All You Need is the Right Hat

We have always gotten a kick out of Austin and the silly "costumes" he came up with when he was younger. Here are some photos of him being silly at about 5 years old with various items he's put together to be someone important! I used another one of Joanne6523's N'Titled files to add a finishing touch to this layout. If you are interested in the file, you can get it and 20 other files in one download for only $10 at That's Scrap, Inc. It's a steal and you only have until October 31 to get it at this price! File formats include AI, KNK, GSD, SVG, bitmap, EPS and several are available as WPC.

Today I'm Gonna Be....

Here is an interesting and simple KNK file that went perfectly with my son's "Cowboy Day" at preschool. It's part of the N'Titled Membership at That's Scrap, Inc. and was created by Joanne6523. Austin had so much fun that day dressing up like a cowboy. I was given the photo of the preschoolers taking a pretend nap after eating their cowboy-style meal and it really added some character to the layout : )

Artist @ Work

I decided to start working on some of the photos in my son's book that are strictly preschool-related.  I had a lot of fun making this page for a couple of reasons.  The title was FUN!!!  But I also dug thru his box of preschool papers...yeah that box where I have saved everything and this was from what 4 years ago?  Well it paid off.  I had this picture of him painting on an art easel in class and I figured out from all of his papers in the tub what exactly he was "creating."  I took a photo of his painting and put it on the easel that I also created to embellish the page.  This is something I plan to do for both of my kids' artwork.  I wish I could save it all but I am sure documenting a photo of it in a scrapbook will be so much more appreciated than in a box somewhere in the future.  OK credits... The fabulous title is by Joanne6523 and you can find it  for sale @ That's Scrap, Inc.  Do you want that easel?  Rita of Designs by Sky created that file and you can also find it @ That's Scrap, Inc. 

A Barrel Full of Monkeys

I have been working on this layout off and on for two months. I won this KNK file in a wishlist giveaway from That's Scrap, Inc. It's a fun file by ScrapbookCircus that fit nicely with the activities of my son when he was 4 years old playing at the park and picking cherries @ his Uncle's house. I played with my new Koh-I-Noor pencils on this layout and have to say that I just LOVE them!

Learning Lessons

Earlier this summer I signed up to host (and participate in) a 25-card swap with members of the That's Scrap Inc. forum. All 25 members had 3 months to complete their cards and the deadline is quickly approaching...it's August 31. So I didn't think I was procrastinating since I started these cards the last week of July. That's a whole month early, right? Well silly me, I found the coolest idea for a card and decided to scraplift it. Did I consider what this would all entail????? That's a big fat NO. I am almost done but thought I'd give you a sneak peek of what I've been playing around with. Kathy whined because this is all I showed her....you probably will too LOL!

Having Fun with Scooby Doo

About 4 years ago, my son attended a birthday party for a little girlfriend of his. The photos I took were so fun and bright that I had to include them in his album. It's so hard to put "pink" in a little boy book, but I pulled it off by using bright shades. Aren't the little dogbone cups adorable? My friend made the Mystery Machine out of an appliance box. It was so cute for the kids. She also had them solve the mystery of the "missing presents." It was an exciting party and this is how I helped to record this memory for him. The die cut files were designed by Joanne6523 of That's Scrap Inc.....aren't they adorable? Thanks for looking! Karon
