<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Time to show off with my challenges layouts!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first challenge was to scrap a layout about a special person in my life and of course say why he or she is important. There are four or five important and special people in my life, but this time I chose to do a page with and about my husband. Of course there had to be a picture and some journaling, but the idea was to use the things we learnt during the workshops, so I ended up with my first double page layout. I used the <a href="http://scrapable.co/store/Summer-Getaway-2012.html">Summer Getaway</a> kit from <a href="http://www.scrapable.co/">Scrapable </a>to create the layout and I am happy with the results. I find it challenging to create pages where my husband is alone in the picture or pictures. I don't want to make it girly looking or too crowded, but I found all the elements I needed in this kit and this is the result:</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The journaling says:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We met in 2003 and although it was not love at first sight, we fell in love in a very short period of time and after I got to know you I knew I wanted you to be the father of my children and the man I want to grow old with. We’ve been through ups and downs and stood against people who did not want to see us together. We did a lot of things to be where we are today. I moved to the other side of the world just to be with you and I do not regret it for a second.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are not in the same place all the time and every time you leave home you take a piece of me with you. We are both working for our children and our future and it is unfair to be far from each other for so long, but we both know that in the end we have each other and three wonderful children and a place we call our home. I love you like I never thought I could love anyone and I promise you I will do anything in my power not to hurt you or make you sad. You are my best friend,my lover and my husband and I want to spend forever with you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Already past mid-September and I started working and Alex started grade 1. I am so busy I didn't even have the time to post some of the posts I wrote back in August.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are the last workshops from the set, so the next post is going to be with layouts I did for the challenges. I didn't win any of the prizes and I wasn't even a runner-up, but I am happy I took part in this contest and did some more layouts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The funny things about these last two layouts is that I knew that one of the workshops was going to be a journaling layout, so I started working on a layout for the last poem I wrote for my husband. When I was just about finished with it I saw that the workshop was about title layering and not journaling and I finished the page by playing with the title. Also while commenting on the other designers layouts I saw one that was perfect for a double page layout - I told the designer and she did end up doing it as a double page layout and got a lot of positive comments on it. Now by the time I got to workshop 9 and saw it's not journaling, I knew workshop 10 would be it. I decided to make the second page of a double page layout for the last workshop and what better occasion to go with this poem, than my wedding day and a little story for Alex who although was there she was too young to remember.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Workshop 7 - color extraction - kit used <a href="http://angels-scrap-shop.com/product.php?productid=1101&cat=0&page=2">Fiesta </a>by <a href="http://mediterrankadesigns.blogspot.com/">Mediterranka Design</a>. I actually won this kit in the happy section from the Digi Shop Talk forum... you should check it if you like to win free kits and templates. I decided to do something different with this template and did it on a diagonal. I think it has a lot of dynamic.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love her smile and her dimple... well I love everything about her:) after all she is mine!!!... I took this picture at the graduation ceremony from the basic school she went too. When Alex started school in Jamaica we enrolled her in the second term in second grade in a basic school close to where we live. However after a few months when I learnt that I was getting the full time job, we decided to move her to a school closer to my work place. It is not only a better school, but knowing her close to me at all times gives me peace of mind. She learns computers, Spanish and French and she did really good in all her subjects, so I say "Hat off baby girl! I am really proud of you!"</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Workshop 5 - blending - kit used Memory Lane by <a href="http://www.jen-c-designs.com/">Jen C Designs</a>. Jen C is one of my favorite designers and I have over twenty of her kits; some I bought and some I won on her <a href="http://www.jen-c-designs.com/">blog </a>or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jencdesigns">Facebook </a>page or over at <a href="http://www.digishoptalk.com/">Digi Shop Talk</a>. While I like the final result, I am not all that happy with the way the title came out,but that is something easy to fix. One thing I love though is when I can use elements from the kit as accessories and make it look like part of the picture - hint: see the flower in Alex's hair :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I took this pictures with Alex this year at the end of April when we went with some friends to church. We don't go to church every Sunday, but now and then and if there's a special occasion. This time our friends got their little baby girl blessed and we were honored to be invited and be part of their special day. Of course I took my camera and took quite a few shots both with Alex and the baby. Over all it was a really nice day and no, Alex was not crying or being sad when I took the picture.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Workshop 6 - extraction - kit used By the sea by <a href="http://www.justsoscrappy.blogspot.com/">Just So Scrappy</a>. Another one of my favorite designers and I probably have just about twenty something kits from her too... I managed to get a buy my store deal once and then hunted some coupons on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Just-So-Scrappy/226879840768774">Facebook</a> as well as bought some of her kits. What I love about her kits is that they are huge! When you buy a kit from <a href="http://www.justsoscrappy.blogspot.com/">JSS</a> you usually get over forty papers and over 100 elements and they are always very reasonably priced.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The picture was taken at the same baby blessing event and I love her expression. You might have noticed by now that I don't like very crowded layouts and I use as few elements as necessary to enhance the photos. Both layouts for workshop 5 and workshop 6 use both techniques: blending and extraction and although I don't use any of them too much, I think I did a pretty god job with these layouts. What do you think?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Although I wanted to post two or three layouts in a post, the previous post was kinda long - I for one don't like it when I have to scroll down the page for five minutes and read the same post. Thus I decided that since some of my layouts will have a little story attached to them, not to post more than two. I hope you still go through my posts and check the layouts. Whenever possible, I will give links to the designers of the kits and the kit itself, but some of the kits I used are not available at the store I bought them from. However if you really like a kit, you can always contact the designer and ask where you could buy it from - most of them are really nice and helpful.:)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love square photos and I think the stack papers used as a mat work really good in most cases. I also love to use fonts where I can use some of the papers from the kit. This photo was actually taken one morning on the way to school. Alex always know how to make the funniest faces and I think this one in particular works great with the title... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you visit my blog and read through my most recent posts you will see that they are not in chronological order, but rather a mix between what is happening now with me and my life and what happened since last August. I promised to show you some layouts in this post, so I am not going to make you sleepy with too much writing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Without too much introduction I am presenting to you my most recent layouts - well half of them - which I did for the Digi Summer Getaway 2012 at <a href="http://www.scrapable.co/">Scrapable</a>. This was a contest I took part in two years ago so i was happy to do it again and I also needed the scrapping challenge in my life. There were ten workshops and then four challenges where we had to combined the things we learnt in the workshops plus to follow the rules.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Looking through my posts and making a little summary of 2011 for me... it might not see like a lot happened, but keeping in mind I've just moved to a new place, I think I did pretty good... anyways... here it goes:</span></div>

