holiday cheer {green}

holiday cheer {red}

here's how it works...

Photo card design that is customized with your photos & information & emailed to you so you can choose where to have them printed any way you might like! Many things can be customized to your liking... fonts, colors, wording & the amount of pictures!

This is how it works: 
*choose this design & let me know if you'd like 4x6 or 5x7 size 
*convo me & I'll send you the details of how to get the photos to me 
*I'll send you an email proof in 24 hrs or less. I'll work with you to do a reasonable amount of changes. 
*once the proof is approved by you, I'll send the final product via email, where you can take it or upload it to any photo printer you wish {Target, Wal-Mart, Snapfish, scrapbookpictures, persnickety prints, etc.}.

{photos} 
submit whatever photos you would like in a .jpg format. it would be best if the resolution is 300 dpi or higher for best quality. I can make your photos black & white or sepia at your request, no charge.

cool right? hoping to post more designs soon!

first day of school

I'm now a mom of a 6th grader & a 3rd grader...

today is the first day of school for our boys.  they were up bright & early at 6 to get ready for their day. unfortunately their bus is scheduled to be at our house a little after 7, so school mornings are usually up early so we're not rushing around.  this is not really that big of change for us, the boys & I are early risers anyway {which I'm thankful of this time of year when we don't need to be dragging them out of bed}.  they both were bright eyed & excited to be back with friends {plus I think they just do well with a regular schedule}. thankfully this year the morning was cool & beautiful & they were more than willing to let me take pictures. last year was rainy & gloomy & I didn't get more than 3 bad photos.  Lydia insisted on waiting on the porch while her "boys" were waiting for the bus... hence the picture of her bundled up in the chair!  this morning we've been pretty productive so far, doing some cleaning while the boys are gone & just enjoying some time alone.  good luck Collin & Evan!  we love you & wish you a great school year :) <3 mom, dad & sis

sweet fall

I've created 2 new fall digital paper kits... I couldn't resist doing up a cute girly one called SWEET FALL!  the first is the patterned set with all kinds of cuteness in pink, orange, brown & cream combinations...

you can get it here in my etsy shop

the second is the solid set with all the colors in textures & with tonal big dots!  so sweet! 

you can get it here in my etsy shop

here's a layout I put together real quick with the papers of Lydia's first trip the pumpkin patch.  aww, makes me miss my baby... she's going to preschool next week!

oh, & this set may or may not have been inspired by this super cute outfit from gymboree.  seriously, I'd wear it all myself if they would just make an adult version...

happy wednesday everyone!

it's almost time...

today is our boys' last day of summer.  tonight we go to school to unpack supplies & see their classmates & teachers.  I'm up to my ears in school supplies & just trying to keep Lydie from using them all {she gets it honest}.  I have to admit I had a little sad moment this morning when Evan came downstairs & I gave him a good morning hug.  guess I was thinking about from here on out, it won't be the relaxed, lazy mornings we've enjoyed the last few months, but the rush of getting everyone fed, dressed & out the door on time so the bus doesn't leave them behind.  for as much as they might have annoyed or made me think I couldn't wait for school to start again, I have to say I've loved having all my kids home with me this summer.  The house was messier & noisier, but I've enjoyed their company & it's been a pretty nice change from previous years.  I'll be enjoying days again with just me & the little miss, but she'll be at school 3 mornings a week starting next week too.  I guess I'll use that time to power out some work so I can spend some valuable time with the kids when they get off the bus.  the weather the last few days has me craving fall... I can't wait for more fall weather & all the changes that go along with it {like new cute clothes for us all}!

ready for some holiday fun?

I know it's only August & the kids are just getting back to school, but have you noticed how holiday decor is appearing in the stores?  Yep, in the retail biz it's crunch time & maybe you want to get a head start too!  I've created these 2 new digital scrapbooking paper kits to help you out if you want to start on your holiday cards, decorations & scrapbooks... or maybe you still are looking to scrapbook those memories from last year?  I've put together a really cool, somewhat non-traditional color palette of red, olive, grey, turquoise & pale green to create some fun patterns + a kit full of solids!  You can check the patterns out here & the solids here.
