Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday, we went to Aloun Farms to pick pumpkins.  Instead of spending the day searching for the great pumpkin, we found ourselves entertaining Bostyn with the inflatable slide and kiddie rides.  Don't you just love that little hat?

Last weekend, we went to the Children's Discovery Center.  Bostyn loved it there so we purchased a one year membership pass.  Here is a picture of Bostyn pretending to be an old plantation worker picking pineapples.

Are you ready for some digi scrapping land layouts?

Creations by Tinamarie just released this cutie of a kit, My Little Hunnybun.  Love the colors to this kit and this layout came to me very quickly.  I love how this page turned out.

Karen at DHD is ready for Christmas with this spectacular kit called Christmas Magic.  When I think of Christmas magic, the first thing to come to mind is Bostyn's first Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas kits and DHD, Robyn Meierotto, came out with a super cute kit, Santa Baby.  I love the little penguins in this one.

So DHD's newest designer, Karla Dudley, is such a hoot.  I mentioned to her that I wish I knew how to use more of my digital brushes into my layouts.  She then offered to help me via skype!  How cool is that?!!  So we had a chat earlier in the week and she gave me some tips and advice about incorporating brushes into my layouts.  We chatted for more than an hour, she had so much to share.  So here are two layouts using some her kits and brushes.  (btw, she has more new goodies in the shop that I haven't even had time to play with yet.)

This layout is using only paper and brushes.

I had so much fun creating this cut out page that I did one more using a freebie collaboration kit, Frightfully Delightful, from my digi friends, Sue and Nini (click on their names to go to their blog).

Since we are talking about freebies, I have one more to share, which is long over due.  This layout features Bloom by Twelve by Twelve Designs.  The creative mastermind behind this is my dear friend, Angie.

Since you made it all the way here, I just wanted to say thank you to Amanda, TaylorMade Designs, and her creative team for selecting my layout, I am Me, for best composition.  As a prize, I got $50 GC to her store, so watch for some future layouts using all of her luscious designs.
