But first a belated Christmas Present! My hubby got me Paint Shop Pro X2 for Christmas and I have been playing. I made my first bubble! This could be used as a frame as I have or put a cute embellishment behind it:) Hope you can use it. I also used Rasberry Roads Designers Toolbox while creating this:) Download here.

My blog has been looking messy lately. With being so busy having four kids home around the holidays, I have not been able to post as regularly as I like to. It seems that loading so many layouts at once is screwing something up because I can not figure out why the font is large in some places and small in others. Nor, why it looks bolded here but not there, or why the spacing size varies. I did not put all those extra spaces between my lines. Hopefully in January, when I get back to posting a couple layouts a day whatever this problem is will go away



My second layout for my newest creative team, Scrappin Digi Kreations!

When I saw the kit “Morning Glory” by Scrap Kitten, I knew I HAD to have it!

It reminded me of the days when I first started paper scrapping and I would make all my layouts mimic what was happening in the photos. For instance, to scrap the photo of my son is climbing in a tree; I would have made an outside scene with a tree and put the photo inside the tree as I have done below.

Being a nature girl at heart, I love, Love, LOVE this kit! The clouds, tree, flowers, grass, leaves AND butterflies are FANTASTIC and the colors are such fun:)

This is a photo of my son climbing the tree at his grandmother’s house.

This is a photo of some of my daycare children playing outside.
