Mag’s Graphics – S’more Snowmen

Mag's Graphics - S'more Snowmen

This kit is so much fun with lots of all the great little S’more snowmen.  The colors are perfect for any kind of winter layout you might have planned.    I picked this kit up for free as part of the Quick Page Challenge Game at DigiScrap Station.  If you would like to get this kit for yourself as well as all the other 8×8 Quick pages check out the Challenge HERE.  I also created a 12×12 Quick Page that you can get by clicking the image below.  And I know that I have the kit name wrong on the preview but I playing lazy and didn’t fix it.

Quick Page 12x12 Version here - Go to challenge for 8x8 version.

 

I also used this great kit to complete a double page layout of our annual trip to Florida Flywheelers for the annual Lighted Christmas Event.  This event is always a lot of fun and we have been going every year.  Every year they add more things and make changes to accommodate the growing crowds.  I kind of miss being able to walk around the village but I could see where that would be almost impossible now.

Andrea Gold – Just Because

Just Because Bundle by Andrea Gold

 

This kit on first look would give the appearance of being perhaps a bit girly but the bold colors made it work well for a layout featuring my son as well.

Statues - Hayden - Left - 2005

I did a two page spread of our day to see the statues and visit the Barnett Park – March 20, 2005.  These two pages are both for Hayden’s Album.  The first page uses Andrea Gold template 375 and features the fonts Kristi and Glass Gauge.  This page features Hayden playing around and being silly with the statues themselves.
