What I've been working on :)

Well.. school is just about to start, and I've had a lot to get ready. My son is going to be in Kindergarten this year, so now I have two students :) Here's a look at some of my most recent pages:

Barnyard Blast

Take a look at this darling kit being released tomorrow by Pamela Donnis and Jan Hosford:



It was perfect for these pictures I had of Sophie at the state fair (only 3 years ago, lol!)

Quick and Easy Personalized Thank You Cards!

Both my oldest daughter's and my son's birthdays fall right around the end of August, and every year I go all out with the parties, lol! This year my son chose a {Dragons & Dinosaurs} theme for his birthday, and my daughter went with a {Western Theme}. I took pictures of each one of the guests, and made up a 4x6 Thank you card. I had them printed at Costco, and then I mounted them on 4.5 x 6.5 " cardstock. I had each child add a few lines of thanks to the back of each card, and then we sent them out. Very easy, very fast, and very much appreciated by each one of the birthday guests!


Here are my son, Grant's cards:

Here's Sophia's cards:

Need Some Inspiration?

Happy Monday to you! I want to share a fun psuedo-hybrid project I had made using Nikki's gorgeous kit {Color Me Happy}



as well as {Get Your Happy On} by Amy Stoffel, and {Dino-Mite}, also by Amy Stoffel

At www.artscow.com, I stumbled across these two-sided dog tags on sale for $1.99 each with free shipping. The specs call for a 450 x 800 pixel design, so I chose a picture for each child for the front of the dog tag, and then created a name plate for each child using some digital goodies. I then uploaded them to the site as .jpgs and dropped them onto the project. Here's a screenshot of the finished designs:

They just came in the mail last week.. and they turned out awesome! Each side of the dogtag is encased in hard, clear expoxy; so these should be kidproof for a good, long time, lol! As you can see, each of my intended recipients was very happy :)

These tags are still on sale, and turned out to be a great deal... so I might need to make some more!. Hope this inspires your week!

Bounce With Me!

I had so much fun with this kit, and I decided that Sophie would love (especially, lol) the bright orange. What a gorgeous girl :)
