Trevor's Tracks by Inkin Creations

My designer friend Erika, who is Inkin' Creations and sells at Bouquet of Pixels, made a digital kit for me!!! I gave her the idea of 'training wheels', because I have 3 grandkids that are 5, almost 4 and almost 3, who have or are learning how to ride, tricycles, bicycles and even motorcycles! My inspiration came from some photos from Easter day this year. Jenna, the oldest has a motorcycle with training wheels that she is learning to ride. Trevor, her younger brother (2) wanted to sit on it, so Daddy put him on.......and he revved it and took off!!! Didnt expect that. Luckily Daddy was able to catch up to him.
So this is the kit Erika designed for me...and I bet there are alot of you that would love it too....so go pick it up over at Bouquet of Pixels - Trevors Tracks

As soon as she uploaded it, I downloaded it and created these three layouts.....all in one night! Crazy I know, but I love it...and them....and this kit!! Thanks Erika!

Digi Town Square Inagural Blog Train

Digi Town Square opened it's doors on the 1st May 2009 as a place where designers from all sites and scrappers of all styles could come together to share their love of scrap, discuss new trends and advertise their latest and greatest - be it a kit or a layout.

In the spirit of sharing a bunch of members from many different sites have come together to bring you the All Together Blog Train and you should have arrived here from TheMommason Blog.

While I am not a designer, I am a digital layout artist...yep a digi scrapper, and I volunteered to make up some quick pages from the All Together Kit to give away, this is what I created:

and you can download them HERE

Your next stop on the Blog Train is Christy.

Everyone is on different time zones so if a part is not already up then please try again later.
