Weddings

I think my husband and I started our family late... and by late I mean that most of our friends and cousins are already married by the time we had Andrea. And I care about this because that means that Andrea's chances of joining a wedding entourage as a flower are limited.

Stage mother much :)

At 3 years old, I think we haven't done so badly. She's been invited to join the wedding entourage for 3 weddings, the latest being last December for my cousin's wedding. The best thing about this wedding? The motif was PINK!

Elements from Purity by Valentina's Creations; Template by Seatrout Scraps

The first wedding's motif was purple, and the second was red. This time, it was pink... and that made 2 little girls happy.

I made this layout for Scrabookbytes's Template Challenge for March 2013.

Stamped!

Elements from Zest kit by Mandy King, Template by Dagi's Temp-tations

This photo was taken a few months ago. The little girls created a fort using some chairs and pillows and while playing, bumped their foreheads together. They stared at each other, surprised, for what seemed like a long time and I knew I had to do something because once one of them started bawling, the other is sure to follow suit. I grabbed a stamp set that was lying on the table and stamped each girl on her forehead and declared that a "No-Ouchie" zone. They looked at each other again and started laughing. Situation averted!

I used Mandy King's new kit, Zest, and a template from Dagi's Temp-tations new template set, Color Me Pretty - Set 5.

Color Me Crisp and Clean by Dagi's Temp-tations

Scrap multiple photos easily with this new set of templates by Dagi's Temp-tations.

Elements from Simply Timeless kit by Simple Girl Scraps

 

Last Valentine's Day, Andrea came home with a rose and a little bear. A little boy from school gave it to her. The concept was entirely new to her and she kept asking me why the flower was wrapped in plastic and what it was for.

Here's another layout:

Elements from Our Story kit by Simple Girl Scraps

Andrea's school is celebrating their 10th anniversary this year and they held a school fair 2 weeks ago to celebrate. Andrea and Helaena had fun at the different booths and they both came home with new pets (i.e. fish).

Template Fun

Since Scrappity-Doo-Dah closed, I've been lurking at different forums, trying to find a new digital scrapbooking home where the challenge style fits my interest. One of the designers I CT for has a store at Scraptakeout so I try to join some of the challenges there.

Their style is a bit different. They give you points for all layouts you scrap that use a certain percentage of their products. They also have a couple of challenges but they are hosted on their blog, not on their forum. I tried to participate in their Template Fun challenge this month and made this layout:

I used Mandy King's Bring It On bundle for this layout:

The photo was taken from our trip to the Durian Garden at South Cotabato last December. I was about to upload my layout when I checked the rules again and ooops! I was supposed to use 75% Scraptakeout products to qualify for the challenge points. So I made another one:
