pinkalicious!

I'm quite sure that any of you out there that have little girls know all about Pinkalicious... a feisty little girl with a deep love for the color pink {and all things pink!}.  Lydia loves these books, so when we saw a dress up costume in the toy section, well, let's just say her Halloween costume was decided.  If there were any girl that is Pinkalicious to the core, it would have to be this little girl... right here

although I captured plenty of photos of miss Lydia in her costume this year, my Evan has eluded me in his Iron Man costume.  I'm hoping my sister got a shot or two of my superhero.  Collin decided that he was too old for trick or treating this year, so he helped to pass out candy to all the kids at Grandma & Grandpa's house instead.  Lydia had a great time at her school party with all her preschool friends & LOVED the tromp around St.Paul to gather up her candy!  

Her favorite?

{she calls them kitty cats}  all other candy in her bucket has gone untouched!

stay tuned tomorrow for some sneak peeks of my new releases on Thursday, plus some info about Digital Scrapbooking Day festivities!

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"!

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...
