Simply Lovely

Another case of - "Hey - there's a CT call - what do I have by that designer?" It's always win win for me - whether I apply or not - I pull out product and use it! Can't ask for more than that - well....if I apply and make the team - that's always a plus too! LOL

Stay True

I decided to do the Scrappin' with Liz template challenge for December! I always love a good template - and a good challenge!!

The rules here were....

• Use the template provided (obviously)
• Four living things - no more no less - elements or photos - I have three butterflies and my daughter.
• All patterned papers - now I am thinking the envelope paper that I used in the background is probably pushing it, but I went with it anyway.
• And last - four lines of journaling.

Here's what I came up with....

Credits go to:

• Kit - True To Yourself - Pink Reptile Designs
• Template - Scrappin' with Liz December template challenge freebie
  

So go check out Liz's blog and snag an AWESOME template while you're there!!

Happy & Content

First - I need to say HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY to my BEAUTIFUL daughter Amandalyn! (who just so happens to be shown in the layout below!) I love you Manda Bear!!!

I have to say that I totally LOVE the way this layout came out! It's a little bit different for me - and I must say I got the inspiration from a layout Lor of Studio Rosey Posey created - so Thanks Lor!!

Kit for Journey Layout - Up Close by Karen Lewis Designz

That's it for today!! Thanks for stopping by!! :)

Just for Me - More!

Sometimes I see a Creative Team call and I apply for it - sometimes I get it and sometimes I don't. But it always makes me go back to that particular designer's products and use them. So the way I figure it - it's pretty much WIN WIN. I get layouts done and I used products that I have purchased and may not have necessarily used yet.

So here are two layouts that got created from the Captivated Visions CT call.


Kit is In Her Teens on the Talk Talk Talk layout
Template is from the YOU COMPLETE ME collab from Fiddle Dee Dee & Fizzy Pop Designs



Kit is It's About Him on the My Boy layout.
A template was also used on My Boy but I can't remember whose - sorry!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Devin - Third Grade

What a cutie my little boy is! Okay - so I am biased - sue me! This is one of the photos that was taken during our family photo shoot in September, 2010. As we all know, school photos are VERY expensive and it's been a very TIGHT year financially. So I am considering the family photo shoot Devin's third grade picture as well!


Credits go to:

• Template - Studio Buttercup - Simple Buds Volume 1
• Kit - Studio Baers Garten - 365 Everyday - August
  

Capture A Moment

Another for layout here for Studio True Blue! I actually created this on when I was part of the SBG Studio Crew. :)
