I made my first ever blog post over at ES. Check it out!

Product Highlight: Date Elements

Collab Week at ES!

It's collab week at ES and when the designers over there put their heads together they come up with some amazing things!

Here are a few of my faves that I can't wait to get my hands on!

Just look at this adorable girly springy kit from Jessica Edwards and Flutter Expressions. It makes me really hope our snow goes away soon!

And check out this all "boy" kit by simply.scraps and Angie Kovacs. So fun! I know I have a million pictures this would go with!

This Toothbrush Tango kit is adorable, and would go great with boy or girl pages!


There are quite a few other new releases, head over now to check them out, as they will all be 25% off today only! And have a Happy Monday!

Recent Layouts

Just some layouts I've managed to get in this week. They are all non CT layouts if you can believe it!


This one is my first layout from our vacation to Maui last week. I used Amanda Heimann's Hula Princess and a template by WM Squared for the template challenge at Scrap Matters. You can still download the template for free right here: http://scrapmatters.com/wordpress/2010/02/16/


This was one of those layouts that had a mind of its own. I started out with a TOTALLY different concept, but then started playing around with the wordart in the kit and proceeded to make a bunch of my own too! The kit is Let It Snow by WM Squared.


This layout was actually a redo of an earlier one. It had been one of my first layouts, and I saved it as a JPG and nothing else so I couldn't go back and edit it. This was before I knew how to put shadows on my elements, so it always bothered me that the layout looked so off. I used Pri Rocha's Feeling Moments kit for this page.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Created using Bella Gypsy's Love Stinks:

Love Is In The Air

Digi scrapping really gets me in the mood for upcoming holidays. This is probably because for several weeks prior to each holiday designers are busy releasing their holiday creations! Valentine's day is right around the corner and new in the shop today are more Valentine kits. I love the kits that are really versatile, like Connie Prince's Love Letters. She is releasing wordart to coordinate with her kit today, and I used it on this layout:


To further demonstrate my Connie Prince addiction, here's a layout using her What A Wonderful World also new in the shop today. I used an older picture of me and my son on Mother's Day.

This Is Me

I have a confession to make. I am TERRIBLE about including myself in layouts. The past few months I've been trying hard to hand over the camera. Yesterday I made a layout of JUST ME, shocking!! It was for the template challenge over at Elemental Scraps. You can snag the template here for free if you haven't already!

This was created using Spinky Dink Scraps newest kit, "Little Things". I just love these colors! They remind me of late summer, which was when this picture was taken.


You can find Little Things at ES!

Happy February!

I think today could be the biggest new release day at Elemental Scraps ever! The designers have been working their tails off! There's also a new designer in the shop today: Jessica Edwards. She is coming back after taking a break from designing and while I am unfamiliar with her previous work, her kits in the store today are AMAZING.

New releases will be at a discount today only, so be sure to head over! Your Monday is sure to get a little brighter!

Here are a couple of layouts I made using My Party by MCP Designs and Lovey Dovey by Bella Gypsy:



I can't forget to mention the new Color Play for this month. I wasn't sure how the designers would top last month, but I think they did! All items in the Color Play follow the same color scheme, are mix and match, and only $1 each. I snagged the alpha, papers, and elements for Bella Gypsy's That's How He Rolls collection.

Happy Scrapping!
