Miss Crow in July

This month, Miss Crow has a truly fabulous Patriotic Kit called "Liberty."  Check it out:

Liberty_prev600

I made one very patriotic layout with it...

4thOfJuly-sm

and one totally non-Americana themed layout:

OneDayOld-sm

As you can see, it's a very versatile kit!  With a few slides of the Hue/Saturation bar, I changed the red, white and blue flower to a more green toned one.  And a quick coat of paint gave the frame and the flourish a shabby chic appeal.  Finally, I blended two of the patterned papers together to get the lovely orange color you see here.

And rounding out my July layouts for Miss Crow is one for the challenge blog, "Scrapping the Music."  I used Miss Crow's Hatchlings on this one:

You'llMissThis-sm

This is my first time doing the "Scrapping the Music" challenge.  The basic deal is that they choose a song and you have to create a layout inspired by this song.  This week, they chose a song that I love.  It's by Trace Atkins and it's called "You're Going to Miss This."  I happened to be flipping through the radio channels one day and heard this song.  I totally fell in love with it!  I was so thrilled when I found out it was the pick this week.

Reminder: If you're interested in applying for the My Kits&Pieces Design Team, you've got one more day to get your application in!  (Due July 10)

Awww that one of you and your mom is so sweet. That's so cool that you have all these photos from when you were little. My parents LOST all our baby / childhood photos. Sacrilege I say. Anyway - how long does a digi layout typically take you? And btw - did you ever find your photos that you edited?

Gorgeous lo's!!!! I love the 4th of July one!!

Love what you came up for this Julie! Fantastic as always!

Great kit and amazing layouts as always! I'm looking froward to seeing you & your Mom and meeting your friend in a couple of weeks!
