Getting something of a break!

Well for the last two and next two days I only have my little guy at home. We are only here for a few days before we go back up to see family. I figured since I had the quiet one-on-one time with him we would try the whole weaning thing. My house looks like the cup and bottle isle of Baby's R Us has exploded. He seems to do fine without me but I just can't seem to get him to drink out of ANYTHING! The thing that has worked the best so far... a plain old cup that he will sip out of (thank you Ericka). Oh well. The good news is that he does take naps so I have had some quality scrappin time! Rebecca_psp recently put out a cute kit named "In My Pocket" over at My Life and Scrap. Here is the preview:


And here is my layout. I really had fun with this one. The pic is of a friend of mine's daughter. We recently had a great playdate over here where we filled a kiddie pol with mud and let the kids go nuts. It was so much fun! Anyways, the layout:

Template by Amy M.
Overlay by Design by Fraisinette

Finally a real blog post! Well like I said I am traveling again on Friday so I am not sure when my next real blog post will be but I am going to work my darnedest to get you a freebie today or tomorrow! Until then!

Excited about a Layout!

Ok I just finished this layout that I am in love with!!! It was for the scrap mix challenge over at MLAS. I used a template by With Love by Mushy and it was GREAT! She does an amazing job of adding effects into her templates. I messed with these a little because the Black and White worked better for me than the Sepia style she had but it still was awesome! Anyways... Here it is:
I used the "Ready For Sun" kit by Kimi's Kreations available at MLAS!

Fun Layout and a Photo Mask Freebie

Today I have really had a blast making some pages. I had these cute pictures of Lillian scribbling on Linus with some markers. I made up my mind not to start off with a template because it seems that that's the only way I can get a page going. I will admit it was a stretch but I loved the idea of using some scribbly photo masks. Somehow I did not have any downloaded so I whipped some up with the handy Wacom! Anyways here is the Layout:

And Finally a Freebie! Since I had to make those photo masks from scratch I guess I am obligated to share! You can click on the image or HERE to download. Enjoy

This week I have put my name out there for my first two Creative teams! *fingers crossed*

Template Challenge

SO I completed the Template Challenge over at My Life and Scrap and I am very pleased with my results. The template is by Katie Designs and I used the "Simply Spring" kit by Farrah Smith Designs. I am in love with the simplicity of this kit. And, as wierd as it sounds, I love the color of blue that she used. Right now teal-blue is in style I guess so it isn't easy finding a kit that I like that uses a bold blue. LOvE IT!
