My "BIG" Tree Hugger

Here's the LO I did today. As soon as I saw this kit I knew exactly what pictures I was going to scrap with it. Check out my adorable little Tree Hugger! She is getting so BIG!

Journaling: One morning when I dropped you off for school you asked me "Mommy I give tree a hug"? I told you to go for it and you did. This picture was not from that day but the last time you gave that tree a hug during the last week that your school closed.

Kit is Tree Climber by Danielle Corbitt (coming soon to digitalcandy.ca). Date stamp is by Brit-ish Designs. Template is from Aggie Aviso Journaling is Scribble.

TOOTING MY OWN HORN: I just got notice that one of my pages will be featured as part of the Down Load A Day blog post on June 28th at http://digital-scrapbooking.org/main/

Say Cheese LO

Another new LO from tonight :) I've been playing over at http://www.digitalcandy.ca and got some RAKs (Random act of kindness) items. I made this LO using a quickpage and alphas from a grab bag from Becky Wallace.

BTW for anyone that was still waiting on "my news" it was a possible job change and didn't work out, I'm okay with it though. I'm sure God has a plan and I'll just wait around and see what it is.

New LOs

Journaling: We met another couple at McClay Gardens and took some shots. We ended up with a few good ones but it got dark quick so we ran into lighting issues.

I used Chirpie Love and Pretty Pins 2 for this LO. The template is my template #5 and can be downloaded below. I made the paper using a filter in PSE. I'm not thrilled with this LO but hopefully it will grow on me. The lighting was terrible on the day we took the pictures and they aren't the best but they still hold a memory that I wanted to capture. I just love these pins and the little chicks are adorable!

Temp by Ferg Designs Kit by Franziska Attmann

I love this new LO. Template by Aggie Aviso. I can't find the kit but will try to update when I do. It's a neat one.

Kit is Sunday Morning by Ellie Lash Designs. Temp is by someone else but I think I deleted it already :(

Kit is from Digitreats add ons (some old one). The word art is from Elegant Word Art 2

Tomorrow is house cleaning day...What Fun! I really need a good house cleaning service.

New Daycare Update & a New Template

Kirsten is loving her new daycare. She had no problems at all staying on the 1st day and told us bye and then went about eating her breakfast and check the surroundings out. She has been so perky when I pick her up each day too and yesterday she wanted to give all the teachers that were sill there "big hugs" before she left. Today one of the teachers asked me if she is potty trained yet. I of course responded "no" but we are really working on it. She then told me Kirsten has been keeping her pull ups dry at school and telling them when she needs to go potty. So we had a little talk on the way home and it didn't work because she refused to go potty before or after dinner and of course wet her pull ups. Hopefully with them working with her at school and us at home she is will staying dry at home more too!

Here's a new template, click to download:
