Snow In Love...

...with this winter! And here's the perfect kit for it :). No, really, we have had the best winter in a very, very long time - really warm with little snow. Not quite what this kit has in mind but you certainly have to check it out! The ScrapMatters Designers have come out with a soft and pretty Love kit - perfect for this time of year. You can find it in the shop here and here's a peek at what it looks like!
Until next time...

Scrapper Bowl

So, this past weekend was the Super Bowl. Usually I watch at least part of the game but this year I only sat down for the last few minutes. I will say that I was happy with the outcome and thought it would be a good game...so why didn't I watch then? Scrapper Bowl!! I headed over to Scrap Orchard for the day for chats, speed scraps and challenges. I had a ton of fun (4 chats and 5 pages later...as well as a ton of goodies!) and I love my pages. I was just saying that, I'm not sure why, but these intense weekends of scrapping often seem to produce my favourite pages. Maybe I stop over thinking things...I don't know. Anyway, I want to share my five layouts from the weekend with you. I'm working on my eldest son's first year book, in case you can't tell :).

Page 1 - actually my least favourite page from the weekend but it still turned out cute and I love my title.

This one turned out so cute and I used fabulous product by two of my OScraps designers!!

I had to redo these photos of my boy under the lights at the hospital. I used some of my free actions for PSE to edit them and I LOVE how they turned out!! (BTW, I was drooling over some of Paint the Moon's PSE actions but, man, I just don't have that kind of cash for my hobbies!!)
Kit: A New Day by mle Card, Ziggle Designs and Secret Stash
Template: End Zone by Little Green Frog Designs

I dug out an old kit for this page! It was fun to go with a grungy look, which isn't usually my style (though I do love it!)

Date Element: Simply Dated v 16 by WM[Squared]

This one was a speed scrap where you had to scrap in the colours of your country. Now I don't do a lot of red & white so it was a bit difficult until Christmas struck me. I had fun and that striped paper is just sooo cute!
Kit: Season of Giving by Sahlin Studio

Greenery: Fun 'n Frosty by Cinnamon Designs

So that was my scrapping Sunday and Monday! I love how much I got done but now my house needs to be cleaned (and, really, I need to scan and organize photos for this book!)

Until next time...
