Bella Obsession

I am a HUGE Bella Gypsy fan. A fabulous sister duo, Lena and Tabatha crank out at least one new kit a week, usually more, plus amazingly versatile templates, and I can't snap them up fast enough. This week I was honored to be chosen for a customer spotlight on their blog!

Daydreaming of Spring

I was in the mood to take and scrap some spring photos the other day, so I snapped some of my daughter watering my garden plants, something she insists on doing every day! Golden Girls has a girly springy kit that was perfect for the photo I took!

In this layout: Golden Girls' Daydreamer, Brown Plastic Alpha by Golden Girls, fence from Golden Girls' Strawberry Patch, date stamp by Darcy Baldwin

Destop Challenge at ES

I'm leading the Desktop challenge over at ES this month, please join us!

Here's the desktop I created for May:

Spring Has Sprung at ES

It's been awhile since I've highlighted the new releases at Elemental Scraps, but I specifically wanted to do so today because I've been in the mood to scrap Spring pages, and today ES is full of new springtime goodies to get your pages scrapped.

First, check out the April Color Play. I love the color swatch, truly good for boy or girl pages!

I scrapped a photo of my daughter trying her hardest to climb up onto the fort on our playset in the backyard. She will definitely have it mastered by summer I think! I used various color play items from BZB Designs, Connie Prince, and genia Beana.


Bella Gypsy has a fantastic rainy day kit called Drizzle Drops that I can't wait to get my hands on. I love how the colors would be great for baby boy pages too!

Litabells Designs has a breathtakingly beautiful kit called A Mother's Love. After this post I'm going to dig through my photos, hoping there was a Mother's Day that I have yet to scrap!


Spinky Dink Scraps has a fun girly spring kit, jam packed with elements. Rainbows, birds, flowers, grass, butterflies... what more could you want from a spring kit?

Happy Spring Scrapping!

Easter Scrapped!

The very BEST thing about digi scrapping vs. paper scrapping... I can get layouts done so quickly after the photos are taken! Just a week later, and Easter is scrapped!




Kits used are: Jelly Beanies by Bella Gypsy & Connie Prince, My Honey Bunny by Connie Prince, and The Hunt Is On by Golden Girls Digital Designs.

Golden Girls Turns Three

And Leslie is having a big sale to celebrate!

She also has a new release today, Party On:

And here's a layout I made with it, I love the bright colors, great for both boy and girl pages!

Rainy Day Freebie Kit

Golden Girls released a fantastic freebie kit called Rainy Day. It's in the store right now, go snag it! (Image is linked).


Here's a layout I made with it and also Golden Girls' Metal Outline Alpha, which coordinates perfectly!

Date Night from Golden Girls

Golden Girls has a new kit out, perfect for scrapping fancy dinners, bowling, date night, prom, or movie photos! I love the sophisticated colors this kit has! And just look at that adorable little black dress element!

And check out these glitter papers that coordinate! So elegant!

Images are linked! :)

Designer Spotlight - WM[Squared]

I was spotlighted over at the WM[Squared] blog today with a layout I created using her Beach Bum kit. I am seriously honored, Wendy is one of my favorite designers over at Scrap Matters. I thought I'd return the favor by posting about her on my blog!


Check out her blog here and her amazing designs here!

Choo Choo!

All aboard the blog train! The template CT that I'm on, Le Pingouin Designs, and the CT for Spinky Dink Scraps came together for one amazing freebie blog train. We used Spinky Dink's Little Engineer and Le Pinguoin Designs' brag book templates to create a huge brag book for you!

A "Golden" Opportunity!

Sorry about the cheese factor in the title, but I am super excited to announce I was accepted to create for one of my favorite designers EVER, the Golden Girls! I absolutely love every single product Leslie cranks out. I am still in shock that she offered me a position on her team! Here's a layout I did for her amazing Easter kit, "The Hunt Is On". It's available at Scrap Matters and on her own website found here.

This is an older photo that I hadn't scrapped yet, probably because I really don't like the way I look in it. I was 7 months pregnant with my daughter at the time. Here's a trick for photos you don't like... turn them black & white!

Scraplift Challenge at ES!

Starting today through the end of March I am hosting a Scraplift challenge over at ES. Check it out! March 13 Scraplift Challenge: Lifting Holly

Here is the layout I made for it, using Connie Prince's That's My Girl:

March Template Freebie

I just realized I missed February's freebie template. I hope you can forgive me!

This template is good for Project 365, which I am not doing, but I am a huge fan of multi photo templates. Good ones are hard to find! Again, I have not packaged this template up with anything, so please take note of my TOU in the sidebar. Thanks!

Bloggity Blog

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!
