Catching Up!

So I have been super busy these last few weeks! I started an evening job so blogging has been put on the back-burner so I can spend time with my little guy during the day. But I still have been creating layouts! And the designers I CT for have had so many wonderful releases!

Here are about 7 layouts I've done in the past 2 weeks - all layouts are linked for full credits.

This this pic of Blake with our pumpkins I used Sarah Bennett's Sister Susan kit - the oranges are a perfect match!

For the month of November I am a guest on Jennifer Fox's creative team. I am having SO much fun!! I've been able to work with 2 of her new releases. This first one, I borrow a girl pic from another CT member and used Jennifer's collab with Nikki Epperson - Funkalicious Fall. Don't you LOVE the colors?!?


Here's my second layout using Jennifer's goodies! Jennifer collabed with Sir Scrapalot to create the perfect grab bag - Best of Both Worlds. I LOVE this grab bag - it's just a fabulous fun jammed pack grab bag!

For this page - I used Sarah Morgan's new holiday kit - Happy Holidays. Lots of fun papers and elements - a wonderful Christmas kit!

Don't you LOVE the blue background paper! Every time I look at this layout - I just fall in love again with that blue paper! And the little cutie :) For this layout I used Sarah Bennett's DSD Grab Bag - lots of fabulous goodies in this grab bag!

Isn't that frog adorable!?! Lyndsay did a rockin' job on it! And my little prince is adorable too :) For this layout I used Lyndsay's Kissing Frogs kit - a very fun kit!

Last up is my page using Amanda Heimann and Wild Dandelions grab bag for DSD. LOVE the colors of the mini kits they both created! Perfect for boys! The grab bag has been opened and split up (bad blogging on my part!) But you can still pick up the pieces at Scrap Orchard!

That is it for today - hopefully I won't wait 3 weeks to blog about my layouts! I encourage you to check out the layouts I didn't post in the last 3 weeks at my gallery - here's a link. So until next time - Have a fabulous day :)

Fun stuff to share!

First off I am going to start off sharing what Scrap Orchard is doing for the month of October. It's Customer Appreciation Month! Just sign up for the newsletter and you'll get a 25% off fruit fresh coupon! Image is linked to the newsletter.

Next up is Sarah Morgan's release for tomorrow. This kit is AWESOME!! Gorgeous colors & elements!

This page was done for a challenge over at Funky Playground Designs. It uses Sarah Bennett's kit Boat Ride.

My next page is using mle Card's kit Pumpkin Patch. Gorgeous watercolor papers and elements.

This page was for the One Word challenge at Scrap Orchard. The word was Family. I used Amy Stoffel's kit Life is Good.

The next 2 pages are from the same kit. Jennifer Fox was a guest at Scrap Orchard for the month of September. Her last single kit to release was called Take Me Away. I was obviously very inspired by the kit since I made 2 pages! Also some fun/awesome news! I will be on Jennifer Fox's guest CT for the month of November! I am extremely excited!

This last page was fun to make because of the picture. Blake was in such a goofy mood the night I snapped this pic! I knew the Americana kit by Ziggle & Tracie Stroud would be perfect. Especially with the word-art from Elegant Wordart from Bethany!

What have I been up to?! A LOT!!

I have a bunch of layouts I've done this past week...don't know why I procrastinate in posting them though....lol. Anyways - here you go!!

This fun page was done with Snips & Snails and Blend Your Cares Away 2 by Tracie Stroud



This layout I did for a DIS challenge (Disney Challenge) I used a bunch of different kits to create but a majority is from Magical Vacation by Amanda Heimann.

Love these pics of B & J! I used Wild Dandelions new release Witchy-Hoo. A FUN Halloween kit!

Megan Turnidge has a gorgeous Autumn kit out today - Autumn Thoughts. I LOVE fall kits!

You can never have too many :)

See! Here's another fabulous Fall kit! This page was created using Amanda Heimann's September Grab Bag (which is now revealed - Falling For).

This layout was for a RAK challenge over at SO - I used Smooches by Ziggle Designs and Amanda Heimann. It was fun doing a girl page!

So this is my 3rd autumn kit for this post! I LOVE autumn!! This page uses Autumn Delight by DeCrow Designs.

Lyndsay also had a September Grab bag over at SO and it in she included a fabulous kit called In Dreams. This layout used that kit:

And last but not least is Sarah Morgan's release from last Saturday - Doctor Doctor! I knew the kit was perfect for Blake's 18 month appointment!

I also have some exciting news!! I am now on Sarah Bennett's CT!!!! I am so excited to work with her stuff again (I was a guest in July). So look for layouts coming soon with some of her goodies :)

My BOTCT week 2 entry. The challenge for week 2 was to create a layout inspired by a song. My team choose to be inspired by the music from the movie Grease. I decided to do an ode to Blue Moon ice cream. I used a bunch of different stuff from different kits - image is linked for list of credits.

BOTCT week 3 Entry. I absolutely LOVE this layout! I am so pleased with how it turned out! The challenge for this week is to Scrap by Numbers. We could only use items off our list - no more, no less. We used the following recipe:

10 papers

9 staples

8 buttons

7 leaves

6 felt pieces

5 doodles

4 strings

3 photos

2 word title

1 font

And once again I used so many different kits to create this layout that you'll have to check out the linked image to get the full credits :)

So much fun stuff to share with ya'll!! And I'll probably come back tonight with more!

First off is the amazing new kit from Sarah Bennett Designs. I'm a guest CT for the month of July and was able to play with her Let Freedom Ring kit. Isn't it amazing!!! I love all the elements and of course - the colors! You can pick it up here - at Funky Playground Designs.

Other exciting news - Sarah Morgan is having a sale!!! Visit her blog and you'll find all the sparklin' details of the sale!! July is sure starting off right!

Summer, Popcorn & Trouble!

Here are a few layouts I've done the past few days. The first couple are using new products from Sarah Morgan Designs which will be available tomorrow. Very fun stuff!!! Make sure to check it out - you won't want to miss the release day sale :)

And this layout I did for a challenge. Lliella Designs (which is available at Sweet Shoppe Designs) hosted this challenge on her blog - all I had to do was use one of her kits and brown paper. So that was pretty easy. I really like the layout I created - Blake is full of trouble!!
