{a week of spring: day three: spring is in the air…}

So for today I have another digi lay­out for spring,

As seen in the March/April 2011 issue of Cre­at­ing Keep­sakes.  Copy­right Cre­ative Crafts Group.  Posted with prior per­mis­sion from the publisher.
 

This one is a two pager too, and a big thank you for all the  sweet com­ments you guys left about my ear­lier two pagers :) I am a lit­tle short­handed at home right now, but will def­i­nitely be get­ting back to all of you soon!

This page gave me a whole lot of trou­ble.  I lit­er­ally sat at my comp for ages, mov­ing things around and at the end was not really inter­ested to fin­ish the lay­out. It started as a one pager,

but I didn’t really like the title too much– (though I did like the square con­fetti I have cre­ated. I should try that again!)

So I worked onto ver­sion 2,

But that was too blah. I finally ended up mak­ing it a dou­ble page lay­out. Lots of yel­lows and greens, and that works well for spring layouts!

{a week of spring: day three: enjoying spring…}

Hi every­one! It’s day three of spring projects, and am back with another scrap­book­ing lay­out, this one titled “Enjoy­ing Spring”

(click on image to see enlarged version)

This lay­out I pulled out from my old files, it is one of the lay­outs I made in my early dig­i­tal scrap­book­ing days. I love how sim­ple and clean it looks still.  And that lit­tle girl there, thats my first born and this lay­out just reminds me why I scrap­book. To keep the mem­o­ries fresh, thats why :)

And while I was in there, dig­ging through my old files, I found an even older lay­out, com­pletely not related to spring, that made me just go awwwwwwwww.…

I swear, I can­not believe how fast time has flown by! I am kinda trans­fixed to this screen right now, just star­ing at how lit­tle my girl looks… I think its time to pull out my scrap­book and go down mem­ory lane tonight…

{project life 2012: march}

April 10, 2012
PL_march_Web

Hello Every­one! Hello fel­low Project lifers!

Am back today, with my dou­ble page spread for the month of March.

As many of you know, this year I am doing Project life dig­i­tally. And monthly instead of weekly (you can read more about that in my first PLpost here)

I was way ahead of sched­ule ear­lier– both for jan­u­ary and feb­ru­ary, but march was busy. I am still on track though but I can feel that creepy feel­ing that I will be lag­ging soon… But thats ok,  coz it felt SO good do make this layout!

This lay­out came together really quickly: In less than an hour. For two sim­ple rea­sons: One, I knew that I wanted to blow up that pic­ture on the right side of the page. Sec­ond, I decided to use the rest of the space to form a 3 by 4 inch grid. After that, things fell into place quick.

I also love the white space that the “quote cards” pro­vide here. I was a lit­tle bummed that I had’nt got to play with my recent weekly free­bies, and I guess I used a lot of them on this one :)

Sup­plies for this lay­out: I used a cou­ple of Quote cards from my “spring series” also a 3 from the “water­color” series. I also used some of the “a lit­tle bird told me”  jour­nal­ing cards by Splen­did Fiins (which will be avail­able at www.jessicasprague.com soon)

For this page, I used ‘the every­day amaz­ing’ card from the “every­day series” and one large photo– 8 by 12 inches. That photo my hus­band took is so totally awe­some, worth every penny he paid for his new cam­era ;)

I am also join­ing in on the Project life Tues­day at The Mom Cre­ative! I love the energy they have here and I also love that it gives me a dead­line. Since  my Project life is going to be monthly, I will be post­ing on the sec­ond Tues­day each month…

{photo inspiration: “play”}

This weeks Fri­day Free­bie is going to come on Sat­ur­day. Hopefully.

For the photo fri­day chal­lenge {play} @Thes­im­plethings blog,

When I read this weeks prompt :play:, this layout/photo came to mind. And stayed in my mind for the whole evening, so I dug it out and decided to blog about it. This isnt a new lay­out, its one I made last sum­mer but this is what “play” is for my lit­tle girl. The swings.

Inci­dently, this lay­out appeared in this pre­vi­ous issue of Scrap­books etc, and I totally for­got to share it on my blog :)

While on the topic of Scrap­books etc, they have two of my cards up on their blog here and here!

{daily dozen: 12 on 12}

Twelve pho­tos from one day. I knew Mon­day was super busy here, so I doc­u­mented my pho­tos on Sun­day itself. The week­ends are more fun any­how. I love love loved the film look that Carly gave all her pho­tos (see them here on her blog The sim­ple things), aren’t they amazing?

How to add film grain — that’s  going to be my fun learn­ing project for this week­end! But for today’s 12 pho­tos, I wanted to try some­thing quick — so I made them look like posters… which lead to a 5 phone call, 30 minute dis­cus­sion about dig­i­tal pos­ter­iz­ing with the hus­band, coz I liked these pho­tos, but he wasn’t a big fan :D

The morn­ing starts with me bak­ing choco­late chip cook­ies– using wheat flour and oats. yumm and health­ier too…

learn­ing to type/spell her name…

the great weather took us outdoors, 

walk around the lake, first beau­ti­ful day of spring, the whole town was out for a walk…

baby stayed cozy and happy in her stroller…

a loooooong pit­stop at the park, swing swing swing, wheeeeeeeeee!

back home, some quiet time with crayons…

sneak behind mom to play with her cell phone…

cook­ing dinner…brussel sprouts with peppers…

lit­tle fin­gers eat­ing chee­rio…

bed­time story with dada…

(my pho­tos for the 10 on 10{march} at thes­im­plethings blog and 12 on 12 at dear lizzy’s blog and the take twelve at ella’s pub­lish­ing, Whew!)

Busy day out here, with me pick­ing things off the floor and clean­ing tables and try­ing to make the house look less lived in. How has your day been?

  • Wel­come to my blog! Here I share every­thing that is color, crafty and cre­ative in my life. A happy mix­ture of scrap­book­ing, pho­tog­ra­phy, pho­to­shop­ping, sewing, paint­ing and two lit­tle girls.
