I have to admit something. Christmas and Valentine's Day are a struggle for me to scrap. I don't know why, they just are. But this week I started creating with the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1228/February-2014-Kit.htm">February Birds of a Feather kit</a> and I had a great time! I never mix red and pink, since I don't really use pink, but red and pink are so fun together! I really love the word/definition cards that come with the kit too. I had and an old photo booth strip that I wanted to use so I gave the page a casual feel. I layered my pink paper on to red paper, folded down the top corner and added a paper clip. I used some chipboard letters that Amy sent me and painted them with the red paint. It was my first time using a doily on a page too! Added the word card, some sequins, arrows, initials and distressed the edges with the paint! Done!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to make a Valentine's Day card next. I posted a sequins pocket idea at the <a href="http://forum.birdsofafeatherkitco.com/viewtopic.php?f=450&t=7903">BOAF forums</a> the other day and wanted to give it a try. I used some clear packaging, cut up some patterned paper to fit in the clear package and added sequins. I stapled the top shut to keep the sequins from falling out and covered the staples with the big speech bubble. I added one of the word cards in the kit and there you have it! A cute little card that I think will be going to my daughter. </div>

I really did have a great time creating this week and plan on doing more this weekend! Make sure you share with us what you create with the kit. The gallery is always open for adding more inspiration! Happy Scrapping!</div>

Yesterday I posted a challenge for you and today I'm posting another reveal with the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1143/January-2014-Kit.htm">BOAF January Kit!</a> Again, I kept it simple and had fun using the different pieces of paper from ADORN IT. </div>
<div align="center">
I cut some block pieces of the paper and stated layering on both pages. For the first layout I even used one of the adorable envelopes from the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1133/December-2013-Kit.htm">December Kit</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the second layout I layered paper and included one of the clear polaroid frames under the title. The red stickers in the kit gave this page a great pop of color.</div>

Hi everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>IT'S TIME FOR A NEW SUNDAY CHALLENGE!</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1143/January-2014-Kit.htm">January Kit</a> @ Birds of a Feather comes with a cute page of Echo Park 3/4 cards so I based today's challenge on them! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For your layout I want you to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Use two 3/4 cards (they can be quotes, journaling, blank...whatever!)</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>&</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>use a picture with YOU in it!</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is what I came up with. I used a picture of Paul and I on our anniversary and I used 3 cards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can't believe it. That means it's time for my first <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1143/January-2014-Kit.htm">January Kit</a> Reveal! This month we get to create with papers from Adorn It and Echo Park. My favorite part of the kit though, is the sheet of clear polaroid overlays from Allison Kreft from Webster's Pages. They are easy to use and add a little something to your pictures! For my two layouts I kept it nice and simple. My first layout is of my daughter and one of her barn chores at riding lessons. Had to document how she will clean up after horse but not herself. :) I layered paper from the Adorn It collection. This is actually one sheet of paper but I used both sides and layered it on a white background. Easy! Then I took an Instagram picture, covered it with one of the clear frames, then added the title in red letters for a little pop. I also included one of the little frames that is on the polaroid sheet. (Just love them!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A7NF47GkJZk/UtF1clUrKWI/AAAAAAAABnU/MX6PfttPU5M/s1600/img008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A7NF47GkJZk/UtF1clUrKWI/AAAAAAAABnU/MX6PfttPU5M/s1600/img008.jpg" height="640" width="488" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my 2nd layout I went with a black, grey and red color scheme. I used black and white pictures of Ziggy and Dexter, cut out an ampersand card from the 12 X 12 sheet in the kit, added the red title again and some simple embellishments. Done! I couldn't resist adding more of the mini polaroid to this layout too. Really like that some are plain and some have images in the frame. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then of course, I had to add an initial to both layouts.</div>

