And the layouts just keep on coming…
I posted another layout last night, this morning and then again this afternoon! Giving me 3 more layouts to show you, as usual click on the layout for full credit info… and click on product previews to check out the stuffs I used in making my layouts!
Last night’s layout upload was a redone layout of my DD at 3 months old!
-not currently available as of post date, was included in a QOTC grab bag.
-not currently available as of post date, was included as bonus gift in her May product guide.
Journaling reads:
This photo is from a trip my mother and I did together
in 2000. We rode our bikes from my place in North Bay
Ontario, to her house near Field Ontario. We rode to
Sturgeon Falls where we had breakfast and walked through
town, then rode again to Field where we took another
small water break. We then continued on until reaching
my parents’ property line. We then walked through the
trails on the property as our cool down till we got to
the house. Surprisingly we weren’t sore afterwards, but
only needed a bit of a rest for our muscles. It was a
great bonding moment for us, the first and only time
we’ve ever done anything like that – just the two of us.
Well those are all the layouts I’ve uploaded so far, come back again soon ’cause I’ll probably have more done up soon! LOL…
Some of my must have fonts…
There’s a post at DST’s forum asking what your fav fonts are, and that got me thinking that maybe I could blog about all the wonderful fonts that I would be lost without. So here is a list of my fav fonts, the list is a .jpg so you could see what they look like, under the image is a numbered list that coresponds to the numbers in the list naming the font and giving a link to where it can be found if still available. Enjoy, and let me know if you blog about your fav fonts too! Notebook elements used in my font previews are by Sue Cummings.
- Sandy by Victoria Feemster
- AceBinghamSH
- BettysHand
- MA Simple Pleasure
- Monika
- Scribble (long list, just keep scrolling down – they’re in alphabetical order)
- Ziggy Zoe (again, just scroll down a little on the list)

I’m just scrapping crazy!
Wow, that’s how I feel anyways… I scrapped 3 layouts yesterday, that’s pretty rare for me in one day. I have posted a couple more layouts this morning, 2 from yesterday I haven’t posted yet… I’m not sure if I like them yet, I may redo them if I’m not happy with them when I come back online later today. So I’ll decide about them then. In the mean time I have 2 I can show you, as usual click on the layout for credit info and click on the previews of the products used for info on them. I’m going to the trouble of tracking down preview images and links to the products that I’ve used in my layouts to help you find what I’ve used if you like it. Please let me know if you like this added feature, it’s a lot of added work that takes me away from my scrapping among other things, but if you like having that extra added info there then let me know so I know it’s worth taking the time. Thanks! So here are the layouts:
(get the template free at Jennilyn’s Playroom, just check out the Little Gifties section!)
Well, on a more personal note… Jean got home yesterday, he’ll be home all week long as he tries to recover. Apparently he has 2 crushed vertebrates and his spine has completely shifted to the right of his back. This is sooo not good. He’s discussing with the doc as to what his options are. She has a few ideas for correcting his back, one includes surgery but she will only operate if everything else fails. Hubby’s also having to look at his career and decide what he wants to do, he can’t stay in the army, it’s just not working out. It’s too physical and he keeps getting seriously hurt, for some reason his body just can’t handle it no matter how much he wants it too. So by the end of this year we should have an idea of where we stand and what our next phase in life looks like. And though he’s in pain, he’s home and can relax and get better now.
Well, that’s about it for me. I may be back this afternoon or tonight if I decide to upload my next 2 layouts, I’ll see how much I like them later. And I have another layout I’m working on, it’s giving me a lot of trouble. I’ve tried a few different kits, and layout placement but nothing looks quite right. So I’ll play with that later on too when I have more time. Right now I’m going to go hop on the Blog Train at DST then get Allysandra up and fed. Then I have some things around the house to do this morning. So ttyl!
