Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays Everyone!!! I hope you all are enjoying your holiday season! I know I am!! (that would be why I've been slacking on the blog lately - spending quality time with the fam :) ) But I am here today to share some of the layouts I've created in the past 3 weeks. Check them out:

My first one up is with a gorgeous Christmas kit by Sarah Bennett Designs. This month she is guesting at Scrap Matters and she has this kit - Old Time Christmas - in her store there.


Don't you just love the panda bears in this next kit! I know I do :) I used Ziggle Designs Fortune Panda for this layout along with some goodies from Tracie Stroud.


This next layout was done using a FREE kit from Jennifer Fox! Yup - you read that right - FREE!! You can find it in the December DSA Enabler.

My next layout was done using a fabulous boy kit from Sarah Bennett. Tough Boy is wonderful for all those little (and big) boys in your lives! (another kit you can find at Scrap Matters)

So in my previous blog post - I had a layout where I journaled about how Blake would react when meeting Santa for the first time. And this next layout showcases one of Blake's 4 meetings with Santa :) I used Lyndsay Riches' kit Joyous Christmas.

One more fun kit from Jennifer Fox. This time she teamed up with Nikki Epperson to create Warm Winter Wishes - which worked perfect with the pics of Blake from his Christmas photo shoot!

And my final layout! This I created for the December Template Challenge over at Scrap Orchard. And guess what?! I created the template! I had a ton of fun making the template - so please stop by Scrap Orchard and play along! (for the layout I used Santa and Friends by Amanda Heimann and Ziggle Designs - along with a few elements from the December Mega - Tis The Season)

So that's it for today! Hopefully next time I won't wait 3 weeks in between blog posts....Have a Happy New Year if I don't post before Friday! lol

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:

To Kick-Off the Holiday Shopping Season, Scrap Orchard is opening the Farmer’s Market from November 26th to 29th! Hundreds of products, all priced at $1!

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 :)

That's all I have today - I have a couple layouts I can't post until later this week....so check back then!

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!!
