Sentimental Journey is Here!

Sentimental Journey is a brand new scrap kit created by Manu (Scrapbook Graphics).  The kit is full of gorgeous vintage elements and papers from the 1940's era and is perfect for family photos from long ago.  The first layout, Fashionista, shows a picture of my MIL's mom walking through downtown San Antonio.  Downtown has certainly changed since then! LOL

Even though the kit lends itself to heritage style photos and layouts, it can still be adapted quite easily for modern day photos too.  My second layout shows two of my children in a fantasy scene that uses one of the background papers from the kit.

Be sure to check out this wonderful kit and take a look at the coordinating cluster pack and wordart packs too :)    Here is the link for Manu's store at SBG:  http://shop.scrapbookgraphics.com/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=44

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and will have a safe and happy New Year! 

Snowy Fun

 

Texans don't get a chance to see too much snow... at least not the Texans that live in South Texas so this is most likely going to be as close to snow as my family gets for this season.  LOL

The kits used in this layout can be found at Digidesign Resort and the wordart is a blog freebie from Studio Manu.  Here are the links:

More Christmas Fun!

And yet another Christmas layout... tis the season after all!  LOL

This layout features out kitty, Maya, who died earlier this month.  She had been with us for 14 years and was a wonderful, loving companion whom I miss very much.

The layout was created in CS3 using 'A Christmas Carol Collaboration Kit' by the Digidesign Resort Designers.  It can be found here:  http://www.digidesignresort.com/shop/digidesign-resort-megakits-c-52/digidesignresort-collaboration-kit-a-christmas-carol-p-5039

Christmas Cheer

Just a few days now and Christmas will finally be upon us.  My kids are so excited and somehow my youngest son, who is 8 years old, keeps finding items to add to his Christmas Wish List. LOL

Here are a few Christmas themed layouts to help us all get into the holiday spirit.  The first two layouts (titled 'Merry Christmas' and 'Our Little Miracles') have been created using a bundle of products from Verena Karoli.  These products are also sold separately and can be found at Digidesign Resort.  The third layout (titled 'Openingthe Christmas Presents') uses a wonderful new kit, 'Christmas Dreams' by Carena's Designs and can also be found at Digidesign Resort.
