Ready for August?

I can NOT believe how fast this summer is going! It can't already be almost August, can it?? Luckily, I've been having lots of fun with beachy, summery layouts. :)


These goodies are new this week.... Catch the Waves by K Studio (don't you just love how bright and fun this kit is???) and Bursting to Life Templates by Meagan's Creations:


This one is a fun GIRLY beachy page, which I've never done before. I used Surf Adventure by MHK Scraps, which was part of the Mixed Matters grab bags this month.  Don't worry if you missed it... there's a good chance it might be released again by itself, so keep an eye out for it! :)


I also had a get well card I needed to make this week, so I used Doctor's Orders by Meagan's Creations.



And now, I'm off on vacation for two weeks, so I'll have LOTS of pictures to scrap!! :)

Collabs Galore!!

So, this week, the entire ScrapMatters team released collab kits and they are A.MA.ZING! Seriously, go check them out!!

I played with a collab by LDrag Designs and Memory Clips called Here's the Scoop:

(Don't forget all the fun extras!)

I had some fun with girly pages this week because I also did this one, using Love Comes Softly by LDrag Designs and a template from Zoliofrope.


Last but not least, I did a fun zoo layout with Zoo Crew by MHK Scraps, which is probably my all-time favorite zoo kit. Just look at those cute animals!! I was inspired by the ever so popular Project Life type layout for this one. Can you tell? :)

It's almost the 4th!

Any big plans for the 4th of July for all you America scrappers? There are some amazing goodies all over digi-land this week to help you scrap any photos you happen to take! I chose to use Sweet Liberty by Stolen Moments and Mommyish Designs just because I loved the retro feel it had to it.


(I also used a template by Meagan's Creations. All her templates are amazing, by the way!!)

It's also FINALLY warm enough for beach days here in the Pacific Northwest! Yay! I just had to do a beachy page this week, too. :)



(I used Splash Into Summer by the ScrapMatters design team.)

Happy Father's Day!

If you're looking for something to scrap your Father's Day pictures with, I used this amazing guy kit (He's The Man by Juno Designs and Amber Shaw) to scrap some pictures of my guy. This is such an awesome kit... I love the colors and it's super versatile for any masculine pictures you've got!



I also scrapped this page this week....



This kit is SUPER fun and so perfect for my video game crazy boys! It's Technically Speaking by K Studio and it's packed full of really awesome element!

Bow tie

When I saw the bow tie in this kit, I knew exactly which picture I wanted to scrap with it!! This kit is awesome, by the way. It's called a Father's Love and there's an fabulous bundle with a bunch of extras, which I used for this layout. I love a boyish vintage kit!

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.
