new feeling blue digital papers

I thought I'd share another digital paper kit I've put together... 8 12x12 papers with a steely blue & cream color scheme.  I think these will be a really versatile set to have!  you can get them here.

about the page:

patterned papers: ticking, gingham, stripe, damask: feeling blue kit, pink trike design. tan textured: fashionable fall, pink trike design. fonts: splendid 66 & deftone stylus.

journaling reads: this was your first year playing "real" baseball. you LOVED every minute of it too!  you played on the houghton team with a lot of your friends from school.  we all had a great time watching you & can't wait for next season to see all that you will do. june 2010.

fashionable fall

Every August I really get in the mood for fall... for the new fashions that are appearing in the stores, new clothes for the kids, thinking about when the leaves change, the weather gets cooler, Thanksgiving, trips to the pumpkin patch & cool evenings snuggled on the porch.  Yes, I love fall.  

Well, I've done up a new paper kit called fashionable fall... a little different color combination, but still evokes thoughts of fall to me.  I've combined tans, creams, oranges, & blue-greys for this warm & cozy textured collection.  I hope you like it! Here's the link to buy it HERE!

about the page:

all patterned & textured papers from the fashionable fall collection: pink trike design.  stitching: anna aspnes, designer digitals.  fonts: splendid 66 & velvet.

journaling reads: miss L you have always had the sweetest most kissable cheeks. finding this picture of the two of us brings back so many happy memories of you as a baby.  i loved when i could hold you right there, nice & tight & kiss on those cheeks. 9.07.

playing with free stuff... 8.9

I love playing with new digital goodies... I especially love all the great free stuff out there.  This is a new feature I'm planning on doing here... showing you how I created a layout or project with some free digital + giving you a freebie right here from me!  yay!  It goes without saying that I'd LOVE to see what you've done with it... I'm working on setting up a gallery for your layouts, so if you'd like to email me your layouts or projects that you create with any pink trike products, please do!  {pinktrikedesign at gmail dot com}.

I just loved these pictures I caught of Lydia as she was watching for Dan to come home from work one day. They aren't of the greatest quality, but I still think they capture the moment.  I know sometimes it's hard to make ourselves use these pictures that might be a little dark or a little grainy or not quite in focus, but if they capture the story you're trying to tell... why not?

journaling reads: waiting... lots of days we are waiting for daddy. watching down our road for his truck until he comes home & is ready to play. june 2010.

so here's what I used:

free press plate template no.13 & free paislee baroque clipping mask from Paislee Press: Oscraps. 

green patterned paper + cream {frames}: pinktrikedesign {here's the freebie I created for you!  click to download HERE!} yay!

have a great monday everyone :)

just a picture

i had a few spare moments tonight & really wanted to put together a few layouts.... it just sort of makes me feel refreshed sometimes.  plus i have all these pictures my sister took last weekend of the boys.  i had been thinking of a layout for Collin & was thinking of using several pictures.  but you know how sometimes you just have a picture {or several} that just capture you?  the look in his eye, the smile on his face, just made me want to use just this picture so it would be the focus & not get lost with others.  it also gave me a chance to add some journaling about where we're at right now.  sometimes good, sometimes bad, but no matter what i'll always love him {of course}.  i know at heart he's one of the sweetest kids, but lately it seems growing pains have slipped in & we're trying to navigate our way through it all.  

about this page:

journaling reads: you at eleven... happy & then not. good & then bad. lovable & then, well, not so much. sweet & then sour. i guess we'll just go with the flow.  love you always. 7.10

supplies: patterned paper: stripy paper kit: pink trike design.  tape pieces: from hugs&kissesNo1 layered template & journaling spot: from memories layered template: katie pertiet designer digitals.
