Snow Tubing Fun - Scrapbook Layout

Hi everyone!  Well, school winter vacation is coming to an end and my kids are pretty much exhausted.  We've had a week full of activities and now they're doing all the homework and projects they've put off for the last 7 days.  And I'm tackling the laundry!  :-) 

Today I'm sharing a scrapbook page I made of some pictures I took of my kids and their Nana snow tubing this past week in New Hampshire.  The kids LOVED that Nana went tubing with them...and loved EVEN MORE that she screamed all the way down the hill...every time!  I squeezed quite a few pictures onto this page.  In hindsight, I should have done 2 pages.  But I'm very excited that I finally had a chance to use my new Peachy Keen stamps...the Critter Faces...to make four penguins, one for each of my kids.  Aren't they cute?  I was thrilled to find a PK stamp with glasses since my middle son wears them...isn't his penguin just adorable?  Oh, I'm going to have fun playing with these!

Oh my goodness...what a cutie-pie layout! I love this and the embossing is just great! I wish we had just a liiiiitle bit of snow around here...at least for a few days. It's 82 degrees and beautiful and I love it, but your pics sure make all that snow look like fun!
Just wanted to tell you thank you for your sweet comments about the DT. You are just the sweetest!
