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!

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 kit: Beside the Pond by Lauren Bavin wordart: Photographers Essentials Mega Kit by DSP Designers font: Times New Roman

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	Cottage blues by Happybeingamom Lauren picked out this gorgeous LO by CindyT for us to lift I want t o thank Mars, GailS, mcbowersox and PQ for helping me pick out a kit for my photo. I used Cottage Blues Value Collection by Lauren Bavin it was perfect.	Birds of a feather by just-pjz This is for Lauren's fun Gimme a Copy Challenge 3. This is inspired by/lifted from the GORGEOUS layout, Best Friends by CindyT. Thanks!! 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 This page is for Lauren's latestGimme a Copy challenge. This challenge features Cindy T's Best Friends layout. The challenge is simple. Lauren chooses a layout, you lift it, link it to her challenge, and for every ten entries she will draw for a free kit! This layout is my DH's Mother and her family in 1945.

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!
