I digiscrapping and my favorite place to scrap online has been with my friends at Deco-Pages! I was a member Creative Team for 4 1/2 years and had the opportunity to make LOs for all the wonderful designers at Deco-Pages. The site is now closed and I miss it so VERY much!

I am taking a break from my digital scrapping...but to prevent withdrawal symptoms, I am on two Creative Teams for now! Check out their blogs and watch here for my layouts with their great kits!

Luke & Avery's Holy Land Adventure at VBS

This weekend I am scrapping photos taken last weekend of Luke and Avery and Nana (that's me) having a wonderful Holy Land Adventure at Vacation Bible School. I'm making an online album at Deco-Pages.com, my favorite digital scrapping website, telling all about the weekend. So far I have completed 5 LOs and still have many more shops that we visited to scrap and lots of singing and dancing in the marketplace, even a Roman solider to scrap...wow! Will take a while to get it all done, but here are the first ones completed today.

I immediately thought of Deb Ammerman's Hanukkah Kit to use in scrapping these special memories!
You can find Deb's kit here:

Journaling:
Five times we joined the Levi Tribe in synagogue school. The Rabbi was very kind. He taught us to say and even write some Hebrew words. We learned that the children of Jerusalem wrote on clay tablets. These are members of our tribal family writing on their clay tablets.





Journaling:
Avery paid 2 gold pieces for materials to make her placemat. The Weaver gathered supplies while you watched others making their mats. Luke and Avery both made very lovely mats like the children of Jerusalem made many years ago!

Having Fun with Retro Designs QP Freebies!

I made this wonderful LO quick as a wink with Retro Designs QP Freebie!



You, too, can get this wonderful QP freebie by going to the forums at Deco-Pages and asking Helen for it. Just CLICK HERE! Once you post a layout in the gallery, PM Helen giving her the link to your LO and she'll send you another QP freebie.

Here's my LO with the 2nd QP freebie. Just love this. I was so surprised when I went looking for this photo of Luke and Avery watering the plants...I found it in the 2007 folder. My how time flies. Avery's water hose had broken but she was content to just try and fix it rather than watering. Isn't this just too cute...sounds like a Nana, doesn't it!



These are both from Retro Designs new kit **Time Began in a Garden**. I love the name of this wonderful kit. Click Here to go see Time Began in a Garden!

You can see other LOs with these 2 QP Freebies in Retro Designs' Gallery at Deco-Pages!
