Silly Cross Eyes

From the Blooming Friendship Kit.

Pool Time 2008

This is from Jady Day Studio's Kit called "Love All Year Long". This kit is awesome. The bright colors are very versatile and so many things can be done with it. I barely scratched the surface. Anybody know how to crop using curvy lines? I used the shape cutter tool and a squiggly arrow for the wavy paper under the pictures. But the curve isn't quite what I wanted.

Snow Cave 2009

Abigail and Carl slept in this snow cave on December 30, 2009.

Taggart Lake

These pictures are all from a hike we took in GTNP a few weeks ago. We went to Jackson Hole for the weekend to spend some time with my dad who was working there at the time. My mom came along as a surprise for my dad. They hadn't seen each other for two weeks.

Everything on these pages came from a kit by Jady Day Studio, originally called "My Favorite Things", but which is now called "National Park Fun" (or something like that), available for purchase from http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18499&cat=0&page=2

P.S. Does anybody know how to put a link on here? I tried and it didn't work. What I want is for the blog to say "Scrap Orchard" with those words as a clickable link.

Jady Day Studio Totally Loving You Challenge-Sisters

It's been so long since Heather's wedding, I had totally forgotten that I didn't take any pictures there. So I pulled this one off of Facebook. Not my finest looking picture, since I was goofing off with my belly, but I really does bring out how I tend to be goofy with my sisters. Even though I look ridiculous, I still love this picture.

Jady Day Totally Loving You Challenge-Bryant

This one is of Bryant, obviously. I also used his birthday pictures for this one, which worked out really well, since he was wearing blue and brown, with a hint of green in his shorts. The colors matched the kit pretty well. I only had to deepen the blue felt strip to match his clothes better. I really love how this one turned out, with the classic look to it. It reminds me of formal dining rooms, where the color below the chair rail is often different than the color above, while still coordinating with each other. You usually don't see buttons in place of a chair rail though, but still, that was my inspiration for the design.

Jady Day Studio Totally Loving You Challenge-Abigail

I made this layout for a contest from Jady Day Studio. All the elements and papers come from a kit called "Totally Loving You". Not necessarily my favorite colors (okay, not by a long shot), but they ended up working great for these pictures of Abigail. I did tweak some of the colors of things so they would work better for me. I'm not an expert at color changes yet, but I'm sure working on it. I hope you like it!
