Templates number 8 + 0

Heips,
I finally had time and motivation to finalize my next templates - number 8 and matching 0.
Font used: Bookman Old Style (format: Bold)












I wasn't able to find free version of this font, it seems to be commercial font. I'm not sure have I got it with one font CD or is it belonging to standard font package.
As always, I would love to see what you have created with my templates :o)

Have fun and leave some love if you like it.
Happy Scrappin'

Freebie Valentine Kit: Carved in Stone

Heips

I started creating this kit last September, but middle of doing it I lost the idea, the motivation. So I dropped it, until Friday this week. I got a new program and started testing it, somewhere I got this idea of trying different things with hearts. I just put all these tests and old stuff together and here is my Valentine kit for you.

Meeri's 7th birthday

Meeri is now officially 7!
Our birthday present to her was earrings: golden with pink diamonds. We took her to this jewellery shop, where they made holes to her earlobes and she was able to pick up the earrings she liked most.

I'm sharing some of the birthday party photos with you. Theme was really success, all our relatives liked it and specially the Skull Cake. No piece was left from it, it was totally eaten.
I found really great page of skulls, which had this skull paper model and we hang couple of those to lamp above the table.
Skull a Day

I used Valarie's Simple Inspirations 4 - Happy Birthday kit for this LO. I just love the colors.
You can get it from Color Line Design and Been There, Scrapped That.

Kit: Your Special Day

Heips,

Today is my oldest daughter 7th birthday. I can't believe how fast years have gone by. It feels like she was just born and now she is already 7. Before I realize she will be a teenager! Huh!
Here is the photo, which we sent to our local news paper.
And guess what is the theme of her Birthday Party?
Princess Skull!!!!
It really took some time to adjust to this theme, where did all princess and fairy stuff disappeared? And it really wasn't easy to find some stuff for the party. Those skulls are not so popular here in Finland. So we just had to be creative and do most of the stuff by ourselves, now we have house full of all kind of skeleton stuff :o)
And about invitation, she wanted to have picture where she is inside the mouth of the princess skull. I have to admit that it was the most hilarious photoshooting ever, when we were trying to take a picture for invitation. She was making so funny faces that I just couldn't stop laughing and most of the photos were out of focus because I couldn't stand still.





















































My new freebie kit: Your Special Day, is created specially for her. She loves bright colors and she is such a lively and outgoing person. It is mainly containing all kind of number stuff because of the birthday theme. I hope you like it.

And don't worry, those missing templates will be published soon. I just haven't had time to finish those yet.

Happy Scrappin'

Valarie's CT Call

Layouts with Valarie Ostrom Desings kits

Heips

Wow, it is year 2009 already. I really cannot believe it, where did year 2008 disappeared?
I have suddenly noticed that time goes by REALLY quickly, specially since I got my children. It feels like Meeri was born just couple of weeks ago and now she is going to have her 7th birthday already this month. Scary.... because all of this means that soon I'm going to have my own birthday ~ and I'm going to be 40!!!!

Well, enough rambling... I have lot of things to show to you. I have spend some great moments with Valarie Ostrom's kits. I belong to her CT, remember ;o)
I'm really happy with these LO's, specially the one I did to Roni, our godson. I totally love the alpha&numbers Valarie has created for the kit.
All these kits are available at Color Line Design. The shop is having a makeover, so the site is still down, but should be up and running within couple of days. But meanwhile enjoy and start making your own shopping list.

Happy Scrappin and HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!!

LO: Roni's 10th birthday

Our godson Roni had his 10th birthday last July.
He is a huge fan of Disney Cars movie, so we gave him the DVD and several small cars - all gift wrapped individually.

He is very dear to us and he was born at the same year we got married.
His mom (my best friend) was my maid of Honour and very heavily pregnant on our wedding day at April.

LO: My new smile

Meeri lost another teeth at 10th of September and of course I had to memorize her new smile with my camera.
I really had fun with those staples, it felt similar as in real life. LOL

Template number 6

I have got several emails about my templates and questions when will I post new ones. Here is number 6. This was actually the first template, which I created. My oldest daughter Meeri had her 6^th birthday on January and I made this page for her.

I’ll continue creating these number templates; I still haven’t done numbers 7, 8, 9 and 0’s. So stay tuned, more templates are on their way to be posted here.

Enjoy!

Template number 10 = 1+ 0

It is time to announce next number template. This time it is a number 0, which is a pair with number 1 template.

This template has a special meaning; it was created for remembrance of Dae Hon.
He was 10 years old boy, who earned his angel wings on 1^st of May 2008.

I got an email from his grandmother who wanted to make scrap page of him, which says Forever 10. Unfortunately I can’t write English so well and don’t know how to write my feelings into words. But this story touched me so much. This is especially for you; Dae Hon. I’ll remember you.

Hugs
