let's go for a car ride

A few months ago I got a small camera that would fit in the diaper bag. One that meant I didn't have to drag around another big bag besides the diaper bag and I could take pictures more easily anywhere. To prove my point, I took a picture of my munchkin while we were driving somewhere. This was one of those pictures where I held the camera over my head and shot the picture, hoping it would turn out. This layout is from a template challenge over at Elemental Scraps. The template is by Chrissy W. and the kit is Isabel Mendez' TroubleMaker. I did change it up a little and darken up the papers. I had a really hard time with this layout. I had tried it with a few other pictures and it just wasn't working for me. This picture just inspired me and I had it done quite quickly.
I'm even featured as an example of this challenge on the blog. (thanks so much!)
Now back to caring for my sick boys. All of them. Sigh.

push start!

Chrissy W sent out this template (which she scraplifted from here) in celebration of National Scrapbooking Day. I used Bella Gypsy's Tomfoolery kit for the layout. For the "push start!" word art, I took Bella Gypsy's All Growed Up alpha and recolored it to match this layout.

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 :)

Don't forget to download One Spring Day. I'll be taking the download option away early in May.

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.

April Candy Mold!

let's swim!

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.
