Another layout

This is of child number two with his date for Homecoming this September.  Aren't they precious?  I really love the enchanted paper in the background.  I got the papers and most of the ellies from Cajoline's Christmas and ScrapManiac's White Christmas.  The key is from Sky's the Limit designs November color challenge kit at Digiscrap Obsession and the pocket watch is Scrappin Cop's.  I think the rest is all me ;)  I definitely did the enchanted overlay and I love it so much I'm saving it to use in a kit later.  I also lifted this layout from Jenasis Designs.  I've included her original version below so you can check out it's awesomeness, too!!

Hard Drive Crash and Cheer Layout

Yes, you read it correctly.  Another hard drive crash! Only this time it was my external that I bought to protect my stuff after my laptop drive crashed.  So that's not so bad, right? I should be able to download a copy of everything from my laptop.  Well, that's what happens to normal people.  STUPID people don't have everything on both drives.

I had put everything I was burning to CD for permanent storage into a folder and was ready to burn them when I got distracted by, well...life and didn't burn it.  But, I DID delete the extra copy off my laptop to make more space.  Normally I wouldn't have done that till the CD's were done, but I was in a hurry and I didn't expect the drive to fail two days later.  Of course, who ever expects a drive failure?  Sigh.  So I lost all my scrap stuff again.  All my designing goodies and a lot of stuff I had just bought to use, too!  Also lost a bunch of layouts.  I was only distressed over a few of them, and I rebuilt them.  They aren't exactly the same, but they look pretty good.  So, live an learn, right?  I now subscribe to an online backup service that automatically syncs my files.  So there!  Gees, what is it with me and hard drives?  I must give off some kind of magnetic field that fries them or something.

Anyway, I'm back in business and here's my first layout for a while.  This is of McKenzie cheering at a couple football games.  I did this using the template for Jen Reed's November challenge.

Here's the template:

And here's the cutest little kit called Cherish that was that prize for playing in the challenge:

And here's my layout.  It's actually a double page so check 'em both out!

So, there ya go.  I hope to get something accomplished now that I've ironed out my hard drive issues!

Freebie Cluster Frame

Here's a cute little frame cluster I made to go with my Christmas kit, but the colors go with both if you want to use it with papers from the Fish kit.  The frames do have a slightly lifted effect that you can't see here because the shadow doesn't show on the black background.  Also, the 4shared preview doesn't show right, but the file downloads well.

Stuff to Scrap November 2010 Color Challenge: Revisted

Hello, everyone!  I did the kit below, and I like it, but it seems weird to do fish in November....so I did a Christmas kit with the same colors today.  I surely had something else I should have been doing, right? Just don't tell the Hub, he always thinks I spend too much time on the computer anyway. LoL.

Check it out, here's the preview.  Download links below the credits.

Stuff to Scrap November 2010 Color Challenge

I love color challenges!! I've never done the one at Stuff to Scrap, but I had a couple free hours (ha ha) and thought I'd give it a shot...Here's the color swatch:

Interesting, right?  It makes me think of fish...which is weird for a November kit, but that's just how I roll.  Hee hee.  And here's the mini I created.  It doesn't have as many ellies as I usually do, but I only had a couple hours free, remember? LoL!  Hope ya like it.
