Lovin' Lambie

Some more cute photos of the girlies from just after they turned one - they still love that lamb and he is so adorable. They were from the Kohl's Cares for Kids campaign at the time of the girls baby shower back in '05.

Another scraplift of course, don't know what I'd do without inspiration from other folks. I love the effect of the felt action on the title word lambie and then adding the black stroke outside.

I really want to make a little halloween kit - I have colors inspired by my girls' new witch costume and a few ideas, now just to find time to execute. This weekend is going to be a mad dash to do the newsletter. Hurricane Ike certainly put me behind schedule, but at least my power was restored after 7 days. Many of my friends here are about to enter their 2nd week with no power - ick!

Girls Just Gotta Have Fun

A big thanks to Brittney from Britt-ish Designs for the big assist in getting this LO done. This was another photo that caught my eye on my screen saver and I decided it would be the next one to scrap and then when I went looking for inspiration I found this great LO by Brittney at DST and it was perfect because it let me use 3 pictures instead of just one - and then I realized that some of her kits would fit the color scheme perfectly! I did have to alter some of the colors a bit, but the gingham ribbon and the alpha (fun) are is the only things that I completely recolored.

DH & I love these photos and these are the few that we have that we didn't take. We had a fabulous babysitter back in VA and she snapped these while she was there one day. I loved that toy too - it was the perfect baby gate between the game room and my office.

Now Where's That Mouse?

I've had these photos in my stack of photos to scrap for a long time - I started a LO yesterday and got one finished, but wasn't happy so I threw it all away today and started over. I'm happier with the second LO, but it could still use a little something. I realize that I don't have much yellow in my digistash - and much less yellow with reds, blues & greens. I loved these little jumpers on the girls and they were in a stage where they would wear a hat pretty much all day inside - it didn't last long though, by the time we were spending more time outdoors they didn't want one anymore.

I tried to stick with one kit - so some recoloring and blending to make some of the colors pop just a bit more. Like I said - it still doesn't feel "right", but I'm still trying to ramp up my scrapping mojo again. I haven't been keeping up with all the blogs & freebies like I was before, and heavens knows I haven't taken a minute to think about creating a new kit.
