Trouble Loading Pics?

I haven't been able to load pics today, so I went looking into Google Chrome and I'm not the only one. However, there was  temporary solution for those having trouble - if your in HTML mode in your post, you can load the pics there. I just did one on my book blog and it worked.

LMCB #103 - "A Summer's End" @ Sharbot Lake

Hi everyone!!! It's Sunday which means time for a new challenge at Lasting Memories!! Thank you all for joining us last week and showing off that creativity!! This weeks challenge is "A Summer's End". As summer comes to an end, we find ourselves winding down, getting the kid's ready to head back to school and for me, adjusting to the quiet in my house. That's a tough one for me and I find I miss them so much after being home with them all summer. For this weeks LO, I did a page for my album I'm working on for Sharbot Lake. These photo's are from July when we went up to scout out the cottage we rented this past week (gotta love pre-posting!!). Hubby had a cottage there growing up and we went there when we got married as well, so this was a trip down memory lane for him - showing us his childhood and what he did. 

More LO's to come!!

Come on over and show us your take on "A Summers End" and remember, we're looking for Guest DT and we have a giveaway!! See you there!!!

(digital LO using My Memories Suite V3)

No Fear!!

Meet my, no fear whatsoever, 3 yr old niece, Bella! She had no fear when it came to the pool - she would have Ashleigh and her brother Hayden line up on the deck and off they would go. On her call of course and my goodness, when they didn't listen, they got the "talk to the hand" and a what for! LOL!! What a kid!

Have a fabulous day!

It's A "Game Challenge" at Child's Play!

It's a new challenge at Child's Play!! We're challenging you to make a layout inspired by the game "Hungry Hungry Hippos"!! I've been working on some pages from our pool party and thought this is PERFECT!! The colors, the water, even the balls in the water!!! It just works .. so come on over and join the fun at Child's Play and show us your inspiration from this great childhood game!!

Another LO for my 'pool party' pages! Our 9 yr old nephew, Hayden, had a blast jumping in the pool!! We really had a lot of fun that day. Good food, lots of laughs and the kid's really enjoyed our pool. This pool has seen more use this summer that summers past I think!! We were certainly happy to have it!

Have a great day!

Fun In The Sun

It's all about "Fun In The Sun" with this LO! Another page to add with my 'pool party' pages. Our daughter is just a hoot when she wants to be and I have pages dedicated to her many faces and as you can see, this is no acception! LOL! Goofy girl .. she had a blast though!!

DDC #25 - "Mining For Silver"

It's time for a new challenge at Digi Darla's today!! Last week we were "Digging for Gold" and this week we're "Mining for Silver"!! Yes, a few of us mixed these 2 challenges up! Note to self - never do these side by side! LOL! I chose Digi Darla's "Blowing Paper_Windmill" for my creation today. Be sure to hop on over and see what the super talented DT came up with and hope you find some time to dig up some silver and join us this week!!

Everyday Life

Another page for my St Jacobs album! This was a scene we spied from the road and it amazed us how every farm we seen was a working farm and boy, do they work hard. If you look close, there's a little boy working right along side dad in the top photo. "Everyday Life" and this quote seemed to be a fitting title for this LO. 

Enjoy your wknd!

Here's a couple more pages I put together for my St Jacobs album - I'm really having fun making this one and this kit is fabulous! You can purchase it HERE! If you haven't seen my other pages to this album, start HERE! One of the things that I found fascinating was the Mennonite horse and buggies. They all had their reflective triangle, which I was happy to see. On Sunday morning, we heard hundreds going by heading to church. We didn't hear them travel back home till well after dark. Just so calming hearing the clip clop of the horses. The second LO here showcases a couple more 'road trip' pics!!

If you haven't been by in a couple days, August brings a new Designer Highlight at RAKscraps and we get to play with the kits! Click here and here to see the first 4 pages of my album. My aunt and I took a road trip to St Jacobs, which is Amish/Mennonite Country and we had an amazing time and stayed at a little B&B called "By The River". Here's a layout showcasing the photo's I took right from our little back deck. The scenery was incredible and you could hear the river rapids and wildlife.
