Hobby Lobby Window Shopping

November 26, 2015 by Debra 2 Comments

October, November and December are my most favorite time of the year! And my most busy. I have been photographing families, children and most recently for my employer- products for a catalog. These have taken time away from my blog. I would like to share one of my favorite memories from the past month- window shopping.

Window Shopping

My daughter needed to visit her local Hobby Lobby store. I was delighted that I was carrying my camera that day. So many photo opportunities! Not sure if my daughter was aware that I was taking as many images as I did.

Notice the halloween items in the image above? Well, Hobby Lobby also had their Christmas decor out as well. I live in a small farm house. Not a whole lot of room to decorate- limiting it to primarily the tree. It was a pleasure and delight seeing all of the decorations.

After our Hobby Lobby run, we headed on over to Wal-Mart. Of course we had to check out the toy section for Brie.

My husband and I are expecting our second grand baby here real soon- November 30 is the expected due date. My daughter and her husband have chosen teal as the baby color for the room, car seat and such. So I have been on the search of teal colored scrapbooking elements for an announcement card. I was in luck and found just what I needed at Sweet Shoppe Designs.

baby teal color — Will it be a boy or girl?

Friday- the day after Thanksgiving is the day I will be celebrating with my family. I can certainly relate to the saying, the most important gift I can receive is family time when everyone can be at one place at the same time. Tomorrow will be such the day!

I truly wish your holidays are filled with family cheer and healthy body, mind and soul.

Hi, Christmas is just around the corner! Have you taken your family photo yet? Given any thought at all to doing so? The fall leaves will be turning beautiful colors making the perfect setting for family pictures.

Christmas Card Template 2

Free for download the above template shown – does not include the background image of the couple. Simply replace with your own background image. The Merry Christmas with star and banner is a matte. You may change the color by dropping in a new digital paper design. One of my personal favorite scrapbooking sites is Sweet Shoppe Designs

Christmas Card 2

After downloading the Fotofusion V5 template, unzip the file to your computer. I suggest your desktop. After unzipping the file, open Fotofusion. From a blank project choose FILE > ARCHIVE/RESTORE > Restore. Point to the .scrappackage file. The project will then reopen, prompting you to save the project and the source images into a new folder on your computer.

A Photoshop template can be emailed to you upon request. Please note the .psd file will be exported from Fotofusion.

Don’t have Fotofusion or Photoshop but still would like to have a flattened file with an image you submit? Contact me and I will provide instructions for submitting your image. Professional photographer’s work will be respected.

Print at the lab of your choice. Most labs will reference this as a SlimLine card.

Best Wishes,
