ScrapMatters 5th Birthday Reunion Tour!!

ScrapMatters is celebrating 5 years in a BIG way!  Join us to celebrate all month long.

And since it's the 1st it's also time for Mix a Kit!  I've got a bright, fun insta-photo type collection this month!  The Snap Happy collection includes 10 patterned papers, 7 shabby solids, 25 fun elements, 5 messy paint splats, and a cute little doodly alpha:

Here are a couple of awesome layouts from my creative team:

Be sure to come back Friday for a little blog hop!  And check out my Facebook Fan Page for a Special COUPON that is good all month long!

Mystery Mix Blog Train!

ScrapMatters' Designers have come together in groups and have created some collaboration grab bags. I've had the pleasure of playing with the Mystery Mix Grab Bag put together by WM[squared]Designs, Sya's Blue Prints, Juno Designs and Hafen Creations.



A couple LO's using this AWESOME grab bag:

New kit and a freebie!

My new kit, Dads a Geek, is available at Scrapable.



Its full of computer geekiness and is not just for scrapping those geek dads either. Its perfect for any computer enthusiast you might know and love.

I hosted the June Speed Scrap at Scrapabale tonight and had some pictures that were crying out to be scrapped with this kit. So I used it during the SS.

[

It turned out so cute I decided I'd make a QP to share.

A Sneak Peek with a Freebie!

I am nearly finished with my version of a Father's Day kit. Its full of computer geekiness :) Although its a "father's day kit" it is truly versatile and can easily be used to scrap all of the computer enthusiasts you know.



Here is today's freebie. An Antistatic Alpha that coordinates with the kit. Grab it now, because it will only be free for a couple days.


click on preview for freebie.

If you'd like an opportunity to get this kit free when it premiers, you should head over to Scrapable and tell me about the geek(s) in your life. I've got a thread going here.

Your comments are appreciated. Be sure to check back tomorrow. I'll have another goodie for you over at the GGS blog! Thanks for stopping by.

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.