Hi everyone! It's <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1133/December-2013-Kit.htm">December kit</a> time! I am loving the great wintery colors that Amy put together and I was so excited to see sheets of wood grain paper in this kit too. So, of course, I had do my first layout with it! I used some pictures from this past February. (so glad I finally got them scrapped) Yep. That wood grain paper is so great! I really like the rustic feel it gives to the page. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/DSC_0049-001_zps0a004067.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/DSC_0049-001_zps0a004067.jpg" width="490" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was having so much fun with the kit, I made another layout. This kit really makes it easy to put pages together. I layered several of the papers and then added the big title. (the big alphas for the title are part of the Timbergrove line but are not included with the kit. The little ones are part of the kit and they are so cute!) The star stickers are part of the sticker sheet and I gave them some dimension by adhering them with a pop dot. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/DSC_0056-001_zpsfce70590.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/DSC_0056-001_zpsfce70590.jpg" width="492" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With the scraps I had from the above layout, I had to make a card. I added one of the cute little envelopes in the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1133/December-2013-Kit.htm">kit</a> and put the snowflakes and sentiment right on it. Now I have a card to send out and I used up scraps! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/DSC_0046-001_zps2ae4d940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/DSC_0046-001_zps2ae4d940.jpg" width="494" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be making a lot more with this kit and if you bought it over at <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1133/December-2013-Kit.htm">BOAF</a> I hope you start scrapping with it. Make sure you post your creations in our <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.ning.com/photo">gallery</a>!</div>

Time for another reveal with this month's kit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really am loving the soft colors in the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1128/November-2013-Kit.htm">November Kit</a> @ <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/">Birds of A Feather</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only are the colors great, but the embellishments are so fun. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this reveal, I made two more layouts. On my first layout, I used patterned paper from both Heidi Swapp and Carta Bella. I love how well these two go together. For the "8" in my title, I cut out the number from another Heidi Swapp paper. Then of course I used the cut glitter alphas for the rest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/DSC_0370_zps773f4a79.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/DSC_0370_zps773f4a79.jpg" width="265" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a close up of the title card, journaling and date tab.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/DSC_0372_zps21d71a81.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/DSC_0372_zps21d71a81.jpg" width="265" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On this next layout, I mixed up the Carta Bella patterned paper. Love the patterns on both!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my embellishments I wanted to draw attention to the picture of my dad and I, so I used a </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
vellum arrow from the Heidi Swapp embellishment pack (not included in the kit).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love that I scrapped a page of my dad and I. That doesn't happen very often. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This kit can be used for so many different pictures. I plan on scrapping more this weekend so I think I will use up more of this great <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1128/November-2013-Kit.htm">November Kit</a>!! If you use yours, make sure you share what you create over in the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/pages/Gallery.htm">gallery at BOAF</a>!</div>

I couldn't wait to start creating with the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1128/November-2013-Kit.htm">November Kit</a> from <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1128/November-2013-Kit.htm">Birds of A Feather</a>. Here's my first layout that I created and I had so much fun. I used some fun pictures of Kate being her entertaining self. I don't usually go for glitter, but I am loving the glitter letters in the kit! I also added one of the journaling cards I made for my <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.ning.com/profiles/blogs/technique-tuesdays-journaling-card-inspiration">November Technique</a>.

Here is a close up of how I added the title to the card for a quick page embellishment.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then of course I had to make a card. Can't have enough cards made up to give to friends and family. Not only do I love the glitter letters, I love the glitter words in the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1132/November-2013-Extra-Embellishments-2.htm">Kit Extras</a>! I think they worked well together to make up the sentiment. </div>