I've been planning posting some things on the blog even before I started my vacation and now it's the last week I am home and I have a lot of things to do before I go back to work and Alex goes back to school... so get ready for a shower of posts:)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like I said my vacation is over, but I don't really have anything exciting to share about it. We stayed home most of the time and did some of the famous spring cleaning - well I know August it's not spring, but I live in Jamaica where is summer all the time... I did put a couple of posts my other blog <a href="http://www.mariancesothercorner.blogspot.com/">Mariance's other corner</a> , but that happened because I had fewer things to put on there so I did it all in two evenings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So now back to this blog. This was my first blog and I'd love to have more time to post here, but unfortunately when I am at work I don't have the time for it. So after this shower of posts, you might not hear too much from me again for a while.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I hope you will have the patience and interest to go through my blog and look at some of the layouts I created and some of the pictures I took.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you!</div>

Ever since I started working full-time and getting home around 7 in the evening, I've hardly had time to write on my blog, let alone do some quick pages or take parts in any contests. Of course I wish I had more time for the things I like, but I guess I am not the only one who wishes this.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Right now, all I wish for is a lot of health and strength for my family and friends and for everybody else, even people I don't know... I wish them all a better year than 2011 and may all their wishes come true this year... I have some wishes for the new year too and hopes, but they will remain mine for now and if they come true I might consider sharing them with you.:)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Most of the year it's just me and my baby at home - well she is almost six years old, but she will always be my baby. Now I am lucky enough to have my mom visiting as well as my husband home with us. Of course, my whole schedule is upside down with the two of them at home cooking and cleaning and taking care of the house and the dogs and all, and I know this is going to be one more reason for me to miss them when they go. But I know me and my baby will be okie and busy too... I think there will be another post on the blog soon with some updates about what happened in 2011, but until than stay safe and come visit me again.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

They have the shcedule posted for the month and one or two days before the speed scrap is scheduled, they post the participation prize so you can decide if you want to do the speed scrap or not. From my point of view if you like the prize it's more than worth doing the challenge because you win twice: you have a new layout and a new product. For this speed scrap i used elements and papers from <a href="http://stufftoscrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_146&products_id=4968">UP </a>by <a href="http://stufftoscrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=15_146">JMC Designs</a> and a ribbon from Tropical Colors by <a href="http://stufftoscrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=64&sort=20a&filter_id=&alpha_filter_id=0">Adriana's Cafe.</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9d-XoHead1BmHlC5TM3g0rGzBNG-6nqBvMdx3Zk3aGhMQJAmYShKl9VOWbK2lD2Kug2T87urJc_6SEjwC4-UJEx0iqO3_a0z4EndRpzvTGZpR0lXCFO6SdrUJP9jU2hyphenhyphenqt6tZ4X0GhqQq/s1600/SS274.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9d-XoHead1BmHlC5TM3g0rGzBNG-6nqBvMdx3Zk3aGhMQJAmYShKl9VOWbK2lD2Kug2T87urJc_6SEjwC4-UJEx0iqO3_a0z4EndRpzvTGZpR0lXCFO6SdrUJP9jU2hyphenhyphenqt6tZ4X0GhqQq/s320/SS274.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

