Just wanted to share...my youngest daughter's editing skills!











The latest...

Here's some of my latest pages, all for challenges, thanks so much for looking!





Sorry I have been Mia!

Hello everyone...I have not been here in awhile..I seemed to have lost my mojo! Its driving me crazy!!!! I keep trying to do a page, and every time I do...nothing comes together! I need a crop to get me motivated again...lol They seem to do it for me! Anyways, Im working tomorrow and Im hoping when I get home I can get the mojo going again...we will see what happens.
There are a couple things I have done that I will upload.
I just have been working on a new computer, and I hate it!!! I want my old one back...our power went out and it seemed to have fried my computer...I lost so much, about 1000 pictures. I started to put them on cd's, but only got half way done =( This computer is so much different, all the programs are different, so thats another thing Ive been doing....navigating!!! Not fun!!! Probably why I lost my mojo....ya think? =S Anywhooo enough rambling, just thought Id let you know Im still here...lol Be back with some pages soon hopefully!! Take care everyone, have a great night! ~Kelly~

Escape

Hi everyone, the weekend is upon us once again, I hope you all have a great one!
This is a layout i did from the sketch over at 52 sketches in 52 weeks, I just cant get enough of those sketches...they are so cool! I punched out all the squares and adhered them around the border. Cut out the 4 strips behind the pic, and doodled in black around them. I cut a circle out of my son's old jeans, then layered it for the flower. Used fiskars edge scissors around the black mat, added a journalling tag and wrapped the pic with ribbon. Tfl

Those eyes


This is my youngest daughter, and her editing techniques using picnik. I asked her to use the same pic and do a different eye colour for each one...and voila, my little photo editing assistant came through with flying colours!!!! This is also for the 52 sketches weekly challenge, LOVE those sketches each week, they inspire me soo much! tfl

New stamp for me


This is a new stamp I won from scrappinggreatdeals...and you all know I LOVE butterflies! They have some awesome deals on this site, you should check it out! I added some ink around the edges, stickles, which you cant really see in this pic..but it sparkles so much IRL...tfl

Merry christmas card


Lol...I didn't mean to scare you...with a christmas card...lol I have already started mine, since i have about 50-60 to make, I figured the earlier the better!!! I just make a bunch of different ones, no two are alike!, that to me would drive me crazy, doing 50 or 60 of the same card...tfl

F is for Friends Card

This is for a challenge, we had to use chipboard. Everything is chipboard on this card except the ribbon, of course! and the one strip of patterned paper under the ribbon, tfl!

Sisters


Hi friends, this layout I did for the friday sketch challenge over at scrapbooking & crafting friends. We could either do a layout or a card, since I did a card last time I decided to do a page this week. Papers are K & Company brown paper pack, the small alphas are chloe's closet. I distressed the edges added ribbon and made the photo corners, that idea came from Carol(Keeperofmemories), thanks Carol. Quote reads, 'may your paths always lead back to each other.' This is a pic of my 2 daughters...tfl!