Hello! I can't believe we are already working with the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1128/November-2013-Kit.htm">November Kit</a>. For today's Technique Tuesday I have some journaling card inspiration. I had some blank journaling cards that I wanted to dress up before I used them in my Project Life Album. I also wanted to use them on layouts I create with the kit. So, for those of you that don't participate in Project Life, you can use these for your layouts or cards! My journaling cards are actually from Project Life but you can use any kind you have or that you cut out yourself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kit Amy put together this month really has great colors and embellishments. I used a little bit of everything to decorate the cards. The rub-ons, glitter words and alpha stickers, the mini frames, journaling spots and the fun rolling stamp that is in the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1132/November-2013-Extra-Embellishments-2.htm">November Kit Extras</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This shows you some the ways I mixed up the embellishments. I just had a lot of fun with it. I even cut out pieces of the patterned paper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not only did I create journaling cards, I also used a picture on one for inserting in my Project Life page. I love that these are made up and ready to grab at any time. Here are some details of the cards. I used initials, dates, cut up the journaling spots that are in the kit and also layered the banners that are in the extras. (I did include some ephemera pieces that are not included in the kit.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FX6uS6c_eE0/UnAYTXwkwOI/AAAAAAAABmA/Sjsn05TkIQI/s1600/October+2013-003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FX6uS6c_eE0/UnAYTXwkwOI/AAAAAAAABmA/Sjsn05TkIQI/s400/October+2013-003.jpg" width="400" /></a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are all the cards that I completed! I think the November Kit had so many fun colors and patterns to work with. Now, I can't wait to add these to my projects!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Time for my last reveal with the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1117/October-2013-Kit.htm">October Kit</a>! I did another layout and card. Once again, I used flowers even though I normally don't. (Insert gasp here.) But I really thought the flower stickers in the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1119/Oct-13-Extra-Embellishments-2.htm">extras</a> were so pretty. Love the colors. So, I used them on a simple "Thank You" card. I used some pop dots to give the card some dimension and the sentiment was done with the alpha stickers that are in the kit. And my favorite wood grain paper was used for the background of the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/dfbf5d0e-74c6-4776-bc67-9a18e6e72871_zps739b9819.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/dfbf5d0e-74c6-4776-bc67-9a18e6e72871_zps739b9819.jpg" width="457" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my layout, I kept it simple too. Of course, I think I have a pretty simple style so I don't think it's too surprising. I used a picture of our dog, the wonderful wood grain paper and some strips of the orange patterned paper. I did some fussy cutting for the LOVE tag and added the stickers for the date and the journaling. I thought the little orange button, which is also from the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1119/Oct-13-Extra-Embellishments-2.htm">extras,</a> looked cute as an embellishment. Just like the "Thank You" card, I used the alpha stickers from the kit. And of course I couldn't leave out an initial! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/9fba449f-5887-4611-9122-29002bac807f_zps92dad44d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/9fba449f-5887-4611-9122-29002bac807f_zps92dad44d.jpg" width="494" /></a></div>

I really can't believe it's October already. Where does the time go? A new month means a <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1117/October-2013-Kit.htm">new kit</a> and Amy put together one with great fall colors. Not only is it great for fall, I used the papers for a Halloween page. I couldn't help it. The green, orange and purple of the Bo Bunny papers just scream Halloween to me. So I grabbed a picture from last year, cut some strips from the patterned papers and added some embellishments and a die cut title.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The circles are from the chipboard pieces included in the kit and I used one button from the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1119/Oct-13-Extra-Embellishments-2.htm">kit extras</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut the title with my Cameo for and easy title. The Prima alphas weren't the color I needed for this page, so I used a black ink dabber and painted them to match. The quote bubble is also a die cut.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0jZpfdO8Joo/Uk4lO7QHwwI/AAAAAAAABfs/GCHkrICiVQA/s1600/DSC_0490.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0jZpfdO8Joo/Uk4lO7QHwwI/AAAAAAAABfs/GCHkrICiVQA/s640/DSC_0490.JPG" width="491" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my Thank You card I went with the Echo Park Papers. The wood grain paper is my favorite so I made it the base. I added stickers from the sticker sheet in the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1119/Oct-13-Extra-Embellishments-2.htm">extras</a> and cut out a butterfly from the Authentique page that Amy included with the kit. I used some pop dots to make the butterfly stand out a little more. This was a simple card and now I have a thank you card ready for when I need one! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This kit went pretty fast, but there is still one left in the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/category_1/Papercrafting-Kits.htm">boutique</a>.

