Tea Time

One of my absolute favorite things to do every time we go on a cruise is go to Tea Time!  They always have different flavored hot teas available (but you can have something else to drink if you'd like), and they make the most amazing pastries, little sandwiches, and other food.  Oh my goodness!  I always try to sample everything at least once, but sometimes I just get too full!  LOL!  

What better way to remember Tea Time than to make a scrapbook page about it!

The White Coconut Creme flavored tea from Art of Tea is my absolute fave!  We're going on another cruise in May 2024, and I can't wait, because I get to go to Tea Time again!

I used a combination of elements from Carta Bella's Homemade with Love collection and Echo Park's Happiness is Homemade collection on this page.  The two bottom photos are triple matted, and I used Thickers Sparkling glitter letter stickers in Silver for the title.  I'm also entering this page for the following challenges:

Lucerne

My intent was to post my layouts for the LOAD 2016 challenge as I got them finished, so I have to apologize that I'm a couple of days late with this one!  The prompt for Day 3 was music.  My first thought IMMEDIATELY went to photos I had of a Jesuit church I visited in Lucerne, Switzerland.  I found this sketch at Let's Scrap:

and flipped the left side of the sketch to fit one of the monthly challenges in the Scrappin' 'n' Chattin' Yahoo group.  

This church is so much more beautiful than the pictures show!  I absolutely love the colors inside; I only wish I could have heard music coming out of the organ.

Family Fun

We try to take our kids on some sort of trip every summer, even if it's just a short one.  This year, we decided to do "Branson on a Budget."  Some people would groan at doing things on a budget, but we've become pretty good at find cheap and/or free things to do for vacation and still having a great time!

While we were in Branson, we decided to visit the Celebrity Car Museum.  It was pretty neat!  They had TONS of cars from so many of our favorite movies, and they even had two cars displayed that were damaged in the Branson tornado a few years ago.  Since we (I) took SOOOO many pictures at the car museum, I DO have a layout planned with those pictures!

For today's layout, though, I chose a family picture we had taken at the museum, and I used Sketch #277 from Creative Scrappers.

Scooby Doo is a favorite of our entire family, so it was the perfect backdrop for our family picture!
