November ScrapSwap

[Alishaw]

It's November 1st and time for another ScrapSwap. Those wanting to participate need to have their photos posted by 10:00 PM SUNDAY, NOV 4. We will have until 10:00 PM SUNDAY, NOV 11 to finish and post your layouts.
Here's how it works... You post a photo or group of photos with journaling, dates, labels etc that you want someone else to digiscrap for you. Whoever posts RIGHT BELOW YOU, downloads your photos (click on them to view and then right click to save) and scraps them with your details. Whoever is last, I'll do theirs.
Be sure to share only jpg files so we don't violate any copyrights.

Here are mine:

[Alishaw]

So-I'm kinda feeling badly...did last ScrapSwap go so horribly that no ones wants to do it again? did I say something wrong or offend anyone? or do you just hate my pictures so no one wants to post under me?

[Kim Hansen]

The green lights are still on and it's 11 PM. Alishaw, Don't feel bad. I'm just trying to round up some pictures. We have until tomorrow night don't we? Or is it tonight?

[Kelli West]

to tell you the truth Alishaw I am intimidated to do your pictures!Lol... your LO's are always so creative and cute, and mine, well not so much! I don't want you to feel bad, I just am a little nervous! I don't know as much! I will give it a try if you want! I just don't know what pictures I would want to post!....so i just want you to know that I think your pictures are so adorable and cute!

[Kim Hansen]

HEY! Does the time change tonight--it's only 10 then!

[Kelli West]

Hey Kim, you are sooo right! That means one extra hour of scrapbooking! Yay!!

[Kim Hansen]

OH NO Kelli, I just asked my husband, who said, "No, it's tomorrow night and you should be in bed snuggling with me."

[Alishaw]

He's LYING!!!

[Jamie Hamblin]

I swear something is up with my computer... Do you know the new thread thingy? Well mine never works and so I miss out on a lot of threads... Keith do you know how to fix that? I need to start looking for some pictures quick!

[Kelli West]

Yeah, cause i swear it's tonight! You better have a talk with that husband of yours!

[Kim Hansen]

You girls are so fun!!! NOW GET TO BED!! GOOD NIGHT it's 11:18. Sure had fun on this site tonight. Thanks for staying up late.

[Jamie Hamblin]

But he just wants to cuddle... so cute... My hubbby isn't lovy dovy and I have to make him cuddle it feels like.

[Alishaw]

Kelli-thanks I was getting worried! But you have nothing to shy away from! Your layouts are incredible! I hope no one feels that way really. Don't be afraid. We all have different styles and it's so fun to have a new perspective in my book. Last time, the bowling layout Jenny did for me is way more creative than I would have done with it! I was gonna use a couple similar colors and she found specific items to go with it and even made a pencil! It was ADORABLE!

[Kelli West]

by the way jamie I don't think I ever told you that those LO's that you did of you and are husband are so cute! and you two look so cute!

[Kelli West]

:pok, i will give it a try! How do i get your pictures to work with?

[Alishaw]

Use your extra hour to drum up some photos for us. I guess if no one plays I can just scrap my own and I'm no worse off than before. ;)

[Alishaw]

Post your photos next and then right click to save them. If the resolution is horrible when you size them to your page, I can email them to you.

[Kelli West]

ok, let me go find some photos! What is they best way to put my photos on here?

[Alishaw]

just attach them or I used www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com) and their IMG link.

[Kelli West]

ok here it is! I'm not sure the best way to load it, but whoever does it I will email you the picture!
Title: Our Family Tradition

[Jamie Hamblin]

Thanks kelli for your comment. You're so sweet! I know i need to find pictures too!

[Kelli West]

oh, the journaling fo rthe picture is
"It is the Schwartz family tradition for all the men to sing "We Three Kings"
or something like that! sorry it's not an exciting picture! Just the best i could decide on!

[Kelli West]

Any time Jamie! :)

[Jamie Hamblin]

Ohh I like that men tradition! I love that song!

[Jamie Hamblin]

Look I'm almost a superstar... I just realized that!

[Kelli West]

Hey congrats Jamie! or should I say "superstar"! I still have 70 more posts to go! But i can beat that in no time! CC

[Kelli West]

come on, just one more post Jamie and your there!

[A-to-Z]

Alishaw don't feel bad at all!! I'm sorry you felt that way...I want to do this...I just haven't posted yet, I honestly kind of forgot about it but I really do want to but I do feel nervous like Kelli West. But what the heck..here are my pictures :D...

