However, it's on sale RIGHT NOW for 50% OFF!! That's a steal of a deal and you know these ladies always do fantastic work!! You can find the kit here.

Some Layouts

Hi all! I haven't been a particularly busy scrapper lately. I'm trying to rework some of my Indianapolis pages and get that done up but it seems like a long way to go!! Here are a few pages that I have done, though, and I thought I'd share:

My cutie sleeping baby:

Kit - Losin' Big by Scraps of Ellay

I'm also trying to get some of my (shhh...2009) P365 pages done and these templates are so fun!! (Also, the kit is the one is my previous post)

Kit - Embrace the Day by Scrap Matters Design Team

Template - Super Seven: Set 5 by Cindy Schneider

This is of my oldest when he was a baby and this was a challenge on toning your photo to match the layout and I love how it turned out!

Kit - For the Love Add-On by Stolen Moments and Jady Day Studio

Alpha - Everyday Metal Alpha by Krisi's Kreations

Date element - EZ Date Bands by Erica Zane

Template - DIY Stitched Pennants by Chelle's Creations

Template - Scrap by Number: Just Call Me Alli (newletter freebie) by Stolen Moments

Hopefully I'll have more layouts to show you before too long!

Until next time...

Embrace the Day!

The ScrapMatters Design Team has come out with a fabulous new kit today! It's called Embrace the Day and is a P365 kit (maybe I can use it to scrap my 2009 hee hee!!) It's also a great kit for many other scrap pages and has some fantastic colours and elements! You pick it up here and it's on sale right now for only $5.99!

Until next time...

New name and speed scrap LO!

Hi everybody. Well, firstly, since this is now my scrapping blog and I have a different family blog, I thought this one should have a new name...I'm not sure what yet...I suck at naming things! Any ideas out there?

I also wanted to share this layout with you that I did last night at a slooooow speed scrap (it's the only way I got it done :) ). It took me a LONG time to do this page but I am now trying to get my Indianapolis book done and I really wanted to redo the first page (I don't like the original!) So, since this speed scrap called for a photoless layout, I thought this was the perfect chance!

Here is the original layout:

Kraft paper - 365 International Edition Take 2 by mgl Scraps

Kit - Rustic Grass by Digi-Designs by Nicole

Football - Coach Cocoa by Scrappy Cocoa

Books - Paint Your Life by Cali

This is my redo (with a really long list of credits!):

Flowers (some recoloured) & Paper - Pure Tendresse by Galiscrap

Football & mud splat - Play the Game by Chelle's Creations

Greenery - Fresh Attitue by Chouk77

String - Pimp My Picture by Dilo Designs

Frame - Go Green by WM[Squared] and Sarah Bennett

Bead Scatter - Forget-Me-Not by Andilynn Designs

Book - Into My Home by Cali Design

Date element - Fill in the Blank by Erica Zane

Brick wall (recoloured) - Ready for School Collab by Chriscrap

Rubon Alpha - Easter Morning by Stolen Moments & Man in the Moon Designs

I LOVE how it turned out!!

Until next time...

First Layout of the New Year!

I finished up a second layout, using Scraps of Ellays Holly and Cheer to go with the first page I posted below! (It also uses Temp Blends Vol 3 (modified) by Jenn Lindsey). I think this two page spread for my son's Christmas concert turned out really cute! I blurred the photos of any other kids, in case you're wondering what's wrong with the pics! This Christmas kit is just so cute and perfect for these pages!

Until next time...

Great WInter and Christmas Kits!!

I've actually got two kits that I want to show you today. I've been so busy lately that I haven't gotten to my blog!! With Christmas and weddings and New Year's there has been very little time. Not to mention that I was very busily trying to finish scrapping my calendar!! The first kit I have to show you I used to do my November calendar top.

This is a gorgeous winter kit with a bit of sparkle from the ScrapMatters Design team, called Magical Winterland. I love the colours here and it was perfect for my winter photos! You can find it here. Here is my calendar page (using a template by WM[Squared] Designs) followed by the preview.

This next kit is a beautiful Christmas one by Scraps of Ellay! It is full of traditional colours and fun elements. Now is the perfect time to pick it up so that you can scrap all those photos you just took at Christmas! You can find this kit here. Next is my layout (using a template by Jenn Lindsey and alphas by LDrag Designs and Denise Beatty Originals) followed by the preview!

Hopefully I can get some more layouts posted and scrapping done when I return from the last Christmas we're having this weekend!

Until next time...

My First Year

OK. I seriously forgot to blog this! Oy, it's been too busy around here this Christmas season and it's only the 6th of December! I'm also frantically trying to finish my calendar so that's taking up scrapping time!

Anyway, Scraps of Ellay has a new kit out...My First Year. There are tons of add-ons and a mega bundle available at Stuff to Scrap here. I had some fun with this and did both a baby and non-baby layout. Here are my pages, followed by a preview of the kit!

The template here is from WM[Squared] Designs and the sequins are recoloured from Ellay's Spring Bling kit.

This template is from Sabrina's Creations.

Here is the preview.

Until next time...