Hello again! It's time to show you more of my creations using the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1109/September-2013-Kit.htm">September Kit</a>! The colors in this months kit really are gorgeous. I am loving the yellow, and for my layout I used a lot. I took some Instagram pictures of Kate and I at the fair this summer that seemed perfect for the papers. I cut out some of the chevron pattern and added them to the top and bottom of the layout to draw the eye to the pictures. Then I layered 3 different patterned papers in the center and put the pictures in block style.</div>
<div align="center">
I added some washi tape and did a little bit of sewing too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TA1ftYmtFo4/UjperoiFX4I/AAAAAAAABfc/TVbOmz9JRdM/s1600/DTarmadefair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TA1ftYmtFo4/UjperoiFX4I/AAAAAAAABfc/TVbOmz9JRdM/s400/DTarmadefair.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
I left one of the spaces open for the mixed font title. I used the American Craft Thickers that are in the kit, some tiny alphas from my stash and cut the "FAIR" out using pattered paper and my Cameo.</div>
<div align="center">
I distressed the little alphas to give it that used look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/DSC_0001-003_zps9fb16a60.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/DSC_0001-003_zps9fb16a60.jpg" width="265" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now for my card. Don't fall out of your seat girls. I used a FLOWER!! Can you believe it? It wasn't hard at all! LOL. I used more of the Close Knit paper but these are softer then the ones I used on the layout. The minty green color at the top is so pretty. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/6e036826-7238-4231-a576-636ed5ef23f1_zps7c143c26.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/6e036826-7238-4231-a576-636ed5ef23f1_zps7c143c26.jpg" width="312" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The ruler ribbon is folded toward each end and I used pop dots to give it some dimension. </div>

Then I added the flower with a wonderful little enamel dot and cut out a tag from one of the patterned papers in the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1113/Sept-13-Extra-Patterned-Paper.htm">kit extras</a>. I cut a little slit in the tag and tucked it under the dot so it would stay. I love making "hey" cards just to have when I need a card to send to someone. Now, what will you creative with your September Kit? Make sure you show us when you are done!</div>

What a way to start my first month for the DT! I am having such a great time with the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1109/September-2013-Kit.htm">September Kit</a>!! I love the colors, extras, and all the embellishments. For my first layout I used papers from the Crate Paper "Close Knit" line. I layered some pieces of patterned paper and journaling spots. I did some fussy cutting with the camera paper and added a camera to the corner of my design. It might be hard to tell, but I added a photo overlay to my Instagram picture and I love it. The overlays are definitely a great part of the kit! They are just a fun way to add something to your pictures!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut out some journaling spots from one of the sheets in the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1113/Sept-13-Extra-Patterned-Paper.htm">extras kit</a>. I stamped the date and did a little journaling above the picture. I added a little distressing to some of the edges too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/6c32b69a-7b10-41bb-920b-f520d37123a0_zps204b787a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/6c32b69a-7b10-41bb-920b-f520d37123a0_zps204b787a.jpg" width="311" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just love the layered borders in the kit. I added one to the top of my page with a little subtitle. It even has the stitching right on it! They are all so cute!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/69d1c3e5-0c33-4692-b39e-d8b689ccea02_zps3d086b44.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/69d1c3e5-0c33-4692-b39e-d8b689ccea02_zps3d086b44.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my second layout I went with a different color scheme but it is still papers from the Close Knit line. The yellow and blue just look so good together so I had to used them. Part of my title is made form the American Craft Thickers that come in the kit and the "my" in the title is made from some of the patterned paper and cutting it with my Cameo. I did some layering, added the picture of my sweet dog and added the title and journaling. I think it's a totally different feel from my first page. Another reason to love the kit Amy put together. You can do so much with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/71d57c14-6803-4793-a684-08f6eb3d5e4b_zps05865408.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/janetd2219/71d57c14-6803-4793-a684-08f6eb3d5e4b_zps05865408.jpg" width="313" /></a></div>

