Studio Calico's new kit - Back 40 - is now available!!! :) yay.
missed out on the reveal last night (i passed out way before midnight after my crazy sleep deprived week) - but i did just enjoy a leisurely stroll through the designer gallery this morning...
here are my pages...!
...Noah at 2 months - which uses some of the Open Pasture patterned papers & brads, and was inspired by the CK september cover layout (each designer did a gallery page inspired by the cover!). after another ck assignment page that i did this week (that you'll see next spring) and this page, i'm now completely 'up to date' (hehe) on noah's every month book. yay.
...quick pics - used the chipboard in the Free Range add on to frame little cutie pics of noah for this page.
...sweet boy - one of my hold the camera out and take a pic! pics. ;) that smile stamp is also in Free Range, and this is where i used the teal paint and glossy medium to top my maya road chip frame!
...THR33 - i looooved this basic grey alpha in the Free Range Addon, but had already used up all my "R's" and "E's" by the time i got to this layout, so my "R" here is really a P + I and I thought that the 3's worked nicely as a play on the E's! ;) Don't you just love the SC Paper this month, too!? it's already sold out - but you can still snag a More Patterned Paper and get some extra SC Paper in it! (i like the patterned paper in the main kit so much, that i did this!).
...Your 2nd Year - A page in review for Evan's book that i kinda love more than a friend. (hehe - that is what eric and i say when we REALLY like something!). as in i want to do this for each of the boy's years. we'll see. ;)
ETA: All photos are sized to 1.5x2 inches. You can view my tutorial HERE on my process for resizing photos and adding a white border in PS Elements. HTH! :)
so those were my five. :) i love that being a part of the Studio Calico team is adding so many just for me pages to my scrapbooks!
:)
Lovely layouts!!!!!

I'd love to hear more on how you created Evan's 2nd Year Remembered page. I'd love to scraplift it... if I have the skills.

Love your layouts this month! I'd really love to hear more about how you did the "Your 2nd Year Remembered" layout. What size are your photos? Did you arrange them on sheets in your photo editing software?
Thanks!

great pages! And I love, love, love that second year page. I am going to have to do that one myself!
Posted by: allison | August 30, 2010 at 08:50 AM
That last one is better than great. Did you print out all those mini photos w. the borders?
Posted by: Tracy | August 31, 2010 at 08:28 PM
LOVE your pages and pix! Seeing pix of your new baby is making me get the itch for another. hahah
K, so regarding the last blog post, try removing dairy/dairy products from your diet to see if that helps Noah. It TOTALLY helped my son. (Or maybe it's that diet coke?!)
How far apart are your kids in age? Do you love it or if you had to redo, would you do closer or further?

I have to say your layouts are just adorable and get better each time!!!! I can't get enough of your creations. Yes, I definitely scraplift your pages, who wouldn't!!! Thank you for your posts, instructions and awe-inspiring work!!!! You're the best!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!this is it - I've been trying to figure out how to put together my son's baby pics he is 1 (but he is also child #3) and I just don't have all the time I used to
thanks for such a wonderful idea - If nothing else I can get this done and feel less guilt.....
thank you, thank you
