Hello Birthday

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Jennifer

Amy’s Designs has a new kit out called Hello Birthday. It is a birthday themed kit and the colors were inspired by Hello Kitty. It is the free with purchase kit for the second half of April at Scraps N Pieces, but you can also just purchase it outright.

The coordinating alphas are awesome. The blue, pink and green alphas are full alphas with upper, lower and punctuation. The orange, yellow, purple and red flair style alpha are just lower case.

I have two things to share using this kit.

First, I made an invitation for my nephew’s birthday party. It is sized 4×6, so my sister could simply print it out as a photo.

Second, I made a layout with the best photos from the birthday party Jessica and I attended for her school friend Mia. Journaling from Jessica’s point of view reads: April 7, 2013 Mia, one of my classmates at Abiding Love, invited me to her birthday party. It was held in her backyard and our classmates Madeline and Harper were there also. The party started at 2:30, but Mommy and I didn’t get there until almost 3 and Mommy had a hard time getting me to leave, I was having so much fun. Mia had a trampoline and a fun swing set to enjoy. We also went inside near the end of the party and I really enjoyed Mia’s dollhouse.

Five Layouts

Posted on April 9, 2013 by Jennifer

I realized I have a back log of layouts I haven’t shared here on my blog yet, so here are a number of them in no particular order.

This layout features Janette on her first day wearing her orthotic helmet.

I’m really happy with how this next layout, a speed scrap layout, turned out. I made it shortly after finding out my Dad had been diagnosed with cancer and I wanted to document how I am really my father’s daughter. It garnered me a layout of the day award at Scrapbookbytes.

Journaling reads: My Dad and I both enjoy taking photos and planning trips. I definitely know that my desire to type up an itinerary and label my photos comes from him. We also both like to read historical markers and look at maps. Out of all of my siblings, I am the only one who takes just as many photos of the architecture as my Dad. He’s always there when I need his advice. I can’t imagine life without him.

This layout was made during my photoshop techniques class. The technique was align and distribute, which I used on the title and subtitle.

This was another speed scrap layout. It’s interesting how for the most part my most recent vacation destinations are my favorite.

This is about our neighborhood’s Christmas party. Journaling reads: Before leaving the holiday party, we paused on the community center lawn so the girls could run and twirl in the falling “snow” from the snow machine.

I hope you enjoyed these layouts. I’ll be back with more later this week showcasing some new kits.

When We Sow

Posted on March 31, 2013 by Jennifer

Amy’s Designs has a new release out now, called When We Sow. It is perfect for your spring or gardening photos.

I have two layouts to share today using this kit. They’re coordinating layouts and will be on facing pages in my scrapbook album. The journaling reads: After breakfast, we headed outside to work on the front flower beds. James started cleaning up mulching the beds, while I planted the hydrangeas and other plants we had picked up at Lowe’s the night before. The girls enjoyed helping and playing.

Snow is Glistenin’

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Jennifer

Amy’s Designs has a new release today. Obviously, she loves snow as her last release was snow themed as well. I love the colors in this one and can see it being used for a totally non-snowy layout as well.

I have two layouts to share using this kit. They will be side by side in my scrapbook album. The photos are from Thanksgiving 2007. I totally enjoyed this snowfall as I went out while it was softly falling and took a ton of pictures. I narrowed it down to the 15 photos on the 2 pages.

Journaling reads: “Thanksgiving in Midland this year was pretty special. It snowed. After the big Thanksgiving meal midday, I headed outside to photograph the falling snow. Later, we went outside and took some couple photographs: Mom & Dad, Jason & Julia with Bella, and James & me.”
