Messy Text Templates by Photo Cowgirl

Well first off, Happy St. Patrick's Day! We are indeed Irish and to celebrate the festivities, we are having mostly green food toady. And hopefully a little craft. To celebrate here's my St. Patrick's Day Page. The template was from Photo Cowgirl. I LOVE her templates, they make me do stuff I otherwise wouldn't be doing. After a while, I'm hoping some of it wears off into my style.

IRISH EYES
Here's the template pack. As usual it's a 4 pack. I didn't have time to do more than one. I should be slowing down with the nice weather approaching.

SS and Chitter chatter

First some chitter chatter, since it is 6:30Am and I am awake after only sleeping for 2hrs, I figured I would finally update this thing (explains why this is being updated). It really is a job and it seems as though I should get paid for it lol. It's a Sunday morning and I have yet to do the bulletin. You can see where my priorities lie. It's been windy and rainy here for awhile but at least the last of the snow is melting and Corey can finally see his bike.

This week is St. Patrick's Day and I have a whole menu planned. Breakfast shall start with Green eggs and pancakes. My husband insists we need ham lol. Lunch, I was thinking ham with green mac and cheese and green mashed potatoes. And for supper, a 'real' Irish and dumpling stew.

I've been inspired to cook and clean more since joining Jen Grahams two new groups on facebook; #speedclean and What's for dinner? Makes cleaning actually fun =)

And now for a few pages I've made over the past 2 weeks. They are ones that I didn't have to make for any kind of requirement and therefore better showcase who I am.

This is my beautiful Niece Gabby from Valentines 2009. She's so precious. Did I mention, she's going to be a Big sis? Her mommy, Michelle is expecting 3 days before Isaiah's birthday. Should make for an interesting party. Not that I'm complaining but something else to do in Oct! Jeeish! I'm sure October will be filling up even sooner now. 8th-Dad and Grace, 25th-Baby Butz, 28th-Isaiah. Not to mention, Fall festivities, Halloween and some anniversaries.

Sorry So off track here. So this was a SS (shocker I know), at Digi Scrap and Dive with Mandy Mane. I used Digi Design Resorts Feb Collab kit. With Love always. I got it for FREE for only doing 6 challenges!!!! Works for me. Now I'm working towards some eye candy at Scrappity Doo Dah.


This was from another SS. I can't remember where lol. I Think Ginger Scraps. We visited the Crayola Crayon Factory in February.
I used..
Side Walk Chalk by Just so Scrappy
Alpha and dot spatter *both recolored-Childrens Day by Amy Sumrall
Font-Chalk Dust
I know this isn't a page but I just wanted to show you the pic in which the next LO was done. I LOVE how it turned out.

Another SS, with Photo Cowgirl at GS. See how nice and clean he was? I just wanted to show that I did put some time and effort into the dirt on his skin and the shadowing. My current goal is shadowing and really nice boy LO's.
I used...
Junkyard Scraps by Holliewood (click her blinkie at the right)
Dirt in flower pot-A Nature's walk by Mandy Mystique's
Holliewood is my new most favorite designer. MUST figure out a way to get her kits cheaper. They are $6.50 a piece.

What's new?

Check out these awesome templates from Photo Cowgirl. Anyone can make a great page, even me! They are called Like 'Em Big. I love how the photo is the main focus. Kind of brings me back to what real scrapbooking is all about. Not just making a pretty page to sell but securing memories.


This is my Cosine, Ammie a few years back. The photo was taken by her sister Nikki. She takes the most amazing photos!
I used Photo Cowgirls I am worth it. I usually have to use another kit for greens, which I NEED with flowers.

I really hate this LO. I do LOVE the template but not fond of the kit for it.

Here's Helly's latest kit: Give me wings

Here's what I did with it. I used Gracie, Isaiah BF to create this page. Dana took this photo of Grace in a hamper and when I saw the trunk, this is the first photo I thought of. Please note that the heart scatters were created out of an element in the kit and not actually apart of it.

Here's my LO I've done with it. I also did my blog with this LO and hope to have it figured out soon. I used buttons from Helly's other kits. 2/3 Alphas were from other designers.

PhotoCowGirls opened her store at Ginger Scraps

Be sure to pick this template up for fee at the GS store.

Here is PhotoCowGirls Room to journal template pack. Click the preview to buy ;)
Here is the layouts I did the the templates so far. There is one I have yet to do. If you want to look at them in her store just click on the preview.

On this template I used Jeanette Bollinger's Piggy Panic. It's a great kit for sicknesses and that dreaded Swine flu. The flowers and leaves are from Jeanette's All the Elements.
This one is of my son playing in the mud this past summer at a Youth retreat.
I used A+ Designs-Puddle Jumping and Mandy Mystique's-A Nature Walk. The hand print from A Nature walk was altered.

This is my cousin at her wedding June 2005. I took the photos. I used a kit by Graham Like the Cracker called Letters to Juliet. The greens were from Jeanette Bollinger's-All the Elements kit. This is one the BEST Christian kit I've ever seen! I am with you (click the preview I keep getting an error)

This is Isaiah and myself at his dedication when he was 2 months old.

My father in law took this photo of Isaiah. The pastor was praying over him with his hand on his head and still one of my most favorite photos! He captured the essence and sweetness of Isaiah. If you ever have the joy of meeting him, Sweetness just rolls off of him. Oh and the 'journaling' is a prayer that is on my bathroom wall that I try and pray every day for him. It's all taking my meager effort to bless my family, to make up for my wrong doings and protect and be there for him.Here the pages are together. Corey specifically requested they be together =)

Junior

Here is the latest Kit from Graham Like the Cracker-Junior
Here's my LO. What if... Kind of what if I drove a monster truck, flew to the moon etc. Isaiah loved seeing himself in the LO. Great kit. So much fun to play with.

You and me...
