Defining Moments

I recently started scrapping with a kit called Defining Moments by Marni Designs and Brandy Designs and it is just so much fun. The colors are gorgeous and work for both boys and girls plus a whole range of other photos. Since I have a boy and a girl I try to find kits that will work for both of them. I also try to find kits that have elements besides flowers because I have hard time putting flowers on a layout for my son! This kit was great to play with. So far I've only made one layout but I can't wait to make more. Here's what her kit looks like.

Here's what my page looks like. I scrapped pictures of my son, Noah, when he was 4 months old and started grabbing things. It really looked like he was hunting keys. I think these pictures turned out great! My favorite part of the kit (so far) is the loopy ribbons with the stitching that I put on the side of the top right picture. I just couldn't wait to use them the minute I saw them! Aren't they fabulous?

Oops! I forgot to mention that this was done for a template challenge at Brownie Scraps. Although over there all their challenges have names that have to do with brownies or baking. I can't keep which challenge is which straight! I think the template challenge is called Semi Homemade Challenge. The template is by Leenie Lou Designs.

Be back later with other layouts from a kit by Marni Designs that releases on February 5th. I will have a freebie for you too! I may also have other news to share but I'm waiting on some final details. Stay tuned.
