Dance to the Music

Happy Halloween everyone.  I hope you have a not-so-spooky day.  We have our candy purchased, the pumpkins carved, and will just have to wait until it gets dark for the doorbell to ring non-stop for a few hours.
Today I made a fun page with Sugary Fancy’s Music and Love kit.  Do you love music?!  This kit is perfect for you!  It is about music and love in our life!  I hope you get inspired with it!!  It comes with 10 papers and 60 elements.  You also may like Music & Love Add On and Music & Life Alpha!

Here we have Dave and Nicole dancing,  How fun.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great Halloween.

Vrooom!!

The title to the kit says it all Vrooom! Chelle’s Creations kit is perfect for that little speedster in your life. I love the colors, so bright and bold. Notice the word art at the bottom-instant titles for your page-too easy.



Connor is putting together and then smashing his traffic jam puzzle.  No, he is not 6’2”, nor does he weigh 185 pounds.  I guess I will have to measure him before this goes to print.

Thanks for stopping by and have a smashing day.

Chelle’s Creative Team

Last week I was selected to be on Chelle’s Creations creative team. Lucky, lucky me. She makes adorable kits, just perfect for scrapping one’s grandchildren. Chelle designs for Scrap Orchard.  You can find her store here. Check out Chelle’s blog  where you can find all kinds of fun and freebies.
Here is the first kit I chose to work with.  I have a kagillion photos of Alex dancing, so I figured this was a great place to start.  Tutu Cute is too too cute. Check out these wonderful designs.





Alex is practicing one of her dance moves below.

Tomorrow I will be back with Vroom! Thanks for stopping by.

Connor decided the Power Ranger mask was just much cooler than the skeleton mask. He loves to play dress up and was in top form to battle the giant spider that crept his way!

Harvest Moon Halloween by Samantha Walker 2 spooky embellishments and 4 swirly frames perfect for Halloween. There are faux chipboard words, and lots of spooky Halloween icons. This kit is sure to be a hit with your little goblins.  It coordinates with her Harvest Moon series.

Super Power: Melts Hearts

I saw the little journaling block for the All American Super Hero  kit by Plum Dumpling Designs and just fell in love with it.  Great news-this month the kit is 30% off at ScrapMatters. Our little super hero, Connor has a magnificent power to melt hearts.  Here he is in his look at my muscles mode.

Do you have little (or big!!) heroes running around? Whether they are in costumes, pajamas or dressed as their secret identity, this kit will showcase those super photos! All American Superhero is packed with fun, comic elements and word art to dress up those LOs in true superhero fashion.

I hope you have a super-powered Friday.

1980s Remix

Last April, Krista’s Bunco group had an 80s party and Krista went all out with her garment. She looks so rad, fer shur. She was totally bad!! When Krista showed the page to her family she got responses from different ends of the spectrum.

Martin says: “That’s what you [Krista] get for being so weird!”

Andy says, “That’s what you [Krista] get for being so awesome.”

Who lived in the eighties here?

Spooktacular Invitation

They're creepy and they're kooky, Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky, The Addams Family.
Their house is a museum  Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scream  The Addams Family.
(Neat) (Sweet) (Petite)
So get a witches shawl on   A broomstick you can crawl on
We're gonna pay a call on   The Addams Family

This little song has to be in the top ten TV show tunes. The spooky lyrics and the tune are such a sweet reminder of a fun era of life. For my Jessica Sprague.com layout this week, I made an e-mail invitation for Laurie and Terry for their annual Halloween Spooktacular. I just love the little costumed children-how absolutely sweet!! You can get the Splendid Fiin’s Happy Halloween Patterend Paper pack at 25% off today. It’s just $4.49. Pick it up HERE.

Have a Spooktacular week and Happy Birthday Krista!!!

Kerplunk

Definition:  ker·plunk adverb  
To fall with a sound like that of a little boy falling rapidly into water. The definition is something like that anyway! Connor is having a great time kerplunking into the water going down the slide at the water park.

This fun mini kit, Air Marin, comes from Steph. designs and you can find it at ScrapMatters. This kit is perfect for all those beach shots you took this summer.

Happy Sunday, and thanks for stopping by.

If you give a Girl a Gourd…

….She'll ask for a glass of milk to go with it. And when she sees that you've set up the camera equipment to take pictures, she'll want her picture taken too. Since the gourd is such a new plaything, she will probably touch it. She will probably smell it, and she will even try to eat it. After she gets bored with the gourd, she will want some real food like Oreos. Then she will say “No more pictures?”

For this fun page, I used Fall’s Fanciful Colors by MHK Scrap Bytes and Sketchy Times Alpha by WM Designs Squared, both from ScrapMatters.

The template, Seven Days in May is by In the Making Designs. You can get it at Jessica Sprague.com

There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!
