Abigail in the Duck Blanket

Here's the same layout, but with Abigail instead. I figured it would be fun to see how similar they look.

Bryant in the Duck Blanket

We took a picture just like this of Abigail. It is one of my favorites. So I figured I'd better do the same with Bryant.

Cute Girl

I just took this picture today. Sometimes you take a picture that just needs to be shown, if for nothing else than you have a cute kid. I can't believe how grown up she looks. And oh so cute with the ribbon head band. I love it.

Bryant Smiling

This picture was taken yesterday. I just love his little smile!

Baby Buc

I just thought this would be really cute to do for Kari. Granted Baby Buc hasn't come yet, and probably won't for another month, I thought it would be fun to make an announcement when I saw the skeleton border. For those of you who don't know, Kari and Steve love most things Pirate. And it looked like skulls and crossbones to me. So, welcome to the world (soon) Baby Buc.
P.S. To Kari: If you really want to use this for an announcement, you are more than welcome to, I can send you the PSD file so you can edit the text as needed.

Abigail's Second Birthday

On this one, I created the middle paper, the purplish pink one, myself. The texture didn't show up very well though. I also added some shadows to everything, for depth, it looked a little flat. Then did the embossing on the text. I really like the look of the embossing. And the purple polka dots was originally yellow. I've been having fun with color. I need to get better with textures for the papers though. And then figure out how make embellishments that look realistic. I made some paper leaves today. I'll make a page soon that uses them.

Bryant's Blessing

I didn't really do much with this one. Played around with some effects. Need to figure out how to do the shadows better. And I really wish Photoshop would show me what the fonts look like the way that Word does. Right now I have to select the font to see how it will look. I wish the font name was written in the style of the font. I hope that makes sense. Oh yeah, I made the tage myself. Next time I think I will play around with texture more though, so it looks better. But I think it looks okay for a first attempt.

Abigail at the Fair

For this one I played around with color, the only thing that is unchanged from the Shine On Me kit is the yellow brad. I also added an embossing effect on the text and shadows on the flowers and frame. I think it looks pretty good, though I wish there was something I could do to make the brads look better.

Introducing Bryant

I just wish the pictures were better. With this one I played around with changing the colors. The brad holding down the tag was originally yellow, but that didn't match. I'm learning. I just wish I could have matched the color better. I think Ican with more practice, patience, and learning though. Shouldn't be too hard. Just didn't have the time today with the kiddies.

Abigail is my Sunshine

This is my first attempt at the world of digital scrapbooking.
