MDS Blog Hop! Summertime Fun

Hi there!!!! Welcome, welcome….oh I hope you have had a good week. I had a GREAT week. On Monday I spent the day with my handsome hubby, while Nana and Papa kept an eye on the boys. We started our day with breakfast at Ruby's, a little diner at the end of the Balboa Beach pier, then we went for a long, long, long walk on the beach, then lunch at BJ's, a little more time just relaxing on the beach by ourselves, then off to a hotel in Anaheim to get ready to go to an Angel's game. Growing up in So. Cal. led me to be an Angels fan (I didn't become a Braves fan until I moved to Atlanta), but this game – this was AWESOME! You see – there is this (SUPER CUTE) young rookie on the team named Mike Trout – and he is SO FUN to watch (seriously, he is an AMAZING ballplayer and should be named Rookie of the Year) well, anyhow – my husband has decided that it's a win win situation – he bought FRONT ROW seats, just past the Angels dugout so that "I" could watch the game up close. Well, I am so glad he did, because I got his autograph!!!! WooHoo!!! Anyhow…. about my page:

 On Sunday, Papa had a great idea to set out the sprinkler for the boys. I am so glad he did. I honestly believe that some things are necessary during childhood, and this is one of them. It was so fun to watch my boys just running around without a care in the world, soaking up one of the best moments of summer…

I took these photos on my phone, and love the warm vintage look that they have. I wanted the page to be pretty simple, with a bit of a vintage vibe, so I used the frames from the Fan Fair Ensemble against an Early Espresso background that I added texture to by using the Natural Compostitions overlays and the Vintage Overlays. I used my favorite alphabet punch – Lauren's Letters filled with Summer Starfruit and Cherry Cobbler polka dots and Midnight Muse and Gumball Green. The little polka dots at the bottom are from Candlelight Christmas, but I just searched for dotted line in the new global search feature.
