Layout: You Make Me Happy

This is Amy and her son, Noah. Amy plays on our daughter's softball team. I happened to snap this photo at one of the games and thought it would be a perfect picture to scrap!

We came home July 6th, dropped the trailer off and headed over to my mother-in-laws house for a cookout.
~

This week went so fast....our daughter Ashleigh was home on vacation for the whole week (which meant I ended up sharing my laptop with her so she could go online), our daughter Crystal had a softball game, several days were spent washing clothes from the camping trip, Devon had an appointment with the groomer, I had an appointment to get my hair cut and then I spent several days baking stuff to take to the Jewell Family Reunion.

My brother Rick cut his finger Friday but refused (a perfect example of the Jewell stubbornness) to go to the hospital...by the time he finally did go on Saturday they told him that he had cut into the bone and it was infected. He has to go see a surgeon later this week.

We are dog sitting for Monty & Betsy for a few days but then we are hoping that we can head back out camping. We are looking at possibly going to a campsite in the Catskills.

Challenges

~
Yesterday I took a break from scrapping and read a book.....Carolina Isle by Jude Deveraux. It was pretty good. The July Quote Challenge at Snap and Scrap is to use one of the quotes provided and scrap a layout about your favorite book and/or author. Ummmm.....yea that will definitely be a challenge for me. I have so many authors that I like....Jude Deveraux, Catherine Coulter, Lisa Jackson, Nora Roberts, Amanda Quick, Christina Dodd.....I could go on and on.

~

Another challenge that sounds interesting is the Life Less Ordinary Challenge at Digital Freebies....the subject is toys. Do I have a favorite toy or one I still someday want to have? And, like all great challenges this one is going to require some thought.

~

I'll probably be spending most of the day jumping from one scrapping website to the next to find out what the rest of the July challenges are going to be!

Yet another layout!

I made the layout on the left for the June 2008 Element Challenge at Digi by Design. The quick page was provided and we had to use it 'as is'. Then we had to add a few specific elements. I liked the layout but since Heather's dress was blue I decided to change the color of the quick page to see if I liked it better. What do you think? Do you like the layout on the left or the right better?