Title - Downtown - Everything's waiting for you...

Journaling - Zach and I went downtown to see Peter Breinholt at Gallivan Plaza. It was my very first time riding TRAX! I was very excited. We had fun at the concert and Peter even played the song I knew from EFY!

Somewhere on the LO can whoever is doing mine put the time as:
"Summer 2007"

Thank you!!

p.s. if you need me to email you the higher res pictures let me know!

[April]

I'll take A-Z's pictures. they are way cute. Can you send me the high res pictures?

Jamie said she wanted to scrap the ones Keith took here:
http://forum.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/showthread.php?t=2229&highlight=hair

I don't want to hold things up for her to post though so if someone else posts first they can scrap them. Ha ha! Not like it's an honor or anything. I just mention that because Jamie called them on the other thread. They actually seem like kind of hard pictures to scrap. I'll send whoever does this the high res ones.

Also,

Do you know the new thread thingy? Well mine never works and so I miss out on a lot of threads...

Those new thread icons come up very last when the page loads so maybe you have to wait a couple seconds longer??

[Alyson]

I'm planning on playing along this time, I just haven't decided which pics to use yet. Jamie, I don't have a 'new thread' thingy, but I have a 'new posts' link I always click on. Maybe it's the same thing. It definitely helps me keep track of what is new since the last time I got online.

[Jamie Hamblin]

I think that's what is going on April... I'm like on speed on this forum! CC/lol
Yes! I'll take the hard hair ones! I totally forgot!

I think mine are kinda hard too, so sorry...

I couldn't decide if i liked B&W or color so whoeveris doing mine can pick!

Journaling: Beckham was loving the pots and pans and opening and closing the fridge, it's his favorite thing to do now whenever he's in the kitchen.(If you find a better quote ir saying USE it) I'm not good at journaling!

[Jamie Hamblin]

[Kelli West]

[Kelli West]

Jamie...you used CC! I LOVE it! It made me laugh!

[LucyLu]

I swear something is up with my computer... Do you know the new thread thingy? Well mine never works and so I miss out on a lot of threads...?

Jamie you need to make sure you are Logged in if your not you dont see the new threads option

[Alishaw]

Kelli-I love your men picture! It was taken at the perfect time-THEY DO GET INTO IT!!! ;)

[Kelli West]

oh, there are better ones, but my grandpa was making a face, and i thought it would be better to have his eyes open! You could actually see them swaying back and forth, then crashing tino my Grandpa who was in the middle! It's one of my favorites to watch! Quite hilarious i might say! :)

[A-to-Z]

Yeah I'll do your pictures Kelli!! Its a fun one!! Do you want me to do it in a Christmas theme?

[Kelli West]

yeah, do it in a christmas theme! This took place on christmas Eve! Thanks amy! :)

[LucyLu]

Jamie . Looks like i get to scrap Beckham again .. can you send me the hi res pictures via e mail..

Mine.. Christian stayed with Grandpa one friday and helped him work on the house. He helped to load wood into the truck and handed Grandpa the tools he needed. Grandpa said he was a really good worker. October 2007

[Kelli West]

allright! Here you go alishaw! I will email the High res. files to you! I hope you like them! What do you all think!? I can still change stuff if you think it needs anything! :)

[Kelli West]

oh, I didn't want to cram all the pictures on one page so I did two, I hope that is ok!

[A-to-Z]

Cute Kelli! Look at you go!

[Kelli West]

oh, i forgot to mention, EVERYTHING is from the MOODS cd! :)

[Kelli West]

except the sun isn't in it, i just made the sun myself from some paper in the moods cd! I was quite proud of myself! CC...

[Jamie Hamblin]

Cute Kelli! WOW you're fast! Yay dottie! I'm so excited!

[Kelli West]

i stayed up 1:30 this morning to get a lot done! then i put the pictures in when i woke up!

[Alyson]

Kelli, very cute! I love the sun, the sand letters, and the way you made the swirls look like waves. Great job!

[Kim Hansen]

KELLI--You need to be published!!! I love everything and the way you stacked the pictures on the first page looks like the ray of sun. I love the sand effects. GREAT PAGE! Maybe you should just do them all the way you get them finished so quickly :) cc . The waves are incredible, I would have never thought of that! OOO! I just love this site with all this creativity. Can't wait to see all the rest. GO GIRLS!!!

