Happy Thanksgiving!

Today in the United States we celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. It's a day to get together with family and friends and to focus on all in your life you are grateful for. And since I am not one of those people who "loves to entertain", I decided to create a layout expressing my thanks for Ann and Tom, who so often offer to have holiday celebrations at their house. The photo below is from their wedding some 20+ years ago:



I did this layout using the kits Be the Change mini kit by Kimi's Kreations and Be the Change mini kit by genia Beana Scraps, both part of the November Voluntary Designer's Collab at GoDigitalScrapbooking. WA by JAB Digital Designs at GoDigitalScrapbooking.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Soft And Sweet from genia Beana Scraps

Just in time for the new baby girl addition to my extended family (hi baby Koi!), is this new kit from genia Beana Scraps called Soft and Sweet. It's obviously a baby kit (which is good because four of the gals on Kimi and Val's combined creative teams are expecting), but it's also handy for other layouts. One of the gals did a wintery page with it, and take a look below to see one of my offerings:

Soft and Sweet
Available HERE at Elemental Scraps or
available HERE at GoDigitalScrapbooking:



And here's my layout; I did it for a template challenge at ES:

Lil Dude from genia Beana Scraps

Here's another new "guy" kit from Val at genia Beana Scraps called Lil Dude. It's got some great greens and browns in it with just enough girly elements and papers to make it versatile. Here's the kit, which you can pick up HERE at GoDigitalScrapbooking or HERE at Elemental Scraps:



Here's a layout I did with it, recalling Thanksgiving 15 years ago! This layout was done for a scraplift challenge at GDS:

Someone's Song from Designs by Laura

Here's an amazing new kit for you from Designs by Laura, titled Someone's Song. It's so pretty and romantic. I adore the papers! If you'd like the whole bundle you can pick it up HERE at Scrapbook Bytes. Or, you can get the alphas, papers, elements, and CU styles separately to fit your needs:



I've been waiting for this kit to come out so I could use it for this photo:

Digital Scrapbooking Day Celebration with a freebie for you!

Hey all!
Digital Scrapbooking Day is this Saturday, November 7th, and I'm pretty excited since this is the first time I'll really be participating! So excited, in fact, that I made a Quick Page freebie for you!
GoDigital Scrapbooking has an entire weekend of events going on, starting Friday the 6th. Check it out:



Hop on over to the GDS forum HERE to get in on all the fun!


All the designers at GDS have created grab bags full of goodies that you can get at fantastic prices. My QP for you was made from the goodies in the grab bag that Kimi of Kimi's Kreations put together. Her grab bag includes:
-A full kit
-A coordinating alpha
-A glitter pack
-A template pack
-A pack of clustered frames
-A pack of photomasks
You can pick up the grab bag, valued at $15, at a deep discount HERE! But hurry, it won't be available at this price for long! While you're there, take a peek at all the other goodies the GDS designers have up for grabs (yes, pun intended!).

Now, here's a look at the layout and a preview of the QP I made from Kimi's grab bag:





And finally, your freebie!

Lil Dude

Here's the latest kit from genia Beana Scraps, a perfect little guy kit called Little Dude. It's available at both her stores: HERE at GDS or HERE at Elemental Scraps! There aren't too many "little dudes" in my life, but I thought these photos of Alex were perfect. Take a look!

And my LO:


I used one of Val's strippy templates for this LO as well!

I'm going to find a picture of Tina to scrap with this kit too--green is her favorite color and there's plenty in this kit for girls too!
