Scraplex

So this week, my bootcamp exercise was to incorporate shadowing into my layouts. It was very difficult since I was also learning a new program in the midst and exemplifying classic ADD symptoms that accompany learning something new and exciting. I played a little too much with the photo editing and all the neat, cool stuff I could do and didn't hunker down and get my assignment done until late!!! But... I just made the deadline... so its all gravy baby. I used a couple free kits for this one and used a picture of Rowan from last year... I love these pictures of him... its amazing to see how much of a baby he was just less than a year ago... *sigh*

Look at this amazing new kit created by Moonscraps and Madame wing. I love the playful color pallette and the ample use of whimsical elements perfect for all your girl's night out photos!!


















It's going for a steal at $6.00 here: ­Find it here

So... in bootcamp, we are doing this thing called "white space"... its a tutorial on using white space to draw attention to your subject... here is what I came up with:

I snatched up this free mini kit today (and one day I'll start giving credit when I get more organized!) and had a picture of Juni sucking her thumb from earlier... I thought it was simply adorable... so I went ahead and scrapped it!!! I think that the page turned out cute, even though the elements weren't my favorite. I went ahead and added a few from a couple different sets I had as well... so that kind of beefed it up a little. Eventually I'll stop updating my blog at 1am and actually spend some time typing again. Tomorrow we have the air conditioning repair dudes coming over to completely replace our air condition... I can't wait! It's so friggin hot in here, my digi scrap pages are starting to wilt!!

Today's post is dedicated both to my son and also to my digiscrapping boot camp challenge on the Gingerscraps forum. I created a clustered layout that I call "memories." I wrote the little poem for my son also on the side... melding two talents into one... Looking back over the few years he's been here, it is certainly incredible to see how he's grown. Pretty soon I need to take another beach picture to add to this one... now these shorts he's wearing go a few inches above his knees!!! How amazing!!!

Erin showed me this website for this new child's product called color me table and chairs. I think I might consider doing something like this for Rowan's next birthday party... it looks really cool!
