catching up

It has been a rough week! Nate started to climb out of his crib, so we had to switch him to a big boy bed and mikey has had horrible allergies. I managed to catch up on layouts for the '09 scrapbook.

Shape Up is here!!

Would you love to share you love of digi scrapping w/ your kids? One of the digi-scrap designers that I love, Amy Sumrall, came up with an amazing design idea for kids. She has designed "Shape Up". Shape Up is a program that includes "How to" video's and shapes so that kids can create their own pictures. If you remember color forms from the 70's, her program is just like that. The program is on sale at The Digi Chick for $7.19.

Amy was kind enough to give me the program a few days ago. My daughter, Sophie who is 5 years old, used Photo Shop Elements and created her own picture! She and I had so much fun! She has done at least one to two pictures a day since Amy gave it to us! Check out Sophie's work below. Don't forget to visit Amy's site for more information about this amazing program and other goodies! Amy is always giving away freebies. Her site is a must see!!! Don't forget to leave her some love!!

April Fools in March!

My friend asked me to create a birthday invitation for her daughter Anna. Her birthday is on April 1st! My girlfriend has wanted to have an upside down, backwards, inside out birthday party for Anna for a while. Anna will be 6 this year so my friend Lisa thought this would be a great year to have it! Six year olds love this silly kind of stuff. I was excited for the challenge of creating a one of a kind birthday invitation. Lisa brought me a poem that she wanted included. We talked a little about the layout, and I was off to create. Here is what I came up with....
