SALE! And some recent layouts

LDrag Designs is moving! Lina is closing her Scrap Matters store and that means everything is 50% off!!




Also, here is the page that I just did with her latest kit, Fall Into Autumn.



Such great colors! I love that blue with the other fall colors!


I also made this page with Say It Ain't Snow which Erica Zane just re-released at CatScrap:



I recently finished my calendar toppers and got my calendar printed up. I LOVE how it turned out! I'm thinking about making them into free quick pages for you all, so stay tuned! :)

Tricky!

Are you ready for Halloween?? I just spent the evening sewing Harry Potter robes for my oldest and baby legs for baby girl's cat costume. We're getting there!

I'm in love with Erica Zane's new Halloween kit, Tricky! The elements in it are super spooky!


It's 30% off right now, so hurry and grab it! You can also grab the coordinating freebie on Erica's blog.

Here's the layout I made with it:


I also did a couple other layouts this week. I wanted to scrap some recent photos of my baby girl.




{I used Snapshots of Life by LDrag Designs for both pages.}

Template Freebie!!

As promised, I've created a free template to celebrate my return to blogging! :)

But first let me show you this awesome Fall Delight bundle that LDrag Desings released this week.



I made the September page of my calendar with it and it was SO easy because I used the frame clusters and graffiti and didn't have to do any of the clustering myself! So easy.




Now, for the template freebie! I really loved how my "First Day of Kindergarten" layout turned out, so I made it into a template. Enjoy!
