As promised I have created a birthday kit using the first runner up from the Color Combination Contest (great colors Moe!)
I loved to make this kit because everything about it screamed fun! And that's how birthdays should be! (However, for some reason my birthdays seemed so much more fun as a little girl then they do now...now I do not WANT to get older! Does anyone feel the same?)
I loved to make this kit because everything about it screamed fun! And that's how birthdays should be! (However, for some reason my birthdays seemed so much more fun as a little girl then they do now...now I do not WANT to get older! Does anyone feel the same?)I have to give credit to an awesome designer that I just discovered and she calls herself Scrappin Cop. She has created some FREE actions that you are free to use for digital kits, and I used them to create the sequins, gift bows and curled ribbons in this kit. Here is her link: http://thescrappincop.blogspot.com





I hope you all enjoy this kit, and whenever it's time for you to celebrate your birthday then imagine me singing this song to you that my kids sing in their Primary Class at Church:

This kit is also to pay tribute to my sweet Claire. She is turning 1 in only 2 weeks and I cannot believe how fast the time has flown and how much this sweetie has been through. Since her brain tumor removal on August 11th, she has been seizure-free! That is over 6 months of perfection! No new tumors have shown up from her Tuberous Sclerosis disease, and at the moment, she is perfectly healthy and progressing right along with the milestones of where she should be. She will have an EEG next week to determine if we can take her off one of her medications. Thank you all for your prayers and support. We have been truly blessed! I love you sweet Claire Bear! (Here are some pictures I just took of her to use for her birthday announcement).





I hope you all enjoy this kit, and whenever it's time for you to celebrate your birthday then imagine me singing this song to you that my kids sing in their Primary Class at Church:
You've had a birthday, shout hooray!
We want to sing to you today,
One year older and wiser too,
Happy Birthday, to you!

Summer, can Claire really be a year old already? I always love checking your blogs for photos of her as she is so adorable. And what a blessing from God that she is now seizure free! Oh, thanks for the kit, too, but mostly for sharing your life with us!
Ginny
Thank you so much for all of the kits you do. They have been a blessing in my life!
You are awesome!!! Your kits are always the best. Thank you Summer!!!
I sit here with tears of JOY in my eyes Summer darlin' as my eyes feast upon the GORGEOUS photos of your PRECIOUS Claire. I, too, continue to keep your family in my thoughts and my prayers. It is such a blessing to see Clair looking SO vibrant and playful! What a DOLL!
A little side note, we just had the FIRST granddaughter born on the Posten (my fiance') side of the family and would you believe her name is Claire? LOL! Claire Marie was born January 7th and every time I think of one, I think of the other!
Thank you SO much for your GENEROSITY in sharing *One Year Older* with ALL of us in SCRAPLAND. It will be PERFECT for my first grandson's upcoming FIRST birthday in April.
Love to you and your PRECIOUS family Summer,
Linda :)
What an absolute cutie! thanks for sharing. Mary in Hong Kong
Your baby's super cute :) Thank you for sharing a lovely kit with us, and the photos are such a treat :)
So adorable both the kit and the darling little girl!!!
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Summer, as usual beautiful!
Little Claire is so beautiful. I can't believe she's already a year old. I've been praying for her. I'm glad everything is going so well.
My friend who follows your blog said "you have to see this blog, her daughter has TS too" I was like it could be the same, or it could be something similar b/c I had never met anyone (besides at the TS walks and clinics) with TS. So, yeah my daughter 2 years old has Tuberous sclerosis too. She has brain tubers, but no surgery so far. Glad your daughter is seizure free!!! How amazing for your family to see that happening! Maybe we can come into better contact with this rare similarity! -Sarah
Sorry another quick crazy thing... My husband's cousin is Justin, I think he's in your ward. Small world
Thank you so much for this beautiful kit. The French have a good approach to birthdays because age is never mentioned, which I for one appreciate. Just remember that you are as old as you feel inside.
Big Hugs to you and your beautiful family and happy birthday for the week after next.
The kit is beautiful! Just in time for my family's streak of birthdays, thanks so much.
Happy birthday to beautiful Claire! I'm so glad her future is looking so healthy.
Summer, I have just recently begun digital scrapbooking, and someone recommended your site to me for your kits. WOW! I have looked and looked all over the internet, and I've found some stuff that I've liked, but nothing compares to your site! You are amazing! I love ALL of your kits! Thank you so much for sharing them!
Beautiful and fun!! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talents and amazing kits!!
This is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your talent. I love all your designs.
Thanks for the kit and Happy birthday to your baby!
thank you so much for sharing! you very talented!!!!!!
do you take your own photos? what kind of camera do you use?
That is so great! I have looked everywhere for birthday stuff! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thanks so much for this wonderful kit ! I made one little album with your paper you can see it on my blog.
And your photos are very very very beautiful ! I love !!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much, it is absolutely beautiful!
I've never done any digital scrapbooking before, but I took a class, and the teacher recommended I check out your site... so I just downloaded my first kit (this one) and I'm excited to try it out! All of your kits are SOOOO cute! I couldn't hardly decide which one to try first, but since I have a daughter that's almost the same age as your Claire, I figured I'd do my daughter's 1st b-day pictures with your kit. Thank you for sharing your beautiful designs-- it's truely appreciated! :) Wish me luck!
Such a lovely kit to share and remember your little girl by. It was so touching reading about her and what inspired you to share this kit with us. Thanks bunches. Hugs -- xoxo! (terri - hawaii)
JHawk,
I love your work. Clean lines and great color combo's. Thanks for sharing!!! Do you think you could do a differant color scheme kit for courage. My nephews served in Bagdad and wore the desert color gear. I'm new to this digi scrapping and am not yet up to speed to create on my own.
Beautiful! Thanks!
You are very talented, both making kits & in photography. I love the one of your daughter at that fountain. Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the kit
Summer,
This is so pretty! You are so talented! You have a heart of gold giving your hard work away for free or to try to raise money for families going through hardships! I love all your kits! You are amazing! THANKS SO MUCH! HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)
TONI
