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.

Resolutions

January is just flying by! Have you made any resolutions for the new year? Most of my resolutions have to do with mothering my children this year. This layout is sort of a simplified version of this year's resolutions. I used a beautiful kit by Juno Designs called I Resolve. I also used this layout for the template challenge I hosted at the beginning of the month, so make sure to head over there and snag the free template!!



I made this page for the Grand Theft Layout challenge that I hosted this month {I lifted Give Me Java by Jaye} and I used several parts of January's Mix A Kit: Fantastic Plastic Alpha and The Basics Cardstocks by Amy Stoffel, Everyday Colormix Elements by Clever Monkey Graphics, and Chalked Journal Cards by Down This Road Designs.


I'm in love with how this next page turned out! It was a layout that was really frustrating me at first and I changed it several times. In the end, I loved the result, though! I used Frosty Flakes and Frosty Flakes Paint & Felts by Memory Clips. (Psssst..... it's cheaper to get them in the bundle HERE!)


Last but not least, I scrapped this page this week. I love this kit (P.S. I Love You by Memory Clips) because it's kind of Valentine's Day-ish, but also boy-ish. Such a cute kit!

December goodness

Happy New Year!! 2012 was a wonderful year for me and I'm looking forward to 2013! As you can imagine, December was a little bit crazy. I'm happy to say that I have planned a full day of sitting around in my PJs for today, so I can finally sit down and get a blog post done! :)

I played with so many fabulous kits in December.... you will definitely have no problem finding some awesome goodies to scrap your holiday memories with this year!!

Here's a two-pager form Christmas Eve last year...

This was my page for the template challenge I hosted this month. You can still grab the free template in the challenge thread!

A Christmas to Remeber by Meagan's Creations

There were some seriously cute templates from Meagan's Creations this month. Her templates are always so unique and creative... I love them! And don't you just love the colors in this kit from Litabells Designs? It was perfect for this year's family photos.

Here is a page using a Christmas kit from LDrag Designs that I really loved using (again, from last Christmas). The colors are just so pretty!

A Special Day: Christmas Edition by LDrag Designs

Last but not least.... I really loved making a winter page with a dark background.... something totally different than I would normally do! And this kit is simply gorgeous. Take a look at that cute alpha!

Winter Berry by Litabells Designs and Studio Flergs

WHEW! Now it's time to get scrapping all of THIS year's Christmas pictures!! ;)

Happy Thanksgiving!! (and another FREE Tuesday Template!)

Are you looking forward to stuffing your face today? I know I am! :) What about Black Friday? Personally, I avoid leaving the house on Black Friday, but I'm hoping to find a few online deals. There are going to be some really awesome grab bags and Scrap Matters tomorrow! The best part about it is, you don't have to be up at 4 am to snag them! ;)

It's a quiet morning around here (for now) so I thought I'd share what I've been up to lately.

This one I made with Down This Road Designs' DSD grab bag which included Tags and Things, Color My World Solids paper pack, Dangle Charms, and Color My World Stash:


I'm hosting another Tuesday Template Challenge over at Scrap Matters this month. Go snag the free template and let me see what you do with it! Here's my page with it, using Fall Festival by Clever Monkey Graphics:



I will definitely be using this kit again, because I didn't get a chance to use any of the ADORABLE animals included in the kit. Just look at these!

 

For this page, I used a new template pack by Eudora Designs. I love her templates... they automatically turn me into an amazing cluster-er! lol


I also used School Rules by Clever Monkey Graphics

And finally, to get myself in the holiday mood, I scrapped a Christmas layout! Can you believe this is the very first page I've scrapped of LAST Christmas?? I need to get on the ball!

I used Merry and Bright by Designs by CRK.

Digital Scrapbooking Day!

It's that time of year again....



It's DSD this weekend! Hooray! The designers have been working hard to bring you some awesome grab bags this weekend!

Ok, now for what I've been working on:

My cute little boy insisted on having a spaghetti party the other day. What an imagination this one has. :)

Using: Mangiamo! by Amy Stoffel and Gimme Layers Vol. 38 (templates) by Cluster Queen Creations

These templates by Cluster Queen Creations are so fun to use. I just love the flow of them with those wavy lines. Here's another one:


Using: I'm On A Boat by Crossbone Cuts Designs and Gimme Layers Vol. 38 (templates) by Cluster Queen Creations. Alpha is from Mangiamo! by Amy Stoffel

Have fun shopping this weekend! ;)

October goodnes..... so far (including a free template!!)

This month totally ran away with me! How is it almost Halloween already??

Here is what I've been working on this month:

I did this one for the Grand Theft Layout challenge at ScrapMatters, so it's a lift of Today by Cluster Queen.

Using Just One More Picture by Clever Monkey Graphics.

This next one is for the Gender Bender challenge I hosted this month at ScrapMatters. You have to use a boyish kit to make a girly page, or vice versa. I love how this one turned out.

Using Retro Halloween by Meagan's Creations.

Last but not least, I hosted a template challenge at ScrapMatters this month, using this layout:
