Oh how I LOVE these templates

My buddy Angie Kovacs has come out with these AMAZING new templates. They are gorgeous and include fantastic wordpaths on them. They are totally cute and a refreshing change in the template department. If you want your own set of these templates just head over to Elemental Scraps and grab them. Here is the link... May I have a word?

For this layout I used Natali Designs kit called Fall Delight.

One more just for me

Another layout using a template and kit by Kay Miller. This kit is called Simple Pleasures. I think this is probably my most favourite photo of Natalia and her Daddy together. I snapped it today as the three of us were cleaning up and playing outside. Daddy had just helped Natalia climb a tree and she was thrilled!

2 layouts just for me

No creative team work with these layouts. These are all for me. One of my favourite designers, Kay Miller, had a sale and of course I had to snatch up some great new kits.

Here's my layouts.




Of course, these next two layouts are creative team work for Elemental Scraps. The first layout is done with a gorgeous bright collab kit from Juno Designs and Valorie Brown. It's called Rainbow Punch. The template is by Angie Kovacs and can be found in her new set called May I have this Word.



I also picked up this fabulous set called Pumpkin Pie Spice. It's a kit filled with fantastic fall themed patterned papers. The layout also uses elements and wordart from Natali Designs.

Time to jump out of the box!

This layout couldn't possibly be more out of the box for me. But, I love it. I am so thrilled with the results. Chrissy W. created this new kit call Favourite Place. It will be available starting October 10th and if you grab in on the 10th it's only 1.00. You absolutely can't beat that price. It will be available at Elemental Scraps. I also used one of Chrissy's templates for this layout. It's from her {Still} Mixin' it up set.

This is one of my favourite photos of Emma. I took it when she was only 2 years old with a brand new camera. For whatever reason I am still drawn to this photo. I can see the focus in her face as she plays in the sand. I think that must be the draw for me. It's one photo that reminds me of the time when Emma was so young. She has really grown up too fast.

2 more for today

Ok, so my scrapping mood has been pretty pathetic lately. It's probably because my husband is away in China and so I have been on my own with the girls. I can honestly say that I would never make a good single parent and I am in awe of all the people that do single parent their children. My husband is my life-line to sanity and without him I am going a little crazy.

Anyways, here is what I have managed to do lately. The first layout is done using a template by Chrissy W and a kit by Designz by Kristi and Amanda Kay. The kit is called Black Tie Affair and it is gorgeous. The wordart is by Natali and the paper tear is from Jen Caputo.



This next layout is one that I finished about a week ago and I didn't think that I liked it but the more I look at it the more I like it. The kit was a sampler freebie by Paint the Moon.

Probably my favourite layout to date

I love this layout! I love the photograph, I love the kit, and I love the template.



The template is from Chrissy W's newest set called With this Ring. It is my absolute favourite set of hers. The kit is called Lovebug by Jennifer Barrette.

I also wanted to put a plug in here today for the company called Inkubook. It's a photobook printing company. I had a 8.5 x 8.5 book printed by them. They are giving away a free book up to 120 pages. Anyways, I printed a soft cover book with about 120 layouts of Emma and I am thrilled! The colours are gorgeous, the photos are crisp and it shipped pretty quick. I think the total I paid was about 15.00 for shipping. The only think that you need to keep in mind is that their books are 8.5 x 8.5 instead of the normal 8x8 so you need to resize accordingly. I only had my book resized for 8x8 so there is some white showing on the tops of my pages but this really doesn't bug me at all. This company is definetly worth checking out seeing as the normal cost of a 120 page soft cover album is only 28.95 and that in itself is crazy cheap.

Psychedelic Funk

This month I am working with the fabulous Web Designz by Kristi at Digital Candy. The first kit that I have had the pleasure of working with is called Psychedelic Funk. It's full of bright bold colours with a 60's flare. For the layout of Natalia I used a template by Chrissy W from her Jael-icious set. and the layout of Emma used a template from Jennilyn.
