How was your weekend? I hope that you had as wonderful weather as we had. It was gorgeous ALL weekend long. Made for a terrific weekend down at the camper. And the back of my neck is so sunburned. lol. It was facing the sun pretty much the whole time we were throwing horseshoes. Had to throw against Shannon the first and last game. (the bum) And he beat me both times. Fortunately we had a win in between. And I threw a 6 pack, but it was during practice, when no one else be Shannon and the dogs were there. But I did it. For those of you who don’t know horseshoes (and that was me until last year), a 6 pack is 2 ringers in a row. Not an easy feat for a begininger. Actually, I’ve only thrown 1 other one. Well, I wasn’t gonna win any awards for my arm on Saturday, but a girls gotta start somewhere. I was pretty impressed with Shannon too, he’s stepped up his game. It was a good weekend.
So today (Monday) is my debut at Inspiration Lane. I’m so excited. And I’m so excited for you to see what I’ve done. And learned. Hopefully it will make me a better designer. First let me show you the collab between me and Kiki Halbert. It’s a masculine kit, Strong Silent Type.
And take a look at the pages that Elaine and Lynn did for me with this collab.
I absolutely loved working on this kit. I so wish I had made time to scrap some of the photos I have of Shannon and the dogs. This kit is just perfect for your mens photos. And I just love what my girls did with it. Aren’t they awesome layouts!!! And there’s more to come. lol
But first I wanta share a little something that goes on over at Inspiration Lane every Wednesday. They call it Wish for it Wednesday. And the cool thing is this week, we’re wishing for it everyday, thanks to NSD coming up next weekend. 
And if you look closely at the ad you’ll see that my grant a wish day is Monday. Now I do only have a few things in the store but don’t let that stop you. Take a look at the store and then stop by the thread in the forums and make your wish. You never know which ones or how many I’ll grant.
Another new kit that is being debuted tomorrow at Inspiration Lane is one that came from my heart. I remember Mamais a tribute to my grandmother and my mother. It has a terrific vintage/heritage feel and I hope you’ll like it. It along with the 2 paper packs, Black Tie and Zach’s PJs will be on sale all week at 25% off. Please take a look.
And I adore what Lynn and Elaine did with it. Just to give you an idea on how versitile it can be.
I hope you like what you see. And I hope you’ll stop by my store tomorrow.
Here’s a peek at what the freebie that goes with Strong Silent Type.
And don’t forget to stop by and check out the full collab done by Kiki Halbert and I at Inspiration Lane.
I’m off to bed to be able to get up and get my butt to the gym. I’m hoping that I didn’t mess myself up by missing the last 2 days while I was at the campground. I forgot my tennis shoes so I didn’t really do any good amount of walking like I should have. But I ate sensibly. That’s gotta count for something?????
Have a great Monday!

Morning Poobah!!! How’s your fine self today!!! Just having some coffee adn then I’m going to blog a little bit soon….

Eating sensibly does count. Glad you had fun this weekend. It was too hot here. The air quality sucked and we stayed in during the hot parts of the day.
Congrats on the new store! I totally forgot next weekend is NSD weekend. I’m attending an expo. Pooh. I haven’t had time to scrap lately anyway with the direction I’m taking my blog.
Hope your Monday is off to a good start. Don’t overdo it at the gym.
