step into the forest

Inspired by 2 Sketches 4 You: Sketch 35. Urmmmm… I think this challenge is to use the sketch to make cards. Well, I loved the sketch and remembered this photo so I created a scrapbook layout instead. =)

My kids playing in the kitchen cabinet.

Kyle is not too happy that his sisiter has taken over the spotlight.

Heeheehee. I just LOVE~ adding cutesy stuff to my kids’ photos. Here, Bailey is carring a plastic bag full of apples. But, I covered it with Jolee’s ghost sticker.

I’ve never believed in my color printer. I have HP Officejet Pro K550. It didn’t print well. I mean, it printed the black and white very well, but not the colors. So I used this color printer mainly to print black and white documents, urmmm… like Michael’s and A.C. Moore coupons.

Well, it wasn’t the printer’s fault. I was using the wrong kind of papers! After reading TheDigiChicks blog, I bought Epson Premium Presentation Matte Photo Paper. And, oh boy oh boy~! Did it make a difference! I have about, urmmm… over 2,000 digi papers, so I’ll be printing a lot of those from now on!

Bailey is eating a rice cracker. Kyle took the photo.

And, I switched the rice cracker with sweet orange slices, heehee.

Stamps: Citrus Sets and Bubble-ma-jig from Purple Onion Designs.
I was mesmerized by Kim Teasdale’s creations using Tombow markers, I gave it a try. And I colored the edges with markers (the technique I learned from Purple Onion Designs’ blog).

Base green cardstock: Prima Marketing Rock on Rock Out Collection;
Digital patterned papers: Sugar Maple and Sweet Pea kits by Cory Gammon from ScrapArtist.com;
Coloring: Tombow markers with BrusH2O on Canson Watercolor 90lbs paper

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t know why I spend more time preserving memories than playing with my kids. They are the cutest things that I ever created, heehee. Seems like I reminisce about how adorable they were than fully enjoy the moments I spend time with them. I would die for them, but would not sacrifice my stamping time? *sigh* I’m not a good mother.
