Sorry folks, I was away from the computer all weekend! My little 2-year-old munchkin decided tonight you're all winners. Uhhh... Well, those who said hey! Let them eat cake, she said! Ok, maybe she didn't but I can't understand a lot of things she says lately. See, you'll never know what you'll get unless you try. You shall get e-mails from me in the morning! It's almost 3 am. I am physically shutting down! Late!
So I've been wanting to do this baby kit like in forever, and it's finally done. And, it's loaded! Ever so soft, delicate, gentle... spoiled... That's what babies are, and that's what Silver Spoons is all about! Packed with 16 gorgeous papers and over 50 unique elements (some with shadows) with a silver alpha and numeral set (including Scandinavian letters), you are ready to spoil your little one, or two, as some elements are especially for your twins. Babies are great for spoiling, but why stop there? Spoil yourself with this ultimate must-have baby kit!

And lastly, a few from me
Kalea just a couple days old
Kalea, my sunshine buttercup (with various elements from CatScrap designers)
Baby Kalea again a couple days old... She still sleeps like that, with her arms wide open like that hands beside her noggin.
Just had to come back this morning to share these gorgeous lovelies with y'all!

Remember Eh? Moment #1? (haha!)
Off to Disneyland again. Late!
My bestest friends have seen me at my worst when I threw up 10 seconds from New Year's Day back in 1997. They've seen me at my best as I wed the love of my life in 2003. And they've seen me at my worst AND best minutes after I gave birth to Kalea.
Truly good friends are hard to find, so I hang on to the ones I've got. As we get older and continue to live our lives on different paths, we spend less time with each other. But when we get together, it's as if time stood still during the times apart, and we are back 'in the moment.'
A designer friend at CatScrap and an amazing designer, Lynn-Marie is our guest and has joined our circle of friends at Two Little Pixels. I am pleased to introduce a collaboration between Lynn-Marie, [ksharonkdesigns], Angelica E., and myself... Circle of Friends, available now!

Now go and celebrate your friendships, and come back and share them with me! Have a wonderful TGIF day y'all!
I cannot even begin to describe to you the wonderful feeling of joy I had in creating the new Swell Set. Ok well, the creating part was a lot of work, but using it after was pure joy! This whole idea came about from some random polaroids I have above our bed that I shaped into a heart. You can scrap random photos, that's what I did. And I wanted to show that by different colorations on the photos. At first I was like, crap. How am I going to do a layout with 31 photos, I can hardly ever do one with two. So I thought it would be hard, but it turned out to be the most fun I ever had with a layout. Plus, I get to add little fun random bits I don't get to use often.
31photos! It was a wonderful feeling to look back just a month or so ago and sort through the photos. It didn't matter if the photos were great or bad, I just picked the ones that made me remember certain moments, and I journaled about each day in the background very subtle in white. I hope you guys have fun with this one, cause this was absolutely the most fun I've had making a layout. You can get totally creative with the templates. Try one photo in multi frames, use papers instead of photos, don't use the frames, endless possibilities!
You just really need to grab some munchies, coffee or whatever, sit back, scrap, and have a good time. You won't realize how fun it is until you're actually doing it and looking back on those daily moments you luckily captured on camera. It's very relaxing and theraputic for me. A lot of times we don't get to scrap the 'littler' details, and this will allow you to do that.
I spent hours creating it; you can spend minutes! So here it is Swell Set No. 2.
Whether or not you're doing a-photo-a-day projects, Swell Set No. 2 is a must-have if you want to save time. More than just a template, this set includes: 4 Swell pages in 28/29/30/31-day formats; 4 layered tiff templates in 28/29/30/31-day formats; 3 staple papers; and over 30 versatile elements.
Quick, Easy, and Swell!
It's quick. Use the quick pages for a beautiful layout in a snap. Just slide your photos behind the png layer, and you're done!
It's easy. Use the layered template to change the papers or move around the elements. Simple instructions on the layers are easy to follow! Just slide your photos below the numbered frame layers for perfectly framed and masked photos!
It's swell. Reuse the papers and elements to create more layouts. The possibilities are endless!
Available now at Two Little Pixels and CatScrap!
Look at all the fun my girls had!

by Tali ~ I just love looking at photos of Tali's children, aren't they adorable?! I love Ella's look-at-me pose!

Lastly by me, January with my spunky girl Kalea... Life is good.
