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.

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.

Follow me to the Girls Gone Scrappy Blog for More Freebies!

We're all set to launch our new blog and the website is coming along nicely. We've been hard at work collaborating on a free kit to share with everyone. You have to go to our new blog to get to the Girls Gone Scrappy Blog rest of the kit.

I'll be back tomorrow for to post another little freebie ;)

Exciting News and Thursday's Template Freebie!

The Chanin and her Creative Team have formed a cool new team. We'll be offering lots of freebies, hosting challenges, and lots of other exciting stuff.



Go check out our new blog and come back, because we're putting together a pretty nifty little collab to share.

I've only got one LO to share today. It is a LO I did recently with WM[squared] Designs' Vintage Love Letters kit. I did it for the GTLO challenge over at ScrapMatters.

And finally here is the template freebie to help you get started scrapping on National Scrapbook


You can grab it here.

Thanks for all the love left for the glitters. I've been busily working on more glitter styles, because it is true, you can't have too many. :) I plan on sharing more with you in the near future.

Finally updating again w/ free Glitter!!

Wow! I just looked and its been a weeks since I got in here and updated. Its been a VERY busy week, too. Sick kids, lots of scrapping, some designing, and other exciting things going on. First of all I've started working with Scraps by Jenn. I recently did a one kit CT for her and really enjoyed working with her designs. She has a new collab over at Inspiration Lane. I got to play with that yesterday evening.



And my LO. I sometimes have issues with using the sunburst papers, but this one worked out pretty well I think.

Oh and I got to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to CS4!!! That LO was my 2nd using the new software. It is taking a bit of getting used to. Keystrokes are different, etc, but so far I'm loving it.

This one is my first layout using the new software. It took me longer than they usually do, but like I said, some things are different and are taking some adjusting to.

This one I did for a challenge at Digital Candy.


I used Tracie Stroud's Snips and Snails again. I LOVE that kit! If you want full credits click on the image.

This one was done for a Roadmap to Scrap challenge over at ScrapMatters.
