The Pirate King is a boy's kit with exciting elements and beautiful papers. Using a Pirate main theme, the kit was designed with several generic elements, so that you don't feel limited by the theme. Scrap away and enjoy!!!

All my kits are Scrap For Hire Friendly.

You can find The Pirate King complete Collection HERE at Gotta Pixel, HERE at Digitals, HERE at Scrapbook-Bytes, or HERE at A Cherry on Top.

 
 




I have also created a beautiful set of The Pirate King Embossed Papers coordinating with your kit. This will give you more options and a set of subtle papers to play with.

 

You will also find a gorgeous set of The Pirate King Stacked Papers, already pre-assembled for increased sophistication.

Butterflies are Free

I just found the cutest layout! Let me show you!

Free To Be Me by KaybKay

The photo is adorable and I like the way the mask is applied. But what really caught my eye is the layered butterflies. The color combination is perfect and I like the subtle pattern in the papers.

This layout was created using one of Silvia's newest kits, Floratta!


 You can pick Floratta up at any of Silvia's stores.

Country Life

I am an avid reader and love books. I am in a book club and I blog about books. I enter book contests, and surprisingly, have won quite a few. It is always so much fun to see that UPS guy pull up with another book for me! Tonight I finshed a book I won last month, The Guardian by Beverly Lewis. This is 'Amish fiction' based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I find the peaceful lifestyle of the Amish fascinating. So when I was browsing Sylvia's gallery a bit ago, naturally this layout caught my eye.

Amish Country by Art_Teacher

I love how the photos are arranged on the page in this layout, and especially love the photo of the buggy. I also like the basket of flowers in the corner. This layout was created using Silvia's Country Life page kit. 


You can find County Life at any of Silvia's stores.

Around the World Challenge - 1 more week!

Just a quick reminder that you have one more week to participate in Silvia's May-June Around the World challenge at Digitals! You are asked to create a layout describing your mom physically. Kind of like painting a picture of your mom with words, describing her physical attributes. This will involve journaling! There is a participation gift for everyone who creates a layout and posts to the Around the World gallery by the last day of June! 

Do you know what you want to scrap about, but need an idea of a kit to scrap with? How about this one? I Love You, Mom! This is a beautiful kit with rich colors and tones of gold!


You can pick I Love You, Mom! up at any of Silvia's stores.

Summer at the Beach

I have another vacation layout for you today. I know my favorite place to vacation is the beach.....ANY beach! The sun and sand and water are so relaxing. And I always come back with pages and pages of pictures to be scrapped. After awhile, it is hard to figure out some way different to scrap them. So I like to browse the galleries for idea. I found this cute layout, and I want to share it with you.

Dream Time by mystampin

This layout was created using Silvia's Aquarius kit. I Love the aquas and turquoises in this kit! You can pick it up at any of Silvia's stores.

Dusk

I was looking through Silvia's galleries last night. I decided to go back in time and take a look at some of the older layouts. I found a beauty! 

Allyson Theresa by Jean Anne

I know this is another wedding layout, but it's June, so it's the season! And I absolutely LOVE that lace handkerchief! I also like the swirls of sequins and all the purple!

This layout was created using Dusk!

Father's Day - The Day After

I hope everyone had a wonderful Father's Day. I really enjoyed browsing Facebook this weekend and seeing all my friends honor their fathers by posting photos with Dad. But one friend made an interesting observation. Almost all the pictures were taken at my friends' weddings. That seems to be the one occasion that there were photos of Dad & Daughter. I wonder why that is... Is it because it is the only time Dad is willing to stand still for an 'obligatory' photo with his daughter? Or is it because it is the only time we remember to include Dad? Hmm.. Anyway, this friend suggested that we all need to make a special effort to get more photos of Dad with the kids this year. Good idea!

As you hopefully know, I host the 'Blast From the Past' challenge at Gotta Pixel. This month I asked that scrappers create a layout about someone who has been a 'father figure' to them. There are some wonderful layouts there. Here is one of them.

My Grandpa by CindyB

Though this is Cindy's Grandfather, and not her father, it still illustrates the point my friend was trying to make about waiting for special occasions to photograph our dads. But I'm glad she got this shot. I hope this layout inspires you to create a layout! Please wander over to my challenge and consider participating! 

Cindy used Nocturne Poem to create the layout. The kit is perfect for this theme!


You can pick Noturne Poem up in any of Silvia's stores.

My Hero

This weekend we will be celebrating Father's Day. In the US, Father's Day is observed on the third Sunday in June. While Father's Day was first celebrated in 1910 in Spokane, Washington, it did not catch on nearly as quickly as Mother's Day. President Woodrow Wilson attempted to make teh holiday official as early as 1916, but Congress resisted. Although the holiday was celebrated informally by many through the years, it was not until 1972 when Richard Nixon signed a bill designating Father's Day as a permanent holiday to be celebrated the third Sunday in June! 

To learn more about Father's Day and how it is celebrated around the world, you can visit the Wikipedia page here

Silvia has the perfect kit to scrap about the fathers in your life, and you can use it to make some beautiful layouts. Here is one example.

Daddy by TerryF

This layout was created with My HeroI love the masculine, heritage feel of this kit!


You can pick My Hero up at any of Silvia's stores!
