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

What a Sweet Sunday!

Hello!! I am finally back! These last few weeks have been busy and I just haven't taken the time to update the blog! Sorry about that! But I have a bunch of layouts with today's new releases over at Sweet Shoppe Designs! (so they are on sale today!!)

First up I have this fun page made with goodies from Libby Weifenbach and Cindy Schneider. Libby's kit is inspired by Scooby Dooby Doo! So fun :) It's called 4 Meddling Kids. And Cindy's templates are perfect as always :D

And Kristin Cronin-Barrow has this fabulous road trip kit - Going Places. The color palette is a ton of fun and she loaded this kit with a TON of elements!

Next up is a perfect boy kit from Shawna Clingerman & Micheline Martin! I know I will use this kit to scrap more pics of Blake! It's perfect

And guess what? La is back with the color series! This week is rocked the yellow color palette - and she added a fun LONG kit name too! You Make Me All I Was Meant to Be is perfect :)

This next page isn't using a Sweet Shoppe product - it's using Jennifer Fox's fabulous Tomorrow's Another Day kit. And I wanted to share that it's Jennifer's 1 yr design-iversary so she is having a sale! And today is the last day!!! Everything in her store is 50% off!!! So RUN over to The Digi Chick and pick up some of Jen's gorgeous goodies :)

And lastly I have to toot a little bit :) My layout featuring Kristin Cronin-Barrow's kit Tropical Hideaway and Cindy Schneider's template set 55 is the layout of the week over at Sweet Shoppe! (well the week end's tomorrow - so I'm a little late in post this!) If you go to the Sweet Shoppe Designs home page you'll see my layout in the lower left hand corner :)

Alright - that's all I have for today. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Fingers crossed that I'll be back again soon :)

Post & Run!

Just wanted to post a few of the layouts I did with last week's releases! This coming Saturday is interNational Scrapbooking Day there will be a TON of goodies out - so I've got lots to work with this week! I will be back on Saturday!


Alright - on to the layouts :)


A gorgeous kit from Lauren Grier this week: Forever Moments. And I love this pic of my sister and I :)

Shawna Clingerman has this amazing birthday kit! He's a Jolly Good Fellow is perfect for all those boy birthdays!

Libby Weifenbach has a great graduation kit out! Check out my layout with Class Of.

And lastly - I am now part of Kristin Cronin-Barrow's creative team!! Her designs are absolutely gorgeous and I am so excited to be part of the team! Here's my layout with her newest release - Oh Snap! I also used a new template set from Cindy Schneider (I LOVE her templates! They rock!)

Friday Layout Update!

So I obviously didn't come back last Saturday to post the new releases over at SSD :( I need to make it a habit to post my layouts the day the kits are released in the store! So hopefully I'll become more consistent....fingers crossed! (btw - don't I always talk about how I'm going to post more often? it seems that way to me....)

So let's look at some of the beautiful releases from this past weekend over at SSD.

First up - La's newest release - You Lift me to the Clouds. Her color scheme for this week was blue -and she knocked it out of the park! This kit is absolutely GORGEOUS! I know I plan on doing another page with it :)



Next is Libby's adorable new kit - The Bee's Knees. This kit is so fun and colorful! (and I must say the patterned papers are awesome!)

Lastly is Shawna's release - a couple of very fun Title packs and a very cool font with Darcy Baldwin. Both are perfect for adding the finishing touches to layouts!

And last up - is my new favorite kit from Jennifer Fox - My Birthday Boy. Wonderful primary colors and a ton of fun elements! The perfect kit!

Alright - that's all for today. I have company coming into town for Easter so I don't know when I'll be able to post layouts and update the blog. Just 2 reminders: 1 - it's Scrap Orchard's 2nd Birthday and they are having a sale! And there are a TON of fun games going on in the forum! 2 - check out SSD tomorrow for all the new releases!

Have a Happy Easter!

Layout Overload!

I have a TON of layouts to share today! Some are for my designers and others are for fun :) So let's get right to it!

First up is this fun layout showcasing Blake's love of dinosaurs. I used Libby Weifenbach's kit Modern Stone Age Family.


This layout uses a kit I bought a while ago - Just A Kid by Fee Jardine. And again I used one of my favorite pictures of Blake :)

Are you ready for some sweetness? Jennifer Fox teamed up with Shawna Clingerman to create an absolutely ADORABLE kit called Sweetiekins. I love it!

Now we are going to hop on over to Scrap Orchard and check out a few of today's new releases! First up is Hook Line and Sinker by Tracey Howard. I knew right away it would be perfect for pics of my husband and I :)

Are you ready to seek adventure? Well this kit by Tracie Stroud and Molly of DeCrow Designs is absolutely PERFECT to scrap those pictures!

Time to get ready for Easter! Lyndsay has an fun new Easter/Spring kit out today - and I think the bunny is absolutely ADORABLE!

This next kit I did just for fun. :) I used Shawna Clingerman's stunning 4 My Boys collection - all 4 kits are absolutely perfect for pics of Blake. And I also used a template from Cindy Schneider - her templates are perfect for scrappers who love lots of layers and papers.

And we are finally to the last layout for today! I used a kit that I bought a LONG time ago - Stormy Weather by Lauren Grier. I also used her new last week Layered Up In You Page Templates, along with 2 of her alphas. And I am totally thrilled with this layout!

That's it for today - I'll be back soon with more! :)
