Heavenly Scraps - Hippity Hop

I had a very busy scrapping weekend and accomplished a lot. Since I'm working on some older photos I got to work with an great Easter kit. Hippity Hop was great for the 2 page Easter layout I completed but the colors and elements also made it great for a fun little layout that was not related to Easter at all. You can purchase Heavenly Scraps Hippity Hop HERE at DigiScrap Station.

The first set of layouts with was a 2 page Easter layout. The left side shows us having a simple Easter morning at home
and the right side shows us off in our Easter finery. The template is from Yin Design. The font is Script MT Bold.

The second layout is Mission Trip 2005. These are some highlights from Jacob's 2nd short term mission trip to the Dominican Republic. Who knew where those short term trips would lead.

My first kit for Sweet and Spicy is RNR Creation's Teddy N Me. It is a great kit that would be perfect for any layout featuring a little girl's tea party but I found the kit to be very verisatile and created a double page layout of my daughter enjoying the rain and one of my son's giant cookie.

Sue Wood - All Princess

Well I used another kit by Sue Wood today. This one is All Princess and was just perfect for a layout I did for Hannah's Birthday in 2005. Hannah was looking over my shoulder and she like the kit so much she helped me create a layout of her new outfit using the same kit.

The 2 page birthday layout uses a Yin Template and the font Ravie. I just love the way Hannah's eyes shine in these pictures.

The page with Hannah's outfit features Hannah's favorite elements from the kit. The double frame was perfect to show case the pictures. Since the 2nd picture wasn't big enough to fill up the page we used one of the papers as a back drop.

You can pick up All Princess HERE.

Trying Again

Well its been a while since I've tried out but I've put in a new entry for the Go Digital Supreme Team. There are 225 entries in Round One so no telling if I'll make the cut with that much competition. Their rules are really tight with no templates, actions, or anything that is not standard in your program. I figure I have a cute layout I will use and got a great kit to work with. This was another lighter colored kit but I found it fairly easy to work with.

The layout features my daughter and my nephew. This page will be for her album and tells her story about how she loves having a cousins to play with. The font is Century Schoolhouse.

The kit is from Dani Alencar. It is Your Day and you can purchase the kit HERE.

UPDATE: I didn't make the cut but it was fun trying and I love the layout I created.
