Reindeer Games

Alton hates having his diaper changed. We made the mistake of trying to change him next to his brand new fire truck on Christmas... you can see how successful we were.

I used the Ziggle Designs kit Reindeer Games for this kit.

Sophisticated Grunge Quick Page 2!

Wow! You guys really liked my previous quick page for this kit! As of this morning I had 300 downloads! I just want to say thank you for all of you who like my "work". It is very gratifying to know that people like the way I "arrange stuff". :)

Happiness is Revised

This was the original page:



I did not have time during the original speed scrap to do an extraction. I had some time yesterday, so I did. I really like the way it came out.


The picture I used has a great sense of motion I think. He is running on the bridge and I think this shows his movement more.


You should check out the Gingerscraps forum. There are weekly and monthly challenges as well as speed scraps throughout the week. Click the Gingerscraps blinkie on my sidebar to get to the blog.

I used the TwoBoyz kit, Backyard Boy for this one. :)

The pictures on my version of the page were from our official Engagement photo shoot. I have always loved these pictures, so I am so happy that I finally have an excuse to scrap them.

Speed Scrap @ Gingerscraps last night

I did my first speed scrap last night. I was supposed to be making dinner, so Shhh! Don't tell my husband. It was a lot of fun and I got this great page out of it.

Trimming the Tree

Alton "helped" us trim the tree last weekend. He had so much fun hindering Daddy's progress to light the tree. :)

I used the Pixie Keepsakes kit, Christmas Tan for this layout. It is a collaboration with Ellie Lash and it is available on sale this weekend at the Gingerscraps store.

I re-did this page because the lights jsuit weren't glowing enough! Did you know that you can adjust the outer glow to be bigger? I didn't know that until I fiddled with it last week.

Painter's Quilt

I absolutely LOVE this kit. The colors are awesome. Here is my layout:

You can get his kit from the Stolen Moments Designs blog now. This is going to be a very versatile kit. Amber is really great about giving you a ton of color options for the elements, so there are a lot to choose from.
I might make some frames for a freebie later. Please let me know what you think!

Disneyland a la Retro Fall

Another trip to Disneyland means another page....


I used the Pixie Keepsakes kit, Retro Fall for this layout. It is currently 30% off for the weekend, so grab it while you can.

Should I make a Quick Page? Let me know!

Busy Busy

I have been a scrapping machine. This is today's page:


My little brother Robert is in the Air Force. He is visiting for "Christmas" from Texas with his girlfriend Robin before he is sent on a mission to Venezuela. So we took Alton and my nephew to Disneyland today.

I used the Ellie Lash kit, Merry and Bright for this layout.

Another Twilight blinkie by request

A little update

So I know it has been very boring around here lately. No new posts in a few days.

I have some VERY exciting news, but I can't talk about it yet. I will have a great post tomorrow including a very lovely (I think) Quick Page for you for your patience.

I will have another post on Sunday too. I just can't wait to share.

Here is my layout. :)
These are two of my favorite pictures from when Alton was born.

The LA Zoo

I took Alton to the zoo for first time in September. Here is a page from that day.

I used the Ziggle Designs kit, Gathering Leaves for the paper, leaves, and alpha. The frame around the giraffe is from the Lliella Designs kit, Fall Folly.
My journaling font is Pea Charmaine, and the other text is Pea Sarah Cute.

Midnight Interlude

This is one of my favorite layouts that I have done in a long time. It is using Amber's newest kit, Midnight Interlude.

I got the idea for the concept of this page from my dear friend Charmaine. She started me in digital scrapbooking and she makes GORGEOUS pages. Check out her blog for some ideas.

Nature Lesson

I used the Ziggle Designs Kit, Gathering Leaves for this layout. I love this kit.

It was one of the first kits I bought... to be honest, I took these pictures just to have appropriately themed pictures for the kit.

Anxiously Awaiting Alton

Here is the newest kit, Anxiously Awaiting - Contemporary. I love it. I hope you like the layout.

Check out Amber's blog to see the rest of the creative team's efforts. They have some great pages!

Love and Joy frames

Download

I think I need to step away from the Love and Joy kit! I can't help myself, I love Christmas. Apparently you do too; I haven't ever had this many downloads, well except the hitting Jacob Black with a Volvo blinkie....

My house smells fantastic right now! I am going to a Thanksgiving potluck for my Home Group tomorrow and I made pumpkin gingerbread trifle to take with me. Ahhh baked goods.

Anyway, on with the show. Make sure you go to Amber's blog, the Love and Joy Alpha is up! I love the Alpha.

Thank you so much for all of your comments and compliments. They mean a lot and they help fuel our creativity so please keep them coming.

I got picked to be on a Creative Team!!!!

Charmaine started me digi-scrapping at the end of July. And today is my first day as a member of the Creative Team for Amber and Stolen Moments. I am so excited!

The layout below is from the new kit, He's Late For Class. I have to say I enjoy the first aspect of being on a creative team, I can get a whole new kit in one day. :)

I took Alton to the Long Beach Aquarium with our friends from church, Dina and her daugher Janelle. Alton loved the aquarium and would say, "Fishy! Fishy!" at each new tank.
