In All of the Excitement...

2008-04-29T20:10:00.000-07:00

In all of the excitement the other day about my first post, I forgot to post another layout I had intended to post my first time out... So, at the risk of going backwards... This layout is done with the special kit Cole provided us as members of her CT. I believe I used every single element in her kit! She also provided us with a template - which I also used!

And then, I have another layout today for you from Nicole's Coffee. This will probably seem like I'm going backwards, too! hehe This layout is more of the nuts and bolts behind my Family Picture layout I posted the last time. The font is GiddyUp.

You can get this excellent kit, Nicole's Coffee at any of Nicole's Stores. Here's your links to hook you up!

Have fun with this fabulous find!

Felicia's Monkey Love Kit

2008-04-26T20:34:00.000-07:00

Here is my first LO from the Monkey Love kit . It also is the first LO I've made with Photoshop CS3. I have been using PSE5 so there was a bit of a learning curve for this but I muddled through. I really like this kit and can see so much versitility with it. I did use MFenwicks SeptemberAfternoon Alpha which really compliments the great kit by Nicolina. I'm adding my second LO made with the Monkey Love kit. It is the red and yellow one. This was a fun one to do. We took our youngest two grandsons to the city park yesterday for Soar into Spring day. We had a great time and the boys loved all the kites and games. ~Ann

Have a good one and come and buy some of these great kits.

Hello from the Texas Panhandle!

2008-04-26T18:29:00.000-07:00

Well, I've finally been able to grab a few moments to log on and introduce myself and show off some of Cole's fabulous designs in the process!

My name is Melanie Morales - you will come nearer to recognizing my name in the digiscrap world as bygodsdesign. I am married to Kevin and we have two young children who star in many of my layouts: Kade who is 3 and Maycie who turned one yesterday (Friday)... Hmmm... That birthday sounds familiar! Yes! She shares a birthday with Cole's son who is one year ahead of her! Oh, and for the pet lovers out there - I always get into trouble when I leave the pets out. We have Tabby (he came with the very unoriginal name) - a cat way past his expiration date and then a schnauzer/border collie mix named Chaucer.

I am a stay at home mom and I hire out to do a variety of work on the side. Anyway, I have been digi-scrapping for over 2 years and designing since the fall of 2007. I started designing out of necessity for my Scrap for Hire business since I could not afford licenses for commercial use in the industry at that time. However, I probably love working with other designer's work more than my own. I don't know why. Maybe it's like eating someone else's cooking - it just tastes better because you're not the one who did all the work - hehe. I was so excited to find out I would get to be "green" when Cole contacted me about the CT position.

I grew up in the Texas Panhandle just north of Amarillo in Dumas, TX. I have also lived in Lubbock and Round Rock (Austin) TX. I love Amarillo. I also love the digital scrapbooking community - I feel like you are family. I have made so many wonderful friends in the short amount of time that I've actually been posting in galleries, forums, etc.

So, anyway, time to share my layout with you. The journaling tag line is: "Families can stick together as long as there is Photoshop!" My son does not cooperate with photo sessions much at all. Most of my pictures of him are action shots - he's always on the go. So, when we needed a family picture for a special event this past Spring, we had to stage this picture. I set the tripod up and marked the sofa where we'd sit. I took a picture of Kevin and Kade (and as you can see, he still wasn't still) and then Kevin got the shot of me and Maycie and I merged the pictures in Photoshop. wala! Morales Family Picture!

I am privileged enough to use Nicole's Coffee kit for this layout. I loved working with the textures in her backgrounds and elements. The color combination is so fun! The other credits I have is the bling heart on the photo frame from Kirsty. I did use a glitter action from Atomic Cupcake for the frame. The title is in a font called Guilty. The journaling font is Freestyle Script. I used a style from Mari Liess on the title.

That's all for now - but I should be back soon with more!

Welcome!

Welcome to my Creative Team's blog! I can't wait to see them fill it up with their beautiful layouts, and I'm a little nervous to see what they'll write about me and my products! LOL I'm sure they'll be kind.

I have invited some lovely scrappers to assist me in my designing endeavors. We'll all be getting to know each other over the next few days and weeks, so I'll just do a brief intro with names for now, but more about them will be posted on my regular blog real soon!

A big welcome to Andrea, Angie, Ann, Helen, Lisa Jo, Melanie, Michelle, and Misty! Thank you ladies so much for being here with me!
