Best Crew Ever and Whale Watching - Queen & Co.

I hope you will join me on the Queen and Company blog today.  I am sharing two different layouts with their Foam Front Shaker sets.  Although these Foam Fronts were designed for cards, they can be used on Layout's as well.  

I loved the idea of our Whale Watching trip from 2012.  It was our last excursion of the weekend before school started.  I used watercolor paper and some paint to get the whole splashing water effect.    For all the fun items I used, head over to the Q&C blog.  

For my second layout, I used a bunch of leftover Crate Paper to show that you can also use patterned papers with the Foam Fronts.  Here I used the Solo Heart Foam Front.  

We were in Texas when I took this photo of my favorite boys. 

 I love Bub's shirt!  He wasn't grumpy, the sun was in his eyes.  

Thanks for stopping by.  Head to the Q&C blog to see the rest!

I Can't Even Stand It - Paper Issues

What do I even need to say?

This photo has to be the best photo in history.  Right?  My girl usually stays clear of the pool.  This is not a common sight.  But my boy in the pool, that is all the time!!

I created this layout for the fun Spring Crop over at Paper Issues.  

It is for the Around The Bend Challenge.  You are supposed to journal around your photo or page,  Instead, I did a title around the port hole!  It kinda fits!!!

I used Bella Blvd Secrets of the Sea collection.  It is available over at Paper Issues for 20% off using code: Mary-Ann.