I hope you head over and check out what the <a href="http://birdsofafeatherkitco.com/item_1109/September-2013-Kit.htm">September Kit</a> has to offer! Amy did a wonderful job putting it all together and I can't wait to start creating more layout and cards to share. Have a wonderful week!</div>

Hi everyone! It's time for my first technique post at <a href="http://hi%20everyone!%20%20it's%20time%20for%20my%20first%20technique%20post.%20%20ok,%20so%20it%20was%20supposed%20to%20be%20a%20few%20days%20ago%20but%20our%20computer/internet%20wasn't%20going%20to%20let%20that%20happen.%20%20But%20now%20we%20are%20up%20and%20running!">Birds of A Feather</a>. Ok, so it was supposed to be a few days ago but our computer/internet wasn't going to let that happen. But now we are up and running!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know about you, but I love the cute Instagram frames that are popular right now. So, I thought I would use some frames and show you they are not just for pictures. I've seen this idea on several layouts throughout Pinterest but I don't remember which ones. If you don't have the Instagram frames, any size frame will work for this. First I got all my supplies together. I planned on using everything pictured but of course that changed when I started creating the page. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eHC-CMbo2cA/UiARh3BpIVI/AAAAAAAABdM/INQ_BvtAX-c/s1600/DSC_0350.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eHC-CMbo2cA/UiARh3BpIVI/AAAAAAAABdM/INQ_BvtAX-c/s400/DSC_0350.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I started laying out the pictures and frames. I knew I wanted the frames to overlap, so I put the pictures close together then added the frames. I love that these frames have places to add journaling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ToAVaz4vjJI/UiASoe67rdI/AAAAAAAABdY/6gE3hPl2ecs/s1600/DSC_0361.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ToAVaz4vjJI/UiASoe67rdI/AAAAAAAABdY/6gE3hPl2ecs/s400/DSC_0361.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just kept repeating this process with my 4 frames, making sure they were a little staggered and overlapped. I think it gives it a little more of a casual fun feel. (at least that's what I think.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QEF2rJGVnKM/UiATk1kOTXI/AAAAAAAABdk/MHdzPPWHo6k/s1600/August+2013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QEF2rJGVnKM/UiATk1kOTXI/AAAAAAAABdk/MHdzPPWHo6k/s400/August+2013.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fourth frame is not holding a picture. This is where I changed it up a bit. Instead of framing one of my pictures, I wanted to use it for framing some of my embellishments. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iIYXYoK7ogI/UiAUwMXuNKI/AAAAAAAABd4/DbQIpiMyCFQ/s1600/DSC_0357.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iIYXYoK7ogI/UiAUwMXuNKI/AAAAAAAABd4/DbQIpiMyCFQ/s400/DSC_0357.JPG" width="311" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tucked some phrase tags under the edge of the frame. I layered a few down the side, then I made them pop a little by outlining them with a black Sharpie. I used a pop dot to adhere the star.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a_2ANBoER0c/UiAWKp-yajI/AAAAAAAABeE/QWjPEKizkow/s1600/DSC_0364.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a_2ANBoER0c/UiAWKp-yajI/AAAAAAAABeE/QWjPEKizkow/s400/DSC_0364.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fe4BCvof3Jg/UiAWUxYKAmI/AAAAAAAABeM/Thq5WLpnmnw/s1600/DSC_0365.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fe4BCvof3Jg/UiAWUxYKAmI/AAAAAAAABeM/Thq5WLpnmnw/s400/DSC_0365.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To give the page some finishing touches, I added my new favorite embellishment, enamel dots, some washi tape to a few of the frames and then outlined the whole design in black. And this is what the final layout looks like...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QRP0UtcBhqk/UiAUieKK9gI/AAAAAAAABd0/nLupFbxwBvk/s1600/DSC_0367.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QRP0UtcBhqk/UiAUieKK9gI/AAAAAAAABd0/nLupFbxwBvk/s400/DSC_0367.JPG" width="315" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a lot of fun with this page and I hope it inspires you to either pull out your frames or go out and buy some. If you do, I would love to see your layout. It's quick and easy and gives your pictures and embellishments a little more UMPH! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(The frames and tags are both from Elle's Studio) </div>

