Baby

Came across this photo of my soon to be 8 year old in a pile on my scrapbooking desk, and had to make a quick layout with it.  I can't believe how fast the time has gone.  Seems like just yesterday that I was cuddling with her in my lap. 

Red

Week 1 in the Colour or Color class was all about using red.  This is the layout that I came up with.  My husband got me some gorgeous red roses for our anniversary this past June.  I took some photos of them, and I love how they look with the damask patterned paper.  I had purchased the mini paper rose embellishments about a zillion years ago, so I was thrilled, #1, that I remembered that I had them, #2, that I could find them, and #3, that I was using up something from my overabundant stash of supplies.  Love how the layout turned out, but I think I need to work on the photography end of things.  It's definitely not as sharp a photo as it should be ;)

Studio J Layouts

I did several Studio J layouts when the service was first available, but at the time, they did not provide a jpg file so that the layouts could be shared online.  Now, with the purchase of the printed layout, you also get a jpg file to share.  They actually send you files that you can share on the internet, and files that are higher quality so that you can have them reprinted if you wish.  This month, there is a promotion running in which you can get one free jpg file without having to purchase the layout that you make.  If you want to check out Studio J, and make your own layout, you can access it at my CTMH Website . Choose Studio J in the menu on the left and scrap away :)

Every year at my daughter's elementary school, they do a daddy-daughter dance. This past winter, the theme was a Hawaiian Luau. CTMH's Moon Doggie paper pack was just perfect to record this memory. I'm pretty sure I'd never seen my husband in a Hawaiian shirt before this day;)

This is Meghan in last year's recital costume. When I first saw the Whoops a Daisy paper pack from CTMH, I knew it would be perfect for this picture. I also used CTMH rub-ons and sparkles to dress it up along with a couple of stamp sets. The big purple flower is actually one that fell off the costume after it made its way to the girls' dress up box.
