Hello, colorful pennant banner and clouds, love. :)  There is also a new challenge over at two peas called the lift it challenge where you have a week to lift a paper layout into a digi layout and if you use 2 peas kits you can be eligible to win a prize.  This is the layout I created for this challenge:

I want to share a picture with you and ask, can you guess what Jordan is doing in the photo?

I posted this on my Facebook the other day and my girlfriend Lala was the only one to guess.  While walking on the beach, Jordan saw this piece of driftwood.  He immediately picked it up and started pumping it over his head.  “Look, I’m a sand person!” (from star wars)

When creating this layout, I considered placing an element over the truck in the background, but in the end I decided to flip the picture and create more background green, use Gaussian blur to cover the edge and it provided a perfect spot for the journaling.  The beauty of digital.(and p.s. i saw a you tube video featuring a new tool in cs5 that would make this even easier and faster to fix. drool)

both layouts use Vinnie Pearce’s Toy Box Kits: Toy Box Kraft Solids, Toy Box Elements, Toy Box Papers

the second layout also uses: Bee Happy: The Alphas by Betsy Tuma and Letter Template Value Pack III by Erica Hernandez

I wanted to thank you again for your votes for the CK Reader’s Choice poll, I didn’t win, but I thank you for your votes! :) I send out my congratulations to Jana’s winning layout (the one with the boots, it was so cute!)

Thanks for stopping by, I’ll be back again soon with more from 2 peas, some minty goodies and more.

Love Love and Blog you Later,

Joscie, rhymes with bossy!

It was a teary day as they left Navy Hale Keiki for the last time.  Jalen was graduated from the third grade, the seniors of the school, so to speak. all three of them.  Here are pictures of Jalen with his two teachers. I love them and the way they nurtured and lead my son. sigh*

I made the teachers thank you cards, brought them lei and gifties for the last day.  My card was inspired by a card I saw on the blog hop.

the clouds and woodgrain are hero arts background stamps, the patterned paper on the banner are from the Oct Afternoon  Cherry Hill pad. I love how it came out, although the word was a little longer than I anticipated, it’s okay with me. ;)

also I have been continuing on with my crocheting… i’m hooked, hee hee, and on Row 14 of my scarf. here’s what it looks like right now:

5 more rows to go, then fringe! wheeee!

I also tried out the embroidery floss to make those cute little flowers, ahhh I love it!

Today was a busy first day of Summer. We ran to the post office, picked up an ebay purchase from israel.check.  drove out to Kahala to pick up a dental health certificate for Jordan’s new preschool.check. went to the new preschool to pay deposit, buy a shirt and turn in paper work.check. home to pick up checks in the mail (yay!).check. off to the bank for deposits. check, check, check, check! home for lunch, legos and nap.  I tortured Jalen with a writing assignment, and I crocheted nap time away.  Still need to make a run to the commisary, but over all today was a day with things checked off the list, and that’s always a good thing.

Flat Joscie’s trip to Toronto was documented on Miss Mint’s blog. so.cute. Did I tell you I did a silhouette card tutorial over there?

Tomorrow (or the next day) I’ll be back with news about my lego project, my new printing toy, memory makers, and scrapbook dimensions projects.  Til then, thanks for stopping by my piece of paradise!

Love Love and Blog you later!