<a href="http://forum.birdsofafeatherkitco.com/index.php">Birds of a Feather Kit Co. </a>is having a Lovebirds weekend crop! The DT has posted some great inspiration on the boards to get you in the scrapbooking mood! I've managed to get two done so far and I'm working on a third. If you have time, head over to the site and see what challenges are posted! These are the two I have done so far. Hoping to get all of them done by Wednesday...which is the deadline for submissions. janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16252224458429936500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2875852668138675644.post-43107422250960566182012-11-30T19:31:00.000-08:002012-11-30T19:32:19.527-08:00Photo OpSo, yesterday my darling teenage son forgot his math book at school. After reminding him several times to bring it home, you could say I was not happy when he told me he didn't have it. Since he had some assignments to redo I had to take him up to school to get the book. Now, I always have my point and shoot camera in my purse since you never know when a picture opportunity will present itself. Right? Right! And a photo op jumped right out at me yesterday. I planned on taking a pic of Ty and his locker before we even left the house. But I didn't know it would work out so well. His locker is right under the school sign. Then Tyler was even wearing his "Class of '17" sweatshirt. Locker, school name, and class sweatshirt. HOW COULD I NOT TAKE A PICTURE? Even though I was annoyed with him it didn't stop me from getting a good picture. Sometimes it's just too good to pass up! Don't tell him I'm glad he forgot his book.

I'm still here. I know. I know. It's been a while. I said I would keep my blog up and I haven't. I've been posting on Facebook and other galleries and haven't paid attention to this. So, I thought I'd post some layouts to catch up a bit.
I did this one for a sketch challenge at <a href="http://forum.birdsofafeatherkitco.com/viewforum.php?f=362">Birds of a Feather</a>

They had a sale on the horses Kate collect. They also had a little petting farm and pony rides in the parking lot. It was really cute! Cole and Kate had a good time petting all the animals. Loved the funky alpaca and Kate wanted to take a chicken home! Cole took two pony rides but Kate didn't want to since the guy walked the kids around the parking lot. But I walked out of the store and found Kate walking the horse around on her own! She told him she rides and leads horses all the time so he let her take him! I was waiting for her to jump on and take off!

It's been a fun weekend!
Hope you all enjoyed yours!janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16252224458429936500noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2875852668138675644.post-48086090341500008412012-08-10T22:15:00.001-07:002012-08-12T11:17:10.431-07:00What? I have a blog?Look what I found! My long lost blog. I have not posted in such a long time. I even managed to ignore a few comments that friends left. (sorry Heather and Izzy!) Plan on keeping up over here with some scrappy stuff. At least that's the plan.
This is the last layout and card I created. The layout is made using Echo Park Everyday Eclectic which I just love. The papers are from one of the August kits @ <a href="http://http://scraptasticclub.invisionzone.com/">Scraptastic</a>. I used some Dear Lizzy for the card, which I also love! Did both of these for challenges at <a href="http://forum.birdsofafeatherkitco.com/index.php">Birds of a Feather.

I cropped tonight with my sister and managed to do 3 layouts. I'll take some pictures and post those soon!