The biggest challenge for me was making as many layouts as possible with the same kit. So I will ask the designer of the kit if I could offer these layouts as personal use Quick Pages. Once again I used <a href="http://sunshinestudioscraps.com/shop/product.php?productid=567&cat=0&page=1">All about Funk</a> by <a href="http://sunshinestudioscraps.com/shop/view_all.php?manufacturerid=3">Web Designz by Kristi</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiFDVo19l_Kpp2GpY51xLXfAm18vpvtEte0sfFEdWbkq3gACBPvX7UMxAqukTJS1VA8rfpuAplSh1Sv2lIgLO3ztTc2d1cfl-a8zpiyMg45P9rjA9X5oHbtVnNl79ysUZe8R0Zh_3Bdoki/s1600/i-love.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiFDVo19l_Kpp2GpY51xLXfAm18vpvtEte0sfFEdWbkq3gACBPvX7UMxAqukTJS1VA8rfpuAplSh1Sv2lIgLO3ztTc2d1cfl-a8zpiyMg45P9rjA9X5oHbtVnNl79ysUZe8R0Zh_3Bdoki/s320/i-love.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since this challenge was about journaling, I decided to write about the thinks that make me happy and don't put any pictures.

For this challenge we had to use an alpha for our title and I loved how the circles in the font matched the brown paper with circles ad how they both brought out the picture with Alex wearing a dresses with circles.:) So the title was more or less obvious and I ended up loving this layout for its simplicity and symmetry. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcQ4SGdm2hlhY6ngExJETge-ev4FPtv1hVJsn7jlgy25b1LPaxSI1NLPYw_kt0BCoZ5Ktj_futxI1V4X5YPaBLelxOxFArDfeg1YIlKgG6ni32X8VNTfdyL_VC_iG3iCx4UlMTKFjx1aQX/s1600/Aug-trends-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcQ4SGdm2hlhY6ngExJETge-ev4FPtv1hVJsn7jlgy25b1LPaxSI1NLPYw_kt0BCoZ5Ktj_futxI1V4X5YPaBLelxOxFArDfeg1YIlKgG6ni32X8VNTfdyL_VC_iG3iCx4UlMTKFjx1aQX/s320/Aug-trends-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

This is also valid for all the kids so we pretty much had a full house or a full yard all the time. The only bad part of August is that since it is hurricane month, there's a lot of lightning and thunders and a LOT of rain. Thinking about it I think we had rain almost every day. It's not an all day long thing, but it's still frustrating. One of the afternoons, when it rained in the monring and we got some sun after, the children decided to play some volleyball and I decided it was a good opportunity for me to take some pictures. The result of the two is a new layout created with the kit <a href="http://sunshinestudioscraps.com/shop/product.php?productid=567&cat=0&page=1">All about Funk</a> by <a href="http://sunshinestudioscraps.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=3">Web Designz by Kristi</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhajdhu7kgGkGR9cGnBwaizwnegfQnW6wpzZcTT19jU6ppY-bgMpbJBcwTKozcj1CcVJn82KVQ5-wveUkyG7BmDNB7M0Cz2P30UCh4n6dMli0g9APLjAnNGh8Kv6W54CTBlxG9iV5O9bcy2/s1600/aug-random.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhajdhu7kgGkGR9cGnBwaizwnegfQnW6wpzZcTT19jU6ppY-bgMpbJBcwTKozcj1CcVJn82KVQ5-wveUkyG7BmDNB7M0Cz2P30UCh4n6dMli0g9APLjAnNGh8Kv6W54CTBlxG9iV5O9bcy2/s320/aug-random.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

