at hotels :) She will get to meet her teachers and classmates for the first time!  Today I will hear her name called and she will receive her high school diploma. I'm SO excited for this, it is like closure, like we actually finished! Then in September a new chapter will begin when she attends college to earn either a diploma or degree in Computer Sciences.

Congratulations Bre, I love you and I'm so proud of your hard work. The pictures in this layout are of Bre's first year and last year of school.

(I'll post some graduation and prom pictures tomorrow!)

She Will Never Forget This!

Happy Sunday!

I made this layout for a challenge at Paper Issues.

The challenge was to use a Instagram print.  Unfortunately I don't have any  so I had to improvise and make a couple of "faux prints". I cut a piece of white card stock to measure 4 X 5 inches and then attached a photo that had been trimmed to 3 1/2 X 4 inches. I really like how the layout turned out...

 (I used the March Mr. Brightside kit from Scraptastic)

Tee-riffic!

I made this for my sons 16th birthday...it's on Monday.  He love to golf so this is the perfect "card" for him!

 

 Tonight is the last night to enter in the awesome giveaway over at Paper Issue! Be sure to check it out here!
