New Winter layout

As many of you know, we are normally in Canada skiing at this time of the year. Well, of course, we are a bit further south (and a whole lot warmer) enjoying the sunshine. I'm still trying to get caught up on all my scrapbook pages (no, I don't think I'll be caught up by the time we leave here :-( but I'll be closer).

I love this photo that Matt took and when I went shopping today for some of Kara's new stuff, I found the perfect compliment to it. I found a whole bunch of stuff and just had to show it off. I just love how the clouds are hanging in the valley far below us and I thought turning it into a black & white photo with a touch of sepia tinting made the layout blend so well together.

Firecracker 50

Kara has a new kit out called Bad Boy and it is fantastic!!! I love the papers and the elements that she designed for this kit. It was perfect to scrap some photos of the mountain bike race that Matt did just a couple of days before our wedding.

These pictures were taken as Jayme, Andy and I were at the finish line of the race and Matt was finishing up his leg of the Firecracker 50 race on the 4th of July in Breckenridge. As soon as Matt was across the line, Andy headed out to complete his loop on the course.

Just 4 days before the wedding, Matt had a mountain bike race in Breckenridge. I was nervous of a crash and told him to be careful and not hurt his face. As you can see his adorable face was not hurt, just a bit dirty as he crossed the finish line.

Heart Breakers...

I finished another layout of some older photos today. This layout is from Ted's trip to Colorado last January. We had a great time and took him one evening to a wonderful fondue restaurant in Keystone (One of our ski areas near where we had our condo last winter). It was quite chilly (well, negative on the thermometer anyway) and we had to take two gondolas to get to the top of the second ski mountain where the restaurant was (and two back down). We had him bundled up in our warmest down coat, hat, gloves and the ski resort provided blankets for the cold dark ride.

I absolutely love this iron paper that is in Kara's kit. I have another layout using it but I can't show it to you just yet!!!

Knosses Palace - June 22, 2007

I recently was lucky enough to become a creative team member for Kara Jones at KJoi Studios. She is a fantastic designer and I just had to use her kit "Coral Flower" to scrap some more photos of our trip this summer.

Here is a preview of the fabulous kit, available here:



All of Kara's designs can be seen here: http://kjoistudios.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=1

These two layouts are from the couple of days that we spent in the Heraklion (the capital city of Crete) Greece. For those up on their mythology "The place of the myth of the Labrinth, an elaborate mazelike structure constructed for King Minos of Crete and designed by the legendary artificer Daedalius to hold the Minotaur, a creature that was half man and half bull and was eventually killed by the Athenian hero, Thesus."
