The Wonder of Christmas

Posted on by

Today is release day for a new scrapping digi-kit by Amy’s Designs. It is called The Wonder of Christmas and it is 50% off this weekend. The colors are softer versions of the traditional Christmas colors and there are some really cute elements along with some awesome embossed papers.

I only have one layout to share. Hopefully, I can finish up the layout about decorating our Christmas tree and share that soon.

Journaling reads: In what I hope becomes a yearly tradition, James took Jessica to the church to decorate a gingerbread house. James ended up doing most of the construction, but Jessica did help decorate. When they brought their house home, I asked Jessica if she had fun and she replied “um hmm.”

Fresh New Beginning

Today is release day for a new scrapping digi-kit by Amy’s Designs. It is called Fresh New Beginning and it is 50% off until Monday. This is a fabulous kit, especially since Amy used creative team input to design it and two of her CT had babies in the last month so Ann and I had new baby thoughts fresh in our minds.

The four layouts I made to showcase the kit actually don’t have a single baby in any of the photos. Shocking, huh! However, I came across a fabulous sketch, the Scrapbookbytes Nov sketch, that I thought would be perfect for pregnancy profile photos and that kinda jumpstarted the rest of the pregnancy documentation layouts. I do plan to scrap some baby photos using this kit, so I’m sure you’ll see more layouts posted here soon.

Journaling on the second page of the double page layout reads: “During my pregnancy with Janette, I wanted to take biweekly profile pictures like I did while pregnant with Jessica. I started at 16 weeks, when it began to be obvious that I was expecting, but I forgot during weeks 22, 32, and 36.”

After making the above double page layout, I had one pregnancy profile photo left over, which I scrapped by taking inspiration from the Scraps N Pieces Nov. Scraplift/Smash It Up Challenge. Journaling reads: “Taken the day before Janette was born, I hadn’t anticipated this being the last profile picture.”

Finally, I decided that I should scrap Janette’s birth story, which I blogged about last week.

Today is release day for a new scrapping digi-kit by Amy’s Designs. It is called Turkey Day. Don’t you just love the little pilgrims and Indians?

I have two layouts to share using this kit. I decided to use pictures from last year’s Thanksgiving celebration at our friends Aric and Kristy’s house. The first layout I finished showcases Aric’s turkey frying. I really like how my blocked layout turned out.

The second layout will actually be the first layout when I get the layouts printed and put in a scrapbook album. I had started a second page to coordinate, but JAM4 decided to arrive early and I didn’t finish it.

Amy’s Kitchen

Today is release day for a new scrapping digi-kit by Amy’s Designs. It is called Amy’s Kitchen. Doesn’t it look fun?

Preview of Amy's Kitchen

First up, I made a layout of a recent baking session with Jessica. It uses the Scrapbookbytes.com October Sketch 1. Journaling reads: “August 11, 2011 Jessica enjoyed helping bake cookies, Mint Chocolate Delights, a recipe on the bag of dark chocolate and mint baking morsels. It is definitely messier baking with a toddler, but the experience is so worth it.”

This next project is a 4×6 recipe card. It is a recipe from my Nanny’s recipe box and a great way to use up leftover egg yolks.

Autumn Dream

Posted on by

Today is the release day for the new kit by Amy’s Designs. It is called Autumn Dream and can be purchased at Scraps-N-Pieces. It’s on sale right now as part of the grand opening festivities of store.

The pictures I decided to use to showcase this digikit are from my 2008 trip to Vermont. I blogged about that trip here.

The first layout uses pictures of the bed and breakfast where we stayed.

I was so pleased with how the first layout turned out, I made a second one using a similar blocking style. Journaling reads: “Friday morning, the weather was a little drizzly. Mom, Sarah and baby Cameron stayed inside, while the rest of us hiked the trail around the inn near the river. Then all of us drove to eat lunch at Maxwell’s Flat Road Grill where we had some tasty buffalo burgers. Afterward, we browsed some shops in Manchester.”

This next layout has some fabulous fall photos. It is a scraplift of this layout. Journaling reads: “Our vehicle arrived at The Cheese House first, so I organized a little photo shoot by the creek behind the store while we waited for the rest of the family to arrive. Arlington, Vermont”

And the last layout I’m sharing today is of Chiselville, the covered bridge near the inn. Journaling reads: “Built in 1870, Chiselville is a 117-foot long covered bridge spanning Roaring Branch on Sunderland Hill Road.”

The rest of the creative team came up with some fabulous layouts as well. They really showcase the versatility of the kit. Lisa scrapped two Easter layouts here and here. Stacy scrapped some Halloween photos here and here. Ann did a layout of her daughter. Kristal also scrapped her daughter. Amy did a wedding layout. Our fearless designer Amy did a layout with her daughter and one about herself.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day.
