This is my contribution to this week's Rockin' Recipe Roundup at SOTB. This week's theme was Mexican food.

I love this crop, hosted by Elizabeth Lane. It is the first crop that I ever participated in last year. It is a great way to get layouts done and create a gift for future generations.

Creative Team Call Submissions

Well .. Elemental Scraps is having a Creative Team Call .. So, I decided to enter. I had fun doing these layouts. I don't have any daughters, so I chose to use a friend's daughter for the layout. These photos were taken last summer while swimming outside. Rachel had just learned to walk on her own. It was a great day.

For these layouts I used Amanda Rockwell's Spring Kit. I received it from the staff at Elemental Scraps when I submitted a reply to their creative team call. I used 2 fonts .. Engravers MT and CK Holida Spirit.

I am beginning this blog as a way to share my digital scrapbooking layouts with other people. My name is Gina and I have been digital scrapbooking for about 8 months now. I absolutely love working with graphics and creating memories for myself and others. This passion actually started when I opened a CafePress shop as a way to help my children through my husband's deployment. I created pillows and t-shirts using photos that I had and military graphics etc. I enjoyed it so much that digital scrapbooking seemed like a great idea.
All of my previous layouts can be found in my galleries at Digital Scrapbook Pages, Scrap Outside The Box and my Fotki Site.

The layout shown here is a simple page that I did for the military album I am creating. I used a background page from the Army of One kit, available at Butternug Squash. My husband is truly my Hero. He and all of the other service members that give up their time to defend our country are truly Super Heroes in every sense of the word.

I am looking forward to sharing my future layouts with you all. I have recently become a member of the creative team for Tink at Digital Scrapbook Pages. I am thankful to her for allowing me to be a member of her team and giving me the opportunity to show off her great kits.
