Moody

Yes, I'm moody, but it's a great mood! I have joined the Creative Team of Kylie M Designs! "Moody" is the name of this first kit to show you from her site, KylieM Designs, where for less than $5.00 for a 6-month subscription you have access not only to this kit but just about everything else on her site--kits, masks, papers, elements, you name it! The entire Moody collection is made up of the 2 kits shown below, plus an add-on freebie and alpha. Below the preview is a layout I made using the kit (I also used one of her great page masks):

BIG NEWS! and...At the Seashore

I have some wonderful news! I have joined the Creative Team for Designs by Laura. What does that mean? It means that a couple of times a month I get to choose from some of Laura's lovely kits and create a page or two to show off her products here and there. She offers her products at several stores but our team's home base is at My Life and Scrap. Laura has been so fantastic, and I'm already getting to know the other team members--Jeniffer, Celine, Mara, Brandy, and Mandy. I'm so happy to be spreading my wings!

Without futher ado, here's my first two LO's for Laura--they were both done for challenges over at My Life and Scrap, so they had to follow certain requirements--go check it out!
But first, here's Laura's kit "At the Seashore" that I used for both LO's (I love these subdued colors!):

You can get it HERE

Starlight

I had the honor of being one of several scrappers selected by Sherry of SherrysScraps to create some layouts with her brand-new kit "Starlight"! It's a kit tailor-made for someone like me who scraps mostly girls, LOL! Here are my layouts, and if you like the kit as much as I do, you can get it HERE:

This is the layout I did for the May AppleCart Challenge at ScrapOrchard. As before, a designer provided a kit and you had to use everything in the kit to make a layout. This one was tough for me for 2 reasons: first, the colors and patterns are not ones I would normally use, and second, it was a big kit to fit onto one LO---8 papers and 13 elements! I usually keep my papers and elements on my layouts fairly big so I had to do some things differently to get everything to fit.:Kit: ScrapOrchard May AppleCart challenge kit by Matahati Designs

Cinco de Mayo

As soon as I saw this kit, I knew just which photo to scrap with it. The kit is called "Cinco de Mayo" by Marci Parmeley of Hot Flash Designs, and you can get it HERE. Don't you just love the colors?

OK, so this might be a weird photo to scrap, but there's logic to my madness: first, the way the lamp over our table at the restaurant highlighted the plate of shells looked kind of cool. Second, I remember one of the scrapping sites a while back offering a challenge to folks to scrap something they normally wouldn't put in a layout. So, I figure, if someone can scrap their laundry room, why not this?
PS. Don't you love the colors in this kit?Kit: "Sherbert" by Barbara Lee at Just Passing Through

Tina (my baby!) is a high school senior, so spring means lots of school banquets and events:I did the seashell background myself from photos I took of the centerpiece of the table at the banquet.
