Love Them Stitches

Hi all!  It's a holiday weekend here in the US, and while I don't have any extra time off, I'm trying to move into relaxation mode, so I'm scrapping! Laura of Wishing Well Creations just released a new installment of her Stitched Down Templates:

I scrapped some photos of my niece from that birthday party I told you about in my last post:


The templates are on sale for 30% off through Sunday, so check them out HERE!

There's a new release from Design by Ziska that I used for a template challenge at My Scrapbook Art.  Take a look at Strawberry Sunday:

Winding Down

Hi all!  The last time I was here we were gearing up for {inter}National Scrapbooking Day, and now that the dust is finally settling from the projects I was involved in, things are getting back to normal.  The Win Your Wish games that I was hosting at The Digichick were a big hit, but while I was monitoring them, I still found time to check out fun challenges.  Pixels and Company gave away an amazing collaborative kit, and I used it to make a layout for an iNSD challenge there that asked you to create a white space page:


I also participated in the Featured Designer challenge at The Digichick.  Alexis Design Studio offered up a free mini kit to scrap with:


Since I needed a new desktop background for May, and this month is our wedding anniversary month, I did this layout:


In other news, Wishing Well Creations released a birthday-themed collection called Another 365 Days:

It just so happened that our family just celebrated the first birthday of our newest member, my little niece Ava, so I scrapped that event:


Finally, releasing today is a collection of Pocket Cards from Juno Designs in collaboration with CK Designs:

I used the cards as little papers for this template challenge layout, which also used some papers and elements from the May Collab from the Digichick Design Team:


The individual card packs are available separately HERE as well, and are on sale for 30% off through the weekend.

Well, that's it for today!  All caught up!  Enjoy your week, and come back to see me soon!

It's May! It's National Scrapbooking Day weekend!

Hi all!  Welcome to a new month and the weekend of one of the scrapbooking world's premier events, National Scrapbooking Day, which is officially Saturday, May 3rd this year.  Throughout the scrapbooking world there are sales, contests, and special events, so let me tell you about some of the fun stuff I'm involved in this weekend!

The Digichick is hosting a sale and some special event challenges.  I'm hosting a series of Win Your Wish games, which allow you to pick your dream products from 19 of our designers for a chance to win one of those products!  Check out all the NSD challenges HERE!

The regular challenges are starting new for the month as well, and this month, I'm hosting the Signature Challenge.  Here's the new forum siggy I made:


I used the new quarterly collab from the Digichick Design Team, called Life Captured:

I also worked with a yummy new release from Kawouette, a designer new to The Digichick.  Take a look at Explore Your Creativity:

There is also an add-on border pack:

The gorgeous colors and the theme inspired me to scrap some photos from last Easter:


The products are on sale through the weekend, and the NSD festivities continue through Monday, so have fun this weekend, and come back and see me soon!
