New Kit from Digital Compilations by Cinda ~ Free to Be Me!!

I'm just loving this new and beautiful Free to Be Me kit from Cinda (Digital Compilations by Cinda)!  Here's the layout I did with it ~

Here's the full kit!

Cinda sells the kit at Divine Digital or at Faith Sisters.  Be sure to stop by and check it out.

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm so behind on posting!

I've done quite a few pages over the past 2 weeks and just have not gotten on here to post! So, first I'll post my pics from the Statue of Liberty. I used This City kit from Digital Compilations by Cinda.

Love it ~ just perfect for my pics!

Sydney and I were driving to my sister's a few weeks ago (about an hour drive) and she was going through my CDs. Somehow the conversation got back to a song I listened to all the time when I was pregnant with her and she was little. It is Tell Me Why by Pat Benatar from the For Our Children cd. Also, recently I've been scanning in a lot of older photos. So, since I had some photos of Sydney when she was little and I decided I needed to do a page for her. The papers and embellishments are from the Fo Shizzle Kit by Just Jaimee. I was also happy that it was selected on a "Made You Look Monday" picture on Faith Sisters!

Then, since I did a page for Syd, I did one for Mitchell too! Papers and embellishments from

Roy Boy kit by Royanna Fritschmann. I still have to do a page of the song I listened to when I was pregnant with him... I'll ge there.

Thanks for stopping by!

Family Playdate and Beach Pages

Previously I posted about the great pics that my sister Katie took for me and the family (they are in the header of my blog too), at the playground. I finished some cute layouts with them. I did a few because some are for my books and some are for the kids books.

I think this one is my favorite. I don't normally work with black and white, but I love how this turned out. Papers and embellishments from Shabby Princess. Stitching brush from Obsidian Dawn. LO from sketch by Cherie Averill at Sassy Lil Sketches.

I love how simple this one is and of course I love the pic of Syd and I.

Circles brushes from Obsidian Dawn.

I'm so happy with how this Old Orchard Beach, Maine page turned out! The ferris wheel picture has no editing ~ it is exactly how I took it at sunset. I color matched the brown sunset to create the background layer. Papers and embellishments from Royanna Fritschmann's Wish You Were Here kit.

Thanks for stopping by!

Page just for Syd ~ and I'm a Winner in Sassy Lil' Sketches Blog Hop!!

Okay, 2 posts in one tonight. First and so fun and exciting ~ I was selected as a Grand Prize Winner in Sassy Lil' Sketches Blog Hop from last week!!! If you happen upon my blog, please go check them out! Thanks Sassy ladies Katie & Cherie!

Second, Sydney had really liked the page I did for Mitchell yesterday, she asked me to do one "just like it" for her. As with most scrappers, I don't normally do one page just like another, but I did this just for Syd! I just changed up the papers and embellishments, but the format was the same. She even gave it her stamp of approval.

This is from the same kit I used yesterday from the August DAD designed by Girlboheme Studios by Aimee Harrison, Dora's Lemon Love Creations and Caged Bird Designs.

On a roll

I'm still creating digi pages this week!!! It's been nice to get some pages done over the summer. I used another sketch from Sassy Lil' Sketches ~ just love 'em! There was a new sketch posted on Aug 28. This is it ~

and this is what I came up with ~

All papers and embellishments are from the Hello Blue Skies kit from Laura Ping. I picked up the kit at Polka Dot Potato (thanks Kate for sending me the links to this!), which is wonderful, but won't be selling digital kits after 8/30. They are having a huge sale, so go get what you want before they're gone.

New Digital Pages

So happy to get some pages done in the summer time!

Papers are from Divine Digital, Divine Team, Let's Go Fly a Kite kit.
