This week I worked with several cute kits.  We welcomed a new designer to Two Peas this week, Dianne Rigdon.  I must say, I love her style.  It’s a little grungy, a lot like paper and easy to use for any topic. my favorite style!

Luggage Tag

School Daze by Shelley Castillo

This super cute school themed paper pack was just right for a school bag tag. I printed the papers on Matte Photo Paper, die cut the notebook paper with a Paper Trey Ink Die and added my name with some Doodlebug stickers. I laminated the whole thing and added some ribbon and a button to finish it off.

Airshow

Capture Moments by Edeline Marta

If you missed it, you can see more pictures from the airshow here. I used Edeline Marta’s Capture Moments kit to document our trip to the airshow this past weekend.  I love the little camera element and the graph paper clouds! :)

Things I love about you

The Apple Of My Eye – COLLECTION by Vinnie Pearce

I LOVE love LOVE this super collection from Vinnie Pearce.  It is FULL of super cute stuff.  I can’t wait to go back and use more bits and pieces… but the thing that initially caught my eye were the yellow yoyo, the rose ribbon and the soft rose.  sigh, so sweet!  This picture was taken by Jalen on our Big Island Vacation.

KIT SMITTEN- Hybrid Butterfly Frame

Beautiful Butterflies by Laina Lamb

I was lucky enough to work with Laina’s super cute Butterfly shapes to create this hybrid framed project.  I cut these older American Crafts Craft Fair Papers and used their this to that foam dots to put it together.  I hand sewed some floss for a pretty pink border. :)

I have more projects to share with you soon!  Thanks for stopping by!

congratulations Jan, I’ll be emailing you to get your address.

I’d like to share the latest two peas layouts I’ve created.  I picked up two super cute kits last week Tuesday at Two peas.  The first one was by Michelle Underwood called the smile you give.  I always love Michelle’s feminine, sweet kits.  Since I don’t have daughters, I scrapped a picture of myself.  I have been reading a lot lately on my kindle app for the iTouch. I lOVE it!  most recently I’ve read the percy jackson series, the traveling pants series and the curious incident of the dog in the night.

Stitched Felt Alphabet – Lime & Stitched Felt Alphabet – Evergreen by Miss Mint

The second kit I picked up was from Kerry’d Away Designs called candy apple.  I must tell you, i had been working on this layout for about an hour and kept saying to myself, you really should do a save as, so you don’t ruin this paper… and as I was closing windows in ps (ctrl w is my fave) I accidently closed the window with the layout in it and instead of clicking cancel, I clicked do not save. D’OH!  so this is the second attempt at the layout with this kit.  These pictures are of Jordan and his friend Ryan from preschool… two hams, I love it!

Candy Apple by Kerry Stewart Stitched Felt Alphabet – Orange & Stitched Felt Alphabet – Seafoam by Miss Mint

For this week’s kits, I chose Jen Martakis’ SUNday kit and Shimelle’s you are AMAZING template/alpha kit.  I absolutely love the painted newspaper in jen’s kit and the alphas in Shimelle’s. so so awesome.  This is a layout of Jordan on Preschool Graduation day.  I took the journaling straight from the blog post that day, so so convenient to have that info to use as journaling.

SUNday News by Jen Martakis You Are Amazing by Shimelle Laine

In other scrappy news, I have a blog tutorial for a hybrid layout going up at the blog at Design House Digital soon and I’m working on another tutorial for Tattered Angels to go up at the Educator’s blog soon.
Last week the Pioneer Woman’s photography assignment was homecoming.  I entered the pictures that I posted in my last post and she chose this one for her blog, I was so excited to be included! :)

Jalen made me a treasure box in school.  They painted and added gemstones to the top.  He filled it with gold coins (they are studying Treasure Island in school) and a kit kat (his favorite candy) and a bag of arare (one of my favorite snacks).  *aww, happy sigh, again*

I got a card in the mail last week or the week before from Troy. :)  A big surprise from my pal FabuLisa and her daughter Savannah.  They stopped by in the afternoon to bring me a gorgeous flowering plant (kalanchoes, so pretty!). and a bag of bite sized cookies too! :)

I’ve been continuing my research on the homeschool front.  I picked up a few kindle books on how to choose your curriculum and styles of homeschooling and I’m pretty excited.  I hear that Hawaii is a homeschool friendly state.  I am going to file a form with the local school to let them know we’re homeschooling.  We have to show our accomplishments and Jalen has to participate in testing, either with the local school (for free) or by private tester (at our cost).  Not decided which way we’ll go on that yet.  There are local homeschool groups here that I am looking forward to meeting with and a conference next month.  I am very excited about our prospects.  Although taking on their schooling is a great responsibility, really, so is parenting.

We are winding down in our current schools, Jordan has 2 more weeks and Jalen has 3 more weeks.  Because I am a SAHM, I get to go to most field trips and class activities.  I am at the school with my camera quite a bit and like to share my pictures with other parents.  So for the end of the year, I am compiling pictures on DVDs and giving them out to fellow parents.  I’ve created a tutorial on how to create personalized cd envelopes over at DHD: tutorial. I created this cd envelope template.  It *just* fits on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.  I have a .jpg and a .gsd if you’d like it: cdenvelope

This past week I got to work with a few cute items from two peas.  Click on the titles for full credits:

Glass Bottomed Boat

journaling: Jordan’s Preschool class took a field trip to the Glass Bottomed Boat in Kaneohe Bay.  It was a beautiful day, bright sun and calm seas.  The guide told us about different types of coral and fish that we might see.  We looked through the Plexiglas windows in the bottom of the boat.  We also had the opportunity to feed the fish some bread crumbs.   We also saw a few sea turtles.  It was a beautiful trip.  No one got sick, no one got hurt and no one fell overboard.  Success! April 2010

journaling: Jordan learned how to ride his tricycle like a pro! He loves to zoom down the sidewalk! (this is a 2 year old picture)

This first hybrid card uses Laina Lamb’s Digi Die Cut Files, Borderlines 3.  I cut 3 strips out of American Crafts Letterbox Paper.  I glued it to the card base, added some handstitching with bakers twine and topped it off with a die cut cork butterfly and a piece of AC flair. :)

Here is another card using Laina’s digi Die Cut files, Favorite Frames.

This next hybrid card uses Holly Jones’ Digital Flower Shower Stickers. How could I possibly resist that cloud/rain? You know me, I couldn’t!

My last two cards for this week use Vinnie’s Military Guy Kit, I love the papers and elements and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to make some cards for Operation Write Home.  I still want to make more Thank You Hero Cards with this kit.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed these cards :)
