Here are a couple of layouts I made with this kit for inspiration.

I have to admit, I had a difficult time looking for photos to use with this kit. The color scheme calls for drama. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of photos with drama. So I simply picked photos where any of my little girls (um... I only have one daughter by the way, but I have a whole lot of nieces) are wearing red. 

The photo used in the layout above was taken during their birthday party. Their birthdays are only days apart so we decided to have one party for both of them.

This second layout was much harder... I had no idea how to present the layout considering I put a somewhat funny photo of Andrea there. I figured I could balance the drama of the layout and the funny photo with a funny quote so...

Anyway, it's Friday!!! I am so happy it's Friday. I am so behind on my layouts because it's a little busy at work and for some reason, traffic has been heavy so I get home a little later than usual. I hope I get to make-up for all my self-imposed backlog this weekend. I want to get on those challenges!

Happy weekend!

Here are a couple of layouts I made with this kit for inspiration:

Andrea is going to be tickled pink when she sees herself with wings again. She is really convinced she's a fairy lately.

I'm not sure if you've noticed but most of the photos I use in my layouts are actually off-takes. Those unexpected shots usually look more natural and you catch the subjects in poses or positions you normally don't see in posed photos. The photo above is one such example. I didn't even know I had that photo. I was looking for pictures to use and I opened one folder dated last year and it looked like my husband was practicing with the camera settings using Andrea as a subject while she was playing on the floor looking dishelved. The set had a lot of photos of Andrea at play and I think those will be perfect when I create scenes in layouts. Lesson learned: you find artistic inspiration even in the most unexpected scenarios.

Here are a couple of layouts I made with this kit:

That's my niece, Helaena when she was only a few months old. She's turning 4 in a few months and she really is so serious at times, you forget she's a toddler.

And this is my little girl, Andrea when she was also just a few months old. Even back then, she had the makings of a diva :)

Precious Dreams kit by Scrapbrat Designs

I just joined the Creative Team (CT) of Scrapbrat Designs! When I first started noticing designers' CTs, I was in awe of their layouts and wondered how to join one. But as a beginner, I didn't feel confident about trying out for any CTs when I see CT calls on forums. I still can't believe I now belong to CTs of 2 amazing designers!

Anyway, Scrapbrat Designs released a new kit last week, Precious Dreams.

I love the soft colors and elegant elements of this kit. It's perfect for scrapping wedding photos and can also be used for other scrapping projects. 

Here are my layouts for this kit:

Girls Forever

That's me and my girl friends while we were getting ready for my wedding. This is one of our last moments as "Single Ladies". I got married a few hours later, and they all got married a few months after I did. And we all lived happily ever after.  

Here is another one:

Precious Dreams

This is my niece on the day of my wedding. She's one of our Flower Girls, and she was a few months shy of 2-years-old at the time... but bravely walked the aisle by herself and scattered flowers just like her mommy taught her (I saw them practicing a few minutes before). I love this kid! :)

Have you visited me on Facebook yet? I just realized that my blog anniversary is coming up this April. My blog will be 4 years old! And it has gone through several "image" make-overs since then... from being a personal blog, to being a paper craft-sewing-crafting-crochet blog and now to being a digital scrapbooking blog as well. To celebrate, and to promote my Facebook page, I plan to host a few giveaways, some of which will be available exclusively to my Facebook followers. So when you visit me on Facebook, please don't forget to click 'Like' :) I promise, I don't spam.