So when I had to scraplift a layout from Hanizah from Sunshine Studio Scraps I know immediately. She has several designs that I love, but this one in particular was calling me. Since it was a simple, but elegant layout and I didn't need a lot of elements or papers I used <a href="http://sunshinestudioscraps.com/shop/product.php?productid=567&cat=0&page=1">All About Funk</a> by <a href="http://sunshinestudioscraps.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=3">Web Designz by Kristi</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB680nmyg8bri4PlaYGAqniCr0I1osWZc9_XdR5VKY3aZDHg6HItVsZvZPkZ9dXmWzsrsVZl45-tAWFu0SjZLxpZPfYUah_GRn58f4HzSQLSaFEe4w47Chi4mHcAcO5v3FnEg9ZIQkETtt/s1600/sun-aug-scraplift.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB680nmyg8bri4PlaYGAqniCr0I1osWZc9_XdR5VKY3aZDHg6HItVsZvZPkZ9dXmWzsrsVZl45-tAWFu0SjZLxpZPfYUah_GRn58f4HzSQLSaFEe4w47Chi4mHcAcO5v3FnEg9ZIQkETtt/s320/sun-aug-scraplift.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>and this is where I got my inspiration from: <a href="http://www.sunshinestudioscraps.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=2109">Hanizah</a>'s layout<br />

This is when I am thankful for templates and use them. I am very picky when it comes to my work as well as others' and oftentimes I start with a layout and delete or move layers around till I am satisfied with the way the layout turned. This time, the template was provided for the August template challenge from <a href="http://sunshinestudioscraps.com/">Sunshine Studio Scraps</a> and it was created by <a href="http://sunshinestudioscraps.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=73">Christy HC</a>. The kit I used was one of<a href="http://sunshinestudioscraps.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=129"> Jen C Designs</a>' kit called <a href="http://sunshinestudioscraps.com/shop/product.php?productid=36542&cat=0&page=1">Tranquility</a>. I took all the pictures as usual and put elements instead of all the text spaces. I really like how this layout turned out especially since I have three beautiful children in it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirIn-nKsP3WcWP_FeLA4LEoJApAxiwLduqEgbntywnowkglwu0rIa139hb8h28yvDES-Cjq0xcgNl2OhFE3H4X6G59e6rINAd8h6ejkqV7Z6Sy4Veuodyxw65-Kyoc99Jp6EdsOmrblTcw/s1600/sun-aug-challenge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirIn-nKsP3WcWP_FeLA4LEoJApAxiwLduqEgbntywnowkglwu0rIa139hb8h28yvDES-Cjq0xcgNl2OhFE3H4X6G59e6rINAd8h6ejkqV7Z6Sy4Veuodyxw65-Kyoc99Jp6EdsOmrblTcw/s320/sun-aug-challenge.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

One of their challenges is about taking pictures. This month the show off was pictures you missed for different reasons. Mine are so obvious that I don't even need to explain them. My baby and the other kids wanted to see how the roller skates work, but since they only fit my little one and she can't do it by herself, everybody was pretty much involved in the process. They helped her put her gear on, helped get in the yard and made sure she didn't fall. They took turns pulling her from one side to the other of the yard and every time she got to the gate she wanted a picture or two with somebody, which of course was more than fine for me. Obviously I took some pictures with them apart from the ones they were posing in and here are some of the not so good ones.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiGFkYp5jZXf5AXgsy_LcgdXLujp6tV8sgvnuhJ0askvhg1A3Az2QMvibEEW2P5th30mAt_7OgFnGtpqbiIU1DMp3piMmVpN8qN9U6HpVRqpdUFKib2fGlIr1hilhQ4enUpVdUQMRK9tHh/s1600/Picture-023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiGFkYp5jZXf5AXgsy_LcgdXLujp6tV8sgvnuhJ0askvhg1A3Az2QMvibEEW2P5th30mAt_7OgFnGtpqbiIU1DMp3piMmVpN8qN9U6HpVRqpdUFKib2fGlIr1hilhQ4enUpVdUQMRK9tHh/s320/Picture-023.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ebyU5YL4prbnHKghBNZGzLS_2yPx8jYIX0wQOistYNhXdsULfNmP39IQAE_ZMxQF8cdRVNRi5h_ongZYoCDC_kOjyS2eQ3T-b8-YT1fteIEOc9ZHTmH9Cwl_JLp3fnfI6AjQSHioF_mU/s1600/Picture-004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ebyU5YL4prbnHKghBNZGzLS_2yPx8jYIX0wQOistYNhXdsULfNmP39IQAE_ZMxQF8cdRVNRi5h_ongZYoCDC_kOjyS2eQ3T-b8-YT1fteIEOc9ZHTmH9Cwl_JLp3fnfI6AjQSHioF_mU/s320/Picture-004.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLkxRPRLsptMI7JhgERaRmfi78tT3TlqZ_ug6ETZEcJsSYLgYjXM1yafiEXOrCVmenlVn4Dpmi8L_YI1eiP-D0aas2-B9d4L_m3A7733MZTM55pq8BFdhDsoIsAVfGzW-qs-HxSN4EMFlv/s1600/Picture-007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLkxRPRLsptMI7JhgERaRmfi78tT3TlqZ_ug6ETZEcJsSYLgYjXM1yafiEXOrCVmenlVn4Dpmi8L_YI1eiP-D0aas2-B9d4L_m3A7733MZTM55pq8BFdhDsoIsAVfGzW-qs-HxSN4EMFlv/s320/Picture-007.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>Marianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14778023593259216047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470301247119478180.post-5187346177094461802011-08-14T19:07:00.000-07:002011-08-21T16:57:12.564-07:00QP for Divine Digital<div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.divinedigital.com/">Divine Digital</a> offers a download a day kit just like many other scrapbooking websites. The designers here also offer extra bonuses on their personal blogs or websites and I made this QP in order to make an extra paper pack that goes with the kit offered in the download a day section. The kit is called Oh BE! Be! Baby and it is collaboration between three designers. Perfect for all the new born pictures and with a lot of blue or pink elements,it actually works for toddlers too.

