Sister Digital Layout & Twitterpated Kit
It's been a long time since I made something other than just the weekly project for our blog hop. I'm finally feeling a bit creative so I thought I'd play with some new product. This is the new Twitterpated kit- isn't it pretty? And these cute girls are my friend Kristie's daughters. I took some photos of them in October that turned out great because they are so photogenic.

MDS Blog Hop: Something New (Project Life Week 1)
This week we are all about showing you something new on our blog hop! So I figured, I would try something new. My own version of Project Life! I will be (attempting) creating a layout for each week of the year. It will mostly include cell phone photos that don't usually end up on my other layouts. I'm being pretty flexible with it, not always going in Sunday-Friday order, and sometimes skipping a day if I don't have a picture for it. I want to be able to look back twenty years from now and remember what the day-to-day stuff of my life involved. I especially want to be able to tell Esper what it was like, transitioning into being a single mom. I want to be able to remember these special little moments I get to experience with her every day.
I copied a template I saw on a digital scrapbooking site. It was so easy to make my own template in My Digital Studio that I can use each week. Or I may switch it up and move the placement of everything, but for now I like the ease and cohesiveness of having each page look similar. The fun part comes in changing up the color scheme and products used. Today I used the new Day in the Life kit, which is a great one to use if you are doing your own Project Life book.
P.S. Check out the first picture where it looks like Esper is trying to discover her baby doll's gender. :)

MDS Blog Hop: New Product
The holidays are over so that means life can go back to normal now, right? I hope so. I'm excited to get back into the swing of things with the weekly blog hop. This week our challenge was to create a project using new product. This Simple Snapshot kit is great! You can earn it between now and April 30 by hosting a workshop (or ordering $150 worth of product). It comes with 15 Designer Series Paper Patterns, 32 embellishments, and a 22-piece stamp brush set.

MDS Blog Hop: Christmas Gift Idea
I actually have a project for you today! Aren't you excited? Tomorrow I will print these out on card stock and then I will use paint to put Esper's hand print on them. These will be Christmas gifts for her dad and her grandparents. I will put them in frames and then they can keep them on their desks or hang them somewhere. I got this idea on Pinterest of course.

MDS Blog Hop: Monochromatic
The theme picked for this week was to create a project using a monochromatic color scheme. I chose to create a layout about the day my daughter was born last year. And since all of my baby layouts about her tend to have soft, pastel colors I thought I would try something different and use Riding Hood Red.
Have you purchased the Flag punch yet? As you can see, it's my favorite and I use it on almost every layout I make.
I copied the text from the blog post I wrote about her birth story and pasted it into page two of this spread. I'm glad I wrote all these details down when they were fresh in my mind or I never would have remembered it all.
