Beating the Heat

It has been HOT. Really hot. It was up to 117 yesterday! And for those of you who like to say, "a dry heat isn't as bad", I say, you havent suffered through 117. Once you get over 110, hot is hot. To make matters worse, it really isn't a dry heat right now because we are in the middle of the "Monsoon" season. Lots of humidity. It hasn't rained yet, but even when it does, it doesn't really cool down. Basically we are sweaty and yucky and crabby. So we do what all the east coasters do during the worst of winter. We hunker down and stay inside. We watch movies, play games. And I scrapbook ;)

To begin with, the ScrapTiffany reveal (part II) for the monochromatic challenge was posted on Friday. For anyone not familiar with the term, monochromatic means using one color. Different shades of that color are fine. Here is my take on the challenge:

Lots of blue to go along with Little Miss's eyes and shirt.

For fun, I did this one:

Lots of Pebbles here, including that blue ribbon. I love these Pebbles spools of ribbon. The border was punched with one of my new Kreaxions punches.

I got some good news on Facebook yesterday too. I was one of the winners of the Echo Park Walk in the Park Challenge!! I think the prize is their new line! I am so excited to get my hands on it!! Here is one layout I made with Walk in the Park using a Stephanie Howell sketch:

And I told you I was behind on my thank yous, right? So here are a few more using A Walk in the Park:

I guess that is enough for now. We are watching Wall E and eating ice cream. The air conditioner is pumping, so all is right with the world :) Hope you're all having a great weekend!
