Coming Soon…

| cristina

The PDP girls did it again!! They have a new kit coming soon, and I know you’ll love it! Here’s a little sneak peek:

The colors are super funky and the doodles are super cute!
The kit is a collab with Amy Sumrall and will be in the shops Friday. I’ll be back then to post previews and links to the stores. 🙂
I bet this kit will be perfect to scrap a few pictures I have left from Valentine’s Day! In the meantime, I used another great kit by Amy and Lauren (probably my favorite ever), We Give Thanks, to complete another page about the Valentine’s Day hunt. 🙂

But I have more great news: the template I used for this LO was created by a fellow CT member, Amy, and is avaliable on the CT blog! Go get it right away! 🙂

Cute Bird

I took a few pictures of this cute bird this morning, and I wanted to do a page with it. It was soooo cute! 🙂

So, DH and I went to see Twilight (at the $1 theater!! yaaay!) yesterday night. We’d been putting it off because we were wary.. how could you possibly make a good movie out of such a great book? Well, no big surprise – we weren’t impressed. It did make me want to re-read (again!) the book, though. 🙂
I’m about to upload the next page about our Valentine’s Day hunt. 🙂

Another My Story Matters LO

| cristina

I did another LO for the My Story Matters challenges at ScrapMatters. This time we were to scrap about the origin of our name.

Megan just joined ScrapMatters as a designer and I was RAKed with a gift card by her today to celebrate her new designing spot. I picked up the gorgeous kit I used for this page. 🙂
And that’s it for today! Don’t expect anything tomorrow either, DH and I are going to the cinema! 🙂

Toot!!!

I am really proud to say that the LO I posted yesterday was chosen to be scraplifted for the March ’09 Scraplift Challenge at Snap and Scrap! Go check it out here!

Tonight I scrapped the next piece of the Valentine hunt. I’m not done yet! 🙂 More to come soon.
For this page, I used the same kit I used to decorate the small mailbox (tutorial here), Que Sera Sera by Polka Dot Plum. You can find that great kit at ScrapOrchard and Sunshine Studio Scraps.

Monthiversary #21

| cristina

Thursday DH and I had our little adventure in the city: we took the bus to go to a fancy restaurant, had a lovely dinner with wine pairing, and got a cab to get back home (no drink&drive for us!).

It was a lovely, lovely evening. We took some pictures at the restaurant but since I brought my big camera I didn’t trust to have a picture of us taken (the light was really low – candlelight! – and I was pretty sure nothing good would turn out if we had the picture taken by someone who doesn’t know the camera). So, once we got home and put on our PJs ready to go to bed, we took a few timed shots on the sofa. Here’s one of the cutest.

I used Bree’s latest kit for this, Tropical Daiquiri. That kit is so sweet, it inspires me a lot of romanticism!!

My First Baby Page Ever

| cristina

There’s a new challenge over at ScrapMatters and I love it! It’s called My Story Matters and the first challenge was to scrap about our birth.

So I did my first baby page ever, and was it tough! This is such a special memory and I wanted to make it just right.

Ribbons from On the Bright Side Add On and I’m a Dreamer (recolored), pins from I’m A Dreamer, Funky Stems Brushes, Razzle Dazzle Alpha (recolored) and Oscar Winning Alpha (recolored) by Britt-ish Designs

Paper (recolored) from Serenity Now by Erica Zane

Glitzy Bits (recolored) by Sugarplum Paperie

Vellum from Chloe’s Garden by Ellie Lash

Footprint brush – Shutterbug Designs by Jenny Seiler

I did the shadows by hand because Photoshop Elements wasn’t doing a good job with the preset shadows on such a light colored background paper.
The next challenge is to scrap about the origin of our name.
