a birthday cake

I made this fun flip-flop cake for my girl's birthday. (check it out on my other blog) I chose Sherri Tierney's Early Spring Morn kit for this layout. I really like how it turned out. The font is CK Becky.

I made a little treat for you :)

bouncy!

We went to my brother's to try out the trampoline the other day. My munchkin loves to bounce and loved being on the trampoline.
I quickly found the perfect kit for these pictures. Bella Gypsy has a kit called Get Bent, Taxman! The colors in the kit complimented the picture perfectly. I also used a clipping mask from CoffeeShop. Go check it out, it's an amazing site full of fun stuff.

to the moon and back

This layout is from Digital Candy's Copy Cat Challenge. Check out the original here

I used the Digital Candy blog train kit My Kind Of Rocket. I made some of the papers and elements brighter because it looked a little washed out. The word art is from Miss Erin's Scraps' Blast Off kit from the blog train over at Ginger Scraps.

got toys?

This was from a scraplift challenge over at Elemental Scraps. I used the kit Slowpoke by Bella Gypsy. I've used that kit many times, there's a lot of different ways to mix up the paper and elements.

i'm NOT a girl

We bought this "I'm Not A Girl" shirt from Old Navy the day we found out that we were having a boy and then let everyone find it the next day when we moved. I had already done a layout for some of these pictures, but I just didn't love it. It was one of the first ones I did and there's a few of those I want to redo.

The template is from Chrissy W's challenge at Elemental Scraps. The kit I used is by Sherri Tierney, also from Elemental Scraps. It's called Early Spring Morn.

laughter and tears

There's a challenge over at Brownie Scraps with LeenieLou Designs April '09 Semi-Homemade Template.
The kit is called Priceless and it's by Designs by Ramona. It's not in the store, but she's got lots of awesome kits.

splish splash

Over at Ginger Scraps there is a great template challenge. This is what I did with it. My munchkin is a waterbaby and loves to splash! I used the kit My Life by Stolen Moments. The water drops are actually part of a tree element. It's just perfect for this layout.

lego fun

I found this awesome template over at Linzy's blog. We had so many pictures from our trip to the Lego display that I didn't know what to do with all of them. I found this template and managed to fit most of the good pictures into place. It's a great template to display lots of memories.

I liked the bright colors of this photo and this kit was perfect for it. It's "a little charm" by Sherri Tierney and it's the Inspired by challenge at Elemental Scraps.

This template challenge is from Elemental Scraps. I used designs by Bella Gypsy - Slowpoke. It's a really cute kit that I'm getting a lot of use out of.

Christie's Altered Candy Challenge - April

I made a few attempts to work with the kit Christie provided for Digital Candy's April Altered Candy Challenge. This is the one that I liked the most. I altered the colors of the background papers and photo frame to be a little more yellow. I darkened the stitches so that they would stand out more on the pale background.