[Kim Hansen]

I like my layouts 8.5 x 11 please.

PLEASE crop the pictures; there is a lot of unnecessary cabinets, garage, etc. So SORRY if I sound BOSSY!

#1 Picture: Birthday Breakfast Tradition
#2 I'm in Young Women's Now

[LucyLu]

Jamie... are you 12x12 i can't remember

[Alyson]

I get to do Kim's pictures! Here are my pictures. Whoever does my pictures: feel free to use one to all of these pictures...whatever you want, do something funky if you wish...something you have wanted to try but haven't yet, I'm pretty open to anything you can come up with...take it and run with it. I do 12X12 layouts.

Journaling: Jeff started kindergarten this year and didn't waste anytime learning how to swing on the monkey bars. He even learned how to skip bars, and he shows off his fun talent any chance he gets.

Title idea: Monkey (or whatever you think would be good)

Date: November 4, 2007

[LucyLu]

Jamie,

Here is your page, I went with the color pictures I have not saved to a jpg yet so if you want anything changed let me know... if you want the high res file let me know... I did 12x12

All paper and elements from Playground/Rileys Sandbox except paper tear from The Garden... (by the way I love the paper tear)

[Kelli West]

Great job Dottie! it is so cute! Jamie will love it!

[LucyLu]

thx i love how you used the swirls for the waves i will probably still that idea some day

[Alyson]

Very cute page Dottie! You guys are too fast. I'll probably be making my page next weekend at the last minute. I'm really going to try to get to it sooner though.

[Jenny McDonald]

Cute page! I love it!
Alyson I'll be doing yours; I'll pm you with my e-mail address.
Here are my pictures.
My scrapbook pages are 8x8
Date: August 12, 2005
Journaling (something like this): After the ceremony, pictures at Temple Square and rushing to get to our reception on time we had to get someone to get us some food. Thank goodness for Carls Jr. and Gaterade!

You can use any or all of these pictures!

[Alyson]

Jenny, those are such fun pictures! What a great memory to have...it's so great seeing you guys in your wedding attire holding that greasy bag. I think I would have been so scared to get something on my dress. BTW, you look gorgeous!!

[Alishaw]

Kelli-Love the layouts! So cute! THANK YOU!
Dottie-adorable Beckham layout.
Jenny-I'll do yours and probably get it done with Alyson just before our 1 week deadline ;)

[supermombritt]

I completely missed this whole scrap swap thing. I don't know why because I have checked the forum a bazillion t imes for things. Is there anyone that would want to trade photos with me or add new ones? If you want to, please know that I am new and it is scaring me to death about doing someone else's photos. I would love to play though.

[Kim Hansen]

Jenny, I was so nervous for you too, just like Alyson said, with that greasy bag, but what a fun memory. Dottie, you are fast--just like Kelli. No worries Alyson, I will be working on my layout all week. I get it done, then I have to think about it for awhile, make changes and then submit.

[Jamie Hamblin]

Jamie... are you 12x12 i can't remember

Yup :)

[Alishaw]

Britt it's OK-we want you to play too. Do Jenny's wedding ones and post some and I'll do your pictures! Get 'em up today or email them to me.

[Jenny McDonald]

Yeah! Brittany is doing mine! I'm so excited! I bet everyone is jealous!

[Jenny McDonald]

I was worried about the greasy food but I was so hungry! I made sure we got a ton of napkins! I have other funny pictures that I've scrapped but with these I couldn't think of how to scrap them.

[brookiewookie]

Brittany, I missed it too!! I missed it last time around.... **crying**

Oh well, I'll try to get in the NEXT time....

[supermombritt]

I will do Jenny's (remember they will be beginner ones) and I will get you my pictures Alishaw.

[A-to-Z]

Brooke you can still play!!!! We can figure it out don't you think Alishaw?

Dottie - adorable layout!! I love it!

Jenny those pictures are awesome!! After our wedding we had to drive two hours to get to the reception and we totally stopped and got Wendy's!! lol It was great!

[A-to-Z]

Brittany don't be nervous!! I'm sure it will turn out wonderful!!! I'm so glad you are playing!!

