Kirsten’s Babies

KnittinJen is still working her way through the CT, making kits to honor each of the CT’s children. Today she honors Kirsten, who loves her baby dollies, with this kit titled Kirsten’s Babies. You can pick up the kit at Enchanted Studio Scraps HERE and later at Stuff to Scrap.

I made two layouts with this kit using the recipe and scraplift challenges in the Stuff to Scrap forums.  The first has me and the boy during a day at the park. He loves to ride in the sling, he still does. He gets so excited when I pull it out. This sling is a mei tai that I made and is being worn in the side carry.

 

The next is of my family at the amusement park a few summers ago. Big daddy crammed in a bumper boat with two tiny girls. I used a template that I made based on table of contents pages from 2006-07 Creating Keepsakes magazines. So, if you recognize it, that is where it came from :)

I’d love to give this template to you today! I have it in a 12x12

or in my favorite 8.5x11

Enjoy!!!

This Little Piggy

This little piggy went to market.

This little piggy stayed home.

This little piggy got scrapbooked.

And this little piggy did not.

And this little piggy… okay enough!

KnittinJen has done a collab kit with Scraps of Ellay and came up with “This Little Piggy”. This preview is just Jen’s part of the kit. Ellay has a lot of great things in her part of the kit, too. 

Of COURSE, I have a freebie for you: Quickpages in 8.5 and 12x12. Image is linked

Katie’s Dance Mini and a tiny tute

KnittinJen is working her way through the CT kids, using them as inspiration for mini-kits. We’ve seen the mini for Luke and Chawndelle, and today comes Katie. My daughter! Katie is my middle. She loves purple. She likes to dance. She is a good singer. She doesn’t like housework (who does?!). She is a little sassy four-year-old, usually with smudged cheeks, tangled hair, and glasses, and I love her soooo much! The little blond ballerina with the glasses is her absolute favorite thing in this kit. Gee…I wonder why?

here’s how I made the photo fade on this page in PSE:

1. layer two copies of the photo on one layer of paper.

2. click the elliptical marquee tool and set the feather up to 200

3. Create a shape just cutting off the corners and edges of the bottom photo. I had to start way off the edge of the LO.

4. do the same with the top photo, but do it just around the face. In my layers palette I now have a paper, with an oval picture of her whole body on top, and then on the very top layer all I can see is the close up of her face. I hope that helps!

Sunrise, Sunset

As I was driving tonight out in the country where all my relatives live, I had to pull over and grab quick picture of the sunset. I could not only see the usual silhouette of Rattlesnake Ridge and the Horse Heaven Hills, but I could also see off in the distance the silhouette of Mt. Adams. I don’t think I have ever noticed that before while the sun was setting. Albeit brief, it was soothing to take a moment, enjoy the blessing of living on this beautiful earth, and then thinking about all it has to offer my beautiful children who were waiting inside the car.  These sunsets may just keep me living in this town for longer than I ever planned on.

KnittinJen has a new kit out called Sunrise Sunset.

 

My Aunt got mad at me for making a whole layout based on pictures I took while driving :P No one was remotely close to harm while I was snapping photos in the middle of a snow storm in Idaho in May. Just sayin. Point taken, Aunt Karolyn.

You can pick up this kit today from Stuff to Scrap, but you can also get these quickpages while you are at it. Enjoy! Image is linked.

Chandell’s Ellies

Noelle’s daughter Chawndell loves elephants. She collects them. She has a whole bed full of stuffed elephants. KnittinJen made this kit just for her.

There is the kit, and also, as usual from KJ, a set of cardstocks free with purchase.

 

I’ve got a quickpage freebie for you made from the surfing layout above. Click on the image above to download from mediashare and leave me some love!

Farewell My Summer Love

It was really cold here last week. I dug sweaters and warm slippers out of the dark corners of my closet. I had a cup of hot cocoa. I added an extra blanket on the bed. Summer is OVER! Buuuuttttt……you aren’t done scrapping the pictures from your summer flings yet, are you? No one is. Getting to those green and bright photos will cheer you right up come the dead of winter. So, just in time for all that, KnittinJen and MommyMeTime Scrapper have teamed up to bring you a mega kit full of all that great summer stuff. The preview only gives you a sampling of what is in the kit. Seriously, it’s huge. I love the little birds!

 

For  your freebie, (I LOVE GIVING AWAY FREEBIES!) I whipped up this little cluster frame (image linked). I hope you enjoy it! Happy Summer scrapping!

Luke’s Shop

KnittinJen is creating new mini kits inspired all the CT member’s children. I think it is a great idea! She has a few kits already in the store that were created prior to me joining the team. This kit is inspired by Luke, a little boy who loves to be rough and tumble, and play with his motorcycles and cars!

 

To go with this kit, I created a 5x7 quickpage, thinking it would also be easy to turn it into a birthday party or pinewood derby  invitation! You could have a party, use this as an invite, and then use the same QP to put pictures of all the guests with the birthday boy, and hand them out as favors. How cool would that be?
