And the RACE IS ON! by Addielie
A small glimpse into our bedtime routine. Sebastian loves to win and Jeremiah loves to be just like his big brothers, so
Cue the Booming Voice
“And the race is on to see WHO will get ready for bed the fastest! Will is be Sebastian or will it be Jer-e-mi-ah? THE RACE IS ON!!!
”Sebastian has the early lead heading up the stairs but Jeremiah is following closely behind. It’s going to be a tight race!
“Both boys still need to brush their teeth, wash their face and go to the bathroom! Then they both need to get in their pyjamas!
”The race is on and it’s neck and neck as both Sebastian and Jeremiah are brushing their teeth. Sebastian is going to the bathroom while Jeremiah washes his face and then they will switch positions!
“It’s a tight race here in the Otto Upstairs tonight as Sebastian and Jeremaih both wan to be the first ready for bed! They’ve both cleaned their teeth and faces and used the toilet and now it’s time for pyjamas. Jeremiah has earned parental help in this event as he is racing against his bigger brother. Who is going to win? It’s too close to call. Sebastian has his shirt on and Jeremiah has his pants. It all comes down to this! Who will it be? They are on the final leg of this bedtime routine race! And the winner is...

A Winter Sunset by scrapping4him

CindyT's gorgeous LO Best Friends is so deserving of a scraplift and I'm glad Lauren chose it for her Gimme a Copy Challenge. I paired up two challenges with my LO, also using Lauren's stunning Beside the Pond kit to scrap this sunset photo taken from our porch.
LO Notes:
1) I duplicated the bayou bg paper and flipped one copy vertically, then used a gradient mask to utilize both dark portions for my backdrop paper
2) I set the basic black filled border on the worn_wood_green bg papers to a soft light blend mode
3) I duplicated the cardboard frame, setting the top copy to a color burn blend mode, then duplicated this set for a second set of frames
4) The fill for the cardboard frames is a blending of two mill_pond papers and another copy of my photo (color burn and soft light blend modes)
5) The little bit of added color to the leaves was done using the sky portion of my photo clipped to the dried_foliage and set to an overlay blend mode, then masks to bring in the color to the edges

In the Meadow by Leea
This layout is a scraplift of CindyT's Best Friends layout
for Lauren's Gimme A Copy Challenge Round 3.
In Texas this year, it's hot and dry, and the bluebonnets just didn't do well...but last Spring, they were beautiful. We had the most bluebonnets I can remember here (years of planting seeds and wishing) and I took lots of photos. This photo was taken with the camera timer on...actually got back and in place in time
This layout features these kits by Lauren:
Sheltered Meadow
Carolina Blues
Dresden Blues
Spring Fresh Value Collection
some re-coloring and re-sizing done. The swirly element was a lot of fun to play with...moving it around, re-sizing, rotating, and adding the butterly to it. Beautiful kits to work (play) with

Cherry Chocolate Value Collection by Lauren Bavin
December Red Rose by Leea
Roses bloom a long time in Texas, right into December and the weather usually isn't really cold until January in the part of Texas where I live, but sometimes the cold weather catches us and the roses by surprise. This is one of my favorite photos of my Don Juan Roses taken in December several years ago.
This layout is for Lauren's Gimme More Copies Round 3 and is a scraplift of CindyT's layout
and features Lauren's Winter Solstice Value Collection:
Some re-sizing and re-coloring done and a metallic edging added behind the frosty frame to highlight it against the paper strips layered under the photo and frame.
Playing with the snow swirl element, I like how it looks placed with the silvervine element...together they kind of look like a soft image of a heart swirl to me.
Family Desire by teetopper

Alcazar Castle lah by Leea
This layout is for Lauren's Gimme a Copy challenge round 3 and is a scraplift of CindyT's layout:

Alcazar Castle, Spain
A few years ago, my husband had a business trip to Spain, and took me along A highlight of the trip for me was getting to go to Alcazar Castle. I've read this castle, with it's blue roofs and beautiful towers is the inspiration for one of Disney's castles.
I took lots of photos in Spain, several were of the castle. We drove around and found some roads where the castle could be seen in the distance.
This layout is for Lauren's Gimme A Copy Round 3 and features her kit, Ceylonese Sapphire:

This kit was probably one of the first kits I bought when I joined DSP, it is so pretty The Sapphire border element is beautiful!
