More layouts...

Rough day today....but I have a few layouts to share. I love this outfit that Oma Linda bought the girls....I hope it still fits next summer, because the only time they got to where them was for these photos. As you can see...they were difficult during our little photo shoot, not sure why I've been having such a hard time getting them to take pictures.

Kasia Designs is a guest at The Lily Pad this month. I used her new goodies and some other pieces from their Febraury BYOC collection.
With Valentine's Day coming up....digital designers are all shifting to love-themed kits. Krystal Hartley is releasing this adorable kit for just a $1 today only!
And this is the layout I made with it...with a recent photo of Matthias and I at the girls' bday party.
I didn't sleep well last night, which always means a rough day to follow. In the past, these were great days to scrap...but recently I've been zapped of all creativity, struggling to finish pages.

I'll be back tomorrow with a new page from Kasia Designs and a little tiny freebie from me!

New Layouts

Ack! I've already been neglecting my blog! And I have so many new pages to show you! We celebrated the girls' birthday last Sunday with a small party...just immediate family and a few close friends. It was hard on me, but when I saw the girls glowing in their princess dresses...I decided it was worth it. Matthias bought the girls fancy dresses back in August...and the girls had been admiring them since then. Ava started jumping up and down when she saw me take it out of their closet. She loves getting all dressed up.

Auntie Tyree bought the girls some fluffy princess slippers...they are so cute! But they have about an inch platform sole, and made it difficult to walk. Ava didn't care. She wouldn't let us take them off...she freaked when we tried! Here's a pic of the slippers....

Here is a layout I did with the newest photos of the girls. Ava refuses to smile for the camera...you'd think it would be the opposite since she's such a diva, but no...she turns her head or scowls.

I used the latest new release from Holliewood Studios, Hoot Do You Love? Isn't it cute?


I was really feeling nostalgic about the girls turning two...and scrapped another page from their birthday...their original birthday, lol!

Kasia's been designing like crazy....this kit was released last Friday!


While I was feeling nostalgic....I scrapped a page from our Wedding. Matthias and I had to argue a bit over how many years we've been married....six going on seven! Hasn't felt like it's been that long, and yet I feel like I can't remember life without him!


Another new kit by Kasia!

whew....long post today! That's what I get for not posting in a while...I manage to at least scrap one page a day, so they add up! Here's a page with Bella on Christmas Day opening her tea set...


This kit is on sale for 25% off at Oscraps.

Aiden is always wanting to see the pages I made of him. I drug myself out of bed when we got snow so I could take pictures of the kids. Aiden loved playing out in the snow and seems happy I have pictures of it. He didn't quite understand the "artistic" viewpoint of my layout though...he asked why the big picture wasn't in color, lol!


I still can't believe I made it onto Jen U's creative team! That is my most recent team I joined. I love all of her designs! The kit I used is called "Knocking on Winter's Door". It's a collab with Phuong Ton and is available at ScrapbookGraphics.

I'll try to update my blog daily from now on, lol! It's hard to catch up all in one day!

Anybody reading this? Anybody out there? Leave me a line!

A couple of challenge layouts

I've been scrapping! Sometimes when I'm running low on creative mojo, I participate in challenges to jumpstart my creativity. I've been feeling particularly yucky the past week...and not surprisingly I've felt totally drained of all creativity. Here are a few challenge layouts I've done....

For the Scraplift challenge at Shabby Pickle, we were asked to scraplift Jazzmin (a designer at SP). What is a scraplift? Well...it's basically where you copy someones page....whether you copy the layout of the page or the theme, or even just the colors. Here is the page I chose to lift:
And here is my page:

The next challenge is a challenge at After Five Designs, and we were asked to use this template on our page:
And here is the page I made:

I'm still not feeling overly inspired...but I was pleased with how these layouts turned out.

Oh! I almost forgot! Today is Dollar Day at Funky Playground Designs. They put new products on sale for just a buck! I used this kit by Laura Bratcher.
And here is my layout...

Not much more going on...Aiden returned to school this week, so he's happy. The girls are sick again, or are teething....either way their noses are running and they are sleeping a lot. I'm hoping they'll get feeling better....we're planning on throwing them a birthday party this Sunday! I'll be back tomorrow with more layouts!
