Shine on Melothria!

I'm so glad Melothria created this with my challenging AquaStatic template! She made this layout for her cover of an album of her vacation in the country. She says it is a homage to the cows. I can't help but say it is really fun and moo - tiful too ;D (beautiful) . I love the texture of the stitches and fabric too. yet the photos still dominate and tell the story. It just makes me smile to see it.

Shine On Karin!

I love Karin's gorgeous layout using my AquaStatic Template! It is so vibrant and captures the playful spirit of her beautiful child. I love how the series of pictures look like a filmstrip. I really like where she put the large title too. I never thought about doing that. I also love how she used the large photos to show movement across the page. It makes this this layout very dynamic. She even made LO of the day on a German blog! Thank you Karin for trying out my template and posting your sweet comments on our blogs!

Shine on Jenny!

Jenny took on the challenge of my complicated, but very flexible AquaStatic Template. She really showed it off! She left a sweet comment on her blog and a link on my blog. Her layout is fabulous. Her blog is so creative. She did scrap outside the box LOL! I love how she used a different color for the "outlines" and she played that up with the color scheme. The contrast of the striped papers and floral patterns add the right touch and really show off her sweet photos. Very Creative! She is a homeschool mom, which means she is always busy! I am too!
N.B. Post updated to show LO and credits.

Splish Splash Layout

DS has fun playing in the bath and I had fun creating this layout. I took these photos last Friday while waiting for DH to come home from work and DD to come home from her sleepover. The kids have been sick and are hopefully on the mend now. My high hope for this day is to make it to the grocery store, which also means leaving our home "Realtor ready." Thanks FlyLady for sharing your love of routines. It is so much easier!
This layout was so fun to create. Pamela made a really fun kit! I enjoyed using the template and papers, tinkering with the embellishments and playing with the bubbles. I learn more every time I work in CS2.

Layout by Miss Vivi

Miss Vivi's Magnificent Layout!
Oh... this is just so beautiful! I love how you spread a panorama across two of the panels. What a great font to use for the title and I also love how you found a great spot for a long journal. The photos are so vibrant, but work so nicely with Mindy's beautiful "Diesel & Dust" kit! Thank you for creating this lovely layout with my template, for crediting me and letting me know! I love seeing what can be created with my template. Please let me know if you would like me to post your layout. Credits: Kit "Diesel & Dust" de Mindy, Police CK LoveNote et Angelina.

Graduated

Good Morning! We are having some wind and cooler weather this morning. It has been very lovely out here, the birds were singing. The weather has just become quite overcast and suddenly the birds are silent. Possibly it is time to take the laptop inside :)

Our friend's DD graduated high school and we enjoy a wonderful visit and celebration last night. Congratulations!!! It is hard to believe she is already grown up. So much behind you and so much ahead! I got to share my love of digital scrapbooking with them, thanks to DH's cool laptop. Look for Miss Vivi's fine layout in the next post, I'm having a technical problem.

If you went on the field trip and are looking for the pictures, please see the top link on the right. Only participants in the trip and my family are allowed access to those pictures. You will need a password, please email me for that.

Memorial Day Layout

Ed took this beautiful photo of the kids when we went to the annual Blue Crab Festival. It was so nice and breezy! I finally got my second layout done. I kept it simple to feature the photo. I have so much to learn about Photoshop cs2. I am still so awed by all of the wonderful comments I have received here on my blog and through 4shared. I wish I could read French. Miss Vivi has a magnificent layout using my template on her blog. I will post it if I can :) I can't tell who did it, but I am grateful to Emilie for posting on Maryse's blog to let me know. My DD is back from her sleepover. DS kept me on my toes yesterday with his incessant curiosity. He is into everything!
