Hop on Board!

So a while back ScrapMatters held a design competition. Many entered and of course there were a lot of us that were cast off in the very beginning. We all learned quite a bit from our one or 2 rounds of participation in the competition and Carol came up with the idea of the Design Star Cast-offs to have a little blog train. And so here we are, all done with our designs and ready to share them.



and here is my contribution:

links expired. available in my shop at scrapable.net

You may have arrived here from Hillary's blog and from here you'll go to Digital Designs by Lisa.
Please remember to leave some love for everyone as you pick up their parts. We've all worked really hard and have come a long way from that first round over at ScrapMatters.

Too much scrapping...

It seems that after 24 LO's in one week and staying up way too late and having to get up too early, I have scrapped myself sick. I started feeling icky a couple nights ago and then last night I felt really REALLY bad. So I haven't done any LO's since yesterday morning. My goal for the QoS thing over at ScrapMatters is 2-3 LO's per day and 10 on the weekend for the month of May. I have some catching up to do over the weeked. I hope I feel up to it ;)

I feel a little better this evening and have made a template to share



you can grab it here. I look forward to reading your comments.

Now if you head on over to the Girls Gone Scrappy blog I have another littel freebie for you. Its a glitter Alpha to go with our Chillaxin collab.



See you over at GGS!

Introducing Digi Town Square

On May 1 Digi Town Square opened its doors 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.

Some wonderful designers have generously volunteered their time and talent to put together this blog train in order to bring attention to this new forum that is quickly growing into a little community where you can find contests, freebies, RAKS, information on various sales through out the digi community, member galleries, product galleries and so much more.

I am very excited to take part in the first Digi Town Square Blog Train. In the spirit of community togetherness the kit is called All Together. Here is my contribution. The next stop is over at one of the Girls Gone Scrappy blogs Designs by Laura and then you'll be heading on over to a couple more of the GGS girls' blogs.


*links expired*

What a talented and generous group of designers we have participating. Remember to leave everyone some love as you make stops at their blogs and download their parts.

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

More Layouts and a freebie

21 Layouts done since the 1st. I don't know that I can keep up with this pace for the rest of the month, but its been fun so far.

I took the photo in this one last summer. I'm very afriad of spiders, but behind the camera it wasn't so bad. We're getting ready to plant some more Basil. I wonder if we'll have another big green spider move in this year.

I used WM[squared] Designs Green and Serene kit.

Chillaxin LO!

So I was really in a slump this morning and I didn't think I'd get anything laid out at all today. Late this afternoon I was thinking about what I could do with this collab, as I hadn't scrapped anything with it yet. Then inspiration struck and I had to do this:

I did have to add the pearl button and the scattered pearls, but I just LOVE how it turned out. I haven't scrapped any of my costuming pictures because I haven't had just the right papers or the knowledge of how to make stuff to work with it.
