Beach Cottage

Are you ready for summer? Just in time for scrapping those beach or pool layouts is this wonderful Elemental Scraps collab kit by genia Beana Scraps, Sherry Tierney, and Meredith Cardall, called Beach Cottage! It's got wonderful summery colors, amazing textures, and some awesome realistic elements. I was inspired to scrap some photos from our trip to Cancun two years ago, and I'm sure more will be on the way!

The kit is on sale right now for 20% off HERE at ES:

And my layout:


Makes me wish for sandy beaches and palm trees!

Mom's Day

I'm just now getting a chance to work with this absolutely gorgeous kit from Verena Designs titled Mom's Day. It's got a wonderful palette of colors that manage to be bold and delicate at the same time. And, right now it's on sale for 35% off at GoDigitalScrapbooking!

Here's a page I did of my sister and a friend of hers:

P365 Week 21

How about this! Two P365 pages in one week! I'm in between CT layouts right now, so it gave me a chance to get a jump on doing my most recent page. The kit I used is a freebie mini kit from Captivated Visions...it's offered as part of the May Daze challenges over at the Elemental Scraps blog:

P365 Week 20

Hi all! I'm back with my latest P365 page. Almost halfway through the year, and I've noted an interesting phenomenom...when I'm busy and there's stuff going on, I often forget to snap a photo, or don't have my camera handy, and when there's a lull in my life, I have to search for something to take a picture of. The girls run away from me now when they see me with my camera, lol! That's why you can't see Ally and Tina's faces in this week's layout---they were trying to hide. I had to ambush them several times just to get these pix! But I'm determined to carry on!


I used genia Beana's kit Diggin' It again for this week's page.

20 weeks down, 32 to go!

Connie Bonnie

Today is the day Marti Scraps is releasing her latest kit, Connie Bonnie! She created it in honor of her sister, whose birthday is today. The kit is available HERE at Brownie Scraps, and it's on sale for 32% off for one week! But wait, there's more! If you visit Mara's blog you can pick up a freebie coordinating gradient paper pack!
Here's the kit:


And a page (about sisters, of course!) that I did for a challenge over at Brownie Scraps:

I should be back in a day or two with this week's P365 page. See you then!

Quiet Morning

Mariella of Laitha's over at GoDigitalScrapbooking creates the most gorgeous kits, and I'm lucky enough to get to play with her latest, Quiet Morning! It's packed full of flowers and ribbons with a touch of shabby and grunge in the papers. Right now it's on sale, so hop on over to the store at GDS HERE to snap it up!

A page I did:

Don't forget tonight's Speed Scrap over at GDS! See you there at 9pm EST!

Just a Sneak Peek and a Speed Scrap!

Not much going on in my scrapping life this week, we've got a lot of stuff going on around the house (not bad stuff, just busy stuff!). But I wanted to let you all know about two things--first of all, a sneak peek at a new kit that Marti Scraps will be releasing Friday, Connie Bonnie:

And, the Supreme Team at GoDigitalScrapbooking is hosting another Speed Scrap tomorrow at 9pm EST. The ST's scraps are fun because instead of one host providing all six steps, each team member provides their own prompt, which makes for some fun times! So if you can, join us in this forum thread HERE Thursday May 20th at 9pm EST!

Mango Berry

Ready for some tropical flavored fun? Here is Mango Berry, a GoDigitalScrapbooking May 2010 Artists Palette collection by genia Beana Scraps. Get it HERE at Val's store! The collection is divided into parts for mixing and matching:

It's perfect for those Mother's Day memories or any layout that could use a soft, romantic touch. The best part is that this mega kit is yours FREE with a $10 purchase HERE at the GDS store!


Here's a page I did...I never met any of my own grandparents, so I'm glad that my girls had several opportunities to be with their great-grandmother on my husband's side before she passed away at age 89:

Dottie

Here's a cute little mini kit that Val of geniaBeana Scraps created for an April challenge over at Elemental Scraps. I had fun using it to create a layout of my little great-nephew. If you want to pick up the mini for yourself you can get it HERE at a great price!

P365 Week 17

Week 17 was not a banner week in my Project 365. A really busy week at work left me pretty much too pooped to think about photography and scrapping. Luckily, this week is looking up and I got last week's page done (with a little help from Google images). I went in a little different direction with the page...I did not use any purple, lol! A lot of the designers are coming up with bright, bold colors in their new releases and that caught my fancy this week. I used Marti Scrap's kit MMgood for this page:



17 weeks down, 35 to go!

Diggin' It

Another new month means another collection of Color Play kits in the shop over at Elemental Scraps! This month's palette is bright and fun, and Val of geniaBeana Scraps has come up with a great set of mini kits called Diggin' It. It's definitely created with little guys in mind, but I managed to get an adorable little girl into a layout!


The kit is available in three parts (papers, elements, and alpha), and this week, they're only $1 each! There's also an add-on collection of shabby cardstocks, and 3 different layer styles. You can get them all at the ES store HERE!
My page:

A Special Lady

Mother's Day is coming up next weekend, and what more perfect kit for that occasion than this lovely collab kit from Marti Scraps and Fishbowl Designs, A Special Lady. It's full of soft colors and romantic elements perfect for any lady in your life. You can get it HERE at Brownie Scraps, on sale for 50% off in honor of (inter)National Scrapbooking Day!


This layout is one I did with a photo taken of my mother-in-law when she was a baby. She was definitely a special lady!


I'm dragging a bit on P365 this week, hopefully a layout will make its appearance soon!