[supermombritt]

Here are my pictures. I hope they work since I have never done this. My husband Russ and I went to San Francisco for the weekend. We went to Fisherman's Wharf, China Town, Golden Gate Bridge, Sausilito and Ghiradelli Square, Lombard Street and Pier 39. You don't have to use all of the photos, I just wanted you to choose from some. We went July 20-22, 2007 If you want to incorporate them all, fine by me. I like 12x12. I am excited to do t his. I know you can't see my husband well in the Ghiradelli picture, but he loves chocolate and it is fine to use that one. I think I have spelled everything correctly, but not a hundred percent sure.

[Alishaw]

Of course we can figure it out! IF YOU WANT TO PLAY, POST BY TUESDAY NIGHT AT 10 PM. (I need a couple days to do mine too ya know ;) )

[Alyson]

Of course we can figure it out! IF YOU WANT TO PLAY, POST BY TUESDAY NIGHT AT 10 PM. (I need a couple days to do mine too ya know ;) )

You're so nice. I didn't think about the fact that you would have less time to do the page you are doing. I hope it's not too much of an inconvenience. :eek:

[supermombritt]

Alishaw, you can journal whatever you want and however much you want I just wanted you to have possibilities.

[Alishaw]

Britt
I'm hoping Brooke & a few others will post theirs too. Whoever posts next has yours.
Alyson
Scrapping is NEVER an inconvenience!!! I just end up with crazy weeks sometimes.

[Jamie Hamblin]

Dottie! Thanks for the pm... because i would have missed it! You're the best! I'm so glad you got to do mine again! I LOVE it... how did you do the swirl thing behind the pictures... A clipping mask? OOOOOO I just love it!

Yipee!

[Jamie Hamblin]

I was kinda nervous about this one (Because she's the owner) but let me tell you! I had a BLAST doing this one because it was about a girl and all i do is boy stuff!


I left the journaling up to you because I wasn't sure what you wanted.

[Kim Hansen]

Oh Jaime, it is soooo cute and girly. I love the second page with the framing and the rick-rack, staples and HAIR font. GREAT JOB!! Quick too:)

[LucyLu]

[QUOTE=Jamie Hamblin;37933] how did you do the swirl thing behind the pictures...
[QUOTE]

i just cut the paper with the ecliptical ( i hope that is spelled right ) markee and made it an oval... the used an other size oval to cut out the middle, kind of on an angle so that it was wider in places than others then i beveled it.. there is probably an easier way... but I just dont know it yet.

if you are satisfied. I will save to jpg and send it via email...


your pink pages are really cute

[Kim Hansen]

Sure had fun swapping. Let's do it again. This is from Moods, Wild.

[Jamie Hamblin]

Dottie that is Genious! (spell?) You explained it well! Thanks for the tip!

[Jamie Hamblin]

Yeah... I had to make it really girly because i don't get to do girly pages very often

[brookiewookie]

Alishaw, thanks for the PM but when I started thinking about everything i have going on this week, I don't know if I'll be able to participate in this swap. :( I'm kind of behind in lots of stuff so I should probably take care of that first! Thanks for extending it for me, I hope I didn't mess things up too much! I definitely want to do the December one. It's a fun idea!

[Alyson]

Jamie, you did an excellent job on that page! It looks so wonderfully well arranged and I love all the colors and embellishments you used.

Kim, awsome page!! I love the title...your so creative! The colors are perfect for the pictures!

[LucyLu]

Kim ... My page is amazing ... thank you ... i learn so much from these swaps. and get so many ideas

[Kim Hansen]

Thanks for your comments. I just love this scrapswap thread. It is so fun to have a page in my kid's books that are different from what I would do. I hope we keep doing this. Make it a great day. I'm on my way to St. George, so I'll see you tonight! Kelli, when's the 12 step program going to start!

[A-to-Z]

These pages are amazing girls!! I wish I could just sit here and scrap all day every day!!! Wow...what an addict I am!! :)

[Jenny McDonald]

Alyson, I got all your pictures! I'll get right on it! I'm excited! Now I just have to find the perfect paper and embellishments!

[Liz]

Here are my pictures. You do not have to use all of them. Use your judgement. This is Cameron (in navy shirt) and Hunter (in red shirt) playing with their wagon at the 2007 Pumpkin Patch. My pages are 8x8.

Whoever gets my page, please email me lconrad@ecisd.org and I will send you my high res. pictures.

Thanks!

[Liz]

This whole swap thing confuses me. Please let me know who I am supposed to scap for. Thanks!

[Jamie Hamblin]

Kim great PAGE! I missed it when i was on earlier! So cute! Have fun in St. George.

