Two more for October

I had fun playing with this kit, Not How the Story Ends by Captivated Visions. It's a little different from my normal scrapping style, but I really love how this page turned out. It was fun for me to get away from scrapping pictures of my kids for one layout and to do something more artistic!


{I re-used an old template freebie of mine for this page. If you want it, you can find it HERE.}

I also scrapped a page with this adorable kit... just look at that cute owl!! It's Project Fall- Apple Picking by Juno Designs and Amanda Yi. We have plans to do some actual apple picking this fall, so you might see this kit again! ;)

Back to the grind

Homeschool started back up again this month, so I've been kind of really busy with that and haven't had a lot of scrapping time. I did manage to get a couple of layouts done over the past few weeks, though....

I absolutely adore this first page. The precious picture of my little girl obviously helps, but I just love the colors in this kit and this template was awesome! I used Sweet Life by Jennifer Labre Designs and Jargon templates from Zolifrope.



I've been dying to scrap these pictures ever since I took them in early August. Art Is My Comfort by Litabells was perfect for them with those pretty shades of purple! I also used the matching Painty Bits and Sketchy Alphas from Litabells, as well as a template from Road Maps Vol. 6 by Down This Road Designs.



Lastly, this fun page was made using 2FAST4U and matching alpha by Wimpychompers Creations. I love that she put some pink and some girly elements into this race car kit!! (There is also plenty of boyish stuff too, though.... this kit is packed!)

LOVE this layout!

Ok, so I just scrapped this layout tonight and couldn't wait to post it because I am so in LOVE with it! I used a template from Zoliofrope's new Betamax set (currently on sale because they're brand new!!) and the kit I used is Blush by Stolen Moments Design. I have not seen a page with this kit that I don't love.... the colors are just divine!



I also scrapped this page last week and had to wait until today to show it to you because Monsterific is also a brand new release (and on sale!) today. With a little two year old tornado at home, I couldn't pass this kit up. The monsters in it are just TOO cute! (I also used the paints and extra alphas but you can get them all bundled together to save some dough!)

Back from vacation!

I am back from vacation and ready to get scrapping again! I have a billion pictures to go through from  my trip but I've done two pages with older pictures since I got back...

For this one, I used Roughin' It by Sherry Ferguson. This kit has a bunch of really cute camping elements in it! I wished I could have used them all!




I also scrapped this page with Pictures of Us by Simply J Studio. The colors in this kit are just fabulous.



That's it for now! There are still a few more days in the month if you're wanting to sneak in on any challenges... like the Saturday Special I did at the beginning of the month! :) There are also a ton of fun things going on for the Queen Of Scrap celebration this month!

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. :)
