New Release! Plus other goodies :)

First off - I have some exciting news! I am now on Libby Weifenbach & Shawna Clingerman's creative teams! I absolutely LOVE both of their designs and am super excited to work for them. So watch out for some layouts featuring their work!

Alright - now on to the layouts! First up - Jennifer Fox. She has a couple things releasing today at The DigiChick including a beautiful spring kit: Whisper of Spring. The colors are gorgeous!

Did you hear that Jennifer is having a call? Hop on over to her blog to find out more information (but do it soon cause the call ends tomorrow!). I also heard that she has a coupon over there too!



This next layout features a Guest Designer (Jenn Barrette) over at Scrap Orchard. Happy Go Lucky is a fun kit - I love the colors :) I made this layout for the One Word Prompt Challenge over at SO - check it out!

A new release over at SO! Wild Dandelion Designs has this fun, colorful summery/springy kit out today - Blue Skies and Rainbows. I knew it would be perfect for pics of my little guy blowing bubbles!

A fun layout featuring You Got a Friend by Mandabean Designs. I knew right away when I saw the kit that it would be perfect for all my Woody/Toy Story pictures!

Last up features Lauren Grier's release from this past weekend. You Are Taller Than a Mountain is full of beautiful elements and papers. So soft and pretty! Perfect for pics of my first mother's day.

New Pages!

Lots of pages to share today! So we'll get right to it!

First up is a page using Snowy Sweetness by Wild Dandelions and Kristin Cronin-Barrow. I knew as soon as I saw this kit that I needed it - it has figure skates and figure skaters in it! One of my passions! And I absolutely love the page I created :) My best skating friends! (who I get to see in a few weeks! yay!!)



This next one is for my All About Me book - the 10 things I love about me! I used ScrapKitchen designs gorgeous kit Kiss me Kate.

So some fantastic news from Sarah Bennett - she is now selling at Scrap Matters permanently!!! We are so stoked for her! She has a fabulous release this weekend - a gorgeous vintage feeling Valentine's day kit called Love You Always. I LOVE the alpha! And the kit is so beautiful!

Lyndsay has a new release!! YAY!!! She really outdid herself this time! Love and Lullabies has all the perfect elements for sleeping beauties! And a bunch of gorgeous papers! Love it!

This next page uses Amanda Heimann's newest kit - Momma's Boys. As soon as I saw it I knew I needed to combine it with Scrapping with Liz's new Block Alpha Templates. I LOVE how the page turned out! Definitely thinking of printing this page out and framing it up in Blake's room. (btw - I have so many ideas of how to use these Block Alpha Templates - so glad I picked these up from Scrap Orchard!)

So I am trying to do Project 365 - and so far I've been pretty successful. (well it's only been 2 weeks! lol) Here is my first week - I used Snowman Soup by Tracey Howard and DeCrow Designs Project 365 Blueprints.


I hope you all have had the chance to check out the January Mega over at Scrap Orchard because this kit is absolutely GORGEOUS! And if you do/did pick up the kit - check out the Mega Challenge (hosted by moi!) - I'd love to see your layouts using the Mega!

Last one up today uses a oldie from Jennifer Fox - Lil Dude (which is actually a collab with Melissa Bennett and Nikki Epperson). I love all the papers and elements in this kit! Perfect for all your boy pages :) I also wanted to send you all over to Jennifer's blog - there is an awesome template challenge going on right now - you don't want to miss the opportunity to win a free kit from Jennifer!

Holiday Collab-Goodies!

So I was able to work with 2 fabulous holiday collab kits! I can't believe that Christmas is only 5 weeks away....I have so much I want to do in the next month! One thing that is on our to-do list is a visit to Santa! And this page using Santa and Friends by Amanda Heimann and Ziggle Designs explains why I am so excited to see Santa this year! (and yes I noticed that I have a typo...I'll fix it!)

My next layout uses a new release from Lyndsay Riches and Wild Dandelion Designs. They teamed up to make an absolutely sweet holiday kit! It's called Sweet Sugar Holiday and it is perfect for all your sweet holiday pages!

Also wanted to give you all a head's up on some good deals coming next Friday at Scrap Orchard! Check out the ad:

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 :)