Liz... you're supposed to do the pictures of the person who posted thier pictures last... but I think that it's a little scrambled this month so i would ask Alishaw

[A-to-Z]

Heres my layout Kelli...i wanted to post it so you could see it and let me know if there is anything you want changed. I do need the high res version of the picture cuz the one in this layout I had to make a lot bigger so the resolution isn't great. Anyway...let me know what you think.

[Jamie Hamblin]

Super Cute Amy... she'll love it

[Kelli West]

Amy I love it!!!!!! Jamie was right:)! I will send you the picture! sorry about that, i kinda forgot to do that! thank you Amy! and all i can say is that everyone has done such a cute job with their pages! So much fun! I love all of you! CC....

[Alyson]

Your page looks amazing Amy!! Good job!

[Alishaw]

Ok so Liz you do Brittany's pictures.
Brooke-you didn't mess anything up at all! We want EVERYONE who wants to, to join in. We'll miss you and hope you can in December ;)
Kim-so cute!
Jamie-Love the pink girlie stuff.
Amy-awesome. I can't get over that fun photo.

[Kim Hansen]

Amy--NICE WORK! I love the paper, the scalloped border around the picture and the bubble with the Swartz (msp) journaling. I like the title going down the page also. Great Job!

[Jenny McDonald]

Random question. It's for the ScrapSwap. I remember listening to a song with my mom when I was young and the only thing I can remember is this little bit from the chorus it goes something like this: "I'm just monkeying around." I know it is a little bit. But it would be great if anyone knew who sang it and what it actually said so I can see if it is something that I want to use. I was thinking the Beatles or The Monkees but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks in advance!

[Jamie Hamblin]

Is it hey hey we're the Monkeys?

[Alyson]

Oh! I love this idea! I found the lyrics for you...it is The Monkees theme song (from the TV show I think). You're so creative and I can't wait to see what you do with the page you're making for me.

Lyrics:
Here we come
Walking down the street
We get the funniest looks from
Everyone we meet.

Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
and people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing,
to put anybody down.

We go wherever we want to,
Do what we like to do.
We don't have time to get restless,
There's always something new.

Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
and people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing,
to put anybody down.

We're just trying to be friendly,
Come watch us sing and play.
We're the young generation,
And we got something to say.

Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
You never know where we'll be found.
So you'd better get ready,
We may be comin to your town.

Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
and people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing,
to put anybody down.

[Jenny McDonald]

I AM A DORK! I CANNOT BELIEVE I FORGOT THIS SONG! WOW! YOU GALS ROCK! THANKS A MILLION IT WILL TOTALLY WORK!

[Alishaw]

Liz
I couldn't decide which way to go with this so here are two pages and you can decide which or both or neither.
Let me know what changes you want and I can send you the full file with the updated photos.

Alisha

[Liz]

Alishaw,

You are awesome. Can I have both? Thanks sooo much.

[Jenny McDonald]

Here is page one of two for Alyson. If there is ANYTHING you want me to change PLEASE tell me! I want you to like it!

[Kelli West]

[Kim Hansen]

Oh, by the way, Alyson, how did you EVER find that Monkey song. I needed that a couple of years ago and no one could come up with it. You are a walking encylopedia. (Do they say that anymore:) )

[Kim Hansen]

Kelli, it's you. I saw Jennifer last night at the voting center. I told her I was so excited about my new friend--YOU. She just loves you. I told her she needed to get digi-scrappin' She agreed.

[Kelli West]

[Jamie Hamblin]

I'm not sure how this is all going to work, but i'm sure Alishaw and April have it all figured out.

[A-to-Z]

Being sick is nooo fun!

I don't have a speaker on my phone :( ...I wish...but I have a headset so I can still have my hands free. It will be sooooooo fun...but guess what?! I probably won't be coming on the 17th! :( I'm going home for Thanksgiving earlier than I thought I would be...

[Kelli West]

maybe my husband can help me out a little! he is the know all to computers!

[Jamie Hamblin]

Well gotta go babies are awake! See ya all tonight if i can!

XOXOXO

[Kelli West]

oh no Amy! that is sad! Where is home at?

[Kelli West]

bye Jamie

[A-to-Z]

I think you have to have an actual phone to hear because you have to dial into the conference. Its like at my work...we can see eachother on the computer but then we have to dial in to actually hear anything.

[A-to-Z]

bye Jamie!