I also have a lot of new pictures with my little one and my other two kids. Yes, we got them to stay with us for two weeks, so I tried to make sure they are okie and enjoy their time here. We played family games, we played video games, we had a party, we went to the river and to an amusement park. We also had a bunch of their cousins coming over all the time so I literary had a full house most of the time. At one point there were about thirty of us in the house, but anyways... it was fun.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Most of the speed scraps you see are from <a href="http://www.stufftoscrap.com/">Stuff to Scrap</a> and the layouts are made with products from their website. The best part of it is that you can use freebies offered by their designers to take part in the speed scraps, o you don't necessarily have to buy products to do a speed scrap. For this one I used <a href="http://stufftoscrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_33&products_id=5503">Denim and Daisies</a> by <a href="http://stufftoscrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=15">Scraps and Pieces</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

It also means a little bit of time for myself and since I'll start working full time soon, I am trying to take advantage of the time I still have. For this layout I used <a href="http://stufftoscrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=52">HD Creations</a> kit <a href="http://stufftoscrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_138&products_id=5509">Make a Wish</a>. For more beautiful kits and speed scraps you can check <a href="http://www.stufftoscrap.com/">Stuff to Scrap</a>. I am sure you will end up having lots of fun.</div><br />

Today I used a kit by <a href="http://stufftoscrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=1">Digi-Designs by Nicole</a>. The kit is called Baby of mine. I know my girl is not a baby anymore, but there are still plenty of ways to use the kit even if you do not have a new born in the family.</div><br />

It wasn't an usual layout for me because one of the rules was not to use any pictures, so I had to do a lot of journaling. It was also tricky because I decided to go with a mini kit and an add on so not too many elements or papers, but I was lucky to do it just with the two of them without having to waste time to look for yet another kit to match them or to redo my layout with another kit. I used <a href="http://stufftoscrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=5264">Adriana's cafe Softly Add on</a> and Scrapteam2008- Citrus. Now it's past midnight here and I plan to have a long fun day with the kids tomorrow, so I have to go to bed, but I promise to be back with ther layouts and maybe a few QPs this month. Happy August to all!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizBHTHI_gUaRajTJWz1AhwgHu35MsRwu1uX3Z9Ta5BEyonigYz1jbfIoUYgL9bnTw1j3UBiHfu5-CzeJvWesx6fLEOmVFStOfrnSxOg8_hUUvFQ3H_ZFwbyAoa_7VL75f_uAwQT6wWRV54/s1600/SS269.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizBHTHI_gUaRajTJWz1AhwgHu35MsRwu1uX3Z9Ta5BEyonigYz1jbfIoUYgL9bnTw1j3UBiHfu5-CzeJvWesx6fLEOmVFStOfrnSxOg8_hUUvFQ3H_ZFwbyAoa_7VL75f_uAwQT6wWRV54/s1600/SS269.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizBHTHI_gUaRajTJWz1AhwgHu35MsRwu1uX3Z9Ta5BEyonigYz1jbfIoUYgL9bnTw1j3UBiHfu5-CzeJvWesx6fLEOmVFStOfrnSxOg8_hUUvFQ3H_ZFwbyAoa_7VL75f_uAwQT6wWRV54/s320/SS269.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizBHTHI_gUaRajTJWz1AhwgHu35MsRwu1uX3Z9Ta5BEyonigYz1jbfIoUYgL9bnTw1j3UBiHfu5-CzeJvWesx6fLEOmVFStOfrnSxOg8_hUUvFQ3H_ZFwbyAoa_7VL75f_uAwQT6wWRV54/s1600/SS269.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>Marianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14778023593259216047noreply@blogger.com0
