Scrapbooking: More Happy Little Moments Sneak Peeks

Happy Thursday! Latrice here with a layout to share with you. I used mostly Crate Paper Maggie Holmes collection and flair from Ormolu with a couple tags. I love how the collections go with just about everything. The custom flair is some of my fave and the flappers are so fun too. Love stamping d...

Studio Calico Glee Club Kit Layouts!
Hi there! I wanted to share my layouts from the Studio Calico September Kits with you! I love the stamp from the main kit Glee Club!! It is adorable!! I used it on this layout: I sprayed the Pink Paislee Mistables ribbon from the Home Ec Add On Kit with Mister Huey's in Bluegrass and Bonny ...
thanks! on the baby doll layout I made two different banners.... for the smaller ones I just cut triangles from patterned paper. Then I used adhesive to put on the twine with the triangles over the top of the twine. To finish it off I stitched it down (along the top of the bannesr) with my sewing machine. For the larger one I used the American Crafts tags and I cut the triangle notches out of the bottom of each tag to make them look like the flags for a banner instead of just tags. Then I adhered them down first and again finished it off by machine stitching along the top. hope that helps!!
Studio Calico April Kit: Singin' in the Rain
Hi there! It's been a while! I have been bogged down with a horrible cold that I can't seem to shake! Not fun, but trying to get back into the swing of things!! I meant to post sneaks of my Studio Calico layouts and now here it is after the full reveal.... time flies!! Anyway, here are my layout...
I take pictures of my layouts and then I crop them to the exact size so that you can't see any background. I use photoshop but most photo editing software programs have a crop feature that would allow you to do the same thing. hope that helps!

Hi there! I dont think you would need to read another book. Just be familiar with where all the buttons on your camera are. The buttons to change things like iso, aperture, shutter speed. You dont need to know why to change them or what they do. Just how to change them. Does that make sense?
Also, yes you will learn how to meter and get the exposure (degree of lightness) that you prefer.

Lately I've Been.... Editing
The last few weeks I have been editing lots and lots of our personal photos. I took a TON of pictures of my kiddos up in Utah last year (in the summer and the fall) and sadly to say I am just now editing and printing them! Did I really admit that? Yes, I guess I did. You would think that I would...

Girls' Paperie CHA Layouts: Vintage Whimsy
This is the last of my Girls' Paperie layouts..... Vintage Whimsy! I can't get enough of this line.... It was so easy for me to use and the clear stamps are a dream!! I loved how each of the stamps are separate but they were super easy to "collage" together to create these little stamped vig...