[Kelli West]

ok, that makes sense!

[A-to-Z]

Cali is my home

[A-to-Z]

I'm super sad but I don't go home very often so I want to be there as long as I can. We will have to do another lunch/hobby lobby sometime!

[Kelli West]

What part in Cali? I was born in Riverside!

[A-to-Z]

Thats cool! Riverside...I know the name..is that more north or closer to San Fran? I grew up in Merced. Its right smack dab in the middle of the state. An hour north of Fresno and 45 minutes south of Modesto.

[Kelli West]

Riverside is more southern by LA! My whole family is from Cali! Most of them have moves up here since my parents did so many many years ago! I love going ther to visit though! I have a friend who lives in Apple Valley! That is so cool Amy! I hopeyou have a fun time when you go home! :)

[A-to-Z]

Thanks Kelli! I think I will have fun...it will be a nice break!

[Kelli West]

i'm way excited cause my boss is giving us all a 3 day weekend for thanksgiving! I'm soo needing it!

[A-to-Z]

That is great!! Where do you work Kelli?

[A-to-Z]

OK I'm having issues getting my high res pics to April...so April I've put the link in this post...maybe that will work...

[Kelli West]

I am the manager at a place called The Juice Press! its a smoothie/sandwhich shop! really good! If you are ever in the Lindon area come stop in and say hello!

[Kelli West]

but I am very tired of working there, and am not sure how much longer I want to be there! :)

[A-to-Z]

Yeah...I know how it can be. I just quit my job...last day is next Friday. It was full time and super stressful and with school going on too it was just too much...so I'm looking for something part time.

[Kelli West]

If I knew of any places hiring I would let you know, but I don't! Good luck on that! :)

[Alyson]

Jenny, the page is so cute! I love the extraction. Did you say one of two pages? You're going to make two pages for me!?! That's so nice. I think the only thing I would change is maybe making the mokey bigger and maybe overlap the monkey on the picture a little. I really love how you hung the tag from his foot! It's really awesome and if you can't enlarge the monkey, don't worry about it because it looks great!

[Alyson]

Oh, by the way, Alyson, how did you EVER find that Monkey song. I needed that a couple of years ago and no one could come up with it. You are a walking encylopedia. (Do they say that anymore:) )

I just went to google and typed "Lyrics The Monkees" into the search box. Usually if you want the lyrics to a song, typing lyrics at the beginning will really help.

[Alyson]

Alishaw, your pumpkin patch pages turned out so cute!!

[A-to-Z]

Here is the final of Kelli's page!

Credits: (I needed to do a Christmas theme and I don't have the seasons cd so I used other kits. sorry!)

Green circle alpha and red stitching from Atomic Cupcake "Joy" kit, Red polka dot paper and green paper is SP Seasonal Sampler Holiday 2006, Background paper, frame, and journaling "cloud" from Kate Teague called "Berry Days", the fold is an action by Jen Caputo, ribbon and pin is from GGDigital Designs and the font is Slab TallX medium.

Wow...thats quite the list there. :) Enjoy!

[Kelli West]

Thank you so much Amy for doing that! You are awesome! I love the page! :)

[supermombritt]

Kelli if you find that font (Pooh) will you post it so I can know too. Jenny I am struggling with what to do for your pages. They are so pretty and I am worried you won't like them. You will have themsoon though.

[Kelli West]

britt, i havn't looked yet,but when i find it i will tell you k

[supermombritt]

Kelli I think you are on right now. I just found the site I think. Go to http://poohs-honey-jar.com/stationary/fonts.shtml. There is a section called font#1 and it has the Pooh font on it. I don't know if it is the right one or not.

[Kim Hansen]

Alyson, you are teaching me another trick with google. My husband uses that site a lot, but I probably have only used it three times in my computer career. Thanks.

[supermombritt]

I google just about everything. A site that I love even more is dogpile.com. This site takes all the other sites and compiles the info.

[Kim Hansen]

I just love this site and all this new info I'm getting. Thanks for commenting on all these threads.

[A-to-Z]

I love google too!! You can find pretty much anything if you just type in the words and search! Its awesome!

[Jenny McDonald]

Brittany, don't worry! I love ALL your pages! Honestly do whatever and don't stress over it! It is suppose to be fun!

[Jenny McDonald]

Alyson, is this better? I tried making the monkey bigger but it looked grainy. I added some drop shadows too.
Now to work on page to! I'm so excited! Have an idea! I'll keep you in the dark for just a bit longer!

