Just another Manic Monday!

Just popping in with a quick post about Manic Monday! Once a month, on the third Monday of the month, Designers at ScrapMatters will be putting a few of their kits on sale at 50% off! Such an amazing opportunity to stock up on some goodies at half price!

I snagged Backyard Explorer by geniaBeana Scraps from today's Manic Monday sale for this layout:


Hurry and check out all the amazing stuff before the sale ends today! You can see it all HERE.

My boys

Popping in with a couple layouts of my boys this time!

This moment was just so funny... I couldn't NOT scrap it. I have tons of photos from this shoot, but it deserved it's own page. :)

I used Oh My Stars by Memory Clips, Standout Templates Vol. 2 by Meagan's Creations

I just love the way this next layout came together... I give all the credit to the fabulous kit, 12th of Never by Jen Reed. Such fabulous textures and colors and patterns in this kit!


And just one more layout of all the sunshine we've been enjoying lately here in the Pacific Northwest! I used Jennifer Labre Designs' Daydream papers, elements, paints, and alpha (part of the May Mix A Kit at Scrap Matters) as well as a template from Eudora Designs.

My Girl

Just popping in to share a couple layouts of my sweet girl..

I'm just now getting around to scrapping some of her first birthday pictures. Better late than never, right? I was inspired by this super adorable kit by River~Rose Designs (who is new at Scrap Matters! Yay!), Oh Deer Another Year (and I also used the wood bits add on).



This page I made using a new template pack from Down This Road Designs and Enjoy Life by Cluster Queen Creations (I also used the matching word art).

Happy Easter!

I've got lots of goodies to show you today and they're all amazing, so I won't blab too much... I'll just show you! :)

Once Upon a Time by Meagan's Creations (I told you I'm always whipping up something with her fabulous stuff!)


Pirate Code by Jen Reed Designs


Under The Sea by the ScrapMatters Design Team


Tea Party and Tea Party Add On by Adorable Pixels

Happy Easter!!

Ready for spring

I am SO ready for spring! How about you? It's just about here in the pacific northwest and it's making me dream of summer sunshine and days at the beach. Mmmm...

I created a sunny layout this week with some new goodies from Andilynn Designs. I used Live Your Life In Color: Rainbow and Live Your Life In Color: Yellow. This page was crated for the Saturday Special challenge I'm hosting today. You can pop on over and learn how to make your own elements!



I created this fun page with Crazy Hair Day by Meagan's Creations. I love her designs... they are always so fresh and fun! I think I make a page with her stuff at least once a month!



(P.S. If you like this page, Meagan used it for a quick page, so you can grab the set in her store!)

I also played with some March Mix-A-Kit goodies. There was such a fun collection this month!



(Good Feeling: Papers by Jennifer Labre Designs, Potty Princess- The Elements and Potty Princess- the Papers by Meagan's Creations)

Looking back over this post, I can see that I've been having a little too much fun scrapping my little girl's pages. I'll have to get busy on some pages for my boys next! :)

Here comes March!

So much goodness since I last posted! I almost don't know where to begin!!

I hosted a Grand Theft Layout challenge at ScrapMatters this month. You still have a few days to get in on the fun if you want! This is the layout I made for the challenge, using Wishful Thinking by Victoria Feemster:



Jamie Seaward is guesting at ScrapMatters this month and I've been having so much fun with her beautiful templates! I've done two with them this month...

This one uses her Cut It Out templates, as well as Lucky Sisters by Victoria Feemster.



This one is using Simplicity Vol. 1 templates by Jamie as well as The Vintage Housewife by Memory Clilps.



Last, but not least, one of my favorite designers, Erica Zane, is guesting at ScrapMatters this month!! I did this page using her You Are Amazing colab with Cluster Queen Creations.



The beginning of a new month is bringing some exciting things at ScrapMatters, by the way. We are having a week long customer appreciation celebration! It's going to be awesome, so don't miss it! It starts this Friday, the 1st.

Brighter Colors

After my last post, I realized I've used a lot of muted colors and dark backgrounds lately. I decided it was time for some bright and happy layouts this week! :)

This picture of my daughter was just screaming for some bright colors, especially blue to go with her eyes. I just adore the color scheme in this kit called Doctor's Orders from Meagan's Creations.




This kit from MHK Scraps is also so happy and fun, and it's named appropriately: Happy Memories!



Last, but not least, I did this invitation for an activity at church and really love how it turned out. I used Juno Designs' beautiful I Resolve kit again.
