Good Times



Here is a little snippet of a layout done with one of the May kits. This was created by May's guest designer, Nathalie. You'll get to meet her and see more of her work later in the month.

Some more great stuff from Carrie ...

Here are some samples of what Carrie did with the "Garden" Kit. She said that this has been one of her favorite kits to work with so far!

She created this cute birthday card...



She also decided that the product was so cute, it didn't need photos to be complete! Instead, she made 3 journaling pages, all with a "spring" theme. One has jouranling just about spring, one just says "hello spring", and the last is journaling from a specific days thoughts, and has the date. It would be cute to bind all three together, to make a mini book, and add photos to each backside...you could keep adding, and make a cool journal. Also, she wanted to note that she used the pink Prima felt alphabet letters in two of the pages, and just changed the color with an ink pad...cool! Hope you enjoy!

Peekie Time!

For May, we will have TWO kits again!

The first kit will remind you of how sweet life can be:


While this second kit will bring out the wanderer in you:



As for our April kits, we are sold out of "Garden" (Thank you everyone!), but we do have a couple "Home" kits left.


And, if you don't like to see any kit left behind, we have one September 2008 kit, Recess, left.

With the school year winding down, this kit is perfect to remember the year gone by. Help this kit find a good home!

Have a good week everyone!

Use those alphas!

Hello! Happy April!! I hope you are all out enjoying your Monday and soaking up some sun. The weather has been great here in CA the past couple weeks. But we just heard rain is in the forecast tomorrow!! ACK!

I wanted to share with you this layout I made for Joey. We were really concerned with his speech, saying only 2 or so words before he was 2. We even saw a speech therapist for advice. She said not to worry, but gave us some exercises to work on with him. I think it was hard for him since he has 2 VERY chatty siblings and it's just hard for him to get a word in at all. They do not "speak for him", but they just spoke non-stop all day! Esp the she-sibling...LOL!

I used the quote bubbles paper from the February kit. Once I saw the paper, I knew it was perfect for Joey who can now say over 30 words and string together 2-4 words at a time! We are so proud of him. Although it's still hard to understand exactly what he's saying, esp if it's the first time to hear him, but he's getting there!! Oh, and he's another one who is non-stop! All day I hear...Mommy 30thousand times from 3 different voices! It's stressful at times, but I know I should really cherish this time in my life...LOL.

Oh, you must be wondering what "Bao" means..LOL. That is what Joey calls himself! I have no idea where he got it from, maybe because I call him Joey Boy? Either way, it's totally cute. Now we pretty much all call him that! LOL! Silly boy! Thanks so much!!

Sketches and Mini-Books

Did you know that Em makes a sketch for us every month? You can see them all here.

Here is her sketch for April.




Michele make a "green" mini-book with the Prima packaging in the "Garden" Kit.


Isn't that so clever?! You can find instructions on how she made the book in the gallery. Both Michele and Em really rock the recycling, as was shown in the March layouts they did.

I made a little mini-album with the "Home" kit and the Cosmo Cricket Blackboard album. I also used the KI Memories Sheers as the cover and inside dividers. The Blackboard album and sheers are on sale this month also.
