Hi Everybody!  Haven't done a challenge LO in a long time, but decided to give it a try with some recent photos I took at Disney World (Night of Joy at the Magic Kingdom). Doing this challenge helped me get out of my rut of always doing the same repetitive designs. Thank you All! Karen http://sbing....

Your post comes just after I finished reading a novel ( Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver) in which the Monarch butterfly is a main part of the plot.  The story (and elsewhere searching on Google) mentions the death / eternal life of the soul connection. According to (Aztec and other ancients) f...

Just tried it out! Very cool! I am slow on the trigger, however, as there were zero message posts when I first read your announcement, and about 8 or a dozen have already responded. (Probably more by now). I used my Ipad as my phone is a simplified 3G format and can't handle web browsing very well. ...

This new kit is just beautiful! It has just the right stuff for me to use as I scrap some of the many photos my Dad took on a business trip to China in 1979. Here is my first China themed creation:

Mildred,
Thinking of you with lifting thoughts and prayers, and knowing what you are going thru and will be going thru in the coming days. It has been exactly a year and nine days since my own Dear Dad passed on 9/17/11.
{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} to you and your family.
Karen

Love this new kit! Here is one of the two I made with it:

I am so looking forward to this class!!! I have photoelements 10 and dont know how to use it to digi scrap.... Kim Hi Kim! Welcome to ACOT! I am on Marci's CT (been digi scrapping nearly four years) and I am also signed up for the class. I will lend a hand, when I can, and take a turn answering que...

I remembered that there are some first-day-of-school photos on my Dad's CD. I found these in the 1967 folder (same source as the pic I used for my "Family Time" LO). The colors in the kit are perfect for these shots of my little bro:

Can't wait to see what Karen does with them in the gallery!! When I read this I thought, "now I don't want to disappoint LyndaKay--she is my biggest fan". Problem was I didn't think I had any photos to go with all those hot hot colors. Well, here is what I came up with last night: http://...

Marci, I think this is a great idea! :) I look forward to seeing more paper scrappers join the ranks of the digi scrappers and to viewing the results of their "homework" assignments. Although I have advanced a bit in my PS skills (had one introductory 3 hour class to get me started in Jan ...

I really like how you used the glitter papers as fill for several of the template elements. Love your photo!

After taking a look at all your gorgeous LOs using this yummy kit I went looking in all my folders to see if I had one with a dog in it. Pretty slim pickings, since we don't own one. Just about gave up. Then I remembered this one that my sis sent me when I was making the slide show for my Dad's memo...

I agree--this is such a cute kit. :) Tho' I don't have little kids in pre-school I did find a use for it when I scrapped two photos Dad took of us with our cousins in 1952. I changed the colors slightly to go with my photos (made my own plaid and added red-orange and green alphas), and I used parts ...

Hi Everyone! I am loving all the beautiful LOs with Marci's newest kit. Here is my LO with the photo that started it all:

Hi Everyone! :) This challenge was just the ticket to help me get unstuck with this LO using the new "Family Time" kit by HFD. Marci was so sweet to make this kit using my photo from which to select the colors. While impatiently waiting for her to finish creating this kit I did a LO using ...

Hey Marci! I love this kit! At first I wondered how would use all those soft slightly neutral shades, then I remembered I had a few beach scene photos without close-ups of people in bright colors. Here is my LO made with "Seaside":

Smiles: today we heard that a probate judge has finally approved the sale of a condo we have been hoping to buy since our offer was accepted last December. (it was a very comlicated case involving two decedants, one intestate). Some light now at the end of that tunnel--yeah! Frowns: upon arriving at...

About ready to leave for church this minute; I'll be staying into the afternoon to help put the finishing touches on the VBS set up for tomorrow's first day of Sky Vacation Bible School. The theme is "Trust God" because with God, nothing is impossible.

If you do lose your passport it will be harder to replace than applying for a first time passport. And costs the same, about $150, instead of the lower cost renewal. Yes, I lost mine and learned that I would have to appear in person at a passport office to do so. End of my story: after discovering i...

Brandon, :) Thank you very much! It is working now and I was able to upload my submission a few minutes ago. I apologize for not responding sooner, as I have been away from home all day today. Not exactly sure what the problem was--I was beginning to think it had something to do with my somewhat anc...
