A Warm Safe Place

Posted on by

Here is the newest kit by Queen Wild Scraps. Don’t you just love it? When you think of your warm safe place, family is probably the first thing that pops into your head. This kit is perfect for your family photos. It even has a bit of an elegant look to it, so fancy photos would look great snuggled into the elements as well.

This kit was inspired by Wild Princess Kandi. Lahni had chosen the colours and created a few papers but wasn’t really sure where she was going with the kit so she showed it to the team. Kandi said that the papers reminded her of a couch she had when she was little. Her family moved out of the city in the fall but couldn’t move the house until spring so they stayed in a small shack with no running water or electricity. She would cuddle up on that couch and watch her mother fill up the pot-belly stove with wood. It was her warm safe place. After reading that Lahni knew exactly where she wanted to go with the kit. She went with a vintage-y, worn feeling for the papers and elements and decided to call the kit A Warm Safe Place in honour of Kandi’s memory.

You can pick up this great new kit for 30% off today through Sunday.

 

The Wild Princesses have made some beautiful layouts to share with you.

A Bunch of Layouts

Posted on by

I have quite a few layouts to share today.

First up is a coordinating second layout to the Sweet Berry Farm layout I shared on Friday. Journaling reads: “I tried to coordinate a pumpkin patch visit with Jessica’s playgroup friends: Millie, William and Alex. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a day for all of us to go together. Instead, Jessica and I picked Michelle and Millie up and I drove us to Marble Falls to visit Sweet Berry Farm’s pumpkin patch. Millie and Jessica had a blast running around the pumpkins.”

The next two layouts are for my All About Me album. In Color My Life with the Colors of Music, I journaled about about my evolving music tastes. I made the layout back back in May for a challenge or two.

This layout was made during a speed scrap in September and talks about different emotions the photo from our trip to Moorea evokes now.

This fourth layout is a heritage layout made during a speed scrap back in May. It is of James’ grandparents when they were newlyweds. They’ve been married for 72 years now.

This last layout was a another speed scrap layout. I may put it in my All About Me album too. Journaling reads: “8/7/12 Cloth diapering really makes me feel good. Not only is it good for the environment, it is good for Jessica and Janette since they don’t have the chemical laden disposables touching their skin.”

I received my new card reader, so you should see a post about Janette turning 1 soon.

Plethora of Pumpkins

Posted on by

Today is the release day for a brand new kit by Amy’s Designs called Plethora of Pumpkins. It is super cute and perfect for pumpkin patch photos or other fall harvest photos.

I had thought about using photos from this year’s trip to the pumpkin patch, but alas I currently have no way to get the photos off my camera, so I decided to use photos from last year’s trip. Now, that we’ve gone three years in a row, I will call it a tradition and I’m sure you’ll see more pumpkin photos from me in the future.

Hopefully, I will be able to finish my “Janette is 1” post next week once my new card reader arrives and I can acquire photos from camera’s memory card.
