Speed Scraps

I'm a sucker for Speed Scraps. They inspire me to create layouts I wouldn't normally create. I think that is pretty cool. I also think it is amazing that the whole group has the same instructions & the layouts come out so differently. It's so fun to review the layouts after the scrap hour is done & see what the others have created.

On Thursday night, I found a Speed Scrap at Pretty Scrappy. I had never been there before so I had to quickly register myself in the forum & gallery before the scrap started.

I used a new collection of kits called Tuscan Days by Helen. I also found a picture from a wine party back in 2004. The neighbors of my father-in-law hold the wine party every year. When I found the picture on Thursday, I just knew I wanted to scrap it. I looked so young, relaxed & thin. (it was pre-babies)

Helen's new collection of Tuscan Days kits can be found at GoDigitalScrapbooking.com.

Kaitlyn & Papa

I stumbled across these photos of Kaitlyn & papa today. I think these photos are so precious, I wanted to record this time.I knew the colors in the photos would be just perfect to go with Helen's new Mom's Garden Add Ons. You should see the elements in these kits. There is so much to choose from & I love the colors. Most of the elements I used were from the 3rd add on. A couple flowers were from Add on #2.

Bethany (Elegant Word Art) had a wonderful word art for Papa's on her blog that I thought would work well with these photos.

Blue Bells by Helen

This is a new kit by Helen called Blue Bells (available at GoDigitalScrapbooking.com)

I just love the elements in this kit. She created some awesome elements in great colors.

Take a look at the layout I created of Kaitlyn.

Here's the birthday card I created for my mom's birthday.
