| August 5th |
My mom just reminded me that I have a layout on the Designing With... calendar page for today. These photos were taken in Italy, oh so long ago (okay, so 3.5 years - before Harper, anyway.) I wonder where we'll go the next time we travel abroad -- or when that will be? So tell me, what vacations are you currently planning? Where would you love to go on a trip? Indulge my travel bug, will you?Labels: scrapbooking, travel |

| Talkative |
I did a layout a few months ago for Jessica Sprague's column in the August issue of Creating Keepsakes, which just landed in my mailbox last week. (Forgive the bad scan, will ya?) The layout includes a bunch of my favorite phrases that Harper uses (for example, she says "MMs," instead of "M and Ms." The last line, which you probably can't read from here, includes an excerpt of a daily conversation she would have with people we encountered while running errands:
Stranger to Harper: How are you?
H: Two.
Stranger: How old are you?
H. Good.
For some reason there's a disconnect whenever someone asks Harper how old she is. Now she's actually changed up her responses a bit so when someone asks how old she is she says, "Harper Kate." (When I try to prompt her by saying that they want to know her age she responds with "H.") The ONLY time you'll get a number out of her is when you happen to inquire with Cole, first, about how old he is (5). And THEN when you ask Harper the same question she'll say very matter-of-factly and in all seriousness: "Six."
PS. I forgot to mention that the thought bubble on the layout is from the digi kit found here.Labels: Harper, scrapbooking |

| on QVC today |
Just an FYI - Creating Keepsakes is selling a special HOF (Hall of Fame) kit on QVC today - the show is on currently until 11am (EST) as well as at 6pm this evening.
The HOF kit is super cool because each Hall of Famer who was asked to contribute to it actually got to design the pieces that went on their layouts. SO you just might be able to purchase something like this, for example, quite possibly designed by me.
ETA: looks like the kit is sold out...Labels: scrapbooking |

| advertisement |
I was flipping through the latest CK on Friday and came across this ad:
That's Miss Harper! The photo was taken late last summer, as she practiced walking by holding onto Daddy's hand and going around and around and around our backyard (with soft grass to break her fall.) She was not a confident walker and didn't start walking consistently until she was around 14 months old, but you can tell from the smile on her face that she was starting to get the hang of it. I love the memory that one little photo can jog in your mind.Labels: scrapbooking |

| Snapshot Savvy |
I was pleased to have been asked to write the Snapshot Savvy column on camera modes for the current issue of Scrapbooks, Etc. When the issue arrived in the mail I flipped through it locate the column and promptly showed it to my loyal audience.
When I pointed out Cole's picture to him he was IMMEDIATELY distracted by the colorful Sandylion ad on the opposing page and said, "I like this better, Mommy." Then he asked if he could be the boy playing with the train instead. 
Harper, of course, couldn't get past the fact that there was a "puppy doooog" on the cover.
So, that was that.
On a different topic, I have to say that I'm slightly less enamored with spring today considering that I was stung by a wasp on the back of the neck yesterday. I am thankful that it didn't sting the kids, since I'd just sat down on the back steps where the three of us usually hang out together to enjoy our afternoon snack on warm days. I'm also thankful that it wasn't a spider bite from one of the two poisonous spiders that reside in NC and are always lurking in the back of my mind.Labels: scrapbooking |

| Monday morning |
Whose boring blog is this, anyway??
Oh yeah, it would be mine...
Sorry about that!
Uncle Mark is still here.
Husband Mark came home yesterday.
My parents arrived yesterday as well.
Sooooo, it's a tad bit busy. : )
But, to prevent staleness, a layout share.
The one of Harper is in the July CK, and the one of Cole is a scraplift....of myself...

| Ad challenge |
So the other day I was talking about that Lever ad, and I thought I'd show you another one of my favorites. This Ellen one is part of the "My life. My card" series by American Express, which features some great photos along with a questionnaire that the spokesperson has answered. Really, the Kate Winslet ad is my favorite, but of course the moment I went looking for it I couldn't find it (the whole ad, that is.) I did manage to find this photo from the ad on one of her fan sites, (although I have to admit I felt really weird lurking on a Kate Winslet fan site! But it's all for you, my dear readers, right??!)
SO ANYWAY, on Monday I was flippin' through an old issue of Entertainment Weekly (I think it was for the week of Dec 26th?) and I discovered a 6-page series of ads for the campaign. But even better than that was the fact that the last page of the series contained a blank questionnaire. Which I immediately ripped out to use for a scrapbook page, OF COURSE!
Instead of keeping the idea to myself, I thought I'd issue a challenge of sorts to you scrappers out there. There are lots of ways you can use an ad, and I'll share a few of my ideas here...
For example, you can take inspiration from the photo...
 (The AmEx ones were taken by Annie Leibovitz, by the way, and I asked Mark (who can do all things) to imitate the high-contrast, grainy appearance of the photo.)
Or you could use the questionnaire as a series of journaling prompts (heck, if you don't want to scrap 'em, just use them as your blog entry for the day:
Here's the list:
My name
childhood ambition
fondest memory
soudtrack
retreat
wildest dream
proudest moment
biggest challenge
alarm clock
perfect day
first job
indulgence
last purchase
favorite movie
inspiration
My life
My card (okay, you can skip that one)
So tell me, how would you interpret this ad? By all means, please don't let my ideas hinder your creativity! If you create a layout and post it, send me a link!
Oh, and if you're interested in my interpretation, you can view it here.Labels: scrapbooking |

| Desiging with Digital |
Warning: Publicity Ahead
Look at this!
Check out that cutie patootie in the bottom left-hand corner! *wink wink* What I like about this book is that it's a combination of digital scrappers and those of us who like to incorporate a few digital elements on our pages. A little somethin' for everyone, so to speak! Available for preorder now -- due out in October!

| Blog Keeper |
I call this my blog keeper - the front portion of the layout connects with the Autumn Leaves folder paper to form a real folder that stores blog entries I've printed from the computer. Just an idea I had to keep up with my "slice of life" blog entries that aren't necessarily scrap-worthy pages on their own...

| Calendar Boy |
Okay boys and girls, it's time to turn our calendars to APRIL. And you know what that means - yup, Cole's a calendar boy! Okay, I know, totally shameless self-promotion, but I recently rediscovered my 2005 CK calendar buried under a few pounds of cardstock (let me apologize to those scrappers I missed from Jan-March) and I thought I would hang it up in my scraproom and appreciate it. So this is a little view from my room. Happy April everybody!! May it bring more flowers than showers.Labels: scrapbooking |
