Upon our exploration of our property, we found these really cool twisted branches. At first we thought it was a rope but upon closer inspection we realized it was actually a twisted bunch of branches. Looks pretty cool.

I just LOVE those flowers, they are even more amazing up close!

It’s a perfect kit that can be used on both sides of the spectrum. Best yet you get all this for only $5.00!!! Now take a look at the super cool templates of her’s I used as well!

They are must haves for some beautiful inspiration!

Here are my two layouts I created using both the kit and the templates from Digi Diva Designs:

New CT Layouts for Kjoi Studios!

Leah — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 22:00:26 +0000

After being away for a long time I have gotten back into the game slowly and chose a totally new rocking kit to do my CT work with for the month of March. You have GOT to check it out, it’s amazing for any type of photo. Take a look!

Blues, greens, and oranges… this is a fun fun kit for “boys” or guys that act like “boys”, but still not so boyish that if you have a little “tom-gurl” in your life that you can’t use it. This huge kit is wonderfully grungy and has soo much stuff you’ll be able to scrap multiple LO’s. See below for more previews of this kit.

Kit contains: 12 papers, an alpha in a single .png file, bookplate, 2 ribbon buckles, 3 buttons, 2 flowers, single frame, cluster frame, jean strap, overall strap, shoe laces, 2 different stars, stitched journaling circle, 3 sets of messy stitching, 5 dyno-tape label word arts, 2 ripped papers, 2 ripped hearts, 2 messy ribbons, and one stitched zipper.

It’s fabulous isn’t it? Look at all you get and for only $6! Just look at the two layouts I came up with for them:

Rough Stuff

Journaling:
Wesley decided he could use daddy’s big tools to work on his ‘car’. It was terribly cute seeing him lug around tools as big and heavy as himself but I was afraid he would drop one on his toe or his daddy’s head and hurt something. He’s such a boy now. It amazes me everyday to see all the new and creative things he comes up with.

Hungry Tortoise

This was from Boo at the Zoo last year here in North Carolina. Was my son’s first time there and he was fasinated with this tortoise.

Quick Update

Leah — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 05:30:28 +0000

Sorry it’s been so long. I just recently got back from a 3 month long vacation to Missouri with my family. I needed some time to visit with my family whom I hadn’t seen in awhile and they truly LOVED the time with my son. Which he turned 2 while we were out there! He is growing so fast! It is so amazing how different he is now than he was 2 months ago. Anyhow, I took LOADS of photos and hope to get those scrapped in the near future. I haven’t actually touched Photoshop in so long I am not sure if I will remember what to do Sadly, I think it will be best if I step down from a few of my Creative Teams and my Design Team as well. They are all lovely positions and I truly love the people but am just not able to keep up that rigorous of a schedule on the computer anymore. I have a new respect for designers after I tried to do it professionally and couldn’t keep up with it. I hope one day that will change but I think for now, the best decision for my family and myself is if I slow my pace down and balance my life more evenly. This will not effect my giving out freebies and participating in challenges here and there. I will also keep on at least 2 of my CT’s for now and go with the flow I hope you all have been well and I will be getting a new freebie up for you sometime this week. Take care and see you all later

Just how close can you get to a Beaver?

I kept seeing this in my backyard and had no clue what it was. I still think it’s a beaver though. Cody went out to take a photo of it and kept taking a photo closer and close to see how close he could get. We were amazed that he got as close as he did in these two photos before it ran off. Was pretty neat to see it this close-up. Beaver or not, ha!

This is my son ‘helping’ mommy plant some mums in her small garden out front this month. He has this obsession with pulling his arm out of his shirt and pulling his shirt up but only on one arm. I call him ‘Spartacus’ when he does this as it sort of looks like he is wearing a toga So he was my ‘Gardening Spartacus’ I scraplifted smanda’s ‘cousins’ layout seen here:

It was just so fun and fresh I knew I had to scraplift it! Thanks smanda!

Racetrack

September 2007

My son was extremely unhappy about being in Ohio this past September. It was ALOT colder than when we left home the day before and it was really early in the morning. So I decided to let him have this really annoying toy I bought him awhile ago without thinking. Anyhow, So after seeing how grumpy he was, I gave it to him and it seemed to make him happy for a bit as you can see, then he tried to eat it so I took it away and back to grumpy we were.
