Belle of the Ball and a Freebie

I got to play with a gorgeous new kit this week, Laurie's Scrap's "Belle of the Ball." I won't lie, I need some little sweet princesses to be able to use some of the cute girly stuff - but there is tons of stuff for us with lots of boys in our lives.

Here is her kit, pick it up on sale this week here.

Here is my layout - showcasing one thing I really love about each of my sons.


Because you know I am a template junkie, I made my layout into a template for you. Click HERE or on the preview to download. {still loving the sweet comments I've been getting - thanks ladies!}

While Beauty Sleeps and a Freebie

I got to play with another great kit by Laurie's Scraps this week, you are going to love it! It's called While Beauty Sleeps and it coordinates perfectly with Laurie's other "princess" kits. But Just because it's a princess kit, doesn't mean you can't use it to scrap pictures of your boys...

Don't forget this kit is on sale this week, so it's a good time to pick it up at one of Laurie's Stores.


I got my inspiration for my layout from an ad again, but this time it was from the Martha Stewart Home magazine. Here's the ad:


And here is the preview of the template I put together for you. Click HERE or on the preview to download. I got the nicest comment on my last template - comments really do make my day - so thank you!

Down by the Seashore and a Freebie

I had so much fun with Laurie's newest kit, Down by the Seashore. I know I have said this before, but this kit is huge! I don't think Laurie knows how to make a small kit...so that's a good thing for us, right? This huge kit is on sale this week - so go grab it.

Here is an adorable layout I put together of all my boys swimming. Make sure you take a close look at the journaling - a great joke we picked up from my cousin 7 or 8 years ago - we can't help but say it anytime we are going swimming. (Go ahead - click on the layout to see it bigger - it's okay, I'll wait.)


You're glad you read the joke, and wondering who you can tell it to, am I right? ;)

Well for my layout, I had a little inspiration from one of my favorite childrens clothing stores. Here's a look at the home page for Crazy 8's - I love grabbing inspiration from anywhere I can.

And because I love to share, here is a template I made from my layout. Click HERE or on the preview to download.
