The whole gang

Back row: Kelly, Grandpa Fenton, Lyn, Grandma Fenton, Mary
Middle row: Ben, Megann, Bailey, Mason
Front row: Skye, Spencer, Campbell, Mark

Continued......












Grandma likes to gamble in the restaurant/bar that's part of the resort. The little kids spent lots of time in the sand box and on the swing set which is between the restaurant and our cabin.



More lake action








FIshing, biking, swimming, and relaxing. The kids spent their time fishing off the dock, wading in the lake, and riding their bikes. It was great to see very little "screen" time.


Lovin the Lake





Bailey caught the biggest fish of the kids, a 14.5 inch bass. Campbell and Ben went to the Ice Age Trail Visitor Center and tried to catch bugs to feed the fish and turtles, and also got to hold the fox snake.

Shoutout to Sheetload

Hey- someone introduced me to this neat site with lots of freebies, check it out. http://sheetload.blogspot.com/

The June issue of SheetLoad of Cards is finalized and ready to be downloaded!!
This month we focus on using those $1 stamps ($1.50 for our Canadian readers) you know we all just HAVE to buy. This issue will hopefully encourage you to get them out, dust them off and make some great cards with them.
Our sketch this month was designed by Lee (a.k.a. ayah) and Paula Bloom so graciously accepted a spot as our Guest artist for June. Make sure to check back later in the month for a special episode of "Meet the Artists" where you can learn more about Paula.
For our SheetLoad Showcase this month, we are going to try something new. Make sure to check back on June 3rd to find out how you can "play" along with us.
Also we will be featuring some great blog candies that tie directly into our theme of "dollar stamps". You won't want to miss the chance to win some goodies, am I right?!
Enjoy!

An oldie but a goodie


Just found this picture in an odd file on my computer so I thought I might as well post it. I have an old "frame" set from SU! that looks great in the black and white around the teal letters. Red seemed like a good accent color to make it pop.

Punches a'plenty



This card uses the scallop punch



The sun card uses the corner punches


The green card is tricky. I used the slit punch to make the scalloped border
