I was thrilled to have been asked to create cover layouts for Creating Keepsakes' new idea book Easier Than Ever Scrapbooking 2 and for the July 2009 issue of Creating Keepsakes.
And yes, you're right, those aren't my kids. ;) Magazines more often than not use stock photos for covers. If you peek at the online sneak for Easier Than Ever Scrapbooking 2 and look at the first layout, you'll see a layout called "Jamba Juice" which does indeed feature my real daughter. :) I have two additional layouts in there, one called "Bread As Art" and the other "We Love Lobster Rolls."
Lobster Rolls
Speaking of lobster rolls...in fact, we love them so much that on our ten-day trip to New England (just got back yesterday) we consumed them on multiple occasions. First, there was the lobster BLT at Abenaqui Country Club in Rye, New Hampshire. Next came the lobster roll at Robert's Maine Grill in Kittery, Maine (outlet shopping, anyone? :)). Then came the lobster roll at the Ice House in Rye, New Hampshire (okay, so I ordered the fried scallops, but ended up sampling Eli's lobster roll). I finished out the trip with a final lobster roll at Chauncey Creek Lobster Pier in Kittery, Maine:
Black Raspberry Ice Cream
It is a little challenging to find this outside of New England, so when I visit I always overindulge. Somehow we landed at the Ice House three times. Twice I got black raspberry with chocolate jimmies (that's New England for sprinkles) and the other time I opted for kahlua fudge brownie. No photos. The darn stuff melts so quickly I didn't want to lose any while hauling out the camera. :)
I'll try to get some layouts up here soon. It's just been a crazy month between work and travel!

I'm drooling...over the layouts, the lobster rolls(my fave food in thewhole world) and black rasberry icecream,MMmmmmm.
Isn't that funny, last night I was admiring the CK July cover and thinking how adorable it is, so clean & bold, and now I come to read it was yours.
Shame on me for not knowing that right away :)
I knew that July cover was yours the second I pulled CK out of my mailbox, even without your cute kids in the pic. Congratulations!
Loved the Jamba Juice layout Vivian!! Too cute!
Congrats on being a cover girl! Not so sure about the lobster rolls and the is from a maritimer but the ice cream sounds soooooo yummy!
And those covers are just plain adorable! I really need one of those lobster rolls but since I am in Oregon, that might be hard to find like the ones in New England!
Must hunt down a copy of "Easier Than Ever." Miss you!
