Happy Easter

Yes I know I'm a week late, but hey that's me. Actually I'm here to show you layouts I made with a new kit by Digi-designs by Nicole called Happy Easter. It is a fun kit packed with lots of Easter goodies.

My first layout I did for the scraplift challenge at Stuff to Scrap. I love the bright colors in the kit and all the wonderful flowers.

My second layout features Cole. I caught him biting the ears off the chocolate bunny in his Easter bag. He was just like a little kid, and took great pleasure in biting those ears!!! I used the tape in the kit and there is a great tutorial on Nicole's blog on how make it look really cool.

So head over to Stuff to Scrap and pick up Happy Easter, it will be a great addition to your stash.

Happy Tuesday all, I hope you're having a good week so far. It has been a good week for me, well for Sharla. On Monday the surgeon released her, and only needs to see him on as needed basis. He said her leg was in great shape. Then today her physical therapist told her she would be "graduating" soon. She is walking more and more without her walker. And she is slowly building up her endurance. But that is not what I came here to show you today.

Digi-designs by Nicole has a great new kit called Only You Bundle. It is a wonderful mix of colors, that will work for all kinds of pages. My page is my three sweeties, Tucker, Cooper and Zoey.

Happy Thursday all, a quick post to show you a layout I made with Digi-designs by Nicole's newest template set called Bracket Templates. These fabulous templates help make your layouts unique and different and you can change directions of the templates for even more possibilities.

My layout is of Ms. Callie jumping for Sharla and I as we tested our cameras. She was having fun trying to jump and not cover her face. A little later she thought it would be fun to have Sharla photograph her throwing a ball. The last thing said to her before she threw it was don't hit Sharla, and that is exactly what she did, square in the face. I think Sharla liked the jumping pictures more (hehehe).
