Archives for November 2006

Well… Here’s the previews for the final submission for the store… I had several things to " fix" on the 3 other kits, and had to create a totally new kit too! I do love the changes I made, but now I’m a little stressed about being "good enough"  Now, if I don’t get in, it is certainly NOT the end of the world, but it would be SUPER COOL!  But then again, I do love designing with other people’s stuff…. AND Here’s the previews for the updated kits…. Keep your fingers crossed for me :)

A Country Christmas

Happy Holidays

French Country

And…. introducing…. Winter Bling

I think I’m done…. 50 pages…. WOW! is all I have to say!!!! I’m so excited, and I really want to see them in print now…. IF I can get DH to do it, I may log in and just do it myself…..

OK… I think I am completely insane!! Last year for Christmas, we made printed photo books with an overview of pics of the kids…. Sean and Kathryn 2005… It was a huge hit!! About 50 pages, and printed through Lulu.com.  So, we want to do it again this year… I went through this years pictures, and picked my favorites… there’s about 25 each of Sean and Kathryn and about 12 of the 2 of them together…. So I’m looking at the book from last year, and I get an idea… Not "just’ the picture, but a digitally scrapped page for each picture….. In order for it to be done and printed, it needs to be done this weekend…. I’ve got 17 done… "only" a million to go :)  I’m pretty psyched about how they are coming out though!! I’m using Jessica Bolton’s "Make Me Eclectic" kit and quick pages.  I love the quick pages, but not all of them are single pics, and there’s not 50 of them, so I’m adjusting, changing, and using templates as I go.  I’ve used a few other pieces as accents (from her Lily’s dream and Mountain kits)…. Here’s the first few pages… If you want to be surprised by the book… stop looking now :)

The title is the fron cover, and the first page… The rest are 2-page sets that will be on facing pages….

I just finished remaking the 3 kits that I submitted. The feedback that I was sent by the store was wonderful, and so on-target!! So, I remade the kits, and just finished re-sending them.  Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!! I hope to hear in a week-or-so!!
