Make sure to grab them all! Enjoy

Now available here on forum

The story behind this kit is that before my eldest son (now 10) was born, I had been trying to get pregnant for years…I’d had 3 miscarriages by the time he came along, and my song for him…we had it playing during his birth…was and is “From This Moment” by Shania Twain….I was been singing it the entire time I was making the kit LOL

This kit is huge and includes 12 papers, 6 patterned and 6 solid.

The elements include: 5 buttoned flowers, 5 ruffled fabric flowers, 10 assorted bows, 14 assorted ribbons (curly, straight and ruffled), 2 rectangle frames, 2 round frames, 5 swirly stitches, 16 assorted baby items (pacifiers, bootees, prams and bottles in both acryllic and plain), 5 ribbon-tied buttons, 5 dangly tied ribbons, 2 stone pathways and 4 complete baby block alphas (pink, blue, green and lilac) with uppercase, numbers and extras.

The alphas are available for separate purchase as well, as are the styles I used for the baby items. The styles are not included in the main kit purchase.

Grab the page kit HERE and the alpha HERE

My Layout:

I also have 2 freebies to offer here for you all….the first is a cluster frame I made, and the second is a quickpage created by Melanie of BeeHaven Designz from the kit and graciously offered for free

And now for the layouts!! These layouts were created by some awesome ladies….you can check out their blogs via the linked name under the layout previews…except of course mine lol

Jenn (catgoddess) has made these awesome layouts from my Daddy’s Pride And Joy Kit…I am loving ALL these layouts, just gorgeous…

This is my latest web design job…it started out as a simple template for Zen Cart and branched out into a lot more LOL

After I templated ZC, the client decided they would like the rest of their site to match (forum and gallery) so after some discussion on whether to upgrade the PHPBB2 forum to PHPBB3 or convert to Vbulletin, the decision was reached to convert to Vbulletin. I used Impex to import the PHPBB2 database into Vbulletin which went off without a hitch and templated it, then moved on to the gallery which is Photopost…THAT I thought would be a simple templating job….na ah LOL the registration system was integrated into the old PHPBB2 forum and needed to be integrated into Vbulletin instead…which meant more database work and a reinstall of Photopost to re-integrate it LOL

The site looks really pretty and the client was a pleasure to work with…you can click on the thumbnail to visit or you can go straight to the forum to have a peek HERE

The store has not gone live as yet so I can’t linkie up but you can see the design in action on the forum and gallery….I had a lot of fun with this one and learnt a few new things