[Alyson]

Jenny, it looks great!! I can't wait to see page two! I really need to get started on my page for Kim. The beginning of the week is always a bit crazier than the end of the week for me, so I should have some time tomorrow.

[Kim Hansen]

Jenny, I love the extraction. I want to try that trick. Alyson, no worries on my page, you have til Sunday night and I just can't wait to see it.

[Jamie Hamblin]

Jenny so cool! I love it...

[Keith]

I was kinda nervous about this one (Because she's the owner) but let me tell you! I had a BLAST doing this one because it was about a girl and all i do is boy stuff!


I left the journaling up to you because I wasn't sure what you wanted.

Check out that perfect hair!

:cool:

[Alyson]

Jenny, your new avatar looks great!!

[April]

Jamie!!!! How in the world did I miss that layout! It is sooooo awesome! I showed my sister and we are cracking up. Thank you sooooo much! Wahoo! I love it!

[Jenny McDonald]

Thanks Alyson! I thought since everyone else was changing theirs I should cange mine. You litte trend setters!

[Angela Spangler]

So sorry I missed this thread! I'll definitely want to play next time!

[caulensmom]

YES! mee tooooo

[Alishaw]

Good, the more the better! We'll do another one the first week of December and sneak it in between holidays!

[supermombritt]

Jenny. I have not forgotten about you. I have had a lot going on this week but you will have your page. I just didn't want you left in the dark.

[Alyson]

I finally finished Kim's layout. I hope you like it Kim! Let me know if there's anything you want me to change. Oh, and double check to make sure I haven't spelled anything wrong or have any typos.

[Alishaw]

Cute Alyson! Love the colors! Isn't Keely a doll.

[Kim Hansen]

OH OH ALYSON, It's Keely--The whole page is just her!!! The colors, the stars, the excitement! You captured her!!! I just love it, the bend over page too--I LOVE YOU!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! It's just like digital CHRISTMAS.

[Kim Hansen]

Oh, I just keep looking at my page. It's so cute. I love the blue dots with the stars and how you did the Text with two different colors on the HAPPY BIRTHDAY. April, told us yesterday in the class that a good technique to a layout is to use one color on one line and another color underneath--you did it Alyson.

I'm ready to do this again Alishaw--this is so fun.

[Kim Hansen]

Alyson, as soon as I saw my page on the post, I clicked on it. I finally now, went back and read what you had written about checking it. It is perfect!!! I know you have my email so I'll be waiting for the big file. I can't wait to get it sent to the photo lab and put in her book. Love it!

[Liz]

Brittany,
What size are your pages?

[Kelli West]

Alyson, that page is so cute! You did a great job with it! I can tell that KIM is soooooooooooooo very in love with it! :)

[Jamie Hamblin]

Alyson Great PAGE!!! That's so cute

[supermombritt]

Liz I do 12x12.

[Liz]

Ok Brittany, here it is. Let me know if there is anything you don't like, or what to change. I left the journaling open so you can fill it in. I don't like the way my own journaling sounds, so I didn't want to do yours. If you tell me what to say, I will stick it in for you. Let me know. After I hear from you, I will email the final page.

Everything except the journal paper is from DSM Flower Patch.

[Alyson]

Very cute page Liz! I love that cute triple frame you used.

[Alyson]

OH OH ALYSON, It's Keely--The whole page is just her!!! The colors, the stars, the excitement! You captured her!!!

I'm so glad! That was something I was worried about. I thought, what if this is nothing Keely would like? I'm really glad you like it. I'll send the high res. copy right now.

[Kim Hansen]

I love it Alyson. Thanks again. I can see that it is coming through now.

Liz, nice page. I love the frame like Alyson said and the journaling paper with the staples. Nice work. I just love seeing everyone's page. They all look soo very nice. Good work girls.

[Alishaw]

Liz-I love that antique journaling paper too. It turned out great!

[supermombritt]

Liz I love it. You made my page without even knowing me. I am not a frilly foo foo girl at all. It is simple but does so much. Thanks again. I am so excited for it. Now I hope Jenny likes hers.

[supermombritt]

Jenny here you go. I hope you like it. I had trouble getting the text lined up just right. I can keep working on it. You can't tell it is off too much if you don't look close. I can take it off and you can add yoru own journaling if you like. Let me know what changes you want. I hope it is what you were looking for.
Is this where I put what I used or do I just email that to you? THis is my first swap so I am not exactly sure how it all works.

