The little girls are so cute, and I so badly wanted to make a hybrid and print out some paper dolls for the kids to play with, the dresses and the shoes are so cute! My layout (template by JewelScraps):
Cheri also released this beautiful kit called Blush:
Here is my layout (no template, yay me! and word art by the fantabular Kathy Winters - to get the effect I duplicated the background paper layer, used the WA like a clipping mask and added a shadow).
I also turned my layout into a QP (I'm really late in posting this so my apologies to Cheri!):

Next up I need to show you the word art pack that is in the above layout and I mentioned in my last post, Kathy has this set up in her store, and I absolutely love it. I'm finding so many new ways to use word art, and have been playing with textures and special effects, here is her Memories Made word art pack:
I also used this word art pack on the layout I did for Vicki's new kit, Boy's Club:
My layout (template by jayedid designs) and word art by Kathy Winters of course! I recolored the word art and added some effects (don't ask me now which ones as I'll never remember!! I just play til I like the look of it and then save it!)
I also did a second one using the alpha from the kit:
Mel released this really fun, summery kit called Jive:
My layout (template by Janet Phillips):
Makes me wish summer was here full on already! Sara also has a kit out this week and I really love it, all if it! It's called Fresh Flowers:
My layout (template by Crystal Livesay):
And my layout (template by Three Paper Peonies):
I always see these really simple layouts and love them, it's so hard not for me to put more elements on! SO there you have it. I hope now I'm all up to date! I probably won't be on here again before next week so have a great week and an even better weekend, may the sun shine wherever you are!!

And this one was Chase, just ecstatic that it was snowing {it was early October, so needless to say, I was not as overjoyed}.
And this one is my daughter, just being all cute and happy! Love these elements, and the photo mask! This layout used both kits.

This one is a crazy face I managed to get of Rayna when she was a month old, she looks like such a gnome, but I thought it was hilarious!! I used a new font I bought, I found it through the

And here is my first layout, I just love the alpha in this kit! Chase was playing with sidewalk chalk with my sisters kids on the driveway, and by the time they were finished with their art, they had it everywhere!! I used a template by 
This one I just love! I don't usually do layouts without photos, or that aren't about my kids! But this one is all about my love of books and reading. I used the

Here is one of the layouts that I did with it. I recolored the music symbol (sorry to all music buffs but I'm brain dead, which I blame on my children, and can't remember the technical term for that symbol...treble clef??!!). Anyways, back on point, I recolored it to be pink, as it was chrome to begin with. The "music" word art is from the alpha included in the kit (it's awesome!) and the font I used was

I used the triple frame and cut out a single frame for this one, recolored the glitter at the top of the blue page to match, and used the photo mask to create the brown splash behind the photo. I recolored the tag to match my layout, and the date font I used was 
This next layout I just love!! I love the photo mask (which I think may be offered as a freebie from 
And surprise!! With a little help from Cheri, I was able to turn this into a QP for you! The mask was a little bit more difficult for me but I think it turned out great! In the folder I included the page with the word art and without, so you can add your own text instead if you prefer. I know, I'm awesome like that :P
Here is a closer look at the word art I did. I used a font called Howser by Kevin and Amanda, and if you would like it, you can download it for free 
Here is a look at 
And here is what you came for! The Word art is in the same download as the quick page, but it is a separate png file so you are able to use it on any page you like. Click the image to download, the password is nirvana..jpg)
