XO XO

I love it when you have a "traditional" picture. And I guess this one isn't too much of a tradition, but since it's the second time I've done it, I'll probably end up doing it again and it'll BECOME a tradition...LOL!!

This photo was taken on the train at Lake Compounce. When we go to Lake Compounce, we tend to jump on the train first, which takes you to the other side of the park (it's an amusement park like a Six Flags). We jump on the Water Rafting ride, usually right when the park opens, and ride it as many times as possible as there's not usually a line at that time. Then we continue on with the rest of the day soaked! Well...it's usually hot and we usually wear clothes that dry off relatively quickly, but...

Musn't Oversleep

I really love how this layout came out! The title was actually a word art by Studio Bethany, but it just didn't really match the layout, so I recreated it using a font and the alphabet that came with the kit!

Another day...another layout! LOL

Nook

I totally LOVE to read. As soon as they came out, I "needed" the Barnes & Noble Nook! I did the research and this is the device I though would suit me best! Totally love it and would not want to have to be without it! Besides the fact that I can take it with me everywhere and buy a new book anywhere I am, since I recently moved I have MUCH less space than before and all the books I had can now be put on this device that is about the size of ONE book! Actually thinner! If you're on the fence - BUY IT!!

Anyway, figured my love of my nook deserved a layout....

The Digi Dares

I hadn't played around with the Digi Dares in a while, and now I have done two in like 7 days of one another! LOL

This is for this week's dare - #193...the dare flair:

• Main photo in three sections - now, I might have cheated here, but I suppose it's open to interpretation. Although the main photo is obviously the background, I did take that photo and split it in three below. I am thinking I'm covered.
• Use water, waves, droplets on the layout
• At least three shades of blue
• One word title!
  

This was for the previous dare - #192 - Famous Last Words

Dare Flair:

• At least 5 phrases that have stuck with you
• Credit who said it
• Use Arrows
• At least one letter or symbol from your favorite alpha
  

Credits go to:

• HAPPY - Kit is Refreshed by Amy Stoffel; Border by Sahlin Studio, Alpha by CD Mukosky (excuse the spelling if it's wrong!); Template by Scrapping with Liz
• WE SAID - Kit is Poseys & Pinwheels by Tracie Stroud & Decrow Designs

And that's all! Now I am waiting for the next dare....every so patiently....NOT!!!

Good Night

I have always LOVED Color Play over at Elemental Scraps! Since I have recently become part of the Creative Team - it's even MORE FUN!!! I love the fact that you "make your own kit". Here's my layout using some of the Color Play items.


No real credits - I will just link you up to Color Play at Elemental!

Thanks for stopping by.

Colorful

I totally love this layout! I actually created this layout while in the emergency room with my daughter. She had a whole boatload of things wrong with her. And yes, I thought to grab my laptop before we left for the ER...I have been there with her before. LOL While she was sleeping/resting, I was able to scrap. It works well that way.

Relax

I am just LOVING this layout!!! To me it shows action, although there really isn't any. Go figure! And as I show this layout, let me remind you about SBG's 7th Birthday party going on! There's lots to do so head on over there and check it all out!!

Sunshine Splash Swim

I have a bunch of backyard pool pictures...this particular one was such a great action shot, I just had to scrap it!

I don't normally get into real life on here, but this photo, with my son having so much fun makes me realize how lucky I am to have landed where I did. My kids and I are in a cute apartment with really great landlords who I feel lucky enough to also be able to call friends.

Anyway - back to the layout...

Sidekick

It's so seldom I scrap just for the joy of it...but this is one of those layouts! I had bought this kit by Lauren Reid a little while ago because yellow and kraft are my favorites! And since I've been on a grey kick lately, it really was perfect. The alpha is Shawna Clingerman's from my days on her team...I still think her stuff is TOTALLY AWESOME!



And that's it! I still have layouts to be posted, so take a peek back when you can!

My Chair

I love this layout! I just makes me happy - just like the kit I created it with! If it wasn't one of NeeNee's templates, I would probably think it would be an AWESOME QP! Oh well! LOL

Thanks for taking a minute from your day to peek at my creative ventures!

More Devin...

Well my guest CT spot for Wild Dandelions is over, but it was TOTALLY AWESOME while it lasted! I would definitely apply for Meg's team again! But I definitely have more to show you from her designs, plus other stuff as well!

So every month, Elemental Features one of their AWESOME designers for the month and this month, it's JENN CK! I love her designs and her templates!
