Toss The Dice

I've been sitting on this layout for a few days. The kit was finally released today, so I can share my layout. The kit was so much fun and I wished I had better pictures that fit with it, but when I saw the kit I immediately thought of a couple pictures I could use that would sort of work.

I present to you, TOSS THE DICE...

Best thing about this new release is that if you buy the kit from now until the 26th, you can get the template pack (which I also used) for 1/2 off!!! See links below to get to kit and template.

Wedding Bells

Remember this project?

Well I revisited it and revamped it for a wedding gift.

My cousin got married last Friday and I wanted to give her something with meaning. Giving wedding gifts is something I really hate to do.

So thinking about what I wanted to do I decided to combine two projects into one. It was crazy and I'm not positive I LOVE how it turned out, but I do like it.

This was the completed project:


Then I found this awesome frame to put it in and the completed project looked like this:

I think that the frame may be a bit too busy thinking about it now, but I still think the message will get through. At least I hope it will!

I do have to say that I got the template here. Without her, this project would've taken 10x as long!

Last Christmas...

I've been neglecting this blog for awhile...I've done quite a bit of digital scrapbooking lately for different projects, but I forget to post about them. I'll try to work on it.

As for tonight I am realizing I never posted about the Christmas gifts we gave to our siblings this past year....

My little sister hasn't mastered the art that is digital scrapbooking/crafting/whatever yet, so she asked me to make this for her friends Christmas gift. I obliged cause I'm that AWESOME of a sister and then I got to thinking. (A dangerous pasttime, I know) I decided I could do something a little different.

I decided we would find a song that closely represented our feelings for the certain sibling or something we wanted them to know. This was a challenge, but my dear hubby even helped me out with some of the song choices. What can I say? He loves me.

So, I got to work making the overlay outline. Then I had to type each song and get it to fit. Sometimes that was a challenge. Then we printed it off and I had repainted 'cheap' picture frames (Hey, we were talking like 10 frames here - I come from a large family) to match a color in the picture.

I didn't take step by step pics, but I will share the completed pictures and then a picture of them all in the frames. This gift was much better received than I ever imagined!!!

To see the pictures bigger, you can just click on them and they will open up bigger! ;)
