Layout: What Spring Brings

We've had an early spring this year with the weird weather we had this winter. The 80 degree weather in mid-March had all the early spring flowers blooming. My bleeding hearts are in full bloom right now, oh about a month early!

Artgal Style's latest kit, "What Spring Brings" is the perfect complement for this picture.

Layout: Bee 2000

Doodly Doo is the newest kit by Artgal Style available at PDW. I saw the bee in the kit and just knew what picture I had to scrap!

Artgal Style released a kit called "A Formal Affair" last week at PlainDigitalWrapper. It is basically a black/white kit with hints of color. I found some great black and white pictures to use with it.

Definitely the right kit for this picture!

Layout: Friends

I've been hanging out at Scrap Orchard lately and participating in some of their challenges. A recent challenge was to scrap a Disney tune, either as a title or journaling on the layout. So a little research gave me 2 songs I felt like using, both dealing with friendship. As I put together the layout I knew I wanted to use "You've Got A Friend In Me".

The kit is Artgal Style's "Say It Ain't So" which came out earlier this month. It is available at PDW.

Layout: Feel The Burn

Artgal Style has a new release this week at PDW, "Feel The Burn". I fell in love with it and can see myself using it on layouts for a 5K or 2 I'd like to walk in this year.

Layout: 1956

I absolutely adore this kit! It is Bohemian by Artgal Style and it is available at PlainDigitalWrapper.

I had never seen this picture taken by my grandfather when I was about 9 months old. They had a slide camera so not many photos were shared back then. In the 90's I was given some slides that had me in them. I found this one and had a negative and a photo made. A few years later when I got a scanner, I scanned the picture. I love the picture and now....

my new favorite layout!
