Spring

I am so ready for spring. I know I don't have it as bad as most of the country, but I am tired of being cold just the same. Spring on the west coast of Florida is a beautiful time. We get this really great gulf breeze, warm sunshine, and a bright blue sky. With the temp. about 80 degrees, it makes for some wonderful outdoor activities. I am can't wait, I am over the damp, foggy, cold weather.
Speaking of Spring, I have been working on a new kit the last couple of days. It is called Spring Fling, and is full of bright cheery colors. I made a layout of my cousin and her daughter with part of the kit. I wanted to get more elements on the layout, but my style is more simplistic, and just couldn’t seem to add more stuff to it. Hope she likes it. It is funny, I know the kit is rather girly (and I don’t even have any girls) but I love the happy colors. The next kit I am working on is more neutral in the browns, greens, and a splash or orange. Another great spring kit. As soon as I have them finished and available I will update here to let you know.

Time Flies

Were has the time gone? I can’t believe it is already February. I just sent off a bunch of Christmas photos to be printed. I know it sounds late, but I scraped them. I made 4” x 6” ploppers with a couple of holiday kits I had made. The greatest thing about that is Christmas photos have a lot of miscellaneous stuff in them besides smiling faces and great gifts. This way I can edit out the extra stuff and highlight the best part of the photos. Also being in 4x6 format, they are so easy to just upload to your local photo shop, so in about an hour and about 20 cents, you have great looking memories. The grandparents will just love them!! I have included a couple of samples here…

Superbowl Sunday

Football!! Yeah! Today is the Superbowl, and I actually have a team playing. Being from Tampa Bay, I am routing for Tony Dungy and the Indianapolis Colts. It would be such sweet justice to have Tony win the big game!! It also means lots of good food, so here goes the diet today.

I did a layout for Josh last night, and I just love the kit. It fits him so perfectly. I have another photo of him I want to scrap and possibly frame. The kit is the Hard Out Page Kit by Lauren Bavin. (I just love her work.) Josh is 18 and likes to think of himself as a punk, but in reality it couldn’t be farther from the truth. In this picture he was actually helping teach his 4 year old brother how to play baseball. I am not that trilled about the expression on his face, but the picture is just so him. With his hat a little off center, and the fuzzy face. He is my joker, my rescuer, my helper. He is growing up into such a nice young man, I am very proud of him.

Here I Go...

Well, the first thing I have learned about blogging, don’t try to start something like this during the holidays!! Not only is life too fast, but things are way to crazy to even think about something like this. Now that life is starting to settle back into our normal crazy routine, I really want to start to concentrate on designing. I love to create new things, and have just fell in love with digital scrapbooking in the last year. I am going to put up a couple of the kits I made last year as freebies. I will include a download link so if anyone is interested, they can go get them. If you use them, I would love to see what you created, please send me an email.

The first is Key to my Heart Page Kit for Valentines Day, and my New Years Page Kit with Word Art Add On. Just go here to get the downloads.