[Liz]

Brittany,
I'm glad you like it. I will email it to you. I love Jenny's page, I'm sure she will too.

[Jenny McDonald]

Brittany, I LOVE IT!!! Thanks so much! You captured it how I wanted it! thanks so much! Could you e-mail it to me please? Here is Alyson's second page. Hope you like it!
Credits for page #1: Playground CD, string from Moods, Monkey from DSP Amber Gray "Two by Two" Song by The Monkees ( changed the we to I.)
Credits for page #2: Playground CD, Monkey from DSP Amber Gray "Two by Two" Retrodiva "Frame It" template. I made the gel brad and paper tear.
You said I could try something new on your page I hope it is okay I kept it there! Let me know if you like it or want me to change it at all.

[Alyson]

Brittany, you did an excellent job on Jenny's page. It's so cute!! I like you new avatar too!

[LucyLu]

All the pages are great... these swaps are so fun

[peverill]

All the pages are great. Next time I guess I am going to have to get into the swap!

[Alyson]

Jenny, you must have posted the second page while I was typing my comment to Brittany and I totally missed that you posted it until just now. I love it!! It's absolutely perfect. I love the little monkeys peeking out and the curled photos. It looks so great...you did an excellent job!! Thank you so much for making me such excellent pages! YOU ROCK!!!!!

[April]

Amy, here you go! If the deadline was PST instead of MST I'm 54 minutes before deadline :) Sorry to post so late. I really enjoyed creating this layout. I may have to put my own pictures in and use it. I still need your high res pictures. I never got them. Also, what date do you want? Is August 07 right? I'll finalize the layout and get it to you soon.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/oakapr/a-z.jpg

I used things from about 3 Digital Scrapbook Memories CDs to complete this layout. Let me know if you want to know which CD something is on.


BTW - I haven't really had time to look at the other layouts but I'll browse through them quick tonight and spend more time looking at them tomorrow. I'm excited.

[Kim Hansen]

April--very nice layout! I'm going to scraplift it too. It's a keeper. Amy you and Zack look so cute. I love LOVE STORIES!

[Jamie Hamblin]

Liz and Britt- Very Cute! They'll love them!

[Jamie Hamblin]

April- that is such a cute page!
Jenny- perfect she'll love it!

[A-to-Z]

April I LOVE IT!!! Thanks so much!! I'm sorry I haven't sent you the high res pics yet...I tried but my email was being funky..I will try again tonight. I absolutely love the page...you are amazing!! It looks like you did some kind of effect on the pictures...what is it? I LOVE IT!!

[Alyson]

What a cute page April! You always arrange your pages is such cute and perfect ways. I'm going to scraplift this one too!

[chryslergreen]

Ladies - awesome. I've loved looking at all the layouts, I'm for sure signing up in December!!!

[Alishaw]

So cute!

[Liz]

Brittany
I emailed your page but I am not sure if you got it. Has it come through?

[supermombritt]

Liz I did not get it yet.

[A-to-Z]

Kelli...I wanted to make sure you got your high res layout?....my email has been really finnicky (sp?) so I just wanted to check...?

[Kelli West]

yeah, I got it Amy! Thank you for checking! That is nice of you! I showed my husband and he loved it! Good work!

[Jenny McDonald]

Hey alyson, I just e-mail them to you. You should get two e-mails from me. Sorry it took so long.
Brittany, sorry to bug but have you been able to e-mail my page to me? I really want to put it in my scrapbook to show it off! I really love it! Thanks so much!

[supermombritt]

Jenny I have not. I am so sorry. I will try to do that today. I am heading to Orlando and have been trying to get everything ready for my sweet hubby. I can't believe how much I actually do. Once I started writing down who went where and everything that needed to be done, I was amazed. I will try to get that done ASAP.

Liz I never got mine either. I will be gone until Sun., so I may not be reachable for my email until then.

[supermombritt]

Jenny. I can't find your email address. Will you email me or pm me? I thought I had it saved, but I don't. I will get it to you Sun. night or Mon. depending on how late it is when I get back and if I am still alive. Sorry it has taken so long to get to you.

[Liz]

I am going to try to send it again. I am thinking it might be too large for a hotmail account. I will try again. Let me know if you get it.

[supermombritt]

I got it. THank you.
