I used one of the wordarts to make a layout with a photo of James reading bedtime stories to Jessica and Janette. I also used a recently released by Queen Wild Scraps, called Jaunty January. I also made this layout using the recipe challenge for January at Scraps N Pieces.These Moments Count

It is Grab-a-byte time over at Scrapbookbytes.com. Word Art World has four pieces you can pick up for $1 each. I used two of them.

Here are the other two pieces that I didn’t use.

This layout is of me and my good friend, Jillan. We’ve been friends since ninth grade. Journaling reads: Jennifer and Jillan at Jillan’s Blessing Way to celebrate the upcoming birth of her second daughter, Iris. A blessing way is a time to shower the birthing mother and baby with love and deep connection to other women and the earth.

One Cool Dude

It’s Gotta Grab It time over at Gotta Pixel. Word Art World has a super cute kit out today as part of GGI that is perfect for scrapping about boys. There are four pieces you can pick up for $1 each until January 15th.

I have two layouts to share using One Cool Dude. First up is a layout of my oldest nephew, Dawson. Journaling reads: Dawson received a bicycle for his fifth birthday. He enjoyed taking it for a spin on the large concrete driveway at his Great Granny and Great Pawpaw’s house.

December Gotta Grab It

Posted on by

It is gotta grab it time at Gotta Pixel!

Word Art World has 5 pieces you can pick up for $1 each through tomorrow.

The numbered journal tags look super cute, but I didn’t work with these. I can totally see doing a few layouts using these and daily photos of your elf on a shelf.

I recently joined Word Art World’s creative team and today, I’m sharing my first two projects. Neither of them are layouts. First up, is a 6-inch by 7.5-inch photo greeting card. This one is for my in-laws. If you like the idea of a customized photo card, keep me in mind.

Secondly, I made gift tags. My MOPS group, for which my role is creative director, is going to attach them to gift bags for the nursery workers. The gift bags will be filled by our moms at our meeting this Thursday to thank them for caring for our children.

I’m working on some other gifts, so you might see those after the holidays if I remember to post about them.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Posted on by

Today is my Mom’s birthday. Happy Birthday Mom!

Back in June, I suggested to my sister and brother (well, more my sister-in-law) that we get all the kiddos together and have portraits taken as a gift for Mom’s birthday. They were receptive to the idea, so I found fabric and patterns for the girls dresses and Julia and I made dresses for the girls while my sister found coordinating blue polo shirts for the boys. We went barefoot for a fun summer feel. We used the Jackie O Dress for Jessica and Aspen, but instead of buttons down the back, we put a zipper in the bodice and didn’t cut the back skirt piece. We also didn’t do the lining. For Janette, I used the Abbey Dress, but I didn’t use piping and added ribbon like in the Jackie O Dress. I discovered the zipper foot and now I think zippers are fantastic.

Sarah came into town an extra day early for Aspen’s 3rd birthday party and Sarah, Julia and I met up Friday morning at the mall at the JC Penney Portrait Studio. Do portrait studios have a set number of photos they’re allowed to take per session? The photographer seemed to be waiting for the perfect shot at times. Five kids under five? The perfect shot is never going to happen. We did individual photos of each kid before getting all five together. She only took two photos of each individual kid. One of the two of Janette was blurry, like she overzoomed. Overall, I was not the most impressed with the photographer. She did take twelve photos of all the cousins together. Then three of Cameron and Trevor together. Two more of Aspen by herself. And none of Jessica and Janette together, because Jessica didn’t want to cooperate. For a grand total of 28 pictures in the 1 hour we were there. That doesn’t seem like a lot to me. I mean, she was with Cameron and Trevor for like 10 minutes and she only took 3 photos? Oh well.

We decided to choose the best group cousin photo (the photo in the first layout) for an 11×14 framed photo and a 6×12 easel framed photo that my Mom can put in her office with the rest of the grandkid photos. Then I took all the photos (we paid for the photo CD) and made the following layouts, which we put in an album for her. I spoke with her earlier today and she was really pleased with the present. That made me happy.

Journaling reads: “August 3, 2012 When everyone was in town for Aspen’s birthday party, we took all the cousins for some family portraits. It was difficult to get five children four years old and younger to look at the camera and smile at the same time. The portraits still turned out super cute.”

Journaling reads: “Jessica is 2.5 years old. Janette is 9 months old. Jessica is independent. Janette is laid-back. Jessica is a picky eater. Janette eats everything. Jessica is a good sleeper. Janette, not so much. Whatever their differences, they’ll always be sisters.”
