Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July everyone!! Tonight the kids and i will take a walk a few blocks away to the local park where there is always an awesome show that's put on by a lot of people that live around here. I'll take my camera and hopefully i'll get some great shots of the kids and of the fireworks. The family across the street will be going with their little girl too. It should be an awesome time just as it always is. Lets just hope that little Dawson doesnt get scared and freak out. He can sleep through anything so hopefully he will do just that during the fireworks. As a special treat for all of you i created a cute word art for all of your layout created for this wonderful day.

And have a safe and happy 4th of July everyone.

Layouts and new products!!

Ok so i have been busy with the kids this last week. Over at my mom's most days. My oldest has enjoyed the new sandbox and the freedom of being able to come and go as he pleases from the house to the yard. My youngest sleeps so much better when we are there, well, except for last night but that was an intestinal problem that was fixed today. Poor kid evidently got backed up and a bottle of nothing but water helped him today. He was in a much better mood after one heck of a smelly diaper! LOL My husband and i have been cooking dinner over there so that she didnt have to worry about it. We also have been whacking down weeds that have had the chance to grow wildly over the winter, with all the rain we were having till recently we couldnt hack them down till now. But yard is looking much better, still a work in progress. We plan on putting in a few more toys and a swing set for my oldest to play on, but that all has to wait till we get further along with the yard clean up. So last night we did a big bbq for dinner and used the treager grill for it. And YUMMY it was. Well i was in charge of flipping the switch back and forth between High and low so i toted my pc out there and was playing with photoshop and some actions. I created a new product thatgoes perfectly alone or with my new kit Boy Town. I'll show you sometime soon, I cant seem to upload it right now to the store.. its got to be having issues.

And here is the full kit for Boys Town (im not including the add-ons in this post but you can check previous posts and see all of them including a freebie that is up at DSS.

Dont forget to check out Friday express at DSS, I have 5 Great products available in that sections today. These are products that are normally $4 and over but they are available for $2 just for Friday Express and they change weekly!!
 Here are the products i have available this week:



Now I have some layouts that i would love to share with you. These were a lot of fun creating.

 These layouts are made using Natural Spring created by Inspired By Dominic Designs and JennCk Designs as well. In the layout above I used International Palms as my font for the date. The photo is of a friend and my oldest while at the Oregon Zoo walking through an area where the plants create an arch for the kids to walk through. Below, is a layout created with the same kit showcasing a photo of the neighbor girl in the rain with her pink umbrella.

 

 I have one last layout to show you and it is made using A collab between Inspired By Dominic Designs and JayaPrem's Hangout, it's called Beth. I also used Inspired By Dominic Designs Vol. 1 of her break it down.

Layouts and a freebie again!!

so as some of you may know, i have dropped a lot of my responsibilities at Moo Two and because of that occasionally i get a little more time to myself. Sometimes with that time (usually the kids are asleep) I sometimes get to scrap layouts, other times i have to use it to catch up on chores or household stuff. Well, tonight my oldest fell asleep in the highchair while eating dinner, yep had to pick food out of his hand even! And finally my youngest fell asleep, he had been fighting it for several hours.
So, while my oldest slept on the floor on a blanket (yep we moved him) and my youngest snored away in their room I created 2 layouts for Dielle Designs, using her wonderful kit named "Bumbershoot" I just love that word! And it means Umbrella, so you can imagine that this kit is full of great rainy day items. Here is a great preview of it:

Click Here to go check it out.

So here are my layouts:

This top layout shows a photo of my oldest playing in the rain at the Oregon Zoo with a little girl who was there. For the background paper I used papers from this kit but I overlay-ed them to create another paper that i felt would fit better with my photo, I also used another paper and created a clipping mask over the top of a frame shape for the frame. I used Fat Stack BB as my font for the date.

In the second layout, I wanted journaling but I also wanted 3 larger photos as well as word art, I placed my word art on top of a paper and then added my journaling one line (and occasionally one word) at a time to fit around the word art as well as the doodle, to fit in the space provided by the paper. I added the date and the names side ways on the edges of two layered papers. The journaling tells the story. It reads;

"At the Oregon Zoo we got trapped by the rain near the elephants. We had to wait for the rain to slow down to try to walk back to the car & go home. While we waited James couldnt hold back. He just had to run & jump in the puddles that were forming fast!"

Well, that's it for now and for taking a look you get a freebie I made while messing around with  photoshop.

layouts and a freebie!!!

As most of you have seen my "Boys Town" kit that was recently released I wanted to share a few layouts with you that were created using it. These are awesome inspiration.

First up we have 2 layouts created by Amy who is a wonderful gal that I share a CT with for Inspired by Dominic Designs and JayaPrem's Hangout as well. She offered to do some layouts for me when she saw This new kit, here are the layouts that she created.

Now we have a wonderful layout created by Kathy of Kathys scraps over at Digiscrapstation. She created this layout for one of my challenges using a photo she just recently took of her boys at the wedding of Timothy (the one standing in the middle). Congrats!!

Next up we have Karen M who is a wonderful CT at digiscrapstation who created a two page layout using the kit. It is showcasing the demolition event that occurred while doing a community service project for her local Camp Fire USA Council. (first layout is left side and second is right side)

Awesome layouts ladies!!! I would love to see more layouts created with this kit. If you would like to work with it please send me an email to ms_jordan@ymail.com and i would gladly give the first 5 people interested a coupon for the entire kit!!

Challenge #6 and Layouts!

Here is a look at some of my most recent layouts:

The First layout was created using a template from C. Princes it is a May Dayz challenge template. I added The tilted paper and I removed the journaling that was suggested on the template. Both layouts used the kit Adorable You created by JayaPrem's Hangout.

 This layout is Made with the kit Hazel created by Inspired By Dominic Designs and JayaPrem's Hangout

The last two layouts here are created with Inspired by Dominic Designs' Amazing kit Domimetric.

Challenge #6 --June 19th
Due- June 30th
I know that father’s day is just a few days away but I figured why not pay one lay homage to the special woman or women in your life? Here is a little sampler that I have made; It’s a girl thing.

I would love for you to create a layout showing us who that female is and telling us why they are so important to you.
In your layout I would like you to find a creative way to tell us 5 things about this person that makes them special.
To download this feminine kit click here and here.
You do not have to use the kit in the layout but I would love to see what you can do with it.
Once you are done uploading your layout to the gallery at Digiscrapstation please remember to place a link in the comments at the end of this post.
