A few more layouts

I wanted to post a few more layouts for you today. Everything was created with the new June Kit. :)

A couple of beauties by Leda.

Loving her color combination in this one.



Oh the blending in this one is so pretty! I think she used the cluster frame in the kit. This page is just so sweet.



Here's one by me. hehe. It's my little cousin that I only get to see once a year or so. The template is by Lynne-Marie.

Some recipes!

I didn't post much on the recipe exchange. The only rule we set was make it a square layout. It doesn't matter if you use the picture of the item or layout style, no rules! :)

Here are some to add to your recipe collection. :)
Our recipes will have an international flair as we are from around the globe.

I will be adding to this post throughout the week as new recipes come in!

Please email me your recipes to ptonscraps@gmail.com so I can add it to our collection!

Recipe Exchange Challenge

My team and I are working on a little group recipe exchange. So in the coming days, I will be posting different recipes (from all around the world) on here. So the challenge this week is to create a recipe page for yourself. :)

My bad!

* expired *

I am so sorry everyone. There was this huge collaboration FREE kit from ScrapbookGraphics designers for the The Daily Scrapper ezine. But I was on vacation and MIA from my blog so I completely missed the deadline to post the info for my blog readers. *hanging head in shame*

All I can do is offer my contribution for you.

I'm going to leave this up for a couple of days only.

The template (a few posts earlier) will be available through the month of May though.

More Layouts

I couldn't wait to show you this. Well first of all, Kristi, your photography rocks! I really liked how she used the month dates (which is included in the May kit) and turned it into a desktop type layout. So pretty huh. Well, I love all of her layouts. Kristi, if you're reading this, you don't give yourself enough credit, and you're a big inspiration to me. :)



Here's another gorgeous layout by Vanilla. She has a great eye for color and the photo she chose goes so well with the papers.



Here is a gorgeous one by Tammy. Isn't it a perfect Mother's Day picture? :)



Lilja created this totally sweet one. Love the soft tone of it.

Hybrid Flowers

I found this really cool tutorial by Patricia Komara on the SBG blog today. Check it out! Click on the images to be redirected. There are step-by-step instructions.

CT Guesting

So I am guesting for Pixel Canvas this month. I am a huge fan of Vinnie Pearce so it's quite an honor for me. Plus it's always nice to be forced to scrap sometimes. :)

I created a couple of layouts for her. The earth one is not really working for me. I think it must be because of the shadows. One is more 3d yet it is on flat objects. So I am going to have to rework that. Nonetheless, they were so fun to create.



This is a photo of my dh and ds. They are staring out into the ocean at sunset. I really love it.

I struggled with this layout. It still does not feel right. I don't think I've made a layout without a photo before. Smile

I actually finished one set of a birthday layouts for my older son. I am so happy about it too!! Thanks to Kitty Chen and Vera Lim. Have you seen Vera's It's My Day collection? I think it's one of my all time faves. Kitty's Birthday kit is also really cute!

What I can remember
- Cindy Schneider
- Vera Lim's It's My Day The whole big kit. LOVE this kit!


Here's a mini hybrid project. By the way, don't put jelly beans in these jars. You can't take them out! I replaced them all with mini M&Ms. LOL.


I am getting ready for my baby's 2nd birthday party. He wants a dinosaur themed party and I am happy to comply. Smile

I used Tracey Monette's Dinosaur Doodles. These doodles were simply adorable and great quality. I am so happy with them!

I also used Vera Lim's It's My Day. This has to be the cutest birthday kit. I am so happy with it. There are whimsical, doodley elements, as well as realistic ones. For someone as confused with style and wanting it all, it's just perfect. The word art is just amazing too.

A couple of elements are from Lorie Davison's and Kitty Chen's Sweetheart Collaboration Kit, a totally cute kit!

The template is from www.wilton.com. It is the love potion favor. The jelly beans look cute in the bottle and I didn't have too much trouble putting them in. However, I could not take them out. So I'm going to have to buy some mini M&Ms. Smile

This is not a layout. It's just the labels I printed.

Oh a new set of quick pages I just love! I found this photo of my younger son the other day. I forgot I even took it! But boy was I happy to find it.
