like mother, like daughter

Hi digital scrappers!  I have been neglecting my digital scrapbooking blog lately.  I have been very busy with recent holidays and parties and I have been paper crafting up a storm!  I did manage to make a new scrapbook page though so I thought I would share it with you!  This page makes me happy!  My daughter Jillian took to scrapbooking and making cards like a fish to water.  She would look for "left overs" from my card classes or projects and she would turn them int o little cards or pages.  I gave her a scrapbook of her own and a box to keep her own embellishments in and she will often get it out and sit and create notes for friends and cute pages from class photos.  It's fun to see her enjoy to do something that I enjoy too!

This page uses a kit called "Color outside the lines".

Annual Christmas photo

Hello everyone!  I thought I would share a page I made with some of the pictures from our annual Christmas photo-shoot.  I love to get the kids pictures taken every year and they are usually pretty good sports about it.  The kids put up with a lot of poses and then tend to get a little stir crazy after a bit, so then I tell them to pose however they want.  When I said that the little two made silly faces, David simply turned around, clearly over it all.  I did get some good ones though, so it was all good!

 I used the My Memories Suite 6 software to create the page.  I used one of their premade templates and just dropped my photos in and added my background papers and embellishments.  There are so many premade photo layouts with this software, so you can start your page off easily and make it your own with papers and embellishments.  

 I used some elements from the Mad With Plaid kit from Sahlin Studios.  You can find the kit here.

Happy Birthday David

Hello everyone.  Is this a simple page or what?  Simple but it works for the photos and the occasion don't you think?  I used one background paper and one embellishment (three times) and that is it.  The little twinkeling stars are from a kit called after dark by Sarah Sahlin.  It is really for things like fireworks or magic or parties, but it was also perfect for my Star Wars themed cake.  I always ask my kids what sort of cake they want for their birthdays and it seems like they are getting a little crazier lately.  I am no cake designer for sure.  But even though it looks a bit off, I hope it tasted like love :)

The kit is $6.99 but when I went to go add the link I noticed that the bundle was on sale for $7.99.

Here is link if you would like to check it out
