new holiday photo cards!!!

today my release for DHD is something I've been wanting to do for a while... I love sending out photo cards over the holidays to our friends & family, but often find it hard to get everything done in the the hustle & bustle that goes on this time of year.  Here's what I've done... in each kit there are 3 layered files that you can add your photos, sentiment & name(s) to so easily!  Then, either print them out at home, or send them off to your favorite photo developer online or in a store.  Cool, yes?  I wanted to give you some options... one set it based around the Holly Jolly digital kits I released earlier this month & the other set is based on the Holiday Fun digital kits, so if  you want to add something, change something up, whatever... you can use them together!  Also, with the files being layered, you can easily change positioning, delete things you don't want to use... like a mini digital layout :) {ps: click on the image of the kit for the link}

& here are some of my examples using the files... 

I can't wait to do the "real deal" up soon... my sister is taking our family pictures this weekend.  My main goal? Try to get a photo of all 3 kids TOGETHER {this has been virtually impossible since Lydia started walking}!  Oh & I'd like a nice shot of our entire family too :)

So don't forget to head over to DHD today to get these templates for a steal {30% off just today} & then you can check one more thing off your list of "to-do's"!

a trip to the pumpkin patch

well, it's been 2 weeks since I went with Lydia & her preschool class to Kathy's Pumpkin Patch & I'm finally getting  my blog post up about it!   It was a bit of a cool day weather wise, but nice & sunny too & the kids had a great time.  The owner, Kathy, showed them all kinds of different pumpkins & gourds first.  They then got to go on a wagon ride to the corn maze, then to pick their own pumpkins, then back to play in all the fun stuff that they have set up there.  They have a corn "bath" {as the kids were calling it}, trikes, play houses, slides & lots more!  Seriously if you're in the area you should go by & check it all out... I know they do lots of fun "grown up" things too :)  Here's a few pictures I captured that day!

what a fun day :)  Have you been to the Pumpkin Patch this year?  It has always been my favorite field trip that the kids take... I just love all the fun pictures I get!

halloween hoopla!

tonight the kids' school has something they call Halloween Hoopla... basically an inside trick or treat where everyone decorates a space & gives out treats in a safe & fun environment.  as always we {okay, me} procrastinated & couldn't decide if we were going or not, but today I thought, it will be fun for the kids to get to be with their friends & we'll get to see lots of people we enjoy seeing as well!  I had picked up a few non-candy items like pencils, erasers & stickers, but then decided to print out a sheet for the kids {or parents} to pick up that they can cut out & make a cool decoration at home together.  

seriously people, this is so easy to do... I used my Not So Freaky Banner kit to put this together.  I just opened up my photoshop document to be letter size {8.5x11} & placed each banner {they were sized down 37% from original} to fit on the sheet.  If I feel really ambitious, I may cut them all out too!  I think it will be something fun & different, plus some local advertisement for pink trike design ;)

I also decided to put together a little mini book they can cut out & add some little photos too, totally something the kids could do by themselves or with mom or dad :)  after the photos are added you can just punch some holes at the top & add ribbon or string or you could just staple it too!  

this was made with the Not So Freaky banner kit, Jen Allyson's poloroid frames & Deena Rutters Superstition word art.

hope to see lots of our Holy Trinity Elementary friends there...

New releases 10.21

I have to say I'm really excited about this release today... I think it's so fun!  I've released 4 digital paper kits & 2 embellishment kits...

the great thing about these {I think} is that you can combine the Santa Baby & the Sweet Baby kits to give you all kinds of cute options!  Plus I packaged up the Santa Baby in a full kit:

I wanted to share this layout from one of our great DHD Decorator Kym Tsukamoto... so cute :)

head on over to DHD today... lots of cute stuff in the shop :)

now I'm off to take miss Lydia to the dentist.. fun fun.  We're going to make a trip to Target too... so that will make up for it!  have a great day :)

more sneaks

hey everyone, I know I haven't been around, but you know... busy, busy!  We had a nice little {short} trip to KC last week & had a fun filled weekend with family & friends.  I've really had to put it into high gear the last few days to get all the goodies completed for my release tomorrow!  I had lots of fun creating these though!  So, thought I'd give you a little taste of what will be coming tomorrow:

Maybe just a little more Christmas?
