And you can too! Bubblescraps is offering a Brand New Outfit Scrapbooking kit FREE on her site for a limited time. It's pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. :)

And Jen, one of the CT Members at Jady Day Studios posted this template on the Babes Blog. And she was awesome enough to ungroup her layers so that all of us could use her files. Wow!

Here is the page I created with these two lovely products:

And for your patience with my move, I've created a Quick Page from this layout...just for you!

Tomorrow I have some exciting stuff for you. In the meantime, let me show you have much fun I've been having with blurring backgrounds. This is something that I have wanted to learn because, let's face it, I'm not the best photographer. And while I try to pay attention to my backgrounds (now!), sometimes you just need to put the focus on your subject, not the background.

Like here:



Anyway, I have a great pic of Steven, but the background is SOOOOO distracting:



But with a little creative editing, I've turned the focus onto Jimmy Neutron....I mean, uh, Steven...

I have a really good feeling about this year. So far, things have started off well, and I am very excited by that! A new year, a new decade...what's not to be excited about?

And I've been scrapbooking, which is always a good thing.

I found some of my favorite pictures from 2009 and put them together in this layout.



All papers and embellishments are from the Love Actually kit by Lisa at Sophisticated Scraps. I had fun playing around with Jessica Sprague's tutorial on creating a dreamy look in your pictures. I used it on all of them, but I like the way my daughter's picture turned out the best. :)

That's not all, though. I've been having so much fun with templates that I made another one for you. I actually made the template first, then used it to create the above layout. That way I know for sure it works. :)
