No batteries required

Today my 2 year old daughter, Christina, said something that I need to share with the world. I was changing her diaper and she was entertaining herself with a toy whose batteries had died. While I was carefully wiping her bottom I said, "I'll have to see if I can find something to fix that". She frowned and asked, "what you gonna find, mummy?" I answered, "I'm gonna see if I can find some batteries that will fit". She paused with a look of concern on her face then said, "Mummy, batteries don't go in my bum". I quickly reassured her that I was not intending to put batteries in her bum. I'm not sure if she believed me, especially since I couldn't contain my laughter! Ah, my precious girl. I'm so amazed.

Princess

Who could resist this tender moment? The layout and photo blending techniques came from Jessica Sprague. The papers came from Jessica's echoes of asia kit. The flourishes beside the crown are Jessicas as well. The floral brushes are from design fruit. The scalloped edge brush is from an atomic cupcake template. The crown came from wpclipart.

No Smoking

The layout concept was inspired from a tutorial by Jessica Sprague. The clipart all came from wpclipart. I created the background key paper and the license plate paper with wpclipart images made into patterns.

Christina

I wanted to create a page that captured some of the essence of my little girl. And while this page surely did, it had all since changed so much. Thank goodness for scrapbooking so I can create a new montage to capture her once again. I used a brush from design fruits worn high resolution kit to create the picture frames. I created the wood chip letters and butterfly with an action from atomic cupcake. The floral border brush came from design fruits fresh foliage kit.

Gunstock Mountain

I did this scrap page as a thank you for my husbands cousins with whom we spent a week of our vacation. I created the Gunstock tag by first borrowing the logo from their website then applying various textures and styles to it. The photo frame, paper, and embellishments came from the Shabby Princess Festival Kit. The brushes came from design fruit. The quote came from quote garden.

Cousins

Here's a page I created after our vacation with some in-laws I had not met before. I got the template from val-sketch. The paper and embellishments all came from Shabby Princess - Moody Blues collection. The quote I found at quote garden.

The Object Of My Affections

These are the cards I made for my mom and dad this year. The templates for each layout came from val-sketch. The paper and embellishments on the Mothers Day card came from atomic cupcake. The Mom font is "The King and Queen" font from DaFont.com. The papers for the Fathers Day card came from Jennifer Adams Donnelly at Designer Digitals. The embellishments came from Jessica Sprague. The brush on the ribbon came from designfruit.com. The layout templates made the cards a much quicker scrap. But I still came away from it feeling I had created something beautiful.

Love Is

Here's another couple wedding photos by Lenore Farell. All of the paper, embellishments and quote art came from Jessica Sprague. The blending of the photo with the background is a technique from Jessica Spragues tutorials that I have used again and again.
