Ladybugs and Lace: More layouts

Wow, I am neglectful! My P365 blog is being ignored as well. I will hopefully get both updated today. I also need to put my recent crafty projects on my craft blog. So much fun has been happening in the crafty dept!

Here are my most recent CT layouts. I am loving being on the Scrapping Artistry Creative Team. It's tons of fun!!!

The first two are made using the Sk8r Punx kit by Missy's Bits. I saw this kit and immediately thought of the awesome pics that Kerry took of Bryce on his skateboard last summer. She graciously let me use them (and Afton gave her ok as well). I even got a special mention for this layout at www.scrappingartistry.com. Thanks Bryce, Kerry and Afton for being so awesome!!!

For each kit I get, I am required to make at least 2 layouts using it to post in several online galleries in order to promote the designer's product. I really struggled with an idea for my second layout, especially after the first one came so easily. I found this pic of Jake from when we were on the jet boats on the Rogue River. The colors worked with the kit, so I went for it. He was in the middle of freaking out because we were trying to put a life jacket on him. Everyone else on the boat (like 20 people) already had theirs on and were sitting there, waiting until we got one on Jake so we could continue our ride. It was so embarrassing and humiliating to have an ornery two year old fighting and refusing to put on the life jacket. We finally got it on him, but not before I got this picture of him. Looking at that sweet face, you'd never know what a stink he was being!

This next kit will be available near the end of the month for sale. It's being used as a "download a day" right now at 3 scrapateers. I love everything in it! It's a collab between Missy's Bits and Sugar Moon Designs (together, they are Scrapping Artistry). It's called "Shamrocks and Sunshine."
*ETA* You can buy it at MyMemories now!

Again, I struggled A LOT with the second layout. I am not happy with this one at all, and I hope to get back to it eventually and redo it.

I have been dying to get this next kit since I first saw it. It is called Mint Plum and it's by Missy's Bits. I knew this picture would be perfect with the colors!

This page actually turned out similar to what I was hoping. I've never done the picture as a blended background before, and have always wanted to try it out. I finally decided to be brave, and I am pretty happy with the reults. My sweet Rachie!!