Hope you had a good time ringing in the new year. Ours was nice and mellow which was fine with me. (a change from when I was younger and had to be doing "something" or I wasn't cool!)<br /><br />I hope to organize a bit this year. I say it every year but this house needs some major organizing so we have a bit more room for things. Wish me luck...i'm going to need it.<br /><br />I plan on scrapping a lot this year too! Between scrapping and my Project Life I should have a lot to work on. If you are in the scrapping mood head on over to the <a href="http:/http://www.sketchythursdays.blogspot.com/">Sketchy Thursdays Blog</a> and get some inspiration. This weeks sketch is another great one. Make sure, when you create a layout based on the sketch you link your layout to the site for a chance at to win a prize. We love seeing everyone's work! Here's this week's sketch and my take on it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nxjRlV_NNbI/TwYfLH0Lr3I/AAAAAAAABIo/7kmNR0xQTiA/s1600/Sketch_010512.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nxjRlV_NNbI/TwYfLH0Lr3I/AAAAAAAABIo/7kmNR0xQTiA/s400/Sketch_010512.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694273054793510770" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ABCOtWdX6Es/TwYfLFcS3AI/AAAAAAAABI0/4IktIP2Fxhw/s1600/img091.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 223px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ABCOtWdX6Es/TwYfLFcS3AI/AAAAAAAABI0/4IktIP2Fxhw/s400/img091.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694273054156446722" /></a><br /><br />The deadline to turn in your layout is Wednesday, January 11th!!

I have one kid home today not feeling too well. Grrr! Can't be sick now. I'm pretty sure she was sick last year at this time too. Hopefully it doesn't last long. <br />I am going to try and finish my Christmas shopping today before Paul has to leave for work. I know what I have to get so that should make it a little easier.<br /><br />Have you been over to <a href="http:/http://www.sketchythursdays.blogspot.com/">Sketchy Thursday's Blog</a> yet? A new sketch with new inspiration from the Design Team is posted! It will be up for 2 weeks since this week is Christmas and they are pretty sure no one will get much scrapping done this week. So that gives you more time to create a layout based on the sketch and put your layout in for a chance at the prize!<br /><br />Here's the sketch<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SM9D1jtC_Wc/Tu89HgvyzuI/AAAAAAAABH4/LjBm_dsJQ6g/s1600/sketch_121511HM.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SM9D1jtC_Wc/Tu89HgvyzuI/AAAAAAAABH4/LjBm_dsJQ6g/s400/sketch_121511HM.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687832053651001058" /></a><br /><br />and here's my take on it<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Q4fODplw1Gk/Tu89HwxxtkI/AAAAAAAABIE/QSVaHtS_bkk/s1600/img090.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 304px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Q4fODplw1Gk/Tu89HwxxtkI/AAAAAAAABIE/QSVaHtS_bkk/s400/img090.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687832057954285122" /></a><br /><br />Like I said you have through December 28th to get your take on the sketch to the blog!

I know I say it every year but it just seems to have blown by this year. Maybe it's because I'm 40 now and time is going faster. I have 6 months and I'll be 41...I like 40 better. lol.<br />I need to get going on my Christmas shopping. I have a few stocking stuffers for the kids and one present for Kate. But that is it. <br />I also need to start some calendars on Snapfish.com that I make for the grandparents. I am way behind on that too. <br /> <br />I did manage to fit some scrapping in for our sketch at <a href="http:/http://www.sketchythursdays.blogspot.com/2011/12/1201-sketch.html">Sketchy Thursdays</a>. Check out the 12.01 sketch and my take on it. If you can squeeze in some scrap time between shopping I hope you will post a layout based on the sketch. you know there is always a great prize involved!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u6TFuDI4oXU/TteVEotr_rI/AAAAAAAABHQ/ndX2_jzA4UQ/s1600/sketch_120111.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u6TFuDI4oXU/TteVEotr_rI/AAAAAAAABHQ/ndX2_jzA4UQ/s400/sketch_120111.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681173361832230578" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zpIb1fIWAAM/TteVE6dQWhI/AAAAAAAABHc/HzSI_C3SCXk/s1600/img088.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 304px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zpIb1fIWAAM/TteVE6dQWhI/AAAAAAAABHc/HzSI_C3SCXk/s400/img088.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681173366595148306" /></a><br /><br />You have until next week Wednesday to post your creation!!
