FREE template #3!

Wow, things have been really slow this week! Nikki Scott has been out of town, Erica Zane is moving and was without internet this week, and the gallery is down at Scrap Matters while they move to a new server. Not a good week in my little corner of the scrapping world! LOL

The good news for you, though, is that I was bored enough to make you another free tempalate!! Yay! I used my Mr. Potato Head page to make this one. Snag it if you like it! And feel free to leave me some love if you do. ;)

Kiss

I love how this layout turned out! I did it for the Grand Theft Layout challenge at Scrap Matters.

I lifted Just Thinking by Linz.

Speed Scrap!

I participated in the Speed Scrap at Scrap Metters yesterday afternoon. It was fun! If you want to know how a speed scrap works, you can read about it here. Here's how my page ended up:


Click on the picture to see the credits.

These were the directions:

1) Pick your photos. Today we'll be scrapping happy photos. Any number you want, but they HAVE TO BE very happy photos!!
2) Pick your papers. I want to see you stack at least 3 papers. No less than 3. Solids, patterns, whatever you want. As long as your page base is at least 3 stacked papers.
3) Arrange your photos on the paper stack. Then, choose a small element (or shrink one down) and repeat it on your page at least 8 times, if not more. It can NOT be a staple!
4) Add some string or bows.
5) Add something that looks hand drawn. A borderline, a doodle, a font. Anything that looks hand drawn.
6) Time to title the page. Use 1 alpha for your entire title (you can use a font too if you really need to). Use an alpha that you've haven't used in a while, but that you HAVE used before.
7) Embellish however else you wish. Journal at least 2 sentences and date your page.

We got an awesome alpha as a participation prize!

Free Template!

I loved my "Dreaming of Warmer Weather" page so much, I decided to make a template out of it! Feel free to snag it if you like it!

LOTW!

My Big Brother layout (in the post below) was chosen as Layout Of The Week at Scrap Matters!! I couldn't believe it!

Big Brother

The Every Day Magic challenge at Scrap Matters this month was to scrap your most recent picture. I love how this layout turned out!!

I used Erica Zane's Falling Dusk kit.

Tropical Escape

Erica Zane released a new kit yesterday called Tropical Escape. She teamed up with Mari Koegelenberg Creations and this kit is packed with fun stuff!



Here's a page I did with it:

This layout was for the Roadmap to Scrap challenge at Scrap Matters.

Couldn't wait

I just couldn't wait to play with some of Erica Zane's cute stuff!! I did this page with a kit called Fizzy Fridays. Erica is a guest designer at The Digichick this month, so this kit is actually for sale there, not at Scrap Matters.



This is a picture of my little sister. It was fun to be able to do a girly page for once!

New Creative Team!!!!

I am SO excited to announce that Erica Zane, from Scrap Matters, has asked me to be on her CT!! I wasn't really planning on doing more than one at the moment, but she sent me a message asking if I'd be interested. How could I say no??? Her stuff is SOOOO cute and I'm SO excited to be able to play with some of it!!

Catching up

I did a few more layouts with Nikki's new spring kits.

Using Spring Sherbert:


Using Fresh Breeze:

Spring time!

Nikki Scott released two gorgeous kits today at Elemental Scraps. Each one has a totally different feel, but both are prefect for spring!

Fresh Breeze:


Spring Sherbert:


And here's a page I did using Spring Sherbert:

Just one layout...

I just LOVE this picture, and I've been trying to scrap it forever but couldn't decide on what kit I wanted to use. I finally decided on Intergalactic by Zoe Pearn.

A couple of Evan

I just realized that the last FIVE layouts I've posted have been of Asher, so here are a couple of Evan to even things out a little more. :)

Another page with Nikki Scott's new Under Construction kit:


The second page is done with pictures from our walk in the snow the other day. I thought spring was here!

A chance to win!

There is a new scrapping site called Digiscrap Addicts and they have a section for designers to post giveaways. Nikki is giving away a free kit to THREE lucky winners. All you have to do is post which of her kits is your favorite. That's it! Here is a direct link to the thread.

Good luck!

Two new kits!

Tomorrow, Nikki Scott has not one, but TWO adorable kits being released at Elemental Scraps!

The first is called Under Construction and is a great kit for little boys! Here's a page I did with it:


The second is called Puppy Love and is perfect for scrapping those precious moments with the furry canine members of our family:

Some challenge layouts

Sorry I've been missing! I didn't get a lot of scrapping time this past week. I did get two pages done, however. Both of these pages were for challenges at Scrap Matters.

This one was for the scraplift challenge. I lifted Sweet by monsu.


This one was for the Tuesday Template challenge:

If you like templates, you should go play. Every Tuesday they give away one for free!

I did a third page, but I can't share it with you quite yet because I used Nikki Scott's new kit Under Construction and it doesn't come out until Monday. I'll give you a little peek on Sunday! :)

Blog Challenge!

Hey everyone! I hosted the blog challenge on Nikki Scott's blog today. Go check it out! If you are picked as the winner, you get a coupon for 30% off to Nikki's store!

Here's the layout I did for the challenge:

Kit: Pastel Spring by Nikki Scott, Font: Pea Cuartas

Rustic Charm

Well, it's the weekend! And that means that Nikki Scott has a new kit coming out soon. This one is so fun because it's full of naturey stuff. Just what I need right now while I'm wishing for spring! :) It's called Rustic Charm.

Here's a page I did with it today:

Template Challenge at Scrap Matters

As the title suggests, I did this page for the template challenge at Scrap Matters. If you haven't checked it out, you should! They give a way a free template and everyone uses it to make a layout. It's fun to see how different everyone's layouts are using the same template!


I used the kit Numb3rs by Sweet Blossom Designs. The template is by Denise Beatty Originals and the font is called Pea Bailey.

Birthday Bash

Nikki Scott has a cute new birthday kit coming out tomorrow!



It's called Birthday Bash and the colors are so fun! Here are the first pages I used it for.





This was Evan's birthday party two years ago. It was fun to do these pictures and see how big he's gotten! :)

Here is another page with one of Nikki's older kits called Alien Invasion. I went back and used an old picture for this one.



Template: V-Day giveaway templates from Lauren Grier
Font: Just one more picture

I won't have to play around with her older kits for long, though. She's got a cute new kit coming out Monday! :)

Template Freebie

I've made my very first template! I used my page "What are you thinking?"


and turned it into a template to share with you all. Enjoy! :)

Just click the picture to download. The password is "digiscrap".

Trouble

Now that I've done two layouts for Nikki's new kit, I thought I'd play around with some of her older stuff. This adorable kit is called Touch of Winter and I LOVE it.


This was also for the Tuesday Template challenge at Scrap Matters. The template is by kkklatt.

Another page with Nikki's cute new kit!

I also did this for the Saturday Special at Scrap Matters. We had to turn a photo to sepia and use it in a layout.

A Lads World

Here is the page I did with Nikki Scott's new kit A Lads World:



This kit is SO much fun! Here's a preview of the whole thing:

I'm pleased to announce....

....that I've been chosen for Nikki Scott's creative team!! Woohoo! I'm SO excited because she designs some super cute stuff! She has an adorable new kit that's going to be available at Elemental Scraps tomorrow. I'm going to do a page with it when the kiddos go to bed so you can get a sneak peek! :)

HI!

I've decided to keep a blog for my scrapbook pages and other crafty things I might attempt. To get started, here are some of my recent pages!
