CT Announcement

I had a really large response to my CT call. I had a super tough time with my decision. I'm very excited to have these talented ladies joining the team.

They will be joining some long time digiscrapping friends of mine:

Belinda, Kimee, Kimi, Kaelira, Mamabear, Kasiec23, and Fireandiceshay

I've fallen in love with my Tranquility kit all over again in the past few days. Zeee did an AWESOME layout with it. She inspired me to play with it again. I made it to the speed scrap over at ScrapMatters for the first time in a long time. It was a great SS and this was the resulting LO:



I woke up the next morning to find that it was picked as LOTD at Scrapable! That was a pretty cool thing to wake up to :)

Anyway, while I was playing with the kit I realized I had started an add-on to it and never finished it. If I find a chance I'll put a few more things together and then give it away on my blog.

I've been scrapping!

I got a chance to do some scrapping this week and work with some awesome new kits. I even managed to find time to do a speed scrap, too.

The first LO was made using Christie Lemmon Designs new kit Rock with U. I Love the colors of this kit. All that green makes it perfect for scrapping pages for Jake. Green is is absolutely favorite color and he loves when I do pages for him with lots of green :)





If you buy Rock with U this weekend you can get a free Scallop QP album. You can check it out on Christie's Blog

I love the how sweet the next LO turned out. I've used Steel City Scraps new kit (it'll all come out) In the Wash. Its a super cute little kit.



If you stop by the Rachel's blog you'll find info on some great deals going on in her store this weekend, too.



I think I'll just post one more LO for tonight. I stayed out in the sun too long today and as a result I've got a headache tonight. So before I really start whining about my headaches, I'll just post this last one and come back tomorrow with another couple new LOs.

This last LO wanted to be done I think. I have this new collab kit from Steel City Scraps and Danielle Corbit Designs called Start Your Engines. I actually do have pictures that would work better with a racing kit, but I just could not find them. I'll have to dig some more and get another LO done that really does this awesome kit justice.



I was looking for those pics of the kiddos in their red push car to scrap and this one kept jumping out at me. Its a photo of me and our litte black cat, Genia, back in 2001. My hair was a bit different then :D



I'll get back on here tomorrow and post another couple LOs. Mike just left to get us some ice cream. It doesn't do anything to the stop headaches, but somehow it makes me feel a little better :)

Thanks for stopping by.

New Kit, Big Sale, and a CT Call!

With Independence Day coming up I wanted to do a kit to go with all of those 4th of July photos I'm sure to be taking this weekend. Its full of rich colors and textures and is great for everyday photos as well.



Here are some pages I did last night and today for template challenges at Scrapable and My Life and Scrap

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.

A SUPER busy NSD! and another freebie...

Some LO's I've done in the past 2 days. 11 so far and I'm setting up number 12. I've already posted a few of them here. So here is the rest.

Some Beach Some Where Mini Kit Freebie!

Chanin asked her CT to do something a little different this month. Instead of making QP's we all got to do a little design work. There are a few mini's, some word art, QP's, and a template or 2 coming your way as freebies. :) In case you don't remember Snowflake Beach Design's Some Beach Some Where kit, here is the preview:



and here is my mini kit add on:

Links Expired I'd love to see your LO's using it,too.

Oh and before I go I wanted to thank Amber of Stolen Moments for the RAK! I won her new kit, Pure Perfection, over at Digital Candy today. Its GORGEOUS! I had to use it in the Speed Scrap over at ScrapMatters today.

Thanks again Amber! It was super fun to work with and I'll most definately be using it again. I also picked up Wynkin, Blynkin, and Nod. I can't wait to use it.

Spring Blooms Kit, more Challenge LO's, and a Freebie

I joined WM[squared}] Designs CT just in time for the premier of her new kit Spring Blooms. It available at ScrapMatters and its just BEAUTIFUL.



I couldn't wait to play with it so late last night (i.e. EARLY this morning) I did a LO after the speed scrap at Digital Candy.


click image for credits

I used another super cute kit from WM[squared]Designs during the speed scrap at Digital Candy last night. When I first saw the kit I KNEW I had photos that would be perfect with it. I had originally scrapped them in paper.



It was a great SS hosted by Christie of Christie Lemmon Designs. I love the steps she gave us. They worked for what I wanted to do with the LO. At least until the title came up. I was all set to use the little "Cat Nap" flair as my title, but she required us to use an alpha, so I had to figure out how to place the title. I got it figured out and wound up using the cat nap element from the kit anyway. I just love how it turned out.

This next one is this week's BAM weekly challenge LO. We just had to scrap some funny photos.

I did this one for the ScrapMatters Grand Theft LO challenge. I lifted this one

And with this last LO I'm all caught up with posting my pages :) It was done during the afternoon Speed Scrap at ScrapMatters on Friday.

I'm really lucky I finished in the time limit. Jake was sick and throwing up. It was before Kayleigh's nap, but during lunch. I had to help Jake, feed Kayleigh and myself lunch, get her ready for a nap, and still managed to finish. The kit was so perfect for the photos.

I got my first email with links to a LO using one of my templates today.

I love how she used the template. If you feel the urge click on the link and go leave her some love for her beautiful Easter LO.


And today's freebie template:


You can grab it here. Comments are appreciated. I'd love to see your LO's using my templates.

I've got another template set up for tomorrow. Check back then.
