In Loving Memory

Posted on May 11, 2013 by Jennifer

We’ve all been there.  Unfortunately we have all lost somebody we care about deeply.  In fact Dawna just recently lost a dear girlfriend who bravely fought cancer for 3 years.   That is what made her realize there is a real need for kits like 

In Loving Memory

This kit is very tasteful and is appropriate for people of most faiths.   There are 34 elements including a blank headstone for personalization.  The 16  papers are understated and will allow for a variety of layouts.  Also included is a full alpha of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers that look like polished marble.

Although I hope you won’t need this kit for a long time to come, it’s nice to know its here waiting for you when you do.  You can find it at Scraps N Pieces and Heritage Scrap.   The kit is on sale for 30% off until May 18th.

Look at the beautiful layout I made using In Loving Memory:

The text on the right is my Grandma’s obituary, which my Dad and I actually collaborated to write. The journaling in the circle reads: “When my parents moved Grandma from her home in El Paso to a nursing home in Midland, I was quite happy, because it meant I would get to see her more often. However, Alzheimer’s is a really horrible disease and the last few times I saw her, it was really hard and I cried when we left Manor Park. When she passed away, I knew she was in a better place. I was sad that I had to miss her funeral as Janette’s due date was 2.5 weeks from the funeral and travelling was out of the question. As it was, Janette came early and my parents actually flew from Austin for the graveside service.”

Some of the North Stars made freebies to coordinate with this kit.  If you visit their blogs you can pick them up: Lynn and Robin.

Lookin for Adventure

Posted on April 21, 2013 by Jennifer

It’s that time of year when motorcycles start appearing regularly on the streets and highways.  Dawna is an avid biker and can’t wait for enough snow to melt for them to take the dust cover off their motorcycle and hit the road!  Well… not literally.  They intend to keep the ‘rubber side down’ and enjoy their rides.  Remember to look twice — you could save a life!  Motorcycles are hard to see and we hate to hear about any crashes involving motorcycles because you know it’s not usually going to end well for the biker(s).

Dawna knows that she can’t possibly be the only scrapper who enjoys riding, so she made this kit for people like her:

 

Lookin For Adventure

This kit has 35 elements and 20 papers, all ready for your photographs of your exciting adventures, whether they are on a motorcycle, a scooter, and even (as you will see from the LOs made by the North Stars) child-sized vehicle adventures too!

Also included is a very bright alpha of upper and lower case letters, numbers and many symbols – including the very hard to find tilde (~), £, and € symbols!

Here’s a look at the amazing and creative LOs made by the North Stars:

I have two layouts that I made. The first one is about our love affair with Freebirds.

Journaling reads: James has always been a big fan of Freebirds. I didn’t used to be a big fan, but something in my taste buds changed when I was pregnant with Janette and now it is one of my favorite places to eat too. Since little monsters (kids) eat free Sunday evening and all day Monday and Tuesday, it is the perfect family dining spot. Jessica will always eat a quesadilla and Janette loves the rice as well as the quesadilla.

This second layout is of Jessica shortly after her first birthday riding in her birthday present from us. This car is pretty popular, because she still loves it, although she can maneuver it herself via foot power.

This kit is selling at SNP and HS for only $5.00, but it will be on sale for 30% off for the week of April 20 – 28.   It will be available at the True North Scraps store at My Memories at a later date.

The North Stars enjoyed working with this kit and some of them went the extra mile and made some wonderful freebies for you!  Check out these North Stars’ blogs and grab ’em!

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.

Digikits: Queen Wild Scraps – all but 1 paper from Sweet Baby Girl, 1 paper and all ellies but 1 flower from Forty Weeks and 1 flower from Little Princess
Template: Amy’s Designs – SNP Template Challenge February 16-28, 2013
Fonts: Minnie, Kiss Me Quick and Life BT

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 was another speed scrap layout. It’s interesting how for the most part my most recent vacation destinations are my favorite.2013-04-09_LO_Top-5-Favorite-Vacation-Destinations

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.2013-04-09-Shady-Hollow-HOA-Holiday-Party-Snow

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

Land of Lincoln

Posted on April 1, 2013 by Jennifer
Have I got some exciting stuff to tell you?
Memories by Digital Design not only has new stuff in her store, but she’s also the Featured Designer the first half of April. She has lots of stuff planned, so keeping reading…
Want to earn $5 in her store? Read below and then head over to the SNP forum.

Also, join her on Thursday, April 4th at noon (12pm CST) for a speed scrap. She just might be giving away some stuff. Don’t want to miss out on that.

Guess what else? She has some new stuff in the store. She’s decided to tackle a 2nd kit, and it’s called Land of Lincoln. The pieces are part of the first week of the month Bits N’ Pieces special in the Scraps N’ Pieces store.

Each piece is just $1 the first week of April. After that, she’ll be bundling them all up and putting them together in one big kit at regular price. Need some inspiration?

I was lucky enough to be a guest CT member for this release. Here’s a closer look at the two layouts I made. They’re both from our 2005 trip to Chicago.

Lots of great stuff is going into the store this month. Check out the April SNP store collab, “When We’re Helping”. It’s on sale for $7.99, while the quick pages are $5.99 or just grab the bundle for $10.99.

They have a great CU pack available too that’s as cute as a button.

The second layout showcases all the fun water balloon pictures. Some of the photos are from my sister. Journaling reads: “After dinner, Nanny brought out the water balloons. The grandkids enjoyed their first water balloon toss, but their catching skills need a little work. Uncle Jason filled up a lot of balloons between the four kids.”
