Here's a quick layout I did of my mom from the Greek Festival last year. For some reason the background paper just seemed really fitting for this, not really sure why. It was some CM paper that was in my stash.

It became tradition that every year we would go and have dinner and Greek coffee there. Mom loved her coffee in general and the Greek coffee ranked near the top. Then we would do a little shopping and pick up some of the amazing pastries the women of the church would make! If you have a Greek Festival near you it is definitely worth visiting!

Well I feel like I am on a roll with using the layouts I've done in prior hostess clubs!!

"Find what brings you JOY and go there"...that is definitely something that my mom did in life! Even on her bad days when she needed a walker instead of a cane, she still lived life to the fullest. Here she is at a party and is part of a dance line and she was movin' on down the line with the best of them!

And the second page of the layout is what brings me joy...spending the day with my scrappin' peeps at a crop!

Today I am sharing a layout using an overlay I purchased at the Scrapbook Expo last year when it came to town. Unforunately I didn't get a chance to go to this year's Expo...but I'm already looking forward to next year!

There is a nice little winery not too far from where I live and they were running a fundraiser for March of Dimes. So a group of us from The Franklin Woman's Clube went together and we got to sample wine for a great cause!

And here is another layout I finally got some pictures onto! This one took a bit longer to get around to using. But when I go through my binder of completed layouts I feel like I automatically know if certain photos should go on that layout.

This is the Easter celebration that goes with last Saturday's layout. And yes, my niece fell alseep and I came across a photo of her sleeping so my brother held it up to her while I took the photo...lol! I'm not even sure she has seen this photo yet :)

Here is a quick layout I did using an overlay. I just love the saying on it "With God all things are possible."...which is so very true!! He can make the impossible very possible :)  The pictures are from the 150 Central Concert we had at our church last year. They are a local praise and worship band. The pictures aren't that great, but the concert was awesome so I still wanted to scrapboook the page.

Here is the birthday layout class I did with Close to My Heart. 

The patterned paper on both side is the same but my darn camera is showing it as different colors. Anyway,,. the paper looks really cute in person! I plan to host coffee hour at my church in honor of my mom's birthday in August and will be putting the photos on this layout. She really enjoyed seeing the classes I took and it was tradition for me to host coffee hour to throw her a church birthday party.

I ran a crop at my church last Saturday and we had three classes so over the next three weeks I'll be sharing what we made. I love taking classes! Here is the Close to My Heart card class we did with the Picture My Life cards.

I accidentally stamped the one card upside down...oops!! I was having too much fun and chatting with my friends!
