P365

Another cold, rainy day here in Michigan, and I decided to spend part of my day off getting caught up on my P365 pages. I used genia Beana Scraps' newest kit Late September for these pages:


Very appropriate, wouldn't you say? So, here are weeks 37 and 38:


38 weeks down, 14 weeks to go!

Oh, I almost forgot! I'll be showing you some new kits at the end of the week: a gorgeous ES Color Play kit from Dylabel Designs, and this amazing collection from Scraps by Mara:


See you soon!

Odds n Ends

This is a long post, so if you're going to stick with me to the end, go get a snack!

It's a chilly, cloudy day here today so I'm staying parked in front of my computer, with an occasional foray into the basement to do laundry. It occurred to me that I have a lot of pages that I've done lately for challenges that I haven't posted here since they weren't specifically done as a CT page, just done for fun! So, I'm going to post them here and let you all see what I've been up to instead of oh, let's say, cleaning my basement! I have to admit, though, that a lot of these pages wouldn't exist if it weren't for the fact that so many of my friends and relatives love to post their images on Facebook (you know who you are!), which I promptly grab and scrap! I know I'm supposed to be going back through my own old photos and scrapping those, but sometimes the photo editing required to make them passable is just so overwhelming and not always successful (I have to admit that I'm just not a very good photographer, and years of using instant cameras and putting the pictures in the adhesive albums didn't help). This way is so much easier, lol! And it's all done with love!

First of all, I DO want to show you a new kit from Dylabel Designs, a collab with Leslie Bodoh called Punked-for the Boys. It's a boy-themed kit with an edge, and a little birdie told me that it will soon be followed by a version for the girls! But for right now, pick up for the Boys HERE at Elemental Scraps:


And two pages I did with this kit:


I also used it for a challenge at ScrapMatters that asked you to blend papers:



And now for my random layouts:

Done for a template challenge at Brownie Scraps using My Little Boy from Scraps by Mara.

Next:

For a recipe challenge at ScrapMatters using Autumnal by genia Beana Scraps. A lot of people thought I did a photo treatment, but that's just how the images were colored after sitting around for 9 years, lol!

This is new:

Using Late September by genia Beana Scraps.

Another one:

For a scraplift challenge at GoDigitalScrapbooking, using Be Free by Majula Designs.

And next:

Done for a template challenge at ScrapMatters, using Sun Shiny Day by genia Beana Scraps.

I did this one earlier this week:

For a challenge at Elemental Scraps using Mmm, Fall, the ES September Mega Kit which was available for free from the ES blog !

Just did this one yesterday:

Done for the Week 4 Birthday Bash scrapping challenge at Brownie Scraps, using Birthday Bash, the September Brownie Scraps collab. Luckily I knew of a couple of guys who just had birthdays, lol!

And finally,

Created for a scraplift challenge at ScrapMatters using Oceanside by Trixie Scraps Designs. This was another page where people assumed I extensively recolored the photo, but that's pretty much the way it came off of Becca's FB page, I just tweaked it a bit! ;)

Thanks for humoring me by looking at my work (*fun*). And yes, I'll get around to the latest P365 pages too, but this was capturing my attention first!

Late September and a Freebie!

It's been a little while since my designers have released new kits, but that drought has ended, and boy are you all in for a treat! Several of the gals on genia Beana Scraps' CT were so excited about these new offerings that we decided to make up templates to give away! Your freebie from me is at the end of this post, so keep reading! Late September is a gorgeous bundle available now for 30% off HERE at ScrapMatters. It's a mix of greens and purples with just the right touch of autumn accents:


You can pick up the whole bundle or individual pieces. Here's a page I did:


And here is a preview of your free template! Click HERE to download, and please leave some love if you do! You can also pick up a freebie at Lynn's blog HERE!

My Little Boy

One thing I like about the kits I get to work with is that they are so universally versatile. Take, for example, this brand new kit from Scraps by Mara called My Little Boy. Obviously a boy-themed kit, but I don't have any little boys to scrap! I was able to create a neat page using my little girl! First, a look at the kit, which you can get HERE for 25% off at Brownie Scraps:


And the page I did (and yes, Tina is my little girl!):

Modish

Genia Beana Scraps is settling in nicely in her new exclusive home at ScrapMatters! Here's the newest kit in her store, a cool, classy, elegant little number called Modish. You can pick up the value bundle HERE, which includes the kit, an additional alpha, and some worn papers, or, you can choose just the kit:

Here's a page I did for a scraplift challenge at SM:

Also, Scraps by Mara will be releasing a fun kit on the 17th. Here's a sneak peek:


See you at the end of the week!

3 Weeks of P365!

Whew, I knew I was behind on my P365 pages but I didn't realize how far behind! Luckily, life, which has been very hectic these last few weeks, has settled down and I had a chance to sit down yesterday and get all caught up. So, without further ado, here are weeks 34, 35, and 36. All were done with kits from Dylabel Designs, whose store at Elemental Scraps can be found HERE:
Week 34

Week 35

Week 36

36 weeks down, 16 to go!

Always Dream

The newest kit from Dylabel Designs is this sweetly colored collection called Always Dream. Its soft colors are accented by fun wire elements and word art. You can pick it up HERE at Elemental Scraps for 25% off!


Here's a "dreamy" page I did:

Retro Reunion

Studio 4 Design Works is a new designer over at GoDigitalScrapbooking with a ton of wonderful kits to choose from. I was thrilled to get this kit, Retro Reunion, especially with all the focus on this back-to-school time of year:


You can pick up the kit up HERE for 50% off! I decided to really go retro for this page...are the pictures and kit any more perfect for each other?


I hope everyone in the US is having a wonderful Labor Day weekend. See you soon!

Mint Flower

As promised, here is your look at the newest kit from Scraps by Mara, Mint Flower. It's full of purples and greens that just make me go Ahhhh. You can pick it up HERE at Brownie Scraps. As an added bonus, for the first week only - AND while the kit is 25% off - you will get two additional alphas, one green, one purple!!


Here's a pretty page I did, using the green alpha:

Lit Up and a Sneak Peek

Life has been hectic around here lately...back to school time, and a couple of sick kitty babies that needed attention, so it's going to be a bit before I get any P365 pages done. But in the meantime, I have had a bit of fun playing with this new kit from Dylabel Designs called Lit Up. It's a firefly-themed kit that is great for late summer layouts or just some all-purpose fun, like the pages I chose to do. Oh, and the fact that it's got a fair amount of purple in it doesn't hurt, either!


You can pick the kit up HERE at Elemental Scraps. Here's not one, but two pages I did with this kit:



And speaking of purple goodness, here's a sneak peek of a lovely kit that Scraps by Mara is releasing this Friday:

So, come back on Sept. 3rd for a full look at the kit and also, just maybe, some big news and a freebie from the gals on the genia Beana Scraps Creative Team!
