Jan Bolton’s Designs

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Here is what I have been working on recently from Jan Bolton Designs over at scrapdish.
First here is Jan’s beautiful kit called ‘Gently Washed’.

It is designed beautifully in soft green and yellow fabrics and really is just perfect for about any kind of layout. I highly recommend this kit for everyday layouts. Here is what all you get in this kit:

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!

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.

Monday, October 1st, 2007

It is October 1st. I have finally ‘almost’ caught back up. I had a HUGE system crash and lost alot of my scrapping files including most of the Pretty in Pink kit I was creating. I have made alot more things and tried to catch up so I can post all the links for you all. I was so heart broken when it happened and ashamed that I couldn’t get the kit out to you all sooner, didn’t wanna post until I had it all back up and ready but everything has happened so fast! I was asked to be on two CT teams, one for Kara Jones at K-Joi Studios and one for Karla Marano at KKD. Those two right there have taken up alot of my time but I am getting into the swing of things now and getting ALOT more free time. So I now have up to the 24th installment of Pretty in Pink up and ready for you all and should have the rest done by the end of this week as well. Again, I am truly sorry for not being able to deliver this when I said I would, but if my pc would cooperate with me, this wouldn’t be a problem.. Thank you again for sticking with me! I hope you have enjoyed the kit so far and continue to do so with the rest of it as I create it. Take care and Happy Downloading!
