autumn pics and fun photo site!

Just wanted to chime in here and share some pics. Autumn is my favorite time of the year and with that comes some gorgeous weather during the day, cold nights, and leaves changing color. I was outside with the Aydan the other day so that he could ride his bike.

And within seconds it turned into this...


Notice the rounded corners? I used this free editing program: Picnik. Such a fun site...they even have a poloroid frame! Fun.
My treat bags were made a week ago for Kendall's class. I didn't want to go too crazy with techniques. I just used my SU Top Note Die and added some stamps. Kendall helped me and she had a blast!
A quick card for my future sister in law who unfortunately lost her father. The background was embossed with a clear embossing powder. The sentiment was stamped on a journaling spot from Heidi Swapp.
One more pic of Maui who just celebrated her first bday! I used the Vignette effect on this photo as well. Love it.

Its Been a While

I've been slacking here on my little blog. We were in California a few weeks back. Baseball is taking up a lot of time...just plain enjoying our summer. Oh, and I'm taking Karen Russell's online photography class as well. Today it poured while the sun was very strong, I always run out to find a rainbow when that happens and captured this. If it wasn't for the houses, I would have captured the whole thing.

I have a couple of layouts to share. Both of these were done from a recent magazine sketch (I love the sketch so much that I used it for both).
This is Kendall with one of her BFs Kylie...they've been friends since they were 3 when they went to the same pre-school. She had to leave her when she was in the first grade and she's missed her so much. We set up a playdate and got tons of pics! I made a vow to myself to take a lot of pics of my kids friends, something that I don't have from my childhood. Most everything here is Cosmo Cricket(Delovely), except the cloud paper, which is My Little Shoebox.And finally, I got to scrap Aydan's 4th bday party. He turns 5 next month, then starts Kindergarten. He's my baby ("no, I'm a big boy Mommy") and I'm excited but sad to see him grow up so fast.
The paper is Bo Bunny (green). The red paper, number paper, and candle border sticker are Scenic Route, and the elements (balloon, banner, buttons, and tag) are Making Memories. Aydan is crazy about numbers so that paper fits him well! The "4" was cut with my Slice and the scalloped circle is a Technique Tuesday chipboard tile that I spritzed with Glimmer Mist :)
Hopefully everyone enjoyed their 4th...I'm glad to be off tomorrow. Hopefully I can get scrapping!
