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! :)

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!

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.

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!

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