Let's get caught up!

So it's been well over a month since I last posted my layouts! I've been scrapping but have been busy with fun activities that I just haven't had the opportunity to share layouts here. But I'm back with some gorgeous goodies to share with you all!

These are just the layouts I've done this past week - check out my full gallery at DSA to see other layouts I've created in the past month. :)

First up I have this fun layout documenting our camping adventures. I used Penny Springmann's fun kit Gotta Get Away - I absolutely love the activity tiles!


Next up is a fun page of my hubby and I :) I used Shawna & Lauren's latest collab - We're All Waiting For Something. Gorgeous colors in this kit!

I used 3 yummy goodies from the Sweet Shoppe on this next page :) A fun kit by Melissa Bennett, a fab template from Cindy and a fun new font from Darcy Baldwin. And adorable pics of my little guy :)

This next one I did for one of the challenges over at Sweet Shoppe - scrap a page with only 5 solid papers. I was pretty nervous about doing this one since I love patterned papers but Kristin Cronin-Barrow's new kit Naturally You has some amazing solid papers!

A sweet page about my son and his mormor using Shawna's new kit Cozy Blue Jeans.

Last up is a page using Julie's newest release - Smart Chic. I LOVE the colors of this kit! Especially that black paper with the flowers - gorgeous!

That's it for today! Here's hoping I don't wait a month to post! lol

Fabulous new releases!!

It's been a while since I've updated this blog - June was a crazy busy month for me! Guests, seminars - an all out busy month! So please look at my gallery at DSA for a look at the fabulous layouts and products I was able to work with! You can find it HERE.

First up I have La's newest release - You Make Me Crazy. I paired it with a fabulous template by Cindy - Set 63. I absolutely LOVE how it turned out :)


Next up is a absolutely gorgeous kit from Kristin - Sugar and Spice. I also paired this one up with a template from Cindy's newest release. And I used pics from a fellow scrapper since I don't have any girly pics :)



And finally I am extremely excited to share this next page because it is will my new CT!!! I am now part of Julie Billingsley's team :) One of my favorite designers!! This last layout showcases Julie Billingsley's newest alpha - Art and Soul Alpha: Neutrals and uses an older kit of hers: Leaps and Bounds.

That's it for this week! I'll be back soon with more :)

Summer treat!

Over the weekend I was able to sit down and scrap during little man's naptime. I've been wanting to scrap his first ice cream cone experience for a while and finally got the chance to do it! I'm pretty pleased with the end result :)

So yesterday was a very anxious day! The results for the week 3 contestants for the Scrap Orchard CT contest were posted....but they waited until close to midnight to release the results! (there were so many amazing lo's that I'm surprised it didn't take them longer!). I'm very happy to report that I did make the week 3 list! I'm currently working with this kit - Far, Far Away - and hope to have my layout finalized by tomorrow! The deadline isn't until Thursday but I'd like to get it posted and done!

Wild at Heart!

I decided I need to start scrapping more layouts. I use to scrap a lot before moving out to CA and having Blake. And digi-scrapping is so easy! I whipped up this layout in 30 minutes! I think I'm pleased with it.
