here goes another one!

Well, honestly, I didn't plan on doing layouts all day long, but that is what happened lol! I guess I need to learn to wait until the end of the day to post something so that I can just post them all together lol!!! If there are any of you who are actually reading this, I apologize for the amount of posts today!

Anyway, I found this template on Amy W's blog, and knew I needed to use it! My friend Robin got her kid's pictures done recently, so I told her I would make some pages for her.


So this first one I used the template, along with Papers from Hazy Summer by Vicki. The word art came from Bethany. This is Amber, by the way :)



OK, this second one I used various pieces from the DSO May color challenge kit. You can find the link to DSO on the right side of my blog. Oh, and the font I used is called ADAMN. I think it came on my computer, but I am sure you can google it and find it. And this layout features Amber, and her big brother Andrew. I will have another layout to add to this once I come up with something for Andrews pics.

Zoo page 3


This is made with the Laughing Zebra kit found at By God's Design. The photo was "chopped" using a slice up photo frame done by Red Leaf Digi Scrapping

This was a lot of fun. I needed to do a layout using the Laughing Zebra kit, to fufill my CT duties, and I hope I did ya proud Melanie!!


Zoo Layout #3

OK, this one is probably the most simple layout I have done, but I really like it. There was another picture I took, but it also had the other hippo in it- who was laying the opposite direction. I don't know about you, but I would rather not have a picture of a hippos rear in my scrap page, LOL!

So this is the last one of my zoo series I have done. The next ones I think will be of the zebras (finally get to use melanies cool kit for it) and the rhino and elephant. It is my goal to make an actual book with these, which is why I am doing it with only one animal per page.


Here's the layout of the hippo! I used Amara's Blue romance kit to make it.




Zoo layout #2

OK, so I am playing more with the clipping tool. I am not completly sure that I like this one (would appreciate your input). I mean, well I just don't know- lol!!

I used the ocean sunrise kit by myangel236, although I did recolor it to match the pictures better.

So, here you go.... let me know what you think!

New layout

So I just finished reformatting my computer :(

Got the blue screen of doom. It was a horrible weekend for me. I won't bore you with the details, but I DO want to show you my newest layout, made with the "Imagine" Kit over at Sentimental Style. I loved working with this, and I hope you like the layout!

My CT intro pages




So... I am a CT for not one, but two designers. I haven't done anything with either of them yet but make an intro layout, so I thought I would share them with you.

This first one is for Melanie, over at By God's Design
The layout was made with her grab bag.



The other one I made was the intro for Sally over at Winged Heart Ohio



This was made with her Eileen B kit, which is available on her blog.

And to finish it off, and to give you as lil more info about me in general, here is the bio I gave to Sally to introduce myself to all of you...

Hi, I'm Dawn! I live in a suburb of Toledo, Ohio, and just turned 30 on May 7th. Other than digi scrapping, I co run a gaming league on pogo.com.When I am not on the computer I am at church. I am extremely involved at my home church. I do all the media-related stuff. I volunteer at the church office twice a week, helping out wherever needed. One thing that perhaps makes me unique in regard to digital scrapbooking is that I am legally blind. Because of that, I am on disability and unable to work (that goes along with a wide gamut of other health problems) I feel that being visually impaired should not necessarily have to limit what I am able to do. Sure, it may take a little longer than usual to complete a layout, but I feel that the end result is comparable to other layouts that are out there. Now granted- I am rather new to the world of scrapbooking digitally, but I think I am getting the hang of it. I learn very fast, and love a challenge. I am so thrilled that Sally has decided to take a chance on this newbie, and I hope to get to know all of you better in the months to come!!!
