My Little Superhero

Here's another layout using one of Joanne6523's files that I did at our scrapbooking camp earlier this month. I cut the really cute file (Superhero) out on my KNK and putting the layout together was lots of fun! I wanted to draw attention to the best of the 4 photos so I lifted it up with foam dots to catch your eye. I'd love to know what you think!

Happy Birthday Nathaniel!

Haunted House Fun

Ducky gave our forum the most adorable file to use for our monthly challenge.
Here is my rendition of it. I have the cutest charms to add yet and of course..lol, pictures
:O)

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. 

File Conversions

Wheew! The file conversion is quite a process! But I think I have most of it figured out! I do need some additional help with SVG, so if anyone wants to test some out for me, give a holler!

I Got my Scrappin Mojo Back!

It's been forever since I've done some serious scrapbooking! Although you never really forget (like riding a bike) it is very hard to get back into the "mode" to get layouts done. We had our monthly scrapbook club crop on Saturday and here is what I accomplished.

First of all, here is a layout utilizing a file that Kathy made for me. It's a little boy with a bug jar which accurately depicts what my son did with the ladybug he found. The ladybug inside the jar is one of the challenge files over on the TSI Forum created by Princess Ladybug (Rhonda). Thanks again Kathy for making this for me to use!

The next series of layouts are of our vacation to Colorado in 2005. The first one utilizes a file that I received for free from Designs by Sky (Rita) for completing one of her challenges several months ago. I'm so glad that I remembered I had this file. It was probably my favorite page of the day...I love the western look! I used Art Stix to give the frames an aged look.

Our favorite pasttime in Colorado is stopping at EVERY stream or river to throw rocks. To my knowledge nobody has made a file for this activity so I decided to make my own. You can see by the little spot where I have a wrap-around arrow that the rock is in mid-air. I'm probably going to switch it up a little to make a Skipping Rocks file for the professional rock throwers. My kids aren't quite that good; although this summer my son who is now 8 1/2 is getting a pretty good handle on skipping them!

The next one is a 2-page layout that I just put together using up photos of Craig with the kids and our train adventures. I don't know who made the train file but I just love the detail!

Thanks for looking :)
