Template: JUMPSTART YOUR LAYOUT Templates - SET 39
Layout: Cousin Cookies


I have so many Christmas cookie pictures, so I was so excited to see this kit come out. It is PERFECT. And who doesn't need a little "jumpstart" to their layouts? This template pack is great.

The cousins came over and we decorated Christmas cookies. It has become a Christmas Eve tradition. So much fun.

ZigZag Lines! Dec-Jan 2011

Kits: Dec/Jan 2011 Zig Zag Lines!
Layout: delight

Ok, I used like 4 kits from this set... too many to post them all! Just go check the whole line out! Basically all the designers get make mini kits that all match each others. So you can use pieces from each kit to make layouts! Such a fun idea. A neat version of a store collab. From just paper sets, just elements sets, to templates, alphas, and full on mini kits.

I love these photos of Quinn. The tiny smirk is just too cute. I had to think of a good title for this and you know how much I struggle with anything wordy on my layouts. So I looked up a thesaurus online and came up with Delight. I just knew there were a lot of good bible verses on taking delight in things, so I did a quick search and found this one in Zephaniah. Too perfect.

Layout: warm winter

This collab is so cute. I adore the colors. I knew I had the perfect photo for the soft pastel colors of this kit. The elements are really beautiful and delicate.

Quinn was a born a little early and in the cold weather... so we didn't go out much at this point. So we stayed nice and warm in the house and just enjoyed getting to know him.

2012 Calendar Template & Desire

Template: 2012 Calendar Template by 2 am Designs
Kit: Desire + WA + Our story...book BONUS by Damayanti Studio
Layout: 2012

What perfect timing!! A 2012 Calendar! I think I am going to put this as my desktop at work. It will be so handy. I am a huge fan of large photos on layouts, so this template is perfect. And you can embellish it as much or as little as you want.
The kit is really organic. The elements are all papery/earthy. Really lovely.

This is from this year's thanksgiving. The boys were being silly and I had to take about 30 pictures before I got a few cute ones.

I need a reason to use those lizards. They are so cute. I love the Tuscan look to this kit. Rustic, but warm.

Just another set of cute photos of Quinn. Love him in overalls.

This is such a beautifully delicate kit. I think it speaks for itself... so pretty.

Just before bed time I realized I wanted a photos of the boys together. I just happened to catch this tender moment and it is still one of my most favorite photos of the boys.

Ahhh! I have no idea where to even start, other then by saying: Buy this!!! You won't regret it. Look at how jam packed FULL of awesome elements and papers! I seriously was so excited to see everything in it. It was a little overwhelming!

This is one of my favorite moments of Christmas. The anticipation right before the stocking and the presents and the family coming over. There is just a giddiness about this moment.

Brrr... I dont know about where you are, but it is cold here! So even though I hate snow, I am sorta half wishing it would snow so that I can get some snow pictures to scrap with! This kit is so pretty and so perfect for the season.

Quinn's first snow experience. Not all that excited about it. Can you tell? He was curious at first and then quickly unimpressed.

Colorful Christmas full kit by Kokon Scrap-Art

Ok, so if you have been following, you know I love girly kits... but I have a hard time using them because of being in a house full of boys. So I almost didn't use this kit. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE it. The colors are superb! I want to dive in and snuggle! But I thought it might be too girly. The more I looked at the kit, the more I realized that there is a lot of blue in it! So I took my chance and scrapped it!

Quinn's first christmas... here he is watching his brother play with some of the new toys he got for Christmas.

Yep. Another Christmas kit. You know you love it. I dont know what to say about it... because I think by default I love it for its Christmassy-ness. How is that for a word?! It is a little off the beaten path as far as Christmas kits go though, so that is really refreshing.

Helping Quinn open his presents... you can tell he has other things on his mind.

Layout: one month

ZZS designers coming together to create a huge kit, is always a magical thing!! They have their own styles, but somehow when they make a huge kit like this, it blends together so well! You dont want to miss out on this one!

Christmas day was also when Quinn turned 1 month old! Isn't he precious?

Kit: Collab with Pink reptile designs - Cozy Christmas Day - THE BUNDLE - ValC designs
Layout: christmas joy

I hope you aren't tired of Christmas layouts and kits because it is that time of the year! And I LOVE it! I think because there is so much tradition around Christmas. And this is such a great kit! I think I instantly feel in love with the word art. I love it. The faint typewriter words. Just perfect.

So if you have little ones you will know how fun and amusing it is to watch little kids decorate a tree. You will end up with clumps of ornaments in one area or at all one height.

Kit: A lot like fall by Sarah Bennett designs
Layout: thanksgiving

This is such a warm and lovely kit. I decided to use it as part of a blind scrap lift at ZZS. I had never participated in one before, so it was a lot of fun! I was a little nervous to see what the initial layout actually looked like, but was pleased to see I wasn't too far off the mark.

Thanksgiving with Auntie Krystal. Such a pleasure!

When I saw these templates, I just HAD to try them out. I have never seen any like them before so they really intrigued me. I was excited to find the kit to match my photos as well.

Another summer time photo shoot, this time with Quinn. He was playing on the porch having fun opening and closing the door. The lighting and his cute little face is just irresistible!
