Cute Kits at Play!

I just love this layout that I created using a variety of wonderful products. The template is by Kristin's Scrap Design & you'll find it in her Lolly Bag. Total Bliss is a wonderful kit by SAS Designs (available at Bits2Kits.com). The wordart is a great new set by Bekah E called It's All About Playtime (found only at Scrappity-Doo-Dah).

One Year Anniversary

Kristin's Scrap Design is one year old. I joined with Kristin last August & it has been a wonderful year. Kristin's templates are so awesome & she is now creating digital scrapbooking kits. She'll be celebrating August 1-15th.

Here's the last two layouts I created. I enjoyed creating both of them.

Photos By Nathan

I think it’s fun to see the world from the eyes of a four year old. Nathan asked to borrow my camera so he could take some pictures. I told him to be very careful, no jumping around, etc. I showed him how to hold the camera & begged him not to drop it. Kaityln was his favorites subject in the beginning. He stood just a foot away from her & snapped his photos. Later he ventured out to take photos of his favorite things: boats, his new spiderman curtains, and his construction equipment. I think the foot photo was just a mistake, since he identified it as his own foot.

June 2009 Calendar

Here's my June 2009 Calendar. I usually make my calendar days before I need it. I like to just print my calendar out using my printer & hang it up on the fridge. It works well for me to record important notes in our schedule.

Cousins playing ball

I created a two page layout with photos I took over Mother's Day weekend. David's nephews were up at his Dad's house & we stopped by to visit.

I used a kit by Colie's Corner from the SYTYCD contest called Feeling Froggy. I love the background paper. The template by Kristin's Scrap Design made putting this layout a snap to put together. The word art "There is nothing that together cousins can't do!!" I found on a Donna's Digital Creations blog.

Tractor Cake

Nathan got to pick out his cake this year for his birthday. We went to talk with the cake lady & found out she has made tractor cakes before. Nathan’s request was a green John Deere tractor with a bucket. He was thrilled with this cake for his fourth birthday.

I made this layout using a template from Kristin's new set: Template Pack 20 . It's available at Kristin's Scrap Design. I love how easy it was to use, since it automatically blended the large photo.

SYTYCD contest at DSA

I've been having great fun following the contest at DigiScrapAddicts. It's cool to see designers layed out like scrappers. I've always known that we all have different styles, but it's really fun to see & pick up the type of designers I like.

I also think that sometimes kits look pretty in previews, but may not work when I try to use them in my layouts. I enjoyed using the mini kit by Ilona Havenaar - Life Is Beautiful.

This was the first time I've used a kit by her & I found her designs to be very usable. I love the word art she included.

It fit perfectly for my layout of me & my sisters. I also used a new template by Kristin's Scrap Design called Template pack no 20. It's great because it automatically comes with the blended photo.

Speaking of Kristin, she's featured in the current DailyScrapper. You can find her interview HERE.
